The Lineup is a monthly series where we're giving you an inside peek at the beauty lineups of cool fashion people, editors, makeup artists, hairstylists, and estheticians—all the people we trust the most. Get ready for a behind-the-scenes look at all the can't-live-without products that make their worlds go 'round.
The first thing I noticed (and immediately appreciated) about master injector and skin specialist Anush Movsesian was her blunt honesty. She cuts to the quick, has an amazing understanding of facial aesthetics and anatomy, and will never *ever* inject or recommend a treatment if she doesn't think a client truly needs it. (In an industry where injectables are often overzealously pushed just to make an extra dollar, this is extremely refreshing.)
"My patients come to me and become loyal, returning customers because I will never inject or provide a service just to make the money," Movsesian confirms. "If I feel a patient does not need what they initially came to see me for, I have no problem telling them no altogether or recommending another treatment that I think would better enhance their anatomy."
As someone who has seen Movsesian twice now—once for Botox and once for lip filler—I can say she's truly one of the best practitioners I've met. In addition to being a "perfectionist" when it comes to results (she went above and beyond during my filler appointment, recommending we dissolve some previous filler so I'd have better, more symmetrical results), she's a self-proclaimed product hoarder, especially when it comes to skincare.
"It's called a skincare routine for a reason. You have to remain consistent in order to see the results you want and keep your skin healthy," Movsesian tells me. "I have always prioritized this as time for myself in the morning and evening, and I genuinely look forward to it. We can always find a million excuses to skip something, but being regimented and choosing to enjoy the process is key. Being a little selfish and putting time aside for yourself is necessary and important!"
Below, Movsesian is sharing her curated lineup of beauty products she can't live without, including the skincare staples she loves and is always recommending to her clients. Keep scrolling!
"I have become quite the collector and connoisseur of fragrances, and I love anything vanilla. Fun fact: I can almost always guess which fragrance my patients are wearing when they walk in the room."
"This perfume is so affordable and smells amazing. I have a few in my personal stash at all times."
"My favorite body lotion ever."
"My favorite body oil. I like to layer this on top of the Epicuren body lotion."
"I think the fragrance of a room is incredibly important, and this one really uplifts my mood and helps set the tone for my morning and nighttime skincare routines. I found out about it from an interview I read with Demi Moore."
"I have been incorporating the double-cleansing method into my nighttime skincare routine for as long as I can remember, and this cleansing oil is the perfect two-in-one that goes from oil to a milk cleanser when activated with water."
"I love this daytime moisturizer and recommend it to my patients. It's deeply hydrating without leaving a heavy film."
"This is a wonderful daytime eye cream that has a brightening effect."
"Retinol should also be used *correctly* around the eyes at night. This helps with cell turnover and improves fine lines and wrinkles."
"This is another product that I use every morning and recommend to all of my patients. This vitamin C serum acts as an antioxidant that shields the skin from daily pollutants and environmental stress. Over time, usage will also improve overall skin brightness."
"This blush is a staple in my makeup bag. The beautiful pigment and even application are consistent every time."
"This facial cleanser is amazing for normal skin. It has key exfoliating acids (rather than physical beads that can be harmful and damaging) that help exfoliate the skin."
"I have been using this hair cream for over 20 years and have remained loyal! I apply it after a blow-dry to smooth the ends of my hair and give it lots of shine."
"This combination of foundation (above) and concealer (below) is full coverage, but when used correctly, you will get a really beautiful velvet finish. I apply a thin layer of both before blending and make sure I am wearing a good primer."
"I run a small amount of this argan oil throughout the ends of my hair when it is damp. I also love using this after a blow-dry on dry hair."
"A little goes a long way!"
"Lengthens and volumizes lashes without creating flaky clumps or 'spider lashes.'"
"I love this highlight palette because I can use the bottom darker shades when I have a tan and the top light shades during the winter months. The application is flawless—it literally looks like your skin."
