It could easily be a nightmare being married to a man the world knows as McDreamy - Patrick Dempsey of Grey's Anatomy, duh - but so rewarding is Jillian Dempsey's own life that, well, if she were an actress, you'd say she was upstaging him. Founder of hipster makeup line Delux Beauty, the makeup artist was tapped by Avon to dream up colors and products shortly before giving birth to twin sons, Darby and Sullivan, and gussying up Kirsten Dunst for the red-carpet premiere of Marie Antoinette. No wonder her makeup bag is fit for a queen.
COLOR HIT: L'Oreal Professionnel Colorist Shampoo
"I mix this in with my everyday shampoo when my color fades. For a touch of gold on my roots, I go with Sunflower."
LOADED LOCKS: Magic Move Soft
Since this is a matte balm, it never looks greasy. It gives my fine hair texture and volume."
BATTER UP: Avon SuperFull Mascara
"The closest thing to false eyelashes. My lashes aren't full, so I layer on a rich mascara like this."

MAKEUP CALL: Avon Anew Alternative Intensive Age Treatment SPF 25 Day

FIXER-UPPER: Band-Aid Flexible Fabric Bandages

QUICK SPRITZ: Shu Uemura Depsea Water Facial Mist
"Whenever I need to revive my skin, I spray on a bit, then apply moisturizer."
