Lexi Herrick's Beauty Edit

“As a chronic multitasker, my beauty routine has to be very fluid and dynamic. Whether I’m hiking scenic trails, soaking up the sun at the lake, or dressed up for a big day at the office, I reach for long-lasting products that can really do it all. I bounce between a no-makeup, heavy-on-the-SPF look for athletic days in nature and a bright, vibrant makeup style that amplifies my creative side. My grandma has always said you can accomplish anything with a red lip, and I live by this creed.” — Lexi Herrick, senior director of audience development

Trail Tested

“As someone who loves both a bold lipstick and a brisk hike, I’m sharing my favorite beauty products for summer adventures—think hiking, golfing, boating, traveling, and basking in the sunshine. These picks are equal parts pretty and practical, built to keep up with every sun-soaked plan you have on your bucket list this summer.”
