Cheryl Cole, Eva Longoria Parker and Angelina Jolie always look prefect thanks to the talents of their make up artist. But what are the products the professionals rely on to keep the stars looking flawless? Professional make up artist Donna Marie Griffey revealed the secrets of her kit to Female First........

"I frequently get asked this question," Donna told us, "The answer is, there isn't any one best brand. I choose different brands that range in cost,but I choose certain products because of the job they do, not because of how much they are. Paying more is not necessarily better."
