Hilary Duff’s Busy Mom Makeup Routine: A Step-by-Step Guide

Hilary Duff is a busy mom, and as much as she loves makeup, she doesn’t have all day to spend on it. But that doesn’t mean she can’t still look put together and fabulous. In this step-by-step makeup guide, Hilary will take you through her daily routine and share some of her favorite products and tips.

Step 1: Start with Clean, Toned Skin

Hilary begins her routine by washing her hands or using hand sanitizer. She then applies Ole Henriksen’s dark spot toner to help with the melasma on her forehead. She lets it dry before applying Glycerine favorite vegan product, which is ultra-hydrating and made with oils, including lavender. Hilary likes to rub the oil for almost 10 seconds to warm it up, and then she brushes her eyebrows up to get them ready for the makeup.

Step 2: Moisturize and Wake Up Your Skin

Hilary uses a light day cream to layer over the oil to keep her skin looking dewy. She loves to use Nurse Jamie’s tool to push in the product and wake up her skin. She also uses an eye cream and applies it around her eyes and on the space between her eyebrows. Before starting her makeup, she puts in some fancy clips to keep her hair out of the way.

Step 3: Apply a Sheer Foundation

Hilary likes to use Pericone MD’s sheer foundation, which is super sheer and can be layered. She dabs it on with her fingers and blends it with a beauty blender. She works in phases and tries to avoid having foundation in her hair. She also applies it to her neck and uses the beauty blender to blend it in.

Step 4: Add a Cream Bronzer

To give her skin some warmth, Hilary uses Chanel’s cream bronzer with a beauty blender. She applies it to her cheekbones and underneath, accentuating where it caves in. She also applies it to her eyes and forehead, imagining how the sun hits her face. Hilary brushes her chin with the sponge and creates a “W” across her face to blend it in.

Step 5: Define Your Eyes

Hilary likes to use Shantakai’s cream eyeshadow, which dries in a good way. She applies it with a brush and creates a base, going a little bit above her crease and on her lid. She then uses a flat brush with the same product to create more definition on her crease.

Step 6: Finish with Concealer and Lip Gloss

Finally, Hilary uses Glossier’s concealer under her eyes and blends it with a flat brush. She also adds a little bit of lip gloss to complete the look.
