3. Carol’s Daughter Hair Care
A pioneer of natural hair care, this brand was relatively unknown when it was first featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show in 2002, where Oprah raved about how well the products worked. Fast forward and she still includes it in every beauty roundup as her favorite hair brand.

4. Cailyn O! ‘wow’ Brush
A popular product for beauty buffs, these makeup applicators can run you a pretty penny (upwards of $70, in fact). Leave it to Oprah to find us a budget-friendly option. “These [Cailyn O!] high-quality makeup brushes are a pleasure to use. They feel good in your hands and are just what you need to blend, blend, blend,” she wrote in her favorite things roundup.
6. Lancôme ‘le Metallique’ Metallic Lip Lacquer
Although usually subtle with her makeup choices—with the notable exception of her role in A Wrinkle in Time—Oprah is known to add a pop of color to her lips. Oprah’s makeup artist Derrick Rutledge spilled her perfect pout secret: layers. He’ll start with a matte lipstick and top it with a metallic hue that adds depth to her lips.
7. Anastasia Beverly Hills Beauty Express For Brows And Eyes
Although we all know and love Anastasia now, Oprah introduced the world to her brow-making magic back in 2007 when she had a makeover live on the show. In the 11 years since, Oprah still touts Anastasia as her saving grace for all brow needs.
