You know what's pervy? Finding out what's in other people's makeup bags. Their OGs. Their go-tos. Their tried-and-true MVPs.

And it'sespeciallypervy if the makeup bag belongs to someone who's kind of a... big deal. Andeven moreso if they're a bit of an expert in the beauty game.

So, what if we were to tell you we got all the juicy deets from someone who's both?

Well, on a recent episode ofSpotlight,our very own Kelly McCarren did just that and (politely) raided TikTok-famous makeup artist Claire Bridgett's makeup bag.

As a beauty influencer and makeup artist with five years at Mecca under her (makeup brush) belt, you know that someone like Claire has tried some serious goodies in her time.

And guess what? She was kind enough to give us a peek. How good!

Watch: Speaking of You Beauty, check out Leigh trying the viral 'diamond lips' trend. Post continues below.

Below, Claire shares her entire routine – from base products to lips – as well as shouting out her ride-or-die brands, products and techniques.

Excited? Intrigued? Let's go!

Toners & Serums.

Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide Toner & Moisturiser, $50.

If you're a beauty gal, you'll know that skin prep iseverything, and Claire said there are a few staples she uses before she gets into her makeup look. The first? Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide Toner. She said she uses it as her first step, to make her skin hydrated and soft ahead of her base products.

L'OrealParis Revitalift Filler Hyaluronic Acid Anti Wrinkle Serum , $32.99.

Also in rotation is this affordable, hydrating goodie from L'Oréal Paris – the Revitalift Filler Hyaluronic Acid serum. "I'm a L'Oréal skincare girl," said Claire.

Swoon!

ICYMI, this exact serum also happens to be one that Kelly recommended on last week's episode of Spendy Savey (you can listen to the episode here or read all about it here). So, don't mind us while we go get our mitts on it!

La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Hyaluronic Acid Anti-Ageing Serum, $60.99.

Another one of Claire's go-to serums? The popular La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Hyaluronic Acid Anti-Ageing Serum. If you haven't tried it and you're dealing with dry, dehydrated winter skin, get your face around it. "It's so, so good," she said.

Hada Labo Lotion No.1 Super Hydrator, $35.95.

Also on the skincare front (so much hydration!) is buzzy brand Hada Labo. "I love Hada Labo, which is a Japanese skincare brand that I feel like it's coming up at the moment," Claire said. (Can confirm: It's bloody good!).

Primers.

HOURGLASS Veil Mineral Primer SPF 15, $93.

When it comes to primers, Claire has one staple that she never budges from. "Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer, from my Mecca days. It is my ride-or-die, and I have to use it every single time. It makes your makeup sweat and water-resistant, it's very long-lasting."

*Adds to cart.*

Elf Poreless Putty Primer, $17.

We're going from a spendy to a savey, here! And we love to see it. "I also love a pore-filling primer, like e.l.f Poreless Putty Primer," said Claire.

Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter, $70.

Also on the list is this cult buy from Charlotte Tilbury. "It's not technically a primer — it's more of a first step/base product, but it's my Holy Grail."

Best base product.

NARS Sheer Glow Foundation, $75.
