What I Do: Allison Moorer's Stage-Ready Beauty Routine

"I always make sure I start with a clean, moisturized face. My favorite moisturizer is C.O. Bigelow Incredibly Moisturizing Face Cream Restorative Formula — it helps keep the lights from drying out my skin."

"Then I apply Benefit's Ooh La Lift under my eyes to get rid of any nasty puffiness. I love this product — the best de-puffer I've ever used."

$22, Sephora

"My foundation is Laura Mercier's Oil Free Foundation in Vanilla Beige, which I apply with a damp wedge makeup sponge."

"I then apply Laura Mercier's Secret Concealer in #1 in the corners of my eyes and under if I need it, and to any blotchy-ness or red spots. I apply it with Laura Mercier's Secret Camouflage brush."

"Then comes brows — if I am in a traditional dressing room situation with good lighting, I take that opportunity to pluck any strays (I keep Tweezerman slanted tip tweezers in my makeup kit). I then pencil in my brows with Laura Mercier's Eye Brow Pencil in Fair Blonde and brush with a clean mascara brush (pick these up in any beauty supply store)."

"Then I set everything with Laura Mercier's Mineral Finishing Powder in #1. I use a powder puff to press the powder into my t-zone, then use a powder brush to brush away excess and to cover the rest of my face."

"Then comes the all important blush! My current favorite is MAC's Powder Blush in Notable — I apply this with a fan brush (I find I get more control with this than with a traditional blush brush). I follow this with Stila's Illuminating Finishing Powder in Rose Gold, which I apply with the same fan brush to my cheek bones, forehead, nose, and chin for a glow."

"I like to play with my eye makeup a lot. But, I try to keep it simple with just one color shadow, a pencil and mascara. My current favorite shadow is MAC's Private Viewing, which is a pretty brownish purple, I then apply YSL's Long-Lasting Eye Pencil in #6 (shimmering burgundy) and smudge it with a smudge brush, which is probably my favorite brush, but the lettering happens to be worn off! My secret weapon is YSL's Touche' Eclat Radiant Touch in #1 which I apply to any shadows under my eyes."

"I curl my lashes with my Shu Uemura lash curler and apply mascara. My current favorite is YSL's Everlong Waterproof in Ever Black. I apply two coats, wait for it to dry, then give my lashes another quick curl for the ultimate in open eyes."

"For lips — I color in with Lipstick Queen's lip liner in either Pink or Natural, and follow with whatever gloss I'm using, currently Benefit's Her Glossiness in Didn't Hear it From Me, (which was a freebie from an Australian fashion magazine that I bought while touring down under and I love it!) applied with my Shu Uemura retractable lip brush."

"To finish off my look, I usually give my hair a quick brush- or comb-through with my fingers, touch it up with a curling iron, apply some dry shampoo (I like Ojon's Rub Out Dry Cleanser) then finish with L'Oréal's Elnett Hairspray."
