I was tagged on Instagram to play in the fun #onebyonebeautytag. Here are my answers.
⭐️ One skincare item you can’t be without – Cleansing Oil
My skin doesn’t feel clean without it. My fave: Dermalogica Precleanse. Doubles up as makeup remover while traveling. Cleans brushes and removes goopy stuff too.
⭐️ One beauty must have when traveling – Vitamin C Serum
Most reliable free radical buster. Wherever I go, I know I will encounter pollution, not to mention ozone in airplane cabins. It also keeps my skin smooth and clear (Vit C has a mild exfoliating effect). Shown here: Revision Skincare Vitamin C 30% Lotion – a high % concentration of Vitamin C without the irritation.
⭐️ One beauty tool that’s a necessity – Nail Clipper
My nails must be short or I go crazy. I always carry one in case of hangnails.
⭐️ One makeup product you always splurge on – Foundation
This is the hardest makeup item for me to buy. I am always struggling to find the right color and a texture that looks natural, is easy to apply, and still looks smooth after several hours. Since bad foundation is so obvious on the face, I am willing to pay a premium to “get it right.” Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk is my current fave. Any recs welcome!
⭐️ One beauty product you never purchase – Brow Pencil
I use mascara! I prefer brushing on color rather than penciling color in. Easier and faster. I use the samples that come in GWPs. I wait for them to get old so they’re a bit dried up.
