"Recommended by a professional: Beauty expert Gabriel Talanioglu swears by these products
They are my inspiration when it comes to expanding my makeup collection, replacing an empty skincare tube in the bathroom, or finding a new fragrance: professionals from the beauty and wellness industry who have extensive insider knowledge and know exactly which products are really worth it.
One of them is the successful beauty and fashion content creator, makeup artist, hairstylist and stylist Gabriel Talanioglu (you must follow him on Instagram follow and on his Website you can learn more about his work), who tells you in a new edition of the "Beauty Essentials"* section which beauty products he always has with him and why he swears by them.

Skin care
"I'm often asked about my secret to success, and the answer is always the same: skincare. Because—and all my colleagues will confirm this—the clearer and more beautiful the skin, the easier it is for a makeup artist to create a natural look with a great glow.
For the perfect base, I have been using three natural skincare products from the Swiss brand be pure for many years, both at work and in my private life:
Be Pure Soothing Nectar
" This intensely moisturizing serum has a light texture, which I personally appreciate. The soothing active ingredients in the formula make it suitable for sensitive skin and even reduce mild redness."
Be Pure Facial Oil Royal Night Serum Prickly Pear
"Prickly pear seed oil has long been celebrated as a trending active ingredient on social media due to its numerous anti-aging effects. TheRoyal Night Serum also contains other natural active ingredients, which, when combined, create a truly powerful cocktail for dry, mature, irritated, and sensitive skin.
Despite the many high-quality plant oils, the texture is very light, so the product is quickly absorbed.
Be Pure Brightening Eye Serum Rose-Prickly Pear
"A good concealer—more on that later—can easily conjure up five hours of sleep, provided the eye area has been cared for beforehand with a good product. Thanks to its easy application and sophisticated formula, this serum from Be Pure has immediately become one of my favorite skincare favorites, and I'm happy to recommend it."
Shiseido Expert Sun Protector
"For me, skin care also means sun protection, because UV rays are the reason why we often look older than we are. Conversely, natural skin aging can be delayed at least a little by using sunscreen daily.
I always use the Face & Body Lotion with SPF 50+ from Shiseido's Expert Sun Protector line. In addition to a light texture and a lovely scent, this cream boasts a special formula that reacts to sweat, water, and the sun's heat to enhance its protective effect.
"The clearer and more beautiful the skin, the easier it is for a makeup artist to create a natural look with a great glow."
Make up
RoseKin Daily Protection Liquid Foundation SPF 50+
"One of the best foundations, which, as an added bonus, protects against UV rays with SPF 50. The other products from the Swiss skincare brand RoseKin (in this In the text you will learn everything about the philosophy behind it ) are great!»
Jeffree Star Extreme Frost Highlighter
"To add luminous highlights to my face, I prefer to use Jeffree Star's Extreme Frost Highlighter, which is particularly shiny. Important: A little goes a long way; I always use a little and build up the look as needed."
Fenty Stix Matte Skinstick Foundation
"Fenty Beauty is a brilliant brand because they have the right product for every skin type and color. The Match Stix convinces me, on the one hand, with its versatility—you can use it as a concealer, for contouring, to touch up, or to correct—and, on the other hand, with its smooth texture, which blends super well."
Koolelo Brows
"Eyebrows are my specialty; they're rightly considered the frame of the face and therefore deserve special attention. I've been familiar with the soap brow trend on TikTok for a long time (probably even before TikTok existed); this hack is truly ingenious and works like a facelift.
Extra tip: With Koolelo's Brow Soap, I can shape even the most unruly hairs for the whole day.
Nyx Brow Mascara
"After setting your brows, it's all about highlighting them in the right shade and filling in any small holes. The vegan Nyx Brow Mascara is practical for easily thickening and styling your brows."
Waso Balm
"If your lips are chapped or cracked, even the best lipstick isn't much help. With the Waso Balm, your lips receive an instant boost of care, so I can start with the actual lip makeup right afterward. I also use this 90 percent natural balm for myself in everyday life."
Estée Lauder Pure Color Lipsticks
"Whether for a photoshoot or a wedding, Estée Lauder's Pure Color Creme Lipsticks are ideal thanks to their long-lasting wear. Even after several hours, the color stays where it belongs, and moisturizing ingredients make them very comfortable to wear.
Extra tip: The shade Rose Tea is a color that suits everyone!
