Hilary Duff isn't just the star of a show called Younger - it seems she's also the living embodiment of the word. At least as far as her fans are concerned. 

The 32-year-old Lizzie McGuire star wowed viewers of a new Vogue beauty video when she showed off a near-perfect makeup-free complexion while detailing her morning skincare routine. 

But while fans were certainly impressed by her tips and tricks, it was the TV star's youthful appearance that took center stage in the comments, with one awestruck viewer gushing that her skin 'is like a baby's butt' while another referred to Hilary as 'a goddess'.  

Younger! Hilary Duff has left her fans in awe after showing off her 'perfect' complexion in a new beauty video for Vogue 

Now and then: Viewers marveled at the 32-year-old's youthful looks, with many insisting she has not aged a day since she starred in Lizzie McGuire in the early 2000s (right)

At the start of the video, Hilary - who is standing in a bathroom - introduces herself to the camera, before explaining that she is going to run through her daily skincare and beauty routine for days when she has little to no time on her hand, but wants to achieve a professional look. 

'I'm Hilary Duff, and I am going to show you my skincare routine today,' she begins.

'I'm a busy mom, I don't have a ton of time to do my makeup, but this version today is like on a day when I have my kids but I also have a couple of meetings [and] I want to look like I put some effort in.'

The TV star has a completely bare face at this point - showing off a smooth and wrinkle-free complexion that has left those watching the video in awe.  

'She’s getting better and prettier with age!' one person wrote, as another chimed in: 'If I had her face I would never put make up on it. She is perfect.'

'Girl has not aged a bit,' one woman said, before adding: 'Yass Queen give us the skincare routine.'

A number of other viewers began comparing the star to Jennifer Lopez, pointing out that Hilary bears an uncanny resemblance to the singer, particularly when she isn't wearing makeup. 

'For some reason I feel like she looks like a white JLo before she did her brows!' one person wrote. 'They have similar features, mostly the eyes and face shape/cheekbones.'

Another agreed, writing: 'You look like a JLO's young sister.' 

Luckily for those clamoring to know how Hilary - who skyrocketed to fame while starring in the Disney hit show Lizzie McGuire back in 2001 - maintains such a flawless complexion, she then proceeded to detail the exact products she uses to get ready for the day.  

Moving on up: 'She’s getting better and prettier with age,' one viewer said of Hilary, who shot to stardom when she first starred in Disney hit Lizzie McGuire back in 2001

Back again: The TV star had been working on a reboot of the popular TV series, which was also turned into a movie, however production has been suspended by Disney+

Work it! Mother-of-two Hilary, pictured left in 2011 and right in 2019, has more recently been recognized for her role in TV series Younger, and she has continued to dazzle in the spotlight

'Sometimes [before I start] I wash my hands, or I do a little hand sanitizer,' the star revealed while spraying her hands with the Dr. Bronner's Organic Hand Sanitizer ($5), before sharing that she likes to begin her skincare with Olehenriksen's Glow2OH Dark Spot Toner ($29) because she is trying to combat melasma, a pigmentation disorder that she developed while pregnant. 

' So one really cool thing that happened to me when I had babies was I got melasma, and it hangs out right here on my forehead,' she remarks, while pointing to a darker patch of skin. 

'This one is a dark spot toner so every day I say a little prayer that it's taking care of that dark spot right there.' 

From there, Hilary moves on to moisturizer, which she notes that she likes to double up on, particularly when the weather is 'super dry in California', where she lives. 

First, the mother-of-two layers vegan brand Glycelene's The Beauty Ointment ($75) onto her skin, joking that she has to scoop it out of the jar with her 'long witchy nails'. She then warms the balm up in between her fingers to make it softer, before applying it to her skin.  

'I really love oils,' she comments, while rubbing the cream into her face. 'If your skin can handle it, it's quite a treat, but also sticking with what you know works for you is a great tip.'  

But while the ointment might be plenty thick, Hilary still chooses to follow it up with a second face cream - another, lighter product ($95) from the same vegan brand. 

'I use [the first one] as a bit of a serum; even though it's super moisturizing I'm still going to put a cream on top, it's also by Glycelene, and it smells like cucumber, which I love,' she shares.

'This is a much lighter day cream; I like to layer them because I like to keep my skin looking dewy. I'm feeling really moisturized.' 

Despite admitting that she usually has to rush through her beauty routine in order to make time for her children, Hilary notes that she always ensures she has the chance to squeeze in one important step - massaging her face creams into her skin with the Nurse Jamie Uplift Massaging Beauty Roller ($69).  

Let's get ready: She kicks off her beauty routine with hand sanitizer (left), before starting her skincare, which includes a host of natural products, like her Glycelene face cream (right)

Opening up: Hilary reveals in the video that she developed melasma - a pigmentation disorder - while pregnant, explaining that she uses a dark spot toner to try and combat it 

Priorities: Although she says that she tries to keep her routine as quick as possible, Hilary takes the time to massage in her skincare products with this Nurse Jamie tool 

Complexion perfection: Hilary likes to keep her foundation as light as possible, sharing that she massages both her base product and her bronzer in with a Beautyblender

'I never have a ton of time, but it does really wake up your skin,' Hilary says of the beauty tool - which is designed to 'energize, enhance, revive, and uplift the skin'. 

'As I've gotten older, I'll notice in the mornings that I have my pillow case lines on my skin... it's such a bumout,' Hilary adds.  

'This tool saves me. The neck for sure needs love because if you're a face sleeper like me - I'm just mashed up on my face when I sleep - these guys can really get creasy.'

After finishing the facial massage, Hilary picks up her eye cream - the REN Skincare Keep Young And Beautiful Instant Brightening Beauty Shot Eye Lift ($46), patting it into the area under her eyes, while revealing that she also uses the product on the area around her nose and on her smile lines.  

For makeup, Hilary starts off with the Perricone MD No Makeup Foundation Serum Broad Spectrum SPF 20 ($60), which she praises for its lightweight texture, explaining that she feels as though it lets her skin 'breathe' while she is wearing it. 

The beauty lover applies the product with a Beautyblender ($20), joking that her technique is a 'little bit aggressive' because she's 'always in a hurry'. To ensure that her face looks smooth and even, she 'rolls' the sponge across her face, and uses the point to apply product in hard-to-reach places like the corner of her eyes. 

She even pulls the product up into her hairline, joking that she 'hates when you can see foundation in your hair, but I also hate when you don't have foundation [up there]'. So, Hilary opts for a happy medium, ensuring that the product is blended well enough that there are no 'harsh lines'. 

Hilary also uses the makeup sponge to apply her favorite bronzer - the Chanel Soleil Tan de Chanel ($50) - a cream product that she hails as one of her top-used makeup items. 

To create a more contoured look, she applies the bronzer under her cheekbones, and then adds some across her forehead, noting that she wants to add product to all of the places where the sun would naturally tan her skin.       

'Another tip that someone taught me when I was pretty young was that you want to create a "W" across your face,' she says, referring to the best places to put the bronzer. '[Start at the top of one cheekbone and go] down, up over your nose, down, and then up again.'  

All about the eyes: For under eye concealer, Hilary uses the Glossier Stretch Concealer (left), while her preferred eyelash curler is by Kevyn Aucoin (right)

Tricks of the trade: Hilary says one of her favorite makeup hacks is to sweep bronzer in a 'W' shape across the face, sharing that this allows for the most natural results 

Brows on fleek: The Younger star admits that brows are the thing she struggles with the most, noting that she always manages to make one look good, while the other isn't as impressive

Under eye concealer comes in the form of Glossier's Stretch Concealer ($18), which Hilary applies with a Cle de Peau Concealer Brush ($35), before curling her lashes with Kevyn Aucoin's The Eyelash Curler ($21).   

'See that? Such a difference. I feel awake,' she comments as she finishes the step.

Hilary devotes the most time out of her routine to her eye look, which she kicks off with the Mermaid Eyes eye shadow from Chantecaille ($34), which she applies with a brush, joking that her nails are too long to use her fingers. 

After blending the shadow out to create a more defined crease, Hilary draws some of the same shade along her lower lash line using a flat brush from MAC Cosmetics ($26.50). 

'So also, one other trick that I love, is that your eye, the part that people focus on is the black dot in the center, so if you want to give a little more extra attention, [put some product] right in the middle underneath, and then maybe [put] a shimmer right in the center on the top lid,' she shares.

'It's going to draw focus to that focal point that you want people to look at.'

To add a bit more glitz and glam to the look, Hilary opts to add a bit of shimmer to her eye, using Stila's Shimmer & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow ($24), which she reveals her makeup artist on Younger introduced her to.  

She then uses some of the Chanel bronzer and the Stila product on her lower lash line for a smudgy look.  

And because you can never have too much glitter, the Younger star dives back in with another shimmery product, Natasha Denona's Chroma Crystal Top Coat ($28), applying some to the center of her eyelids. 

Moving on to her brows, Hilary explains that she likes to work with a range of different products, but her all-time favorite remains the Benefit Cosmetics Ka-Brow! Cream-Gel Eyebrow Color ($24).  

The eyes have it: She says she likes to go for more of an 'awake' look than a cat eye, and therefore uses a lot of shimmery shadows and some glitter

The final touches: Hilary has just started overlining her lips, and while she admits that she is still 'scared' every time she tries it, she likes the overall effect 

'It comes with a brush that I've actually used for a very long time, maybe too long, but it's a nice waxy pot and it's lasted me forever,' she says, revealing that she traces outside of her natural brow line in order to give her the full brows that she 'prays for'.

'I like to do little strokes so they hopefully look like hair,' the starlet continues.

Hilary then likes to brush through her brows with a 'little stick' - a spoolie - revealing that she ordered 200 of the disposable tools from Amazon to ensure she had plenty on hand.  

'Brows are always the hardest for me, this guy always gives me hell,' she admits. 'Every day I get a good brow, and it's always one.  

'Now I'm going to use Glossier Boy Brow ($16), brown is my favorite color. If you have good thick brows you don't have to try to be as fluffy.' 

To add a natural glow to her face, Hilary uses a ByTerry highlighter ($46), which she applies in a small 'C' shape around the outside corner of each of her eyes. In order to enhance her natural lip shape, she highlights her cupid's bow using a Nudestix Magnetic Eye Pencil ($26). 

'I'm getting a little bit dewy so I'm going to use a powder,' she continues, while flashing the Antonym Baked Foundation ($38) at the camera. 

'This is an all-natural powder that I found in a cute store in Brooklyn, and I'm going to use a fluffy brush and just powder some zones that get a little dewy. Not a lot.' 

The final steps in Hilary's routine include bronzer - Benefit Cosmetics' Hoola Matte Bronzer ($30) - blusher - Charlotte Tilbury's Cheek to Chic Blush ($40) - and mascara. 

'I had eyelash extensions for six months, and my lashes are finally getting a little bit better so I have to tell you this product that I'm obsessed with is called Grande Lash ($25),' she shares. 

Before and after: Many commenters praised Hilary's appearance in the video, commenting that she doesn't actually need makeup

Et voila! After finishing her makeup, Hilary sets it with an SPF spray, before making her way out of the door to start her day 

'I never remember to do the [lash] serum, but this mascara has the serum in it. It's working for you during the day.'  

Before finishing up with her lips, Hilary does a final contour with the Nudestix Nudies Tinted Blur Stick ($30), and puts some shimmer in the inner corner of her eyes to open them up and give her that 'awake' look.    

'I just started overlining my lips a tiny bit, and it scared me so bad at first, I was like, "How come other people can do it and I look insane?"' Hilary continued. 'I think I can do it but I'm not sure, I'm going to go very light right now.'

Using the Laura Mercier Longwear Lip Liner ($26), she lines just outside her natural lip line in the middle of her pout, before topping the pencil up with an Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupte Lipstick ($38). 

The ultimate step in her routine is less about aesthetics and more about safety - with Hilary revealing that she sets her makeup in place with the Soleil Toujours Organic Set + Protect Micro Mist SPF ($36).    

'This is an amazing product if you've taken your time to do nice makeup, and you're like, "Well I don't want to put sunscreen on top of that." 

'It's such an important step, especially if you live somewhere sunny.' 

Before walking out of the door, Hilary sprays herself with a body mist from natural brand Saje ($20), revealing that her mother gave her the spray for her to use every morning. 

'A new thing that I just added into my routine, my mom gave me this Saje spray, it's called Goddess, and it's so nice,' she says. 'It's jasmine, and I feel like it just gets me ready for the day. This is an intention spray, if you will.'   

Et voila! After that, the busy mom-of-two, who tied the knot with partner Matthew Koma in an intimate ceremony in December, heads out of the door ready to start her day.
