I’m currently using Ouai’s Volume Shampoo and Conditioner every two days. I don’t do much else to my hair, but after I wash, I’ll spray It’s a 10 and then let it sit in a towel to air dry for about 30-45 minutes, then blow dry Dyson’s dryer.

What is your current brow routine?

I tweeze any stray hairs but like my current shape so I’m in maintenance mode there. I usually tweezer every other day at my desk, since I take close-up photos of my eye area often. I use Anastasia Dipbrow with an angled brush to fill them in and then clear brow gel (varies on what I use) to...

What is your current evening skincare routine?

I’m still finishing up my SUQQU Cleansing Oil, which I use for removing makeup, along with Shiseido’s Eye & Lip Remover (dispensed onto a cotton swab or facial cotton to remove every last trace of makeup along my lash lines as I wear contacts at night and can’t have ANY trace of makeup land in...

What is your current lip care routine?

What is your current lip care routine?

During the day, I’m using testing products so I don’t use much regularly, but if I wake up and my lips feel really dry, then I’ll put a bit of my Clarins’ lip balm on. In the evening, I use Clarins’ lip balm for regular hydration, and when I need “extra strength” I’ll use...

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

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

I really love Estee Lauder Modern Mercury, which is what I’ve been reaching for when I get a chance. I use tapered highlighting brushes–an assortment–like Hakuhodo B5521 (or any of the 5521s), Wayne Goss 02, or SUQQU Cheek.

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

It’s sooo tough for me to a single blush as a current go-to! I feel like I always want to reach for MAC Fairly Precious, though I restrain myself from doing so. When I apply that, I use either Hakuhodo B5521 or G5545.

I’ve been using a lot of Tarte’s Shape Tape! When I use it on my face (to conceal a pimple or spot), I usually pat it in with my fingertip and lightly buff with my foundation brush (Real Techniques Expert Face). When I use it underneath my eyes, I use Real Technique’s Setting Brush (small,...

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...
