For Natalia Trejo, a Mexican-American digital creator and influencer, beauty is confidence. On the days she's not quite feeling her best, a little makeup goes a long way to boost her mood and liven her spirits. First, completing her morning and nightly skin-care routines is key; then, once her skin looks good, the makeup follows. "The one product my mom always swears by is blush, and I definitely took note of that," Trejo says. "Growing up, I'd watch her do her makeup, and blush always seemed to be the star of the show when it came to the application." Her mom would add it all over her face — on the apples of her cheeks, her nose, and her chin — for an overall rosy hue. Trejo says this product is her go-to for getting a healthy-looking glow.
Trejo also shares that she's undergone a beauty evolution since becoming a mom herself. Blush and highlighter remain her go-to staples, but now she loves doing more natural-looking makeup, which is sometimes all she has time for as a busy mom. She makes sure not to cover up her facial freckles — a key part of her identity — then adds a terra-cotta lip or bolder eyeliner with more neutral base makeup for a day-to-day look.
