Dr. Jen Haley and pro makeup artist Ashley reveal the secret most people miss: it starts with your skincare—especially exfoliation.

Ashley shares her go-to techniques for seamless, natural looks, from picking the right primer to avoiding clashing product bases. They also get real about the unrealistic beauty standards set by social media and why you should ditch the magnifying mirror.

Looking ahead to 2025, Ashley says it’s all about the “clean girl” aesthetic and discovering what truly works for you.
