Meghann Fahy’s minimal beauty routine builds on these 6 iconic items
As fellow allergy sufferers, we wanted to know if she has any tips and tricks to reduce redness and puffiness. Turns out, she does. It’s a TikTok-powered tool that we use in our personal beauty routine on days when we feel more puffy or inflamed than usual. “I’m a big fan of the ice face roller,” she says. “It feels great and always helps reduce puffiness and redness!”
First is Paula’s Choice Essential Glow Moisturizing Cream ($12), is a two-in-one sunscreen and moisturizer. It provides SPF 30 along with niacinamide, resveratrol, vitamins C and E. Together, these ingredients protect skin against environmental aggressors and the damaging free radicals they produce.
At night, she uses Origins’ Super speed stain removal ($20) to treat any blemishes that may appear. Its main ingredient is dwarf palm, which helps control oil production, reduce shine and prevent breakouts.
The fourth essential and final product in Fahy’s process is the LED mask. She said that she is a big fan of red light therapy, and so do we. After all, it has been shown to reduce inflammation and stimulate the skin to produce collagen. Over time, this can reduce and prevent wrinkles from forming.
We like Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare’s DRX Spectralite Faceware Pro ($455). It has three light options: red light, blue light (which can help treat and prevent acne), and a combination of the two. The idea is that you can customize your treatment based on your skin concerns.
Her go-to product to combat allergy-related redness is an iconic one that, if we may add, also works to conceal dark circles and blemishes. “I always have YSL All Hours Concealer in my bag in case I need to cover up the redness around my nose and of course wallet-sized packs of tissues!” she speaks.
Finally, we have to know what makeup products were used to create Daphne’s signature summer look. White Lotus. According to Fahy, the vibe is “looks the same without looking like you’ve tried”, which is in line with our idea of Daphne being a bit easy.
“We kept Daphne looking radiant and natural,” says Fahy. “Koh Gen Do Moisture Foundation is a staple as well as a creamy eyeshadow.” This platform, although expensive, is an iconic product. Makeup artists and editors love it for its creamy formula, natural-looking foundation, and buildable coverage.
