Camille Co, Angelique Manto, and Claudia Barretto share their skin, makeup, and body-care essentials.
A truly good beauty cabinet is not only built around what happens to be trending. Over time, the products that survive every seasonal switch and new launch tend to be the ones that simply perform: the foundation that behaves beautifully from morning to evening, the eyeliner trusted not to budge, or the body oil brought out whenever skin needs something extra.
Camille Co, Angelique Manto, and Claudia Barretto‘s reliable essentials span cult classics, luxury signatures, and Japanese beauty staples. The three joined Rustan’s Beauty Addict 2026: Spotlight, the retailer’s annual beauty affair, this year inspired by the glamour of Hollywood awards nights and the theatricality of the Met Gala.
Amid all that red-carpet drama, however, their personal selections offer something more useful: a glimpse at the nine products that have earned repeat appearances in their routines.
Claudia Barretto keeps her complexion polished—but luminous
Barretto’s three choices suggest that good skin is the foundation of her beauty philosophy, whether she is protecting it during the day or giving it a little extra radiance after dark.
Her daily defense is Anessa Perfect UV Sunscreen, which she favors for its lightweight feel and ability to sit comfortably beneath makeup. When the occasion calls for more glow, she reaches for Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Or, the shimmering version of the French brand’s cult multipurpose dry oil. Barretto particularly likes its luminous finish for evenings out and vacations.
Completing the trio is NARS Light Reflecting Foundation, a complexion favorite that strikes the coveted balance between coverage and convincing skin. For Barretto, its appeal lies in its natural-looking finish that still leaves the complexion polished and even.
The common denominator? Radiance without excess—the sort of beauty that looks considered without appearing overly constructed.
Camille Co counts on classics that have proved themselves
Co’s edit is perhaps the most committed to the idea of the tried and tested. Her three selections are not fleeting discoveries but products designed to work hard enough to warrant coming back to them.
Diorskin Forever Fluid Foundation has been her foundation of choice for years, thanks to its coverage and staying power. She pairs that complexion mainstay with another perennial favorite, NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer, which she uses both beneath the eyes and to disguise blemishes.
Her third pick takes the ritual beyond makeup. L’Occitane en Provence Almond Shower Oil turns an everyday shower into something decidedly more indulgent, with Co praising both its nourishing feel and signature almond scent.
It is a practical kind of luxury: products can be beautiful, but earning permanent real estate in the routine means they need to deliver, too.
Angelique Manto believes in the finishing touches
If Barretto is about luminosity and Co leans toward enduring essentials, Manto’s beauty signatures live in the details.
She considers eyeliner indispensable, with Heroine Make Smooth Liquid Eyeliner Super Keep—particularly in Bitter Brown—remaining a favorite since she first tried it. The softer shade offers definition without the severity that can sometimes come with classic black.
Then comes shine. Dior Addict Lip Maximizer is Manto’s preferred finishing touch, lending the glossy effect she considers essential to completing her makeup. To hold everything together, she bookends her routine with MAC Prep + Prime Fix+, applying the cult mist at both the beginning and end of a makeup session to help her look last throughout the day.
Together, the three form a concise lesson in impact: sometimes a defined eye, gleaming lip, and well-set base are all the embellishment a look needs.
The best beauty recommendations are personal
Beauty Addict celebrates its 14th year with Spotlight, but perhaps the most compelling takeaway from this year’s glamorous production is considerably simpler. Even women with access to seemingly endless beauty launches still develop loyalties.
Across these nine selections, there is no single formula for a well-appointed beauty cabinet. Barretto gravitates toward glow and good skin, Co toward consistency and classics, and Manto toward definition and detail. What connects them is discernment: finding what performs, knowing what suits you, and keeping it close.
The most luxurious beauty routine, after all, may not be the one with the most products. It is the one in which every product has earned its place.
