From Gilmore Girls to Parenthood, Lauren Graham has long set the gold standard for on-screen parenting- and now we’re taking beauty notes from everyone’s favourite TV mum.
In a recent Instagram post the beloved actress share’s her go-to 5-minute makeup routine- perfect for busy errand days when you need a quick glow up.
“I’ve had just enough coffee to think that filming myself doing my makeup is a good idea,” she says in true Lorelai Gilmore fashion before running through her to-do list for the day and the products behind her everyday glam.
She starts off her routine with Merit Beauty’s Great Skin Instant Glow Serum to help prep skin before diving into the remainder of her beauty regime.
