Spearmint Supplements! Creamy Serums! All the products a beloved haircare creator adores for achieving shiny skin and hair.
(Image credit: T3; Ulta; Dermstore; Emi Jay; Amazon; Rhode) The Lineup is a monthly feature that gives you an exclusive look into the beauty collections of top experts and trendsetters in the industry. Prepare for a behind-the-scenes look at the essential products that keep their lives and careers thriving. I can recognize an Emi Jay hair clip from a distance. This beauty and accessories brand has become iconic among haircare enthusiasts and is often spotted on various styling inspirations, including Hailey Bieber, Laufey, and Harry Styles. Remember when he showed up at the 2022 Venice Film Festival with a Super Bloom Clip attached to his luggage? I reiterate: I can identify an Emi Jay item from a mile—or 4000—away.
"I've always had a passion for hair products, particularly those I used to shop for with my mom and grandma at Korean markets," Julianne Goldmark, founder and chief brand officer of the trendy line, shares with me. "There was something magical about those places: vibrant aisles of colorful brushes, unique clips, and tools that felt both useful and beautiful." Seventeen years after launching the brand (starting at just 14 years old), that inspiration still plays a crucial role in the Emi Jay essence. "[They're] straightforward, practical essentials that enhance your routine without making it complicated or cumbersome," she adds.

Naturally, I had to ask Goldmark what category she plans to elevate next. "I believe there's still a lot of room for improvement in everyday styling products, particularly dry shampoo and other styling formulas," she replies. "Many of them tend to be overly complex or not tailored to how people actually go about their day." On the topic of accessory trends, Goldmark mentions hair scarves are trending. "They feel effortlessly chic and are such an easy way to elevate an outfit, especially during warm weather," she points out. Is anyone else hoping for an Emi Jay version soon?
After learning about Goldmark's beauty routine, it's clear that she focuses on both design and practicality in every aspect of her life. It's not just her favorite haircare items that have a refined look; she also enjoys de-puffing eye patches that serve as cute accessories, sensorially pleasing Korean foundation, and sleek hot tools that deserve to be showcased. "Even the simplest products can make the process of getting ready a bit more exciting," she explains. Below, explore each item from her stylish lineup.

Aura Hair + Body Mist in Lychee Baby
"Our latest hair and body fragrance! It's like a vacation in a bottle. I spray it every morning on my way to work and at night before heading to dinner with friends.
