Do you ever wear makeup to alter your mood?

Do you ever wear makeup to alter your mood?

Oh, absolutely! I find that there’s something relaxing and soothing about sitting down and doing my makeup each day. It’s such a massive part of my day-to-day routine that skipping it often feels like a sign there’s too much going on elsewhere (and usually not in a good way!). Most of the...

What part of your skincare routine brings you the most joy?

What part of your skincare routine brings you the most joy?

It’s a toss up between removing makeup–satisfying to see it all come off, and there’s a sense of “ahh, clean!” afterward–and physical exfoliation for ultra-soft and smooth skin!

What part of your makeup routine brings you the most joy?

My eye makeup for sure. It’s what made me fall in love with makeup, and surprisingly, it’s still the part that I get most excited for. If there’s ever something that compels me to sit down and put on makeup, it’s putting on eyeshadow.

What was last product that tempted you (but you resisted)?

What was last product that tempted you (but you resisted)?

Tata Harper ran a 25% off sale, and I almost picked up three-piece set but decided to just get the one product I really wanted (cleansing oil).

How does your skincare routine change for summer?

How does your skincare routine change for summer?

I live in Arizona, so summer is actually the time of year where I spend more time inside than outside on a daily basis, not that I’m really outside for THAT long in any season. But summer here is more like everyone else’s harsh winter–stay inside as much as possible and otherwise run...

How does your makeup routine change for summer?

Since I work from home and work all the time, it doesn’t change on a day-to-day basis. Living in Arizona where the sun feels like it beats on you even at 80 degrees (let alone 115-120 degrees!) means that I definitely opt for little to no makeup (and obviously, higher SPF) if I’m planning on...

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?

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 satisfied are you with your skincare routine?

How satisfied are you with your skincare routine?

I think my skin is, generally, not that fussy. It’s rare that a product makes me break out or my skin react poorly, so I’m usually happy enough. I find that greater knowledge about serums, toners, and exfoliants has gone a long way into improving my overall routine in subtle, but meaningful...
