The Chef Bae-Approved Makeup Routine That *Actually* Stays On

Through sweat, flights, and 12-hour kitchen days, these are my fool-proof products I return to time and time again...you can thank me later.

If you cook for celebrities... you kind of have to look like one too. Or, at least fake it really well while sprinting through LAX on 2 hours of sleep and half a matcha.

This is my no-gatekeeping, no-time-for-touchups makeup lineup. It's clean, it works, and it holds up through everything from private flights to pantry organizing to full-blown dinner party chaos. Because while I may be elbow-deep in sweet potato mash, I still need to look like I’ve got it all together—on camera, on call, and on deadline.

Every product below is in my actual makeup bag (not just for show), and I dropped in discount codes wherever I could—because looking glam shouldn’t require A-list rates. Whether you’re into glowy skin, a bold lip, or just want something that won’t melt off... this list is for you!

Let’s get into it.
