"Few things excite me more than peering into a makeup artist's kit.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nSo when Kristofer Buckle, who regularly works with Mariah Carey, Sharon Stone, and Christina Aguilera, offered to let me rifle through his stuff, I jumped at the chance. Here, some highlights:\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  \u00A0\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n  [Diorshow Black Out Waterproof Mascara.](http://origin.www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/2010/dior-diorshow-backstage-mascara) \\\"It's easy to get the roots of the lashes without poking yourself in the eye. And it stays on forever,\\\" he says.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n \\n\\n\\n\\n__MAC Paint Pot.__ Not to be morbid, but Kristofer says that \\\"You could die wearing MAC Paint Pot pigment, and two years later, there would still be remnants of the product on your lids.\\\" Ew. On a lighter note, he used \\\"every shade of bronze and gold\\\" for Mariah Carey's video \\\"I'll Be Lovin' You Long Time,\\\" because it stood up to the humidity and swimming scenes on the Hawaiian set.\u00A0\\n\\n\\n\\n[Laura Mercier Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer.](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/2010/laura-mercier-tinted-moisturizer) \\\"It's just as lightweight as the original Tinted Moisturizer, but has particles that reflect light.\\\" So basically, it's amazing for people who loathe full-on foundation, but still want coverage.\\n\\n\\n\\n__Sonia Kashuk Barely There Loose Powder.__ When an airline lost Kristofer's luggage before an important gig, he had to build a new makeup kit from the only store in town: Target. \\\"I picked up this $8 powder and it was just as good as Laura Mercier's Loose Powder in Translucent: Both have zero pigment, don't add unwanted texture, and set makeup beautifully.\\\" Good to know, eh?\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n \\n\\n\\n\\n[Dior Cr\u00E8me Apricot.](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/skin/2010/dior-creme-abricot-nail-cream) \\\"It's a cuticle cream, but I use it on lips because it has a sheer apricot color,\\\" he says. \\\"I use it on Jennifer [Lopez] and Christina [Aguilera].\\\"\\n\\n\\n\\nThanks, Kristofer!\\n\\n\\n\\nStay tuned for more peeks into our favorite artists' makeup bags..."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
