by Eva Thomas

You're probably all asking yourselves the same question: What is the secret to that coveted Rosie Huntington-Whiteley glow? Well, it's likely the lit-from-within radiance is a result of good genes, a healthy, well-balanced diet, and a handful of glow-enhancing products that you, too, can get your hands on right now. Best of all? Many of the Huntington-Whiteley's skincare essentials are actually fairly affordable, especially when you take into account how quickly moisturizers, serums, and nourishing face oils can hit an above-$100 price point.

Now, although you might not be able to get a true inside peek into the Huntington-Whiteley's vanity, the model is known to highlight her go-to products fairly regularly, especially since the launch of her website, Rose Inc. — a content platform that offers a deep dive into her best-kept skincare secrets. Now, in addition to her Instagram tutorials, you can get daily snapshots of the CEO's glam routine.

So what exactly goes into a supermodel's daily beauty routine, you ask? Well, in addition to a solid exfoliating product and radiance-building serums, there are some curveballs you may not have seen coming. In fact, one of Huntington Whiteley's beauty staples can be found in the drugstore and costs all of $5.

If you, too, desire the model's lit-from-within glow, you'll want to scoop up her holy-grail products straight away. Shop the picks Huntington-Whiteley and her go-to makeup artist Nikki DeRoest swear by, below.

An Enzyme Peel

In a recent Instagram post, DeRoest wrote a length, highly detailed caption that outlined everything she used to achieve "The Rosie Glow," as she dubbed it. "For me it’s all about the skin prep before makeup," DeRoest wrote. "I like to smooth away any dry skin with an enzyme peel to start," she added before calling out Skin Inc.'s Pure Revival Peel — a product that works to gently buff away dead skin cells to reveal brighter, more renewed-looking skin.

A Brightening Serum

After buffing away dead skin cells with the aforementioned enzyme peel, you'll want to apply a brightening serum. Huntington-Whiteley loves this BY TERRY pick, which "provides an instant boost in radiance with a subtle veil of light-reflective pearl pigments that blur imperfections and evenly tone skin," per the product description.

A Face Oil

Once you've buffed away dead skin cells and given your skin a serious radiance boost, it's time to apply a dime-sized drop of oil on the face — a step DeRoest swears by before applying any sort of face makeup. Her desert island product? The Universal Face Oil by Mara, which boasts a formula of age-defying algae, plankton extract, and four superfood plant oils that replenish and hydrate. Shop The Product

A Velvet Finish Foundation

Pre-makeup skin prep is extremely important. After all, it helps to create a fresh, glowing base that makes foundation look its absolute best for as long as possible. But of course, choosing a good foundation is just as essential — and that's where Giorgio Armani's Power Fabric Foundation comes into play. DeRoest called out this particular product in her step-by-step guide to achieving "The Rosie Glow." Shop The Product

Tinted Lip Balm

The U.K.-born model has been very vocal about her love of Burt's Bees lip balm. "I probably have about 10 all over my car," Huntington-Whiteley said to The Zoe Report. "It’s the perfect lip balm for me — it leaves your lips a little bit tingly, a little bit red, it’s not shiny, it’s not matte, and it has a great texture to it.”
