There are some women who have mastered the art of achieving it all, and Lori Harvey is definitely one of those people. She has the career, she has the guy (which we're still digesting), a loving family that has positioned her in a place to where she is blessed to live an amazing life, and...bomb ass skin; flawless even.
That's what that good, healthy D—I mean, a relationship—will do to you, girl!
Anyway, Lori took to social media to show off how her glow in the best way. Captioned, "Fresh face. Skin is thriving," her Instagram went up with everyone admiring her skin just as she's done. And although we don't have an official skincare routine from her (call us anytime, sis to spill the tea), she did disclose to W Magazine some of her favorite products back in 2017. When asked what her medicine cabinet is stocked with, she answered:
"Mila Moursi Cleasing Foam, Kiehl's Epidermal Re-Texturizing Micro-Dermabrasion, Mila Moursi pH Balancing Toner, Charlotte Tilbury Magic Eye Rescue Cream for night time use, and Mila Moursi Triple Action Eye Contour Cream in the morning. Then, Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream Moisturizer, Mario Badescu Seaweed Night Cream, and Mario Badescu Rosewater Facial Spray."
Whew.

She also credited good skin to "a great moisturizer"—her fave being Charlotte Tilbury's Magic Cream. As for her best advice from a dermatologist?
"Don't pop your pimples. And always cleanse and moisturize your neck and décolleté, not just your face."
*writes notes*
And listen, Im not the only one taking notes, as Pat McGrath recruited her to star in the makeup artist's #InTheMirror series to celebrate the launch of Mothership IV: Decadence Eye Palette and MatteTrace lipstick shades. She told Vogue:
"When she wanted to work together, it was such a dream come true because she's always been one of my biggest beauty icons."
And although her social media is full of pics with a fresh, light look, she knows a lot about the beauty and makeup industry—from products, to Sephora endorsements.
Thankfully, there have been talks that we won't have to wait much longer for tips, as she has allegedly raised the capital to release her own beauty and skincare brand. If so, you already know we'll be ordering.
But in the meantime, um, Lori—we need you to drop the skincare routine, sis!

Skylar sees things differently. At the time, she was shooting content on her iPhone. Temi came into the picture with a new perspective, an understanding of tech, and, eventually, a camera. “He doesn't give himself enough credit,” Skylar says. “He wasn't just my tripod. He wasn't just standing behind the camera and going ‘click.’ He was giving advice. He was giving me insight to how I could look at things from a different perspective. And I was like, 'Oh, he’s an artist.' I think it was maybe a heartbeat of that kind of energy of like, ‘Baby, can you take this picture?’ And it turned so quickly into, we're partners. We can work together in a way where we're advancing each other's creative thinking.”
The pair often says they’re two sides of the same coin. Skylar is an Aquarius. She attended art school, paints, and loves poetry. She’s more than happy to let the couple’s management firm and agency, Kensington Grey, handle their admin work. And, she loves to sleep in. Temi, on the other hand, wakes up early. He’s a Virgo. He loves a to-do list and regularly checks in on the couple’s brand partnerships spreadsheet to make sure everything is on track.
Because his storytelling was steeped in his love of technology, he didn’t always think of himself as a creative person. “Where I [am] the dreamer who wants to pluck things out of the sky and spend all day with my head in the clouds, Temi [is] so good at grounding me and helping me figure out how to make things make sense on paper. We just work together in such a complimentary way,” Skylar says.
It’s been more than six years since Brooklyn-based couple Temi and Skylar started dating, and nearly four since they cemented their working relationship. On TikTok and Instagram, the couple’s travel, fashion, and home content regularly rack up hundreds of thousands of views. They’ve worked with brands such as Coach, Aesop, Away, and Liquid IV, bringing their vibrant perspectives to every campaign they execute. Still, nearly two years since both Temi and Skylar committed to full-time content creation and creative directing, the couple says their romantic connection remains their priority.
“We told each other we would much rather go back to full-time jobs and preserve our relationship than to be full-time freelancers, barely getting a night's rest [and] barely kissing each other because we're so busy shooting,” Skylar says.
Working from home can make it hard to separate work from personal life for any entrepreneur. It can be even more challenging when your business partner is also your lover. Temi and Skylar had already used couples therapy as a tool to help them effectively communicate with one another. When they ran into challenges while working together, their therapist helped them set physical boundaries to help combat the issues.
"We told each other we would much rather go back to full-time jobs and preserve our relationship than to be full-time freelancers, barely getting a night's rest [and] barely kissing each other because we're so busy shooting."
“It actually took us doing very specific physical things to create boundaries between work and play in our relationship,” Skylar says. “So, for instance, we will only have conversations about work when we're out of bed or we're at the table or in the office. Initially, when we started, we had to light a candle to say that, 'Okay, this is a space where we're connecting, we’re not talking about work.' We needed really hard boundaries at the top. And then it became a little bit more organic.”
The boundaries have been crucial to implement, especially because the couple began working together so naturally. When the pair first met, Skylar was NY-based a social strategist for BuzzFeed and was using content creation to drive business to her lingerie company. She was shooting her own content. Temi was working for Microsoft in D.C. He’d recently traded in his DJing equipment for a camera. “I've always loved taking pictures,” he says. “Even when I was a kid, my African mother would wake me up at 3:00 a.m. [during a] party, and be like, 'Come take the family picture.'”
Growing up, Temi says he watched his parents support each other and be the true definition of partners. He knew he wanted the same for his own relationship. But, the couple also wanted to make sure they were being financially responsible. The pair didn’t quit their traditional jobs until they’d saved up two years' worth of their cost of living. And, Temi received his Master of Business Administration from New York University with the knowledge that it could either help him advance in his corporate career or be applicable to his business with Skylar.
Temi and SkylarCj Hart @hartbreakToday, they say their working relationship is more of a “quiet dance.” They still implement some of the boundaries they learned in therapy, but they also lean into their natural strengths and deep love for one another. When we speak, Temi has planned a date for the couple to see Princess Mononoke in 4K IMAX and added it to their Notion so they can factor it into their busy schedules. “I fully plan to date for the rest of my life,” he says.
Skylar says the couple doesn’t just wait for date nights to check in with one another, though. This often happens in the mornings, after Temi has made her peppermint tea and poured himself a cup of coffee. When they ask each other how they slept, she says, it’s not just a “nicety.” It’s a genuine question meant to foster connection.
“A lot of it happens during the day in the midst of work. We'll stop and we'll hug. Or we’ll slow dance in the kitchen,” she says. “Sometimes it's hard to set a whole date night when you have 7,000 things going on. So, we must grasp these moments and check in when we can. And I think it's become so organic to us that I actually didn't even realize how often we do it. But all day long, we're like, 'Are you good? I felt like your energy shifted,' because we're best friends, we just know. We just feel it happen.”
