Spring, Styled By Celene Gee

Celene’s spring reset starts in her makeup bag.

With South Miami open and exciting new launches in motion, her days are full — from product meetings to popping into local neighbourhood spots — so she’s reaching for beauty that feels fresh, fast, and fun.

1. How does your beauty routine shift when spring arrives in Miami?

Spring in Miami means more glow - and embracing a fun energy in my beauty and fashion. I like to do some highlights in my hair and really play into the warmth and humidity. I like using a texture spray to help keep frizz at bay. Trying to keep my hair completely smooth is just out of the question - so I play it up the other way and maybe shake it out and flip my front part to the side.

Celene's Spring Skincare:

For my skin, I definitely add in a bit more exfoliation - I love the Dr. Dennis Gross peel pads or our Gee Beauty Duo Cleanse + Buff. I layer lightweight hydrators like MBR’s Tissue Activator and Barbara Sturm Face Cream. I love love love the tan mist from Nuda and use that as my last step in my PM routine. I was up with the freshest glow in my skin. I’m obsessed! I love finishing my AM skincare with the Elta MD Tinted SPF.

Celene's Spring Makeup:

For makeup, my summer look is all about the Prime Coverage Concealer with the Beauty Stix. I’m so into High Peach, High Bronze and Petal. I layer Warm Glow bronzer on top, and apply it in the crease of my eyelids too. My new summer lip is is Beach Baby lip liner, Cece lipstick and Charlie Nourishing Gloss. 

2. What makes the new Prime Coverage Concealer a staple for your busy spring days?

Honestly, it’s because of how much work they do for you! To me they’re like a total complexion product - buildable coverage, stretch consistency, glide onto the skin and blend beautifully, brighten, hydrate and really finish the skin.

3. Which Beauty Stix shades are you reaching for most this spring, and how are you wearing them?

Petal, High Peach, and High Bronze. High Peach I knew the second we tested it that it would be our best-seller. I also love High Bronze in the crease of my eyelid too.

4. What’s your ideal spring-in-Miami day, from getting ready to where you’re going?

I love to do my morning routine of tea, skincare and eye masks. I sit on my balcony while it’s quiet and do some morning meditations and deep work. I do a quick workout at home, meal prep, get dressed and head to either our studios (in Miami Beach + South Miami) or our offices - Gee Beauty HQ! It’s video meetings, product development, working with our creative team, filming content or hosting an event - everyday is different and I love it!

I love an early dinner at Uchi Ko in Sunset Harbour and then start my wind-down routine: bath, tea, supplements, skincare, some red light / LED or my vibration plate or raise my legs up against a wall for lymphatic drainage benefits. Then I get in bed and chill.

5. What are the little things you’re loving right now — a local spot, a craving, a ritual, a product, or something in your closet?

For spring / summer, I love bringing in more color to my wardrobe - so I’m looking around for a few cute pieces or accessories to update my everyday staples. I obviously love everything Michelle bought for Spring at 6 By Gee Beauty. There are some fun colorful jewelry pieces from Rosanna Angotti and Emerald Holiday. 

I love a great iced matcha - my go-to’s are Bey Bey in Sunset Harbour and Honey Veil in South Miami. 

I’m so into bright and hydrating salads for Spring - my newest one is shaved fennel with parmesan, pomegranate seeds, some cilantro and really good olive oil from Flamingo Estate.
