As a rising trend muse, outspoken activist, actress and self-proclaimed beauty-product connoisseur, Liza Koshy leverages her influential platform not simply to entertain, however to spark significant conversations and advocate for the causes she’s most keen about.
Inside Out
“I attack my beauty routine from the inside out. I have to nurse the inside in order to glow on the outside. I drink water like no other, and my water of choice is Smartwater. I don’t even know why it is my choice, but I think because it was marketed brilliantly and told me: ‘Clouds have the same process that we have here at Smartwater.’”
Health Repair
“I go to Barry’s Bootcamp. I thought it was such an LA stereotype for years. Then I got into it, and now I am the stereotype. It is a really great workout. I’ve tried a lot of different workouts, and I absolutely love how quick it is—45 minutes. It’s the best way to start my day.”
Vitamin Pack
“I made the move to New York six months ago, and it’s a totally different climate than Houston, where I grew up, and LA. I’ve never dealt with the cold before. It turns out I’m a wimp and don’t know how to deal with it…in the beginning, I was constantly sick. I ended up finding a solve of sorts in Cymbiotika’s Glutathione. It is brilliant—it’s like adult gummies. Right now, I am taking three or four different types daily. I also love my MaryRuth’s organic liposomals. I put them on top of yogurt. It’s delicious. I love eating vitamins.”

Self-importance Hack
“My vanity is actually two cabinetry lights that flicker on automatically. I bought two of those motion-activated strips from Amazon and smacked them onto my mirror.”
Develop Workforce
“Vegamour is incredible for hair growth. I just cut my hair into this curly little bob, and my hairstylist recommended the brand to induce hair growth on my sides and baby hairs and to reduce hair loss. It’s an incredible product. They have a full line of products, and I use GRO every night. It’s not greasy, and it does what it needs to do.”
Eye Spy
“111SKIN under-eye patches are great. I’m forgetting the name, but I know it’s cryo-something. It’s for depuffing. I get very puffy because I get very deep sleep, thanks to Cymbiotika and magnesium L-threonate! 111SKIN always helps me depuff, and so does Barry’s.”
Make-up Musts
“After my patches, I do my makeup. I use a lot of Glossier. I love their cream concealer and foundation. I am pretty good about sunscreen, and mainly use Supergoop. I also use Pat McGrath lip liner in the color Mocha Obsession. I love a pouty lip, and I love, love, love Pat McGrath. I think she’s just an absolute genius. I also just recently discovered prepping your eyelashes with a maximizer. I use Dior Iconic Overcurl and Overvolume. It comes with this white bottle that extends your lashes even longer and builds a layer around your lash. It’s skinny, but it swoops! It looks like I have extensions on with this combination. I don’t know how they did it, but thank God they did.”
Pores and skin Care
“I know it’s not recommended, but I love falling asleep in a face mask! Everybody always asks me: ‘What facial did you just go to? You look amazing.’ I’m like, ‘I just used a 111SKIN face mask last night for seven hours.’ Also, I love Allies of Skin. They have some incredible products. Their retinol is the only retinol that my face can handle. I also love their Molecular Silk Amino Hydrating Cleanser. It emulsifies and removes makeup.”
Signature Scent
“When I was last on set, I was constantly complimented on how good I smelled, even after running through a forest from said actor that I cannot say yet because it hasn’t been announced. I was complimented that I smelled good. It is Who is Elijah Wall Street perfume. Their stuff is great. I love the Wall Street scent. I don’t know if it smells like Wall Street, but I guess I do smell like a very successful, expensive man. I’m not someone to gatekeep my perfumes. I know people like to smell like their smell, but let the people know! If they smell weird, they can smell better with Who is Elijah.”
