My Must-Have: L’Occitane Immortelle Divine Cream ($108)

“My most important morning step is moisturizing. I love how this cream is somehow rich yet light at the same time. It deeply hydrates without leaving me feeling overly greasy. I apply a thin layer to prep my face before I put my makeup on. If I’m feeling extra dry, I’ll use a little more to give my skin a much-needed boost of hydration.”

My Must-Have: IT Cosmetics Brow Power ($24)

“Everyone always says they won’t leave the house without mascara, but for me, I won’t step outside without filling in my brows. My go-to is IT Cosmetics Brow Power—it’s easy to use, the shade works for everyone and it stays put. I have one at home, one in my makeup bag and one at my desk.”

My Must-Have: Origins No Puffery Cooling Roll-On ($26)

“This cooling roller ball from Origins has become a bedside staple for me. I apply it under my eyes every morning and its cooling feeling instantly wakes me up while the formula brightens my dark circles. It’s a win-win before I even step out of bed.”

My Must-Have: Benefit Cosmetics BADgal Lash Mascara ($19)

“Mascara! My lashes are really blond, so if I don’t put mascara on in the morning I feel (and look) half asleep when I get to work. This formula gives me long, dark lashes that make me feel wide awake and ready to start my day.”
