Since the debut of Hulu’s The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives in September, the lives of the cast members have been noticeably transformed. As anticipation builds for the upcoming second season set to air in May, one aspect that seems to remain unchanged for these MomTok stars is their commitment to their beauty regimens.
Taylor Frankie Paul, Jen Affleck, and Layla Taylor have opted against utilizing the typical glam squads that many in the reality television space rely on. Instead, they stick to their beloved beauty routines and personal makeup products.
This dedication to simplicity has led them to become ambassadors for MCoBeauty, a brand known for offering affordable alternatives to high-end beauty items. The products, which they fondly refer to as “dupés,” can be found at major retailers like Target and Kroger. As Jen shared in an interview with Bustle, “Growing up, luxury brands were always out of my reach. I’m constantly searching for affordable options that still offer that elegant feel.”
At MCoBeauty’s National Dupe Day event in Salt Lake City, the trio shared insights about their beauty routines and a selection of their favorite MCoBeauty products with Bustle.
Jen Affleck’s Essential Products
Jen insists that no makeup look is complete without blush, holding a somewhat unconventional view that more is definitely better when it comes to this cosmetic. “You need color? Blush. You want to look happier? Blush,” she argues. “Sometimes it can be a little bit too much for people. For me, I’m like, you never have too much blush.”
This conviction has made MCoBeauty’s Highlight and Glow Beauty Wand her favorite. “If you know me, you know I can’t live without my blush and highlighter,” she confesses. “It combines the best of both in one, giving you stunning, glowing skin in seconds.”
Taylor’s Personal Approach
In a departure from many of her peers in reality television, Taylor prefers to steer clear of professional makeup artists for filming or promotional events. “Having [makeup] done is scary for me because I know my face best,” she explains. “I want to stay far away from anyone touching my face.”
She remains committed to using budget-friendly products, making MCoBeauty’s “dupés” a lifesaver in her daily makeup routine. “Their primer is my new obsession,” she shares. “It makes my skin look so smooth and flawless.”
An essential part of her daily regimen now includes sunscreen. “I typically put it all over my body, and then you can apply a little leftover on your face, which gives you this glow,” she notes. “That’s a little secret I don’t think most people know about.”
Layla’s Makeup Techniques
Layla implements an innovative technique known as underpainting, which she discovered through TikTok. “You apply the contour and the blush quite heavily first, then layer foundation on top,” she explains. “It creates a luminous, almost natural effect, which I find really beautiful.”
This method has made MCoBeauty’s Miracle Flawless Setting Spray vital to her routine. “It ensures my makeup remains glowing and flawless, a necessity while managing my busy life as a mother and a television star,” she emphasizes.
