What order do you usually apply your makeup in?

What order do you usually apply your makeup in?

I usually start with eyeshadow and work from crease to lid to brow bone, then fill in brows, apply eyeliner, and finish with mascara. After that, I apply base/complexion products. If I’m not testing, then I’d actually set lightly and then apply highlighter/blush/bronzer (unless they were...

What was the last game-changer to your makeup routine?

While it could be an application/technique tip, type of product, etc. it was a specific product for me! Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter has become a real go-to for adding luminosity and extra slip to any foundation I reach for, so I think that’s about as game-changing as it...

What was the last game-changer to your skincare routine?

What was the last game-changer to your skincare routine?

For me, it was a product (for others, it might be a step or type of product!): Biologique Recherche PIGM400 has become a holy grail-level staple that I continue to repurchase and just don’t see myself straying from. It made such a massive difference in the tone and quality of my skin when it was...

How has your relationship to makeup changed over time?

Oh, definitely! I still love it now, but the relationship has evolved and become more nuanced, which is how I feel about relationships with people, like my husband or my family — longevity gives way to deeper appreciation of the relationship and what everyone brings to that relationship. For...

Has your beauty routine become more or less complicated over time?

Has your beauty routine become more or less complicated over time?

My total routine is more complicated now than it was when I first got into makeup/beauty overall. My skincare routine has a lot more steps and products today than ever before (though I don’t think it’s excessive!). I used to do contour/blush/highlighter and lipstick/lipgloss daily (in the early...
