When we heard Jay Manuel was in town promoting his raved-about makeup line, available on The Shopping Channel, we couldn’t wait to catch up with him. After 18 seasons of America’s Next Top Model, Jay Manuel shed his role as coach to model hopefuls and started focusing more on his own vision for what women’s beauty should look like. Using what he had learned from every runway and red carpet look he had ever done, Jay sought out to create his own line of beauty products. His makeup line, Jay Manuel Beauty, is all about giving you makeup artist results without actually needing one.
As you can imagine we were dying to see and test out all the makeup goodies he had in his (ahem, Givenchy) bag. From his amazing array of brushes and multi-tasking mascaras to his must have sunglasses and heavyweight charger, the makeup guru’s bag was enviably organized (and filled with snacks!).

“[What] I wear on-air is my Skin Perfector Foundation which has micronized silk in it so it has the skin blurring technique [and] the luxe powder. I just need mascara and bronzer, that’s all I keep with me.
This is just a brush roll because when I’m on air, I demo. We have our own custom, branded brushes – which we do sell. I always have my own brush roll with me so I know that they’re there.
This [mascara] actually hydrates and protects your lashes. Most women, when they do a thin coat for day and then going out in the evening they can’t really [reapply] that mascara because it’s crunchy and dry; that won’t happen with this.
Both my gel eyeliner and the black mascara come from a product that I found in Morocco. It’s true black. Even when I was working with the labs they said ‘this is just so deep’ and the same thing came up when I was working on my eyeshadows. I really wanted the pay off to be like the way it looks on the palette.”

“I keep wipes because [after] an interview I want to go and take the makeup off. I use these because they just don’t irritate at all as opposed to regular wipes.
Protein bars, always. I just always need something to eat.
[My blots are] Shiseido because I’m super oily.”
Vitamin D, almonds [and] don’t laugh – in a Ziploc bag. It’s a snack because I’m always on the run. To me a handful of almonds or a protein bar just kind of keeps me from crashing.”

“My glasses, obviously. Everyone knows I always wear my [Oliver Peoples] aviators.”

“Like all my chargers. I just hate seeing loose chargers in a bag. It also helps me change bags easily, because I know it sounds bougie, there are bigger things in the world, [but] I don’t carry the same bag every day. Although, up in Toronto I only have one bag with me. But it just allows you to quickly change your bag.
Headset, wallet, oh most important, this juice pack. You know [how] everyone has those little sticks and they hardly charge? What everyone doesn’t realize is that Mophie does one that is meant to charge an iPad so it’s 2.1 amps. So the difference with this is the charge will hold for 30 days and you can get 8 full iPhone 6+ charges out of this before you have to recharge it. And it charges the same speed as an outlet, so you can get a full charge in an hour. This is essential.”

“[The bag] is Givenchy. I really like this when I’m on the go especially today, going to the Shopping Channel, running around on and off the plane. You can just throw it anywhere, it never looks wrecked. I have a huge bag collection but this is one of those ones you don’t have to worry about. It just always looks clean.”
