Whether you first met Miranda Hope through binge-watching Hulu’s hit reality TV series The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives or stumbled across her during “MomTok’s” rise on TikTok, chances are you’ve already wondered how the reality star and content creator’s skin always manages to look like she just stepped out of a facial appointment.

Now that she’s entered her late twenties (not to mention spends most days either filming, creating content, or posting online), the Utah-based mom of two has gradually built out a multi-step Korean skincare routine that might make even the most seasoned beauty editor stop and take notes.

Thankfully for the chronically nosy among us, she’s also refreshingly open about exactly what products and treatments are behind the glow.

Aside from giving glimpses into motherhood and her co-parenting journey with ex-husband Chase McWhorter, Hope regularly posts on TikTok about her beauty favorites, makeup tips, and cosmetic procedures, from Botox “Lip Flip” treatments to porcelain veneers.
