Hailee Steinfeld's delicate, ethereal glam captures my entire bridal inspiration, so I reached out for her favorite product recommendations.
Raise your hand if Hailee Steinfeld is the central figure of your beauty mood board. (It's clear I've raised both of mine.) The talented actress, musician, and producer is celebrated for embodying elegant, romantic glamour, whether she's seated in the front row at Paris Fashion Week or gracing our February cover (the beauty direction was a lush Pre-Raphaelite fantasy). I have at least 37 screenshots of her looks saved as bridal makeup inspiration—even before she tied the knot on the last day of May. Although we're unsure of the specific products she used for her wedding (though she did share exclusive details in her weekly newsletter, Beau Society), I asked Steinfeld for her current essentials regarding her signature soft, ethereal glam—and beauty enthusiasts, she delivered! Set the mood with some soothing music and a uplifting candle ("Right now, my favorite is the Flamingo Estate tomato candle—it's so refreshing," Steinfeld tells me), and check out the details below.
A Glowy Skincare Base
Consult any makeup artist, and they'll tell you: Adequate skin preparation does most of the work. "When it comes to that soft, glowy, ethereal glam, less is more," Steinfeld notes, praising Neutrogena's Collagen Bank Moisturizer and Vitamin C Serum for achieving a plump, even complexion. "It's truly unlike any other vitamin C I've tried," she says about the serum. "It's incredibly lightweight and not greasy, which is hard to find. … It provides an instant glow." Combining that with her SPF-infused face cream ("I never leave the house without SPF," she quips) is the "perfect pairing" for boosting her radiance.

Peachy Blush
"I feel like blush is really in right now," Steinfeld asserts. And she's correct; a bright pop of color on the cheeks definitely shouts summer. Blush blindness? Not here! "I'm always into that sun-kissed, glowy, blushy look," she admits. Her current favorite is Armani's Luminous Cheek Tint in shade 50.5, a beautiful peachy-pink. "It's incredibly lightweight. It gives you that effortless [appearance]."

A Nude Lip
Despite having a collection of lip products in her bag, I was surprised to find that Steinfeld sticks to just one (yes, one!) lip product—and it’s neither a balm nor a gloss. "I really just prefer a liner," she clarifies. "My go-to is probably Iconic Nude by Charlotte Tilbury." Occasionally, she will apply a good lip balm but usually just "blends it out with a brush or [her] finger, and lets that be the lip." Lip pencils as creamy as Charlotte Tilbury's blend effortlessly, allowing you to fill in your entire lips without feeling dry or cakey.

Soft, Fluffy Brows
Naturally, I couldn't resist asking Steinfeld about her famously fluffy, full brows. "It's funny. Since I was very young, I've always been told not to touch my brows. I've finally reached a point in my life where I'm like, 'It might be time to clean them up occasionally,'" she laughs. Still, she doesn’t do too much—usually filling in quickly with whatever eyeshadow palette she has handy—but she has a few quick fixes for touch-ups throughout the day. "I love Anastasia's Brow Freeze [Gel], and I always keep a spoolie in my bag to brush them up as needed," Steinfeld shares. "If I ever don’t have eyebrow gel, I’ll use a bit of hairspray on a spoolie. That always works." The Nexxus Comb Thru Flexible Hold Hairspray is her trusted go-to.

Fluttery, Natural Lashes
Lastly, soft-girl glam isn’t complete without equally soft, wispy lashes. While dramatic, voluminous lashes have their place, Steinfeld typically enhances her lashes with a touch of Benefit's BadGal Bang brown mascara. "I can't do colorful mascara, but that's just me," she confesses. "I find it really fun and love seeing it on others, but I'm more inclined towards brown mascara. That feels much more natural for me."
