The $8 Face Oil Kendall Jenner Uses to Prep Her Skin for French-Girl Makeup
ICYMI, Kendall Jenner was featured in Vogue's Beauty Secrets series for a fourth time. As the name implies, the series offers an in-depth look at some of our favorite celebs' skincare and makeup routines. We weren't sure what to expect since Jenner has been featured in it three times before. Is it possible that we already knew all of her beauty secrets? As it turns out, the answer to that question is a firm and resounding no.
In the video, Jenner shared her current skincare-and-makeup routine—but not just any skincare-and-makeup routine. She dished on every product she uses to prep for and create a "spring French-girl" look. That's almost exactly the vibe we're going for this spring, so we took notes. Below, check out every skincare product she swears by, including an $8 face oil and an anti-acne face wash. Then, shop some of her French-girl makeup selects.
Kendall Jenner's Favorite "French-Girl" Skincare Products
The first skincare product Jenner reaches for is this $8 100% pure virgin coconut oil. She applies it all over her skin to help her gua sha tool glide without pulling or tugging. "Right when I wake up in the morning before I do anything, this is what I do," she says. "I love it because it's thick, and the gua sha just slides. The reason I do it before I wash my face is because I'm using a lot of heavy oils. To make sure all the oils come off of my face, I cleanse after."
After the oil, Jenner spritzes this rose water over her face to ensure a "nice glide" before she finally picks up the gua sha. Trust us when we say this smells incredible (fresh and floral) and hydrates the skin in a snap.
We're not sure which gua sha Jenner uses, but this is a safe bet. The stainless steel is nonporous, so it's antibacterial and won't spread blemish-causing bacteria around the skin. It's also self-cooling. Although, Jenner chills hers for extra de-puffing effects.
Once Jenner uses the gua sha to help her "lymphatic system situation," she moves on to cleanser. This is the exact one she uses, and she applies it to dry skin before adding water to create a lather. The gentle, non-irritating formulation contains glycolic acid to keep the skin smooth and bright. "I'm super, super anal about washing my face because I'm acne-prone," she says. "I've had acne my whole childhood and some of my adult life, so I'm super on top of my routine."
Next comes lipcare. Jenner uses this moisturizing lip butter from her sister Kylie Jenner's brand. "I swear it's not because [Kylie's] my sister," she laughs. "It is so silky and smooth and really does its thing."
When it comes time for moisturizer, Jenner reaches for this iconic (and expensive) formula from La Mer. It uses the brand's proprietary fermented Miracle Broth to plump, smooth, and renew the skin. Discussing her skincare journey, Jenner says, "I feel like I'm in a good place now. I get hormonal acne—sometimes I'll get little breakouts when I'm around my period and stuff like that."
Jenner's favorite sunscreen is this oil-free and non-pore-clogging formula from Elta MD. "I love this. I've been using it for years," she says. "Sunscreen is super important. I always try and keep my face out of the sun. I'm really big on hats and stuff these days, especially as I'm getting older."
The last step is "a little face spray to refresh." Jenner reaches for this iconic French face mist for an extra boost of hydration and a dewy glow.
Some of Kendall Jenner's Favorite "French-Girl" Makeup Products
Jenner is a L'Oréal ambassador, so it's no surprise she uses this concealer.
The first bronzer Jenner uses is this one from Charlotte Tilbury. "I like this one for my nose contour and eyes and just kind of, again, the natural glowiness."
Here's the neutral eye shadow palette Jenner counts on.
"This is one of my favorite [mascaras]," Jenner says. "I'm obsessed."
For the "final touch," Jenner applies red lipstick. "I'm seeing this trend of kind of this undone red lip—kind of like French-girl vibes," she says. After applying it straight from the tube, she blends it out with her fingers for a smudged look. "I'm into this no-liner, smudged-out red-lip moment. I saw this on TikTok, and… success."
