Jennifer Garner has left her mark on me; I’m a fashion editor thanks to Jenna Rink, and I’ve been rocking red lipstick ever since she called me “cute” in an interview. Honestly, what more do you need? So it’s only right that I celebrate her upcoming 53rd birthday the InStyle way—by sharing her most coveted shopping picks. 

Jennifer Garner’s Fashion and Beauty Picks:

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizer

Garner’s skin care regime takes “90 seconds at the most,” according to the Neutrogena partner of 17 years. Her minimalist approach includes the $18 Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizer, claiming her skin “drinks it in.” She even called it a “skin hack,” since it restores lost moisture and helps in “plumping out any fine lines.” 

Spanx Spanxshape Booty Boost 7/8 Leggings

She takes her athleisure seriously, too, wearing the Spanx Booty Boost Leggings like clockwork. I understand her obsession, since I own them, too. From the moment I slipped them on, I was in awe of their buttery feel, petite-friendly fit, and sculpting fabric. My favorite part? The bottoms eliminate the use of a center seam, making a camel toe a thing of the past.

Virtue Healing Hair Oil

The Deadpool & Wolverine star may be a Virtue brand ambassador, but that doesn’t mean she blindly raves about every product. Instead, she calls out the ones that really work, like the Healing Hair Oil. Pros wax poetic about the formula, claiming it’s “not overly oily and creates an immense amount of shine.” Garner even said it “fixes everything”—and while that might not include your broken hair dryer, it does mean fried ends and frizzy flyaways are history.

Brooks Ariel GTS 24 Sneakers

Nothing motivates me more than a Garner fitness video—and she has a lot of them. The common thread running through them all? Her trusty Brooks sneakers. The cloud-like tennis shoes have long been a staple in her wardrobe thanks to their breathable mesh upper, bouncy sole, and secure lace-up closure. I’m particularly fond of the neutral hue, seamlessly pairing with the most colorful spring ‘fits.  

Westman Atelier Vital Skin Foundation Stick

To get that Garner glow, reach for the Westman Atelier Vital Skin Foundation Stick. She called it her “favorite thing” in a Vogue “Quick as Possible” beauty routine video last year, saying she owns a “couple of [tubes].” I get it, since the subtle, skin-illuminating foundation also serves as a concealer and color-corrector, minimizing product overload. 

Joe’s Jeans Flawless High-Waist Bootcute Jeans

If you haven’t caught on by now, Garner finds joy in simplicity, especially when it comes to style. Her go-to outfit formula? A classic tee and pants—and when it comes to denim, she reaches for Joe’s Jeans. I can see her sporting this bootcut style, which secretly elongates the legs, cinches the waist, and lifts the bum.

Steal a few of Garner’s top style and beauty tricks by picking up some of her favorite products. When items start at $18, it’s hard to say no.
