Hilary Duff is making a major comeback — not that she ever really left. As a mom of two with a brand-new 3-carat diamond sitting on her ring finger, the Disney channel alum looks the exact same as she did when she broke onto the scene in 2002 with butterfly clips in her hair. Since then, we’ve been eager to glean all the details of her Cali-girl look — from her sunlit blonde hair to her skin routine.
While her La Mer moisturizer might set you back $310, her go-to makeup artist Denise Madrigal tells us that her makeup routine is a lot more attainable. From Tarte concealer to Urban Decay bronzer, Madrigal walks us through the seven beauty products she always uses on the seemingly ageless Younger actress, ahead.

Duff’s glow comes from an effective skin-care routine, followed by this handy stick foundation. "I start by blending the Make Up For Ever stick foundation over her prepped skin — but very lightly — because it is a medium to full-coverage formula," says Madrigal. I apply it with a BeautyBlender because it buffs the color and makes her skin look almost airbrushed."
Urban Decay Ultra HD Invisible Cover Stick Foundation, $43, available at Sephora
"Hilary had a few flare ups on her face when she was pregnant, but nothing major," Madrigal says of Duff’s most recent pregnancy with her daughter, Banks. "In those cases, I just layered a little more concealer where I needed to — I’m obsessed with Tarte’s Creaseless formula."
Tarte Creaseless Undereye Concealer, $26, available at Ulta Beauty
To fake a sun-kissed glow while she’s splitting time between L.A. and Brooklyn, Duff relies on a warm, matte bronzer. Madrigal tells us the best one she’s found is Urban Decay Beached. "I always use this one because it looks so good on Hilary’s skin tone," she says.
Urban Decay Beached Bronzer, $30, available at Sephora
"As far as blush goes, I love using Tarte on Hilary," Madrigal tells us, admitting that she stocks multiple mini compacts in her kit. "Honestly all the shades looks good on her — sometimes we mix it up."
Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush, $29, available at Sephora
"I always powder the T-Zone with Laura Mercier setting powder, but not too much on Hilary," says Madrigal. "After a few hours of wearing makeup, her skin gets a little dewy — and she’s obsessed with that look, so we never over-powder."
Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder, $39, available at Sephora
"I love Anastasia brow powder," says Madrigal. "And I always go in with Glossier Boy Brow just to keep her hairs in place."
Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Powder Duo, $23, available at Sephora
Madrigal tells us that Duff likes to draw attention to her blue eyes using both lash extensions and glitter eyeshadow. "One of our favorite makeups looks, mine and Hilary’s, was for her baby shower for Banks," explains Madrigal. "It was this really sparkly pink eyeshadow moment and I used the Stila liquid sparkle in the shade Kitten — she loved it."
Stila Glitter & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow, $24, available at Sephora
