7 beauty essentials Sofia Richie Grainge can't live without

Sofia Richie Grainge really is just that girl. From her viral bob hair cut, and on-trend Biscoff bronde hair colour, to her timeless wedding makeup, the 26 year old has the kind of taste that everyone can trust. 

So when she recently co-signed a hoard of beauty products in an episode of Vogue's Beauty Secrets we were hanging on every word she said. 

As it turns out, her exercise routine isn't the only thing that's changed since the birth of her daughter Eloise in 2024 — her skin care and makeup routine has been completely overhauled. 

"When I wake up in the morning, I have five minutes to brush my teeth and wash my face. Is that a long time? Maybe, and I just go," she shared. "I get in the sink and I just splatter it all on. It's just gotta be easy, in and out."

"When I was in the deep end of my skin acne when I was pregnant with my daughter, I was wearing a lot more makeup, because I had a lot more to cover. And right now, I'm having a good skin week, month, so it's less," she continued. 

"I think having a daughter made me realise the importance of feeling confident without makeup," she went on to say. "I talk to her a lot about that — I love how I'm saying I talk to her a lot about that, because she's one and she barely speaks — but I am convinced that she can understand me. Therefore, we have deep, deep chats about life."

1/ Vanicream Cleansing Bar

"I use Vanicream bar soap ($13.45 from iHerb) for my face," Grainge explained. "It's the only thing that, literally, doesn't break me out."

The sensitive skin-friendly cleanser is enriched with a moisturising and skin-softening Vanicream Cream Base. Plus, it's non-comedogenic, and doesn't contain soap, oil, fragrance, dyes, lanolin, parabens, formaldehyde, formaldehyde releasers, or gluten. 

2/ Avène Cicalfate Restorative Skin Cream

"[Avène Cicalfate Restorative Skin Cream] (usually $17.99, now on sale for $14.39 from Priceline) is my holy grail, and I always apply it under my makeup, because I feel like my makeup is so pretty on top of this," the 26 year old shared. "It's thick, it's pasty, and this is one of those creams that you need to warm up. The more you warm it up in your hand, the more you warm it up on your face, the glowier and more gorgeous it looks."

3/ Aquaphor Healing Ointment

"My monstrous tub of Aquaphor ($16.69 from iHerb) [is something] that I cannot live without," Grainge dished, saying she's barely made a dent in her supply after purchasing a tub three years ago. "I know, it's probably disgusting, but it's true. Aquaphor is my lip holy grail, tried and true."

4/ Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear All Over Concealer

"This is my girl. I am obsessed with [Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear All Over Concealer] ($63 from Lancôme). I used it when I was pregnant as well, but I would use it with a foundation," the mum-of-one shared. "But because my skin is doing great things, I'm just gonna use this concealer."

"I find that it's silky and gives me good coverage, but it's not replacing my skin, it's just enhancing," she explained. "If I had to use only one makeup product, it would be concealer, because I could leave the house like that with just a bit of concealer on and feel covered up and confident."

5/ Sacheu Lip Liner STAY-N Peel Off Lip Liner

"I'm not gonna lie, I saw Billie Eilish use [Sacheu Lip Liner STAY-N Peel Off Lip Liner] ($23.71 from Revolve), and I was like, "Can I try that? I think I can." So, I did, and I love it... it's the shade Noohde," Grainge explained. "I went to her concert that night, but a thought of mine was literally, how did her lip stay on all night?".

"It's funny, because people are like, 'oh, my god, you started this trend or started that trend'. I'm like, no I didn't. I'm a girly who scrolls TikTok. That's what I am," she went on to say. "I saw someone do it — like this lip stain — and I just love it and do it as well. When I did my slicked-back bun, it was kind of like a shock to me, how many people cared, just because to me, it was so not a thing. It was just my lazy hairdo that I did."

6/ Anastasia Beverly Hills Clear Brow Gel

"I'm gonna quickly do my eyebrows, so I'm just gonna use a brow gel. This is the Anastasia Clear Brow Gel ($39 from MECCA)," said Grainge.

"I've been using Anastasia brow gel for 10 years," she confessed. "I can't switch to anything else for some reason."

7/ Maybelline Lash Sensational Full Fan Effect Waterproof Mascara

"I've tried every mascara. I don't know what is wrong with me, but this is the only mascara that works for me," Grainge shared. "Otherwise, my mascara is running down my face constantly. This stays on. This is not an ad. All day, all night, doesn't run. I'm convinced 'cause it's waterproof. It's the Maybelline Lash Sensational Full Fan Effect Waterproof ($24.99 from Adore Beauty)."

"What I really like about this mascara as well is that it's never clumpy. It fans out your — I guess it is called a Full Fan Effect, and that makes sense — it just keeps your lashes looking somewhat natural, while making them darker and lifting them," she explained.
