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.

'Sistas' Star Skyh Black On The Power Of Hypnotherapy & Emotional Vulnerability For Men
In this insightful episode of the xoMAN podcast, host Kiara Walker talked with Sistas star Skyh Black, as he opened up about his journey of emotional growth, resilience, and self-discovery. The episode touches on emotional availability, self-worth, masculinity, and the importance of therapy in overcoming personal struggles.
Skyh Black on Emotional Availability & Love
On Emotional Availability & Vulnerability
“My wife and I wouldn't be where we are today if both of us weren't emotionally available,” he shared about his wife and Sistas co-star KJ Smith, highlighting the value of vulnerability and emotional openness in a relationship. His approach to masculinity stands in contrast to the traditional, stoic ideals. Skyh is not afraid to embrace softness as part of his emotional expression.
On Overcoming Self-Doubt & Worthiness Issues
Skyh reflected on the self-doubt and worthiness issues that he struggled with, especially early in his career. He opens up about his time in Los Angeles, living what he calls the “LA struggle story”—in a one-bedroom with three roommates—and being homeless three times over the span of 16 years. “I always had this self-sabotaging thought process,” Skyh said. “For me, I feel therapy is essential, period. I have a regular therapist and I go to a hypnotherapist.”
How Therapy Helped Him Heal From Self-Doubt
On Hypnotherapy & Empowering Self-Acceptance
Skyh’s journey is a testament to the power of tapping into self-development despite life’s struggles and being open to growth. “I had to submit to the fact that God was doing good in my life, and that I'm worthy of it. I had a worthiness issue and I did not realize that. So, that’s what the hypnotherapy did. It brought me back to the core. What is wrong so that I can fix it?”

Quinta Brunson Gets Real About Divorce, Boundaries & Becoming
Quinta Brunson is the woman who chooses herself, even when the world is watching. And in her June 30 cover story for Bustle, she gives us a rare glimpse into the soft, centered place she's navigating her life from now. From leading one of television's most beloved series in the last decade to quietly moving through life shifts, the creator of Abbott Elementary is walking through a personal evolution and doing so with intention, grace, and a firm grip on her boundaries.
Back in March, the 35-year-old filed for divorce from Kevin Jay Anik after nearly three years of marriage, citing "irreconcilable differences." The news hit the headlines of news outlets fast, but Quinta hadn't planned to announce their dissolution to the public so quickly.
Quinta Brunson On Divorce, Public Scrutiny & Sacred Boundaries
"I remember seeing people be like, ‘She announced her divorce,’" she told Bustle. “I didn’t announce anything. I think people have this idea that people in the public eye want the public to know their every move. None of us do. I promise you. No one wants [everyone] to know when you buy a house, when you move, when a major change happens in your personal life. It’s just that that’s public record information."
In regards to her private moves becoming tabloid fodder, Quinta continued, "I hated that. I hate all of it."
"I Am An Artist First": Quinta On Cutting Her Hair & Reclaiming Herself
Still, the diminutive phenom holds her crown high in the face of change and is returning to the essence of who she is, especially as an artist. "Cutting my hair reminded me that I am an artist first. I want to feel things. I want to make choices. I want to be a person, and not just stuck in having to be a certain way for business." It's giving sacred rebirth. It's giving self-liberation. It's especially giving main character energy.
And while the headlines keep spinning their narratives, the one that Quinta is focused on is her own. For her, slowing down and nourishing herself in ways that feed her is what matters. "It’s a transitional time. I think it’s true for me and my personal life, and it’s how I feel about myself, my career, and the world," Quinta shared with Bustle. “I feel very serious about focusing on watering my own gardens, taking care of myself and the people around me who I actually interact with day-to-day."
That includes indulging in simple rituals that ground her like "making myself a meal" which has become "really, really important to me."
That spirit of agency doesn't stop at the personal. In her professional world, as the creator, executive producer, and lead actress of the critically-acclaimed Abbott Elementary, Quinta understands the weight her choices carry, both on- and off-screen. She revealed to Bustle, "People used to tell me at the beginning of this that the No. 1 on the call sheet sets the tone, and the producer sets the tone — and I’m both of those roles."
She continued, "I understand now, after doing this for four years, how important it was that I set the tone that I did when we first started."
Quinta doesn't just lead, she understands the importance of curating the energy of any space she enters. Even amid a season of shifts and shedding, her power speaks loudly. Sometimes that power looks like quiet resistance. Sometimes that power is soft leadership.
And sometimes that power looks like cutting your hair and taking back your name in rooms that have forgotten you were an artist long before you were a brand.
