It girl Lori Harvey is giving us the deets behind her classic beauty look. Every time we see the model, she appears to be effortlessly chic, from her style to her makeup and hair. It's no secret that her skin is flawless, and she keeps a strict skincare routine using her line SKN by LH. In her video with Allure, she uses her line's peptide eye complex and her niacinamide cream. "This just really helps give me like the perfect base, and it keeps my skin nice and hydrated. And it keeps my makeup in place all day," she said.
She also shared a beauty tip that her mom, Marjorie Harvey, gave her. "Stop using makeup wipes," she said. "She loves for me to use, like, well, I get it from her; she uses this like petroleum-based makeup remover, but it's like a cleanser as well. So it's almost like you're kind of double cleansing, but it's just so much better for your skin because, like, those makeup wipes are really harsh. And I really want to look like her when I'm her age. So I listened to whatever she says." Like they say, mother knows best.
Here's how Lori achieves a '90s soft glam.
Lori Harvey's Beauty Routine
Skn by LH Niacinamide Cream
When it comes to putting cream on your face, Lori says you should always go in an upward motion. "You got to always go upwards with the motions because we don't want to drag our faces down. We want to keep everything nice and tight," she said.
Pat McGrath Sublime Perfection Skin Fetish Foundation
"It is so good. I love it because it's nice and glowy. It has a good coverage, but it's not too too heavy," she said.
Westman Contour Stick
Next, Lori uses Westman Contour Stick to help contour her face. "We're gonna go in with this Westman contour stick, which is also so pretty," she said. "I love them because they're all about clean makeup, and this, I love the way it blends into my skin."
NARS Concealer
Lori uses two NARS concealers: one light and one dark. "So I like to wet my beauty blender with like warm water because I feel like that just really helps to melt the product into my face because I like to have a really natural, smooth looking face. And then we just kind of melt everything in together," she explained.
"So yeah, that little bit of concealer right there really just like adds to the snatch and then having the concealer kind of like right on the outer corners and then blending up appendages lifts it up."
Merit Blush Balm
"Here's where it gets fun. So I like to mix two cream blushes, which these are the Merit Blush Balms, which I love these because they feel so smooth and soft going on," she said.
Huda Beauty Setting Powder
Next, the Skn by LH founder puts on setting powder from Huda Beauty. "This has become a new favorite of mine. It's not too thick," she explained. "So it sets your makeup, and it keeps it in place, but it's not gonna like have you looking cakey or powdery, which I like."
Fenty Beauty Bronzers
Lori revealed that she likes to mix two of the Fenty Beauty Bronzer shades to get her desired look.
Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze
When it comes to her brows, less is more. "My eyebrows are really thick. So sometimes, I don't really like to fill them in too much," she said. After using Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze, she wrapped up her brows with her Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz pencil.
Pat McGrath Eyeshadow
Lori admitted that she's not "that professional" when it comes to her eye makeup, so she uses a simple bronze eyeshadow palate. She also took the darker bronze color and applied it on her lash line.
Urban Decay Naked Illuminating Powder
She explained that she uses an angle brush and puts the powder on the sides of her face for a "nice, warm bronzy glow."
Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara
"It is my favorite mascara. I've been using it for years. I've tried a million different mascaras, and I always come back to this one," she shared. "This is another one of my old faithfuls. I feel like it just goes on my lashes the best, and I love it because it doesn't like clump my lashes up, which I feel like a lot of mascaras do."
MADE Lip Liner and Lip Gloss
For her lips, Lori applies MADE 's lip liner, matte gloss, and, lastly, regular lip gloss for shine.
Tom Ford Highlighter
"This is another one of my favorites. I use this one every day if I'm doing my own makeup," she said.
Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Setting Spray and Anastasia's Beverly Hills Dewy Set
Lori ends her beauty routine with two setting sprays. She uses Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Setting Spray and blends it in with her beauty blender. Then, Anastasia's Beverly Hills Dewy Set setting spray.

Celebrate International Women's Day With Wellness, Empowerment & More
International Women’s Day, celebrated on Saturday, March 8th, presents an excellent opportunity to honor and celebrate women. As March marks Women’s History Month, there are numerous chances throughout the month to pay tribute to the remarkable contributions of women.
Both International Women's Day and Women's History Month serve as reminders of the progress made toward gender equality and the work still left to do.
They inspire ongoing advocacy for women's rights, fostering discussions on issues such as workplace discrimination, healthcare access, and representation in leadership. By celebrating women's contributions and amplifying their voices, these observances help pave the way for a more inclusive and equitable future.
Here are four ways to celebrate International Women's Day and Women's History Month.
Attend a Women History Month Event
This month, there are numerous events happening, particularly for International Women’s Day. One such event is organized by Media Girls Network, which will be held over a multi-day period starting on Thursday. The entire event is dedicated to celebrating women.
On Friday, the organization will honor prominent women in business and entertainment, including the OMG Girlz, celebrity restauranteur Gocha Hawkins, and more.
On Saturday, guests can indulge in a day of wellness and self-care, featuring a fitness class, massages, a journaling workshop, and other activities. For more information about these events, visit www.mediagirlsontour.com.

Reports indicate that women constitute 39.1% of business owners, and this percentage is steadily rising. In light of this, let’s celebrate and support women-owned businesses this month.
Here are a few ways to do so: shop at their establishments, leave positive reviews, follow and engage with them on social media, collaborate with them, or contribute to their crowdfunding efforts.
Support Women's Rights Groups

Since President Trump took office, we’ve witnessed an unprecedented number of rights being reversed, including DEI programs. Women have been particularly concerned about his decision regarding abortion and reproductive rights. Recently, he dismissed the Idaho Emergency Abortion case, which was a legal battle to ensure Idahoans had access to emergency abortion care.
Writing in her Substack blog, Abortion, Everyday, journalist and abortion rights advocate, Jessica Valenti, said, “By dropping this case, the Trump administration is sending a clear message that anti-abortion states don’t have to adhere to [the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act] by giving pregnant patients life-saving care.”
Instead of waiting on Trump's next move regarding women's rights, support women's rights organizations and charities like In Our Own Voice Action Fund and Planned Parenthood.
Empower Others

Use your voice to raise awareness about the challenges women encounter. This can be achieved through social media platforms or by speaking at local rallies and events. By leading by example, you can inspire others to get involved and contribute to the support.
