"Fixer Upper's Joanna Gaines is so much more than a kickass home remodeling expert and interior designer — she's actually a pretty savvy beauty gal. In a post to her blog, Magnolia, she revealed her top essential products to her curious fans.

As it turns out, she does her own makeup for the hit HGTV show. "This is actually my choice," she confessed. "I don't really love to have a team of people swarming me to touch up my blush and 'shine spots.'"

Considering Joanna (along with husband Chip) runs a bakery, bed and breakfast, magazine, and home store, and raises four children (whew!), we're impressed that she takes on that challenge! Perhaps for her own sanity, she likes to keep things simple in the beauty category. She disclosed 10 "pretty basic" but classic products that you're sure to love as much as she does."
