Normally, I watch Nara Smith's Instagram and TikTok videos with admiration and curiosity, but it's never with the intention of re-creating them. (I wish I was someone who had the time, energy, and talent to make homemade bubble gum, but I'm not.) However, as a beauty editor, I'm more than willing to re-create her most recent recipe—her signature soft and elegant everyday makeup look. As seen in the photo above, it involves fluttery lashes, flushed cheeks, and a glossy lip.

Smith's in-depth Instagram tutorial details every product she uses. After prepping her skin with True Botanicals Pure Radiance Oil ($120), Dexeryl Crème ($18), and Summer Fridays ShadeDrops Mineral Milk Sunscreen SPF 30 ($36), she moves on to makeup. Ahead, see every one of the 14 makeup products she uses, from an illuminating primer to a TikTok-viral glossy lip balm and beyond.
