Like I mentioned last week when I discussed Kamala Harris’s signature accessory, talking about a woman’s fashion or beauty choices shouldn’t detract from their achievements. Whoever said you can’t talk about someone’s style and substance? This is a sentiment that congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez also stands behind.
Today, Vogue released a new video where AOC went through her entire skincare and makeup routine. “There’s this false idea that if you care about makeup or if your interests are in beauty and fashion that that’s somehow frivolous,” she said in the video. “But I actually think these are some of the most substantive decisions that we make, and we make them every morning.” Amen to that. She also waxed poetic on the importance of one crucial skincare step: “Don’t play games with sunscreen,” she said.
While watching her routine, one of her products stood out to me: the Acure Radically Rejuvenating Whipped Night Cream ($20), which is available to buy on Amazon and boasts 207 five-star reviews. Multiple reviews mention that it’s a great affordable dupe for the cult-favorite Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Moisturizer ($68) because it’s so hydrating and contains many of the same ingredients, including peptides and birrea seed oil. I also love that she uses Glossier’s iconic Cloud Paint Cream Blush ($18)—specifically the Dusk shade. Scroll down to watch the full video and shop AOC’s exact skincare and makeup products.
Next, Kamala Harris has been wearing her signature accessory for $35 years.
