“I love a red carpet red lipstick,” Ta says. “If you’re running to an event, there’s nothing that will bring a look together faster.” The season’s best formulas are created with dry lips in mind; Ta’s trusted staple, Giorgio Armani’s Rouge Ecstasy Lipcolor, is packed with soothing shea butter that hydrates and lasts all night long.

Keep a mini mist on hand to refresh makeup at any time during the day. Ta’s favorite is Tatcha’s Luminous Dewy Skin Mist: “Only two spritzes are needed to totally revive makeup,” he says. The liquid is formulated with botanical oils that “seal layers of makeup together.”

Long, flirty lashes give any look, day or night, that final bit of polish. “I’m obsessed with Gucci’s mascara right now,” Ta says. “It combs out every single lash and brings depth where there is none.”
