Just ahead, associate manager of special projects Talia Gutierrez embraces her natural beauty. Over the years, I've found self-acceptance for the lion's mane of hair I was blessed with—and the right products with which to style it. Think lightweight [leave-in conditioners](, exfoliating [scalp serums](, and time-reducing [hot tools]( that all make styling my hair, natural or blown out, that much easier on me and my schedule. Speaking of time, I'm not a morning person; I like to keep my beauty routine quick, easy, and efficient with maximum results. Given my sensitive skin that can easily turn red and irritated, I look for [drugstore steals]( that can treat my hormonal breakouts overnight, and still find me glowing with a [dewy SPF]( come morning. After a quick three-step skin-care routine, I do a flick of a brow pen, a blot of liquid lipstick, and a whole lotta [cream blush]( and liquid bronzer for that post-vacation glow and am out the door.     When you buy something through our retail links, we may earn an affiliate commission. [Body by TPH Revitalizing Vanilla Body Scrub]( The squeezable tube makes it easy to dispense the thick formula, while the chemical and physical exfoliants are gentle enough not to irritate my sensitive skin. [SHOP NOW]( [Live Tinted Hueguard Skin Tint SPF 50]( This is as close as it gets to wearing "foundation" for me. It's lightweight and covers any discoloration or redness without layers and layers of product. [SHOP NOW]( [GHD Max Styler Wide Plate Flat Iron]( Nothing competes with the 2-inch hot plates that stay consistently hot at 365°F for the duration of my hairstyling ordeal. [SHOP NOW]( [Crown Affair The Scrunchie No. 002]( This scrunchie is durable enough for the thick ponytail I wrap it around, and the silky texture means no dents or tangles when I pull my hair back to wash my face or take a shower. [SHOP NOW](     [Nécessaire The Body Wash Hinoki]( I've gone through three bottles of this stuff and I still want more. It's the combination of suds, light cedar scent, gentle exfoliation, and the chic, twist-up bottle that brings my shower experience up a level to something I look forward to every night. [SHOP NOW]( [Saie Glow Sculpt Multi-Use Cream Highlighting Blush]( Glow Sculpt isn't your typical highlighter, and thank gosh. No sparkly fall out or chalky white cast, but instead, an illuminating tint of color (my go-to shade is Mauveglow) that emphasizes my cheekbones for a glowy, fresh-faced complexion. [SHOP NOW](   [Reader Question] Can you recommend a lipstick that lasts all day? — asks anonymous Allure reader When longevity is the goal, liquid lipsticks and lip stains are your best bet. If you're looking for opaque color, liquid-to-matte formulas from brands like [Anastasia Beverly Hills]( and [Maybelline New York]( are beloved among Allure editors for their rich pigments and staunch refusal to budge or fade. If you prefer something more sheer, lip stains like [Dior's Lip Addict Lip Tint]( and [Peripera's Ink Velvet Lip Tint]( deliver a softer—but buildable!—color payoff that still puts up a formidable fight against meals, sweat, and whatever the day throws at you. — the Allure Beauty Editors Have a question for Talia?
