Kristen Bell’s ‘minimal’ beauty routine is just three products

When it comes to finding the best beauty products, Kristen Bell knows all the good places.

The actress recently told Today that her “minimal” routine features just three key items: Victoria Beckham Posh Balm, Merit The Minimalist Perfecting Complexion Stick and Jones Road The Brow Pencil.

“I find then I just don’t look sleepy [when I’m wearing those],” she said. “I’m not really trying to walk around with a full face of makeup. I just would like to look like I’m not still asleep.”

The Merit stick is made to serve as both concealer and foundation, making it ideal for on-the-go touch-ups.

It’s earned rave reviews from fellow multitasking A-listers like Martha Stewart, who included it in her “under-five-minute” beauty routine video with the brand last year.

As for the Victoria Beckham balm, Bell told Today it also makes a great stocking stuffer during the holidays.

“Throughout history, moms have woken up Christmas morning with a flat ass sock hanging on the mantle. I find that unacceptable,” she quipped.

When it comes to wellness, Bell’s routine also includes multiple products she discovered on the internet, including the Chirp Wheel Foam Rollers she bought from a “convincing” online ad.

“I get a lot of weird yoga products and back stretchers, and I’ve got to tell you, I use every single one of them,” she explained.

She also found out about Jaxon Lane’s Shake and Wake Enzyme Powder Face Wash from a targeted ad — and immediately added it to cart.

“It’s just a powder, and I don’t ever have to worry about the travel of it all,” she said. “I’ve got both my girls hooked on it as well.”

It seems even stars can’t resist good advertising.
