We love it when celebrities share their beauty secrets. This time, it’s Hailey Baldwin who shared her routine for getting a sun-kissed look without leaving the house in a fun and lively video for Vogue. The model relies on seven products that make this beauty secret an almost $600 investment. In addition to her go-to products, you’ll find some other excellent options at affordable prices, so you can recreate this beauty look, too. Natural-looking bronzed skin, here we come!
What you need to know
Before starting, remember to wash your face. In addition, the supermodel relies heavily on applying products with her hands (instead of using brushes), with the exception of powder products.
Prepare your skin
In the video, the star, also known as “Mrs. Bieber,” starts her bronzing routine by applying a few drops of Dr. Barbara Sturm Glow Drops ($145), which help her revitalize tired skin and restore its natural glow.
As promised, we’d also like to share some more affordable options, such as The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin 2% + HA ($9).
Apply concealer
Once her skin is ready, the next step is to apply concealer just under her eyes and in areas where her skin tends to get irritated during allergy season: the T-zone and the contour of her cheeks.
For this step, she relies on the Tom Ford Concealing Pen ($55), and we know exactly why. This product is designed to camouflage redness on the skin.
When applying it, she gives us a wise bit of advice: “I was always told to tap your concealer, don’t rub it.” Now, if you’re looking for an option with a similar effect, you can try the Radiant Creamy Concealer by Nars ($30).
Sunkissed glowing skin
It’s time for the bronzing step, and for this, Hailey uses Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate ($88), which she really makes the most of. Just like a makeup artist, she applies the dark part with a brush outlining her cheekbones, her jawline and her hairline.
She then also uses it as an eye shadow on her upper eyelids. As far as the light-colored part of this palette, she uses her fingers to illuminate and profile her nose with light taps and finishes off by applying it above her lips.
A more affordable option, which even includes two additional shades, is the Illuminate Palette from the Sephora Collection ($29).
A dash of color
The next step is to apply blush. A pink-colored Giorgio Armani Fluid Sheer ($62) is the model’s choice, and she applies it with her fingers across her nose and cheeks, giving her a truly natural-looking, healthy glow. “I think when you’re doing a sun-kissed glowy type of thing, when you bring it across your nose, it kind of makes it look like you actually got caught in the sun.”
Now, the low-cost alternative that we suggest to get this effect is the Shany Cosmetics HD Liquid Blush, $9.
Time for powder
For this step, the celeb once again turns to Giorgio Armani, specifically the Luminous Silk Compact ($64). The interesting part? The model applies her powder after she applies blush and highlighter. “I just do it right in the areas where I get a little oily”... that way, she achieves a matte finish.
For this step, she relies on a brush from Sephora. Another alternative is the L'Oréal Infallible Powder ($9).
‘A glow for the gods’
For that “glow for the gods,” Hailey doesn’t hesitate to apply the Laura Mercier Face Illuminator ($45) to her cheeks and nose. You can also use Pro Light Fusion Highlighter from Make Up For Ever ($39).
A finishing touch
One of the last and most important steps is to protect your skin from the sun. “You have to take care of your skin!” So, she applies the SPF 45 Setting Powder from Supergoop ($30). To protect your skin, you can try the Sun Protection Mineral Powder SPF 30 by DERMA-E ($17).
And never forget...
Last but not least, never forget your eyebrows, eyelashes and lips. As far as eyebrows, she said: “I usually just brush them, because I don’t like my eyebrows to look too done.” For this, she uses the Estée Lauder Brow Now Brow Defining Pencil ($25).
She also confessed that, “If I had to choose two things to take to a desert island, it would for sure be lip balm and mascara. I’d die without lip balm.” So, for her eyelashes, she uses MAC Extended Play ($19) and for her lips, Sisley Paris Phyto-Lip Twist ($50).
With very natural-looking lips, we wrap up this celebrity’s step-by-step guide for sun-kissed skin without setting a foot on the beach. The key is to know the right products to use and how to apply them. Luckily, now you have all the details! Ready to try this at home?
