Where the trends lead, we will follow—and when fall hits, it always leads us back to Gilmore Girls. From their cozy cups of coffee to their signature styles, it’s hard not to imagine what beauty essentials Rory and Lorelai would stash in their bags. So, we rounded up the makeup, fragrance, hair, and nail products that scream Gilmore Girls vibes and would definitely earn their stamp of approval. While it’s not quite a cup of coffee at Luke’s Diner, these beauty picks will get you pretty close to feeling like you’re strolling through Stars Hollow.
Rory-Approved No-Makeup Makeup Look
“Who cares if I’m pretty if I fail my finals?” – Rory Gilmore
If there’s a look Rory Gilmore would have absolutely owned, it’s the no-makeup makeup trend. Her clean girl, academic aesthetic is always a perfect fall style guide. And this year, the big trend is a barely-there makeup look topped with a healthy in-from-the-cold blush that is so Rory-coded—and we think Lorelai would get behind it, too. Whether they were actually used on set or feel like something the Gilmores would love, these are the makeup essentials that will help you channel the dynamic mother-daughter duo.
Lorelai-Loved Fragrances
“Everything in my life has something to do with coffee. I believe in a former life, I was coffee.” –Lorelai Gilmore
Is there anything more iconic about the Gilmore Girls than their love of coffee? We think not! And we know that Lorelai would surely have this coffee-scented favorite on her shelf. And, correct us if we’re wrong, but we get strong vanilla girl vibes from Rory, something sweet but still mature. For the coffeehouse vibe anytime, try these gorgeous Gilmore Girls-coded fragrances.
‘Gilmore Girls’-Coded Hair Accessories
“Wear your hair down and your attitude high!” – Lorelai Gilmore
When it comes to Gilmore Girls-coded products we love, we just can’t leave hair out of the convo. From Rory’s early days as a headband-girlie to her perfectly tucked-behind-the-ears and iconic bangs era, there’s no shortage of Rory hair inspo. Get the half-up-half-down look of your dreams with these elegant hair accessories.
‘Gilmore Girls’-Inspired Nail Polishes
“Everybody knows that private school girls are bad. And bad girls always wear red nail polish.” – Lorelai Gilmore
Obviously, we think the Gilmore Girls would be on board with some of our favorite nail trends, including bubble bath, soap, and lipgloss nails. The your-nails-but-better look works perfectly with Rory’s subtle makeup look and academic style from the earlier seasons. But that doesn’t mean we think those are the only shades these ladies would wear. After all, bad girls wear red nail polish, according to Lorelai.
