Top Celebrity Groomers Share Their Go-To Products

Hollywood’s leading men have been showing up and showing out on red carpets this year, and it’s all thanks to the groomers behind the glam. We talked to top celebrity groomers to get their take on the must-have products of the moment.

Ermhan Ospina

Clients: Walton Goggins, Alan Cumming

Ospina has recently discovered OLAY Super Cream With Sunscreen ($35), which he praises for doing the work of five creams at once. “It works flawlessly with all skin types and as primer before foundation. It has quickly claimed a special place in my kit.”

For color coverage, Ospina loves Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Foundation ($69). “This foundation has light-to-medium, buildable coverage and a great glowing finish. At the end, your skin looks like skin.” He also uses NARS Radiant Creamy Color Correctors ($30) as needed. Ospina’s hair toolkit features a mix of SACHAJUAN products, including Fibre Paste ($39) and Ocean Mist Texturizing Cream ($38).

Jamie Richmond

Clients: Colman Domingo, Noah Wyle, Will Poulter, Dewayne Perkins

Richmond kicks off her treatment with lymphatic drainage and a facial massage using the TheraFace Depuffing Wand ($170), which also helps improve product absorption and enhance radiance. She also begins every makeup look with Charlotte Tilbury’s Hollywood Skin Secrets Immediate Eye Revival Patches ($70). “The way they prep and hydrate the under-eye area is unmatched!” Richmond also loves to use Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder ($36) to perfect the skin before any complexion products.

Andrea Pezzillo

Clients: Justin Hartley, Jon Hamm, Aldis Hodge, Ted Danson

When it comes to skin care, Pezzillo has a few standbys, including Skinbetter Science Solo Hydrating Defense Men ($175), 111SKIN Cryo De-Puffing Eye Mask ($110 for eight) and iS Clinical Hydra-Cool Serum ($103). Pezzillo uses Wahl 5 Star Vapor Clippers ($200) and Philips OneBlade ($38) to take care of hair grooming. For hairstyling, she favors Balmain Texturizing Volume Spray ($63).

Amy Komorowski

Clients: Jacob Elordi, Adam Driver, Bradley Cooper, Adam Scott

Komorowski calls on a slew of tools to craft her celebrity clientele for red carpets and beyond. She created CIRCA 1970 Face Oil ($110) with fellow groomer Barbara Guillaume to fill a white space she saw when working with her clients. Eye masks are essentials, and she likes both Jillian Dempsey Hydrating Eye Masks ($75) and 111SKIN Eye Masks ($110 for a pack of eight), which have a variety of formulas tailored to different needs. She also uses innovative tools like the TheraFace Depuffing Wand ($170) and ZIIP Halo ($400).

In Komorowski’s hair kit, you’ll find Harklinikken Hydrating Hair Crème ($56), Bumble and bumble Surf Sea Salt Spray ($35), The Best Paste Matte Firm Hold ($28) and R+Co Badlands Dry Shampoo Paste ($34). Her go-to blowdryer is the T3 Aireluxe ($210).

Simone Kogen

Clients: Noah Schnapp, Omar Sy, Nicholas Hoult, Jonathan Bailey

“Some of my absolute staples in my kit are my Carbonnique Face and Neck Massaging Tool ($139) to lift and contour the skin, CHANEL Boy de Chanel Anti-Shine Toning Lotion ($65) to prep the face and Jaxon Lane’s Relax and Repair ($36) to moisturize and the Solawave Wand ($169),” says Kogen. For hair, her go-tos include House of Skuff Skuff Glu ($52) and Potion No 1 ($48).

Sonia Lee

Clients: Leonardo DiCaprio, Andrew Garfield, Gerard Butle, Taron Eggerton

“For skin care, I’m obsessed with Dr. Barbara Sturm, 111SKIN and La Mer. You can’t really go wrong with anything from these lines,” says Lee. She adds that Kiehl’s is another favorite, especially Lip Balm #1 ($14), as the brand is super reliable and affordable. “LUMIFY Eye Drops ($22) are also a makeup artist’s secret weapon, as they instantly brighten tired eyes.”

Lee loves anything from Koh Gen Do. The brand’s new The Powder ($106) “is something special, giving a super silky and fresh look to the skin. I call it my breath-of-fresh-air powder!” Her go-to foundation is Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Foundation ($69), either on its own or mixed with moisturizer for a more fresh, sheer glow.

Because she can’t bring every hair product with her, she sticks with what her clients ask for and absolutely love. “My most requested product is hands-down, Oribe Texturizing Spray ($52)—a total cult fave.” Lee also swears by Balmain Hair products. “They smell amazing and make the hair look healthy and effortless, without weighing it down. The Moisturizing Styling Cream ($58) and the Styling Powders ($58) have been some of my most-used.
