While that sounds like a lot of work, here we break it down for you, highlighting certain steps, so that you can get her look — signature winged eyeliner and all.
Culpo's beauty routine aims for a natural glow
Olivia Culpo's radiant skin is all thanks to a comprehensive skin care routine. After all, your makeup will look its best if you have healthy skin. In a tell-all beauty routine video for Vogue, Culpo revealed that she takes daily vitamins to keep her skin glowing. Zitsticka's Skin Discipline capsules are her go-to. The beauty queen then goes to wash her face with Sunday Riley Ceramic Slip Cleanser. There are a couple of products that she only uses a couple of times a week, including Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta Extra Strength Daily Peel for deep pore exfoliation. Culpo is a fan of several serums including hyaluronic acid. She finishes her skin routine by applying Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen.
Culpo starts her makeup prep by applying MAC's Strobe Cream mixed with a few drops of Radiance-Plus Golden Glow Booster to add a little shine and tan. She then applies concealer on her problem areas and just a little bit of foundation. After fixing her brows and contouring her cheeks, Culpo creates her perfectly winged eyeliner. "I always put my eyeliner in the outer sixth of the eye, I don't start from the inner corner. I always want to achieve a lifted, open eye," she told Vogue. Then, lipstick, highlighter, setting spray, and you're ready to go.
