Quarantine has thrown a wrench in nearly every part of our daily routines. While there's no wrong way to cope when navigating our new realities, experts agree that self-care plays a big part in how we feel. Some even say that swiping on lipstick in the morning can help separate our home and work lives — even when they take place on the same couch. In Hilary Duff’s case, putting on a full face of makeup brings a touch of normalcy into self-isolation.
The actress, who recently dyed her hair blue in quarantine, took to Instagram this morning to share a detailed breakdown of her current routine with her followers. “We can still have pretty makeup while we’re in quarantine to make our day feel a little more normal,” she says. In the 21-minute clip, Duff walks fans through each step, from skin care to mascara — and we rounded up every product in the $987.97 routine, ahead.

Glycelene Rejuvenation Crème
Duff — a self-proclaimed "oil queen" — opted for something lightweight to add even more moisture. "If you prep with oil your makeup doesn't tend to stay on as well," she says. "So I tend to use those when I am not wearing makeup, or at night."

Giorgio Armani Power Fabric Compact Foundation
Duff then used this luxe compact to create a base for the rest of her makeup. "I don't want super full coverage," she says. "But I want enough to cover the dark spots and get an even skin tone."
