In your opinion, how many years of use makes a product a holy grail? One or two? Three to five? For The Bear actress Molly Gordon, it’s closer to 15. Few products stand the test of time that takes you from tweenhood to adulthood, but the Theatre Camp star is one of the lucky few who has found a truly tried-and-true product, as Gordon revealed to Vogue that she’s been using this cleanser since middle school.
Molly Gordon’s Favorite Beauty Products and the Lip Combo Ayo Edebiri Taught Her
If you’ve seen Gordon in any of her comedic on-screen roles in films like Theatre Camp and Shiva Baby, you know she’s proficient at quick, witty banter. Gordon maintains her sense of humor even throughout her beauty routine, as The Bear actress began her routine by noting that the first thing she does is cleanse with the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser ($15) she’s been using “since middle school,” followed by a session with TheraFace PRO’s CryoTherapy Device ($400) for days when she wakes up “looking like a ghost who was murdered.”
Gordon finished our her pre-makeup skin-care routine with a spritz of Tower 28’s SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray ($28) and a few dabs of Avene’s Soothing Eye Contour Cream ($32). When it comes to makeup, Gordon opts for a combo eyeliner moment courtesy of Westman Atelier’s Eye Love You Eyeliner ($34) and Chanel’s Le Liner De Chanel ($42), and stays true to her Chanel roots with the brand’s Les Beiges Water-Fresh Tint ($70). She also gets in on the fake freckle trend, adding dots of Freck Beauty’s The Original Freckle ($28) and a dash of Benefit’s Hoola Bronzer ($36) to make “everything look a little more lived in,” she told the outlet.
While Gordon herself is a self-proclaimed “Pillow Talk ($25) girl,” mixing the popular lip liner with Aquaphor ($13) and Benefit’s BeneTint ($26), the actress’ time on Vogue‘s Beauty Secrets also let viewers in on a lip combo secret from her co-star Ayo Edebiri, who FaceTimed Gordon while she was filming to show off her “Smucker’s jelly lip,” created with a combination of Rom&nd’s Juicy Lasting Tint ($15) and Glossier’s iconic Balm Dot Com ($16).
