How To Replicate Hailee Steinfeld's Makeup Routine

"Dickinson" actress, "Starving" singer, and all-around cool girl Hailee Steinfeld is everything we love in a celeb — big personality included. As she told Collider, "I'm a very emotional person and it's hard for me... to mask that or act like that doesn't exist. That's human behavior." That same realness has led to Hailee Steinfeld's huge fanbase, including a whopping 14 million Instagram followers, who flock to her page for behind-the-scenes shots, family selfies, and her fresh attitude.

Nominated for an Oscar at just 14 for her supporting role in "True Grit" (via IMDb), she eventually crossed over to becoming a double-platinum-selling singer in her late teens and early 20s (via Republic Records). With super-catchy songs like "Love Myself" and unforgettable roles in movies like "Edge of Seventeen," is there anything Steinfeld can't do?

While she is an amazing dancer to boot, making her a true triple threat (via iHeart Radio), we're adding one more role to Steinfeld's impressively long resume: skincare and makeup maven. Her recent Beauty Secrets video with Vogue showed how talented she is at building the perfect morning routine — and consider us stunned. Throughout the video, the singer-actress takes fans through her step-by-step "guide to glowing skin and easy everyday makeup," and let's just say it delivers

Besides the video's treasure trove of insider tricks and organic brands for a fresh-faced daily look, we rounded up a few other Steinfeld-approved tips that she's shared over the years. Here's everything you need to know to replicate Hailee Steinfeld's makeup routine.

Skincare comes first — always

As you can probably guess from Hailee Steinfeld's poreless, dewy complexion, she pays close attention to her skincare regimen. But it's not always about the most expensive brands with tons of actives. "I feel like my skin is psychotically sensitive — so my beauty routine consists of very few products and products with natural ingredients," she told Women's Health

Her end-all, desert-island, fave product of all time? It's none other than the KORA Organics Noni Glow Sleeping Mask, which she says is "a super lightweight gel mask that leaves skin super glowy and smooth." A true convert, she had never been able to wear a mask for more than "four minutes" without serious skin mayhem — until this one. "I tried this and it's actually my favorite thing in the world," she said. Consider us intrigued! Applying it after a gentle cleanse in her Vogue video, she revealed, "This has gotten me more compliments about my skin over FaceTime than anything I've ever used."

After washing off a "generous amount" of the mask, it's time for a pore-tightening toner. Steinfeld's fave? The aptly named Dickinson's Original Witch Hazel Pore Perfecting 100% Natural Toner, which she applies all over with a cotton pad. Next, go for some major dewy moisture. For Steinfeld, that means the La Mer Crème de la Mer. "This is my favorite moisturizer," she says. "I find that my foundation sits really well over it."

Hailee Steinfeld believes in beauty from the inside-out

If La Mer's iconic moisturizer is just a bit too pricey for your budget (ranging from $190 to $350), then go for a less expensive Hailee Steinfeld pick. She told Women's Health that she adores the Frankies Bikinis Glow Moisturizer, costing $40. "There are very few products I come across that I love what they do to my skin without makeup," the actress said. "This is something I can use as the perfect base for makeup or something I can wear alone with just a little mascara [and] a little lipstick."

And, for optimal glowiness, you can't forget hydration: Steinfeld can be seen drinking from a time-marked water bottle like this one in her Vogue tutorial. She even told Bustle, "It's crazy when I go a couple days not drinking as much water as I normally do. I especially start to see it on my skin." 

Another super important step in her beauty routine? SPF, of course. She told Vogue, "I don't leave the house without it. I have one in my bag at all times." And it all goes back to her mom's advice: "I'd say the number one beauty tip that I've gotten from my mom is sunscreen... She's always told me since day one." While she relies on her favorite EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46, the über-talented 24-year-old says that "working out and staying physically active" has also helped clear her skin while boosting her physical and mental health.

Hailee Steinfeld loves natural glam

Although Hailee Steinfeld's skincare routine is pretty solid, she says that her "skin has been a journey," with some mishaps. Still, she told Vogue, "I've always been really obsessed with taking care of my skin." Of course, it creates the perfect base for her makeup routine, which is just as good.

Steinfeld is admittedly "obsessed" with the Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Foundation, applying it all over her face with a Beautyblender. She also loves applying lip balm before going any further, letting it sink in while she does the rest of her routine. Even though Steinfeld's beauty look involves quite a few steps, the "Dickinson" actress likes to keep it low-key: "Less is more... I feel like when I try to pull off a full-glam look it just doesn't happen."

Next is the cult-fave NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer, which she applies under her eyes and nose. Contour is kept "light," "fresh," and "glowy" using the ah-mazing Tom Ford Skin Illuminating Powder Duo. Steinfeld applies the bronzer under her cheekbones, at the jawline, and around her forehead to create dimension. Once that's done, it's time for the super-dewy Kosas Color & Light Palette, with cream blush and highlighter, which Steinfeld loves keeping in her bag for her cheeks, eyelids, and lips. The actress applies it on the apples of her cheeks as she smiles, blending it with a sponge, and tapping it on her lids as eyeshadow, too.

The star's glowy essentials

As a lover of all things glowy, it should come as no surprise that Hailee Steinfeld adores highlighter. "I love a good highlight — liquid highlight, especially," she told Bustle. "I've really fallen in love with it. I love how natural it looks." She shows off her best tips in her Vogue video, swiping on the "incredible," "super-natural, glowy" Patrick Ta Major Glow Balm on her cheekbones, cupid's bow, nose, brow bone, and shoulders.

After "feeling nice and glowy," the actress also places major importance on her brows. She told Vogue that she never leaves the house without her Beautyblender The Player 3-Way Brow Brush, which she uses to simply brush and fluff them up.

Next up is lips, and Steinfeld definitely keeps this part as down-to-earth as possible. After applying a balm, the actress swipes on her absolute favorite neutral MAC Lip Pencil, preferring it over classic lipstick, and follows it up with the Victoria Beckham Beauty Bitten Lip Tint. Another way to keep the lips super-natural? Steinfeld told Women's Health that she adores the Patrick Ta Monochrome Moment Precision Lip Crayon. "The lip liner I use is She's Strong and She's Independent," she said. "I love them for their names, for their color, and for what they do to my face."

Topping off her look, the actress curls her lashes and applies the Armani Beauty Eyes To Kill Classico Mascara, which she says "does wonders." As Steinfeld explains, "makeup can be natural and accentuate your beauty." We love to see it!
