First Things First

  1. First up, eye cream. Nothing sets the tone better than an eye brightener. Our current favorite is Furtuna Skin's Visione Di Luce Eye Revitalizing Cream. It brightens, moisturizers, and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. How can you not love it?

  2. Next is getting in a daily dose of Vitamin C. It works towards brightening and evening out your skin tone, making it an ideal step to add to your daily routine. We love everything from Dr. Barbara Sturm and The Good C - Vitamin C Serum is an SN essential.

  3. Add a little hydration. Agustinus Bader's The Rich Cream has been creating all the buzz for a good reason. This fast-absorbing formula contains natural amino acids, high-grade vitamins, leaving your skin even and smooth.

  4. Finish it off with a little sunless tan. Tan-Luxe makes tanning as effortless as can be. Just drop the Face Illuminating Self Tan Drops into your favorite moisturizer or serum and you'll be sunkissed and glowing in no time. 

Beauty School Drop Out

  1. We're all about that effortless no-makeup, makeup look. To achieve this look, you'll first need the perfect base. Ilia's Super Serum Skin Tint SPF40 is a tried and true SN favorite. It's light as can be and results in a natural, flawless complexion. Not to mention the added SPF40 is there to shield your face from the sun. Haven't you heard? Sunscreen is the new tan! 

  2. Add a little glow. Westman Atelier's Highlighter is the key to a natural, dewy look. Throw in your tote and go, it's perfect for on-the-go touch-ups! 

  3. Lengthen and lift—a good mascara is hard to come by. Lune + Aster's Formidable Lengthening Mascara lengthens and adds instant dimension. Your eyelashes will never look better. 

  4. Top it off with a little gloss. Go bold! After all, it is Galentine's Day. You can't go wrong with a pop of red and this lip gloss breaks all the rules. The Hourglass Unreal High Shine Volumizing Lip Gloss will leave your lips full, plump, and shiny, the best combo.

The Finishing Touch

  1. Sometimes you need that extra step. Hayo'u's Jade Beauty Restorer is a facial massage tool for working on those areas that need a little more attention than usual. Use it to wind down in the evening or before your morning skincare routine to depuff.

  2. Wanting to switch up your makeup routine but don't know how? Meet the Artis Next Generation Elite Mirror Oval 6 Brush. This brush not only looks great on your vanity but is the perfect tool for applying everything from eyeshadow to foundation or concealer. You'll never use another brush again!

  3. Something extra. An elevated Jennifer Behr Headband is the perfect way to add a girly pop to your Galentine's Day look. Make a statement in the best way with lustrous velvet accented with a row of imitation pearls.

  4. Complete your Galentine's Day look with a sweet scent. Better than a bouquet— Diptyque's Eau Rose Eau de Toilette perfume puts pink rose petals in a bottle— just in time for Valentine's Day!
