Michelle Phan's #1 Beauty Product Is...

by Jessica Willingham

Michelle Phan is kind of a big deal. The beauty vlogger has racked up one billion (yes, billion) YouTube views since launching her beauty-based channel in 2006. So when Michelle Phan reveals her skincare routine and her favorite beauty product, we all listen — and then go running straight to the makeup counter.

When it comes to Phan's makeup routine, less is definitely more, she confesses. But when it comes to her skincare regimen, more is more. "I am fanatical about skin care, so my routine is fairly elaborate," Phan told InStyle UK. "I believe good skin takes work. My routine involves several steps and one or two products for each step. To put it simply, my steps include cleansing, sun protection, retinoid cream, serum, moisturizer and eye cream. Each step has it’s own process and products."

Oh, and the reason you'll never catch Phan with bags under her eyes? That's thanks to her favorite beauty product. "Concealer is one of the most essential beauty products out there. It does everything from hiding blemishes and raccoon eyes, to drawing attention to your eyes and cheekbones," she told InStyle UK. "I use em Shade Play Color Mixing Concealer Palette to spot-treat discoloration around my eyes, lips, and nose. It comes with six hues that you can mix to conceal, highlight, and neutralize." Listen and learn, grasshoppers.
