How does your makeup change based on the weather?

Unless I’m going to be outside for a prolonged period of time, the weather really doesn’t impact what I wear (or don’t wear). If it’s really hot outside, then I’ll wear minimal makeup or no makeup so I can reapply sunscreen!

What was the last beauty-related lesson you learned?

Only buy one back-up of something I think I’ll use – in general, avoid all color cosmetic backups except something like my brow color or mascara, and then for skincare, I try to stick to just one more of XYZ vs. a year’s supply.
