What's your current go-to foundation and tool to apply it?

What's your current go-to foundation and tool to apply it?

I have a few that I’m currently cycling through: Tarte Rainforest of the Sea (my favorite), Dior Star Fluid Foundation (photographs really well and is forgiving when I have to remove/redo makeup frequently along the edges), and Lancome Teint 24HR (great wear, looks good in person). I use Real...

Rant & Rave: Setting Sprays

Rant & Rave: Setting Sprays

Tell us what you love and hate about...

What's one skincare product you'll splurge on?

What's one skincare product you'll splurge on?

Serums/treatments that are more targeted to something specific, have a greater concentration of the right ingredients for targeting the skin issue, and so forth are worth spending a little more. I also like the texture of mid to higher-end moisturizers, so I tend to splurge often there.

What's one skincare product you'll skimp on?

Cleanser! I’ve indulged inexpensive cleansers but know that I don’t feel like they really sit on the skin long enough to be doing anything miraculous to my actual skin, so something that cleans well, doesn’t strip my skin, etc. is all that is needed and really does come at a variety of price...

How does your makeup routine change for summer?

If I wasn’t testing something, then I would be using setting spray and a lighter base with no powder along my nose (sunglasses and foundation separation!). I tend to keep it lighter on makeup if I’m going to be outside a lot or doing a lot of errands where I have to go to one place, then...

How does your skincare routine change for summer?

I tend to reach for something with high SPF if I’m going to be outdoors for awhile regardless of the time of year, but here in Arizona, the sun is almost always blazing hot in the summer and I never, ever forget SPF or to add more from March through October.
