Even if you haven't been a teenager in years, there's something about "The Summer I Turned Pretty" that makes you long for young summer love; the kind that usually begins and ends near a skee-ball machine or ferris wheel. Even if we'll never get the kind of love triangle plaguing main character Isabel "Belly" Conklin (played by Lola Tung), we'll settle for her low-key summer beauty look.
We know we're not alone. In fact, we'd say "TSITP" is continuing to rival "Stranger Things" on TikTok; videos replicating the breezy aesthetic of Belly's hair and makeup at her summer house in the made-up town of Cousins has taken over FYPs. The thing is that there's nothing particularly unique about it: a swipe of tinted lip balm, a dollop of sunscreen, and maybe a little mascara, and the look is complete. And yet, we don't care — we're in it for the vibe, and Belly's is one that might make you feel like you're having the most memorable summer of your life, even if you aren't at all.
Still, you can't channel this story's main character without knowing all of the facts, so we uncovered them for you. Ahead, the show's makeup department head Tara Sall reveals the stories and products that will help you officially enter your "Belly Era" this summer.
