Belly’s beauty stash from The Summer I Turned Pretty

On the surface, Belly Conklin’s charm lies in being effortlessly yourself—but her beauty routine in the final season goes deeper. As she trades her minimal, summer-fresh vibe for a college-ready glow, her vanity becomes a visual diary of skincare loyalty, subtly elevated makeup, and that nostalgic youthful flair. From hydrating toners to lip oil and peach-scented perfume, each product offers a glimpse into her evolving self-confidence and grounded sense of femininity. .

Skincare first: hydrated, not heavy

Belly’s routine centers on moisture and skin health, rather than cover-up. Her everyday essentials include hydrating staples like a gentle soy cleanser, moisturizing serums, and the Fresh rose-and-hyaluronic acid duo of toner and cream. These choices reflect her preference for preserved natural beauty, with skin kept calm and supple through thoughtful formulations.

Brightening and clarifying elements complete the routine—Byoma’s clarifying serum helps tackle occasional congestion, while a balancing clarifying serum steps in to smooth things over without stripping the skin’s barrier. It’s ‘no-fuss, no-fluff’ skincare that feels like honest self-care. .

Natural-enhancing makeup: polished, yet youthful

Belly wears makeup the way a light breeze wears a sunlit morning—gently and sustainably. She starts with a light, skin-like concealer, skipping full foundation for a more breathable base. A swipe of creamy blush adds a naturally flushed glow, while a single coat of mascara, a winged liner, and a pinkish lip gloss or oxidized lip oil round out the look without edging into overt glam.

Lip care remains low-key but intentional. Kulfi’s Lassi Lips oil appears onscreen in key moments, delivering a wash of color, while Glossier’s high-shine lipstick keeps things lively yet understated. A delicate peach perfume adds a final layer—something whimsical, familiar, and perfectly Belly. .

Finishing touches: familiar, practical, personal

Everyday tools make cameo appearances in the behind-the-scenes peek: CoverGirl concealer for touch-ups, a trusty Wet Brush for quick detangling, and even a fun Revlon nail polish for personality. These aren’t fussy accessories—just the kind of grounded picks that women pick because they work reliably.

Her vanity spills over with charm—claw clips, mirrors, jewelry, and even a discreet birth control pack visible alongside skincare and beauty items. It feels real, lived-in, and utterly relatable. .

Why it resonates: Realism, nostalgia, authenticity

What stands out is how Belly’s beauty lineup speaks to a broader trend of minimal, skincare-first routines prioritized by Gen Z women. Makeup that enhances, not transforms; skincare that supports rather than overhauls. Her choices echo a cultural movement toward authenticity over artifice. .

That’s why her routine resonates. It’s sustainable, intentionally simple, and emotionally connected to who she is—and who she’s becoming.
