I requested Morgan Stewart McGraw's candid beauty insights—each transformative product that is worth purchasing.

      Welcome to Beauty's Night Out, a series focused on essential beauty discussions that are shaping the nightlife landscape. Get ready for an exclusive preview of the newest trends, behind-the-scenes tutorials, and plenty of inspiration for your going-out looks—all you need is your favorite playlist. This edition features a special night out with Morgan Stewart McGraw, who has just launched a new podcast with SiriusXM.

      Morgan Stewart McGraw could read the alphabet, and I'd still be captivated. The alum of Rich Kids of Beverly Hills, founder of Renggli, and genuine tastemaker possesses a star power that leaves you enchanted while making you feel completely at home. Speaking with McGraw on a Monday afternoon feels like catching up with a friend (a friend with fabulous recommendations for The Row bags), and although she admits she "never thought [she] would do a podcast," it's an excellent way to engage her 1.6 million followers. "I feel like I've had all these different conversations in my head for the last three years; now it's time to share them," she confidently states.

      Listening to The Morgan Stewart Show while getting ready for a night out is like having her cozied up on your couch, sharing product recommendations and hot takes. "You can expect many different sides of Morgan Stewart," McGraw tells me. There will be interviews with friends and family as special guests (I'm informed that both her husband and mom will feature in the early episodes, along with Khloé Kardashian and Tinx), as well as solo segments featuring her genuine thoughts of the day. "I have an entire episode dedicated to my pet peeves," she adds. "You'll definitely find it amusing, especially while you're getting ready with a glass of wine. I'm not going to bore you—could you imagine?"

      Honestly, I really couldn't. Even the simplest of experiences seem extravagant when expressed through McGraw's eloquently embellished words. ("I usually dislike lip gloss, but for some reason, I'm wearing it today," she jokes.) For instance, when we start our video call, she mentions she has no idea where her wallet is, which prompts a conversation about her morning routine and eventually leads to our zodiac signs. (McGraw is a Gemini, "but don’t be scared of May," she jests.)

      She has a story for every beauty essential for a night out. A contour stick isn't just a contour stick; according to McGraw, it "will change your life." She even has a secret source for a discontinued bronzer ("I have them send it to me discreetly") and, true to her role as a fashion commentator, plenty of opinions on iconic bag trends. "I've been going out with my old The Row Ascot bag. I'm over the mini Kellys. Fun colors are fine, but we've had our time," she declares. It’s either a lovingly used Ascot for her, or she simply tosses a few essentials into her pockets. "I'm a mix of type A and type B," she adds. "I've gone out with a powder brush in my back pocket." Powder brushes: the new accessories you never knew you needed.

      Her must-haves include a lip liner that she stocks up on—30 at a time—along with a gentle cleanser that's a part of her routine.

      "I'm really into lip liner," McGraw states about her on-the-go essentials. "I feel it's more important than any lip balm or lipstick. At this point, my lips have lost their color, so if the liner fades, we're in trouble." Her go-to is Make Up For Ever's Artist Color Pencil in the shade Anywhere Caffeine. "I buy like 30 at a time because it's the best lip liner ever. It’s the perfect nude," she adds.

      Another favorite pencil is Anastasia Beverly Hills's Ultra-Slim Eyebrow Pencil in Taupe. "I don’t do blonde or dark brown—it's crucial that it's taupe," she specifies. I completely agree with her on the gray-brown shade, which is ideal for those with cooler hair tones, as celebrity makeup artist Katie Jane Hughes once mentioned. By now, I’m convinced that McGraw and I share the same makeup routine since her next essential is a brown mascara—specifically Tower 28's MakeWaves Mascara, a lengthening formula I also adore (I wore it on my wedding day). "I've been curling my lashes a lot lately, which was a fear I had to overcome," McGraw jokes.

      Next on her list is the life-changing contour stick: Anastasia Beverly Hills Smooth Blur Cream Contour Stick. "I apply it on my forehead, cheekbones, the creases of my eyes to shade them, and under my chin. It's the best contour stick on the market, honestly," she gushes. She prefers the shade Shadow, which is a perfectly cool-toned camel color.

      While she doesn’t always carry it, McGraw mentions she wears
