Courtney Khondabi’s Top 5 Beauty Must-Haves

ByDiana

If you’ve ever tuned into QVC and wondered how Courtney Khondabi maintains that flawless, camera-ready look through hours of live television and humid studio lights, you aren’t alone. Transitioning from the fast-paced newsroom to the “theme park” scale of QVC, Courtney has mastered the art of finding products that truly perform. Today, we’re diving into her personal makeup bag to reveal the five essential items she swears by to keep her hair voluminous and her skin glowing.

1. Calista Smoothie Brush

Courtney knows that great style starts with the right tools. For hair that looks full but feels healthy, this is her holy grail.

“I love tease so I can really build my hair without tangling,” Courtney shares. “It bends and flexes, so I love this for a good little scalp massage. I can’t go without these.”

2. Laura Mercier Rose Setting Powder

To combat the harsh studio lights and long production days, Courtney relies on this cult-favorite tinted powder.

“This makes my top 5. If you have not gotten it, you need to. I love the rose because it just brightens my skin. My makeup stays in humidity and stays on long days.”

3. Tarte Park Avenue Princess Bronzer

Whether she’s contouring for the camera or adding a sun-kissed glow, this Tarte classic is her go-to for multi-tasking.

“This bronzer is the best. It’s actually for your body and your face, but I just love it for my face. It blends beautifully. I put it on my forehead, my cheeks… I chisel my jaw with it. And yes, you can also put it on your body!”

  • Pro Tip: Use a large fluffy brush for the body and a smaller angled brush to “chisel” the face as Courtney does.

4. Tarte Shape Tape Concealer

Long before her QVC days, Courtney was a fan of this industry-standard concealer—and for good reason.

“I have loved this concealer since I was a reporter. It covers dark circles. It can be used as foundation as much as it is concealer. It has a creaseless, smooth, beautiful finish.”

  • Coverage: Known for its full-coverage yet blendable formula, it’s a staple for anyone looking to hide tired eyes.

5. Philosophy Purity Cleansing Cloths

At the end of a long day (or a messy makeup application), Courtney keeps things simple and hydrated with these oversized cloths.

“Finally—I am messy, so I always use my purity cleansing cloths. I can mess up a little mascara here, a little eyeliner there, and then after I’m done, I like to clean my hands and my nails as well. My skin is left feeling moisturized because it’s purity.”
