Makeup artist Ara Fernando is known for her precise and speedy makeup application—she can finish a whole face in 15 minutes flat. We're talking the works! She is also a great makeup mentor, managing a talented glam team of hairstylists and makeup artists who are all making a name for themselves in the cutthroat industry of fashion and celebrities.

The FN team got curious with this makeup maven's essentials because whatever she's using must definitely work! We raided her vanity, and she proudly shared her top picks. We reveal them in the gallery below.
