Lori Harvey Just Dropped Her Beauty Routine
It girl Lori Harvey is giving us the deets behind her classic beauty look. Every time we see the model, she appears to be effortlessly chic, from her style to her makeup and hair. It's no secret that her skin is flawless, and she keeps a strict skincare routine using her line SKN by LH. In her video with Allure, she uses her line's peptide eye complex and her niacinamide cream. "This just really helps give me like the perfect base, and it keeps my skin nice and hydrated. And it keeps my makeup in place all day," she said.
She also shared a beauty tip that her mom, Marjorie Harvey, gave her. "Stop using makeup wipes," she said. "She loves for me to use, like, well, I get it from her; she uses this like petroleum-based makeup remover, but it's like a cleanser as well. So it's almost like you're kind of double cleansing, but it's just so much better for your skin because, like, those makeup wipes are really harsh. And I really want to look like her when I'm her age. So I listened to whatever she says." Like they say, mother knows best.
Here's how Lori achieves a '90s soft glam.
Lori Harvey's Beauty Routine
Skn by LH Niacinamide Cream
When it comes to putting cream on your face, Lori says you should always go in an upward motion. "You got to always go upwards with the motions because we don't want to drag our faces down. We want to keep everything nice and tight," she said.
Pat McGrath Sublime Perfection Skin Fetish Foundation
"It is so good. I love it because it's nice and glowy. It has a good coverage, but it's not too too heavy," she said.
Westman Contour Stick
Next, Lori uses Westman Contour Stick to help contour her face. "We're gonna go in with this Westman contour stick, which is also so pretty," she said. "I love them because they're all about clean makeup, and this, I love the way it blends into my skin."
NARS Concealer
Lori uses two NARS concealers: one light and one dark. "So I like to wet my beauty blender with like warm water because I feel like that just really helps to melt the product into my face because I like to have a really natural, smooth looking face. And then we just kind of melt everything in together," she explained.
"So yeah, that little bit of concealer right there really just like adds to the snatch and then having the concealer kind of like right on the outer corners and then blending up appendages lifts it up."
Merit Blush Balm
"Here's where it gets fun. So I like to mix two cream blushes, which these are the Merit Blush Balms, which I love these because they feel so smooth and soft going on," she said.
Huda Beauty Setting Powder
Next, the Skn by LH founder puts on setting powder from Huda Beauty. "This has become a new favorite of mine. It's not too thick," she explained. "So it sets your makeup, and it keeps it in place, but it's not gonna like have you looking cakey or powdery, which I like."
Fenty Beauty Bronzers
Lori revealed that she likes to mix two of the Fenty Beauty Bronzer shades to get her desired look.
Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze
When it comes to her brows, less is more. "My eyebrows are really thick. So sometimes, I don't really like to fill them in too much," she said. After using Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze, she wrapped up her brows with her Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz pencil.
Pat McGrath Eyeshadow
Lori admitted that she's not "that professional" when it comes to her eye makeup, so she uses a simple bronze eyeshadow palate. She also took the darker bronze color and applied it on her lash line.
Urban Decay Naked Illuminating Powder
She explained that she uses an angle brush and puts the powder on the sides of her face for a "nice, warm bronzy glow."
Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara
"It is my favorite mascara. I've been using it for years. I've tried a million different mascaras, and I always come back to this one," she shared. "This is another one of my old faithfuls. I feel like it just goes on my lashes the best, and I love it because it doesn't like clump my lashes up, which I feel like a lot of mascaras do."
MADE Lip Liner and Lip Gloss
For her lips, Lori applies MADE 's lip liner, matte gloss, and, lastly, regular lip gloss for shine.
Tom Ford Highlighter
"This is another one of my favorites. I use this one every day if I'm doing my own makeup," she said.
Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Setting Spray and Anastasia's Beverly Hills Dewy Set
Lori ends her beauty routine with two setting sprays. She uses Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Setting Spray and blends it in with her beauty blender. Then, Anastasia's Beverly Hills Dewy Set setting spray.

UnPrisonedhas returned for its highly anticipated second season, delving deeper into the complex dynamics of the Alexander family.
The series premiere comes a year after its debut season garnered rave reviews from fans and critics and earned record-breaking ratings for Hulu's Onyx Collective brand. UnPrisoned's success can be attributed to its raw, relatable themes and comedic appeal.
Inspired by creator Tracy McMillan's life, the show follows Paige (Kerry Washington), a therapist and single mother whose life takes an unexpected turn when her father, Edwin (Delroy Lindo) --who was released from prison-- moves in with her and her teenage son, Finn (Faly Rakotohavana).
Throughout UnPrisoned's first season, viewers witnessed how Edwin's incarceration deeply affected Paige's life and relationships. In the series, Paige unpacks her trauma through interactions with her inner child and her online followers. Meanwhile, Edwin is overcoming specific struggles with his own past that led to his life of crime, including a dysfunctional upbringing and his mother's arrest. As the Alexanders attempt to reconcile, new challenges arise.
This new season promises to further explore their unconventional family dynamic. Here are several compelling reasons why season two of UnPrisoned should be on everyone's watchlist.
The Alexander Family Life Is Still In Shambles
UnPrisoned's second season resumes where the series left off, with Paige grappling with the fallout from her troubled therapy practice and Edwin navigating life independently after moving out. Meanwhile, Finn faces his own challenges. The teenager is battling anxiety and seeking information about his father—a topic Paige avoids discussing.
The Alexander Family Are Attending Therapy To Resolve Their Underlying Issues
Amid the chaos in their lives, the Alexander family decides to mend their bond by confronting their past traumas. They seek professional help and attend therapy sessions with a “family radical healing coach,” played by John Stamos, a new cast member. This collective effort aims to unravel the complexities of their shared history and strengthen their relationships.
The process of unraveling each character's internal conflicts and their potential impact on future relationships may clash with Paige's textbook therapy approach. While Paige is used to being in the therapist's seat in both career and family, this forces her into the unfamiliar role of a patient during therapy sessions. This shift would compel her to look in the mirror and try a radically different approach.
The Alexander Family Learned A Big Lesson During A Therapy Session
In therapy, the Alexanders are tasked with addressing their individual traumas to salvage their remaining relationships. One of the family therapist’s eccentric suggestions was an exercise involving a family wrestling match. During this session, Paige faces tough questions about her refusal to share information about Finn's father.
While it's unclear whether this scene is reality or fantasy, the image of the family duking it out in the ring certainly makes for hilarious yet compelling television.
Paige Tries Dating Again Following Failed Relationships
Amid her life's chaos, Paige decides to step back into the dating field. However, her many attempts have left her with mixed results. The dating apps have turned out to be a fail, and an outing with her ex Mal (Marque Richardson), who is also her father's parole officer, doesn’t go quite as expected after he brings an unexpected guest – his new girlfriend.
The situation takes an awkward turn when Mal's new partner learns why the former couple split, partly due to Paige's self-sabotage.
UnPrisoned Is A Perfect Balance Of Comedy And Drama
As a dramedy, UnPrisoned takes a comedic approach to its heavy subjects. The show takes us on a ride with Paige's dating misadventures and navigating a friendship with her ex.
Other lighthearted moments include Edwin's attempts at CPR based on online videos and, of course, the antics of the Alexander family's unconventional new healing coach.
The second season of UnPrisoned is now available on Hulu.

'Love Island USA' Star JaNa Craig On The Reality Of Black Women On Dating Shows
Love Island USA just wrapped up its sixth season, and it has been the talk of the town. According to Nielsen, it's the No. 1 show on streaming, proving it's just as entertaining as the UK version. One of the reasons this season has been successful is due to the authentic relationships formed between the islanders in the villa.
You have the sisterhood between Serena Page, JaNa Craig, and Leah Kateb, aka PPG, and the real relationship moments between couples like Serena Page and Kordell Beckham, who were named the winners of this season. The other finalists include Leah Kateb and Miguel Harichi, Nicole Jacky and Kendall Washington, and JaNa Craig and Kenny Rodriguez.
While JaNa made it to the finale with her boo Kenny, her journey in the villa was far from perfect. Viewers saw the Las Vegas native get her heart stomped on a few times after many of her connections didn't work out.
At one point, it even looked like she was getting kicked off the island. While she had a lot of support from people watching the show, it was clear that she was in a position that many Black women on reality dating shows find themselves in: not being desired.
It has been an ongoing conversation among Black women watching reality dating shows as we see time and time again that non-Black women or racially ambiguous-looking women are often chosen over Black women, especially dark-skinned women. In a discussion with Shadow and Act, JaNa opened up about the support she received from viewers.
@cineaxries i love them 🤧 #janacraig #janaandkenny #loveislandusa #foryou #peacock #loveisland #janaloveisland #xybca #kennyloveisland #janaedit #loveislandedit #janaedits #loveislandusaedit #viral #loveislandusaseason6 #foryoupage #peacocktv
"You know what’s so crazy? I’m so grateful, because when I got my phone, the way they’re making us The Princess and The Frog…I felt honored. I will be that beautiful chocolate queen if I need to be. And the comments like 'beautiful chocolate girl,' I’m like, all Black women are beautiful. There’s the whole light skin versus dark skin, which breaks my heart. I just really don’t understand that, but I will take pride and represent us well," she said.
She also candidly discussed her experience as a dark-skinned Black woman on the show. JaNa and Serena had been in the villa since the first episode, and they were the only dark-skinned Black women there. As new men aka bombshells came into the villa, they found themselves not being wanted by many of them.
"Me and Serena literally had a heart-to-heart before Kenny came in and she’s like, I just don’t think it’s fair that the Black girls don’t get enough fair chance.' Every islander that came in, we were not their top pick. And we just [thought], maybe because we’re Black girls, and the dark-skinned Black girls. It sucked," she said.
"I’m like, 'Serena, we know what we bring to the table. We’re great personalities. A guy’s going to come in for us.' That’s when we manifested what we wanted, and that’s when I manifested Kenny."
@ashleyvera__ We love to see it 🥰 #loveislandusa #loveisland #loveisland2024 #janaandkenny #loveislandseason6 #peacock #realitytv #fypage
After many failed connections, Kenny came in and immediately turned JaNa's experience around. America watched the model get the care and attention that she deserved.
"I’m not going to hold you. When I was in the bottom for a quick second, I’m like, ‘There’s no way America doesn’t [ride for us]. I know Black America had to ride for me, but maybe because I’m a dark-skinned … hmm … maybe … you feel me? And you saw the Casa Amor lineup. Beautiful, beautiful light-skinned [women]," she said.
"We looked at each other like, 'Damn, Love Island did their big one with this. And every single Casa Amor girl was like, 'You girls are gorgeous, you guys are stunning.' They expressed love. You guys are beautiful and it felt good."
Although she and Kenny came in third place, JaNa is happy that she got her man in the end. "I think the thing I’m most grateful about is the fact that this is a beautiful love story like you guys complement each other and there’s no hate toward the skin color. It’s all love and support. I love that more than anything," she said.
"That’s why I was like, 'I won,' even though I didn’t win. And the fact that Serena won, we were like, 'Yeah, run that.' Either way, we won. And I love the support from all communities."
