Beauty Products That Save You From Looking Tired on Camera
Zoom ready beauty picks that work even when you're running on fumes…
By Camryn Bacon
Since remote work became the new norm post-COVID, many of us have traded blazers for hoodies and our daily commutes for a quick roll out of bed. And while there’s no need to go full glam for your Monday morning meetings, looking fresh and put-together (from the shoulders up, at least) can do wonders for your confidence, and your camera presence.
That “you look so refreshed!” glow doesn’t require a 10-step routine or layers of makeup. With the right skincare products, you can achieve healthy, radiant skin that shines through the screen with minimal effort. Whether you're team #nomakeup or just want to condense your routine, these glowing skin essentials are perfect for remote workers who want to look alive, awake, and effortlessly glowy.
