Jenna Lyons Doesn't Leave the House Without Using These 6 Affordable Products
If you've ever wanted to know how fashion icon and brand founder Jenna Lyons starts her day or, you know, the exact beauty products she applies on her way out of the door, you're in luck. In the first-ever installment of its new On My Way series, our sister makeup brand Merit has treated us to an intimate look into Lyons's quick, easy, and affordable beauty routine.
Of course, within her routine, you'll spot a handful of lash-enhancing staples from her own relatively new brand called LoveSeen, but Lyons is also sharing her top picks from Merit, including the brand's beloved Minimalist Complexion Stick ($38), Blending Brush ($30), Flush Balm Cheek Color ($28), Shade Slick Tinted Lip Oil ($24), and Clean Lash Mascara ($26).
Even better, both Merit and LoveSeen are offering exclusive kits featuring Lyons's fave grouping of products (see above for Merit's and below for LoveSeen's), and if you're quick on the draw and spend over $50 on Merit's website, you might even score LoveSeen's Iris Lash Set and lash glue for free, as the brand will be sending the pair as a special gift for the next 200 orders.
"Look at that thing, it's so cute!" Lyons says. We couldn't agree more, and this handy, mini-sized balm is the most low-maintenance way to give your cheeks a blush of color with zero mess. Lyons's pro tip? Apply a dot to the bridge of your nose, too, and then go in with the No. 1 Blending Brush again to buff everything in.
Last but not least, mascara. Lyons likes to add a quick and easy coat since it gives the delicate and natural look of LoveSeen's lashes an extra hit of oomph and believability.
