"With Colton, I used a few different products depending on where we were in the world, meaning different climates, and what his skin needed at that time," said Modica. "We always start out with skin care, especially the way we travel — it's very easy for your skin to take a bad turn. Luckily we didn't have to deal with that; Colton was so good at keeping up the routine — I only had to remind him a few times."
In terms of skin products she used throughout the show, Modica reached for a go-to brand of hers: Glycelene. "I haven't found anything better for what I need and I have tried everything. It worked really well for he really loved the products," she said. A favorite? The Glycelene Beauty Serum ($125).

Glycelene The Rejuvenation Creme
In addition to the Beauty Serum, Modica also gave Underwood the Glycelene The Rejuvenation Creme ($95), Opalescent Eye Serum ($85), The Beauty Ointment ($75), Stem-C Mist ($70), and Luxury Facial Cleanser ($70).
Dermalogica Solar Defense Booster SPF 50
Add that in with the daily use of Dermalogica's Solar Defense Booster SPF 50 ($55) and you've got a whopping $575-worth skincare routine.
Temptu Pro Perfect Canvas Airpod Foundation
"Men definitely wear make up for TV," Modica said. "I probably work on as many men — sometimes even more — than I do on women depending on the [Bachelor franchise]. I don't use a lot though, especially if they have good skin like Colton. When "it's necessary to cover something up," she reaches for the Temptu Pro Perfect Canvas Airpod Foundation ($48).
Giorgio Armani Beauty Maestro Fusion Makeup SPF 15
Other times, "I even out the complexion with a custom tinted moisturizer," she said, adding that one-part of that typically includes the Giorgio Armani Beauty Maestro Fusion Makeup SPF 15 ($64). "I prefer just to enhance their skin, conceal under their eyes, and fill-in whatever needs to be adjusted. The only difference is if they have a beard or any kind of stubble. I'd use a brush or the side of a sponge to go through his beard to make sure that the foundation is blended through the hairline."
Make Up For Ever Full Cover Concealer
To conceal any dark circles under Underwood's eyes, Modina used the Make Up For Ever Full Cover Concealer ($34) throughout the show.
Cover FX Perfect Setting Powder Mini
To zap any shine you get from the camera lighting — especially during long nights of filming, like during the rose ceremonies — Modica used the Cover FX Perfect Setting Powder Mini ($14).
