“Growing up, I thought I would do something that I got into, but only in college, I thought I hadn’t felt worrying about that. That was sometimes really scary, but it was also useful not to feel such attacks on anyone. Vanity FairLuckyand fashionist before me The fashion businessWhere I spent six years exciting learning as much as I could about the end of the industry.

While I was eating CrazyLauren Sherman and I reported in Victoria’s Secret, which are then taken to our book, Sexy Sale: Victoria’s Secret and the unraveling of an American icon. We wanted to explore how the company became so great and how it became so polia. It is in line with my new role in The Cut, which I joined at the beginning of this year. There, my approach is in longer stories about fashion. I can connect my background in commercial reports with what is happening in the culture to break why we buy what we buy. For the problem of autumn fashion, I wrote or the best luxury clients, and how their passion for fashion has become a lifestyle, and how brands are attending to them through the invitation of the show or flying them to special dinners. When writing the piece, I was very interested in understanding thesis customers: how it drives them and how are their interactions with brands. Large luxury brands have to do with control, but customers cannot be controlled because they are making real purchases, so there are interesting points of tension.

Skin care
One of my first memories of interacting with beauty was through the acne lens. If a product promised to remove acne, I had to try. I tried everything: antibiotics, Accutane, proactiv. I even used a corrector that was recommended to cover tattoos, and if physically I did not have it with me at all times, I would have a panic attack. More recent, Spironolactone is what has helped me the most with my acne, although I will say that Spiro was not incredible to me until I started a double cleaning. I look back now and say: “Oh, it was free -Toy my makeup.” The gentle Cetaphil cleaner and bioderma h2O sensitivity are my base go-tops, but there are times that I have cleaned with both of them and I still had Madep on my face. That is why I recently presented the skinfix oil cleaner to my routine: it is a more efficient way to get everything out of my face.

The Skincenical Ferúlico CE is really good and probably vitamin C serum that always used money was not a factor. That said, the allies of the vitamin C serum allies of 35% of the skin are cheaper, it was thought that it is not very different, and I really feel and see its effect. The clindamycin phosphate gel and a gel of azelaic acid have also been excellent to improve the texture of my skin and keep my acne at bay while taking a Spiro break. I don’t know if the combination is a long -term solution, but I really wanted to change things to see how my skin was after turning the medication for a decade. Ah, and approximately once a month, I use the Babyfacial Sukari of Elephant, especially around my T zone. It gets a little, but it is not too crazy.

I love good moisturizers who do not break the bank. I am constantly looking at the cost of Asence because I consider on the side of putting a lot. Recently, I have been alternating between the Laneige water bank, which I tend to use more at night and the peptide cream of Skinfix. As for sunscreens, I obtained a solar tester or protector incessant supergoop earlier this year and I really liked it. It is almost like a makeup primer because it has a child or a blurred effect on your skin.

Step by waves with my devices. I have had a NOFACE for several years. I get quite swollen, and I think it helps, but sometimes I use it as a face massage, which is not absolutely the point. Honestly, if I really am in case of trouble, putting my face in an ice bowl or even under cold water of the tap is excellent. And since I get quite red, I have rosacea, I obtained an omnilux LED mask, which has made a real difference.

I have Botox in my elevens in Tribeca Park Dermatology. I started getting it in 2019, just before pandemic. Maybe I go twice a year, but I have years of legs that I have omitted it completely. Honestly, I was very worried about wrinkles, but rather, the Elevens hurt. I always say that I have a ‘rest reading face’. I hold a lot of tension to the point where it is painful.

MAKE UP
I do not use so much day by day makeup. The kosas developer in 2.3N It works very well for me, and I try to fix the eyebrows so they don’t look crazy. If I’m going to advance a little for an event or something, I love the dior Skin Skin Glow base in 2n. It does not weigh heavy, and it is great to cover my redness.

On my cheeks, mainly I use Mario’s Soft Pop Bush Stick makeup in Pale petal. It is this pink and gum pink that is so beautiful. And I also have the blush duo of the main headlines of Patrick Ta Not too muchwhich is a pink top -colored combo. Meanwhile, I never make an intense contour, but I like the contour of Victoria Beckham in Marble Because it is very thin and precise, and you can use it to contour in a really subtle way. Westman Atelier’s contour in Cookie It also works very well with my bronzeros. Speaking of that, I recently bought makeup from Mario’s tanning serum in Mario in Light. I love the way it advances, it looks really natural and is very easy to combine.

I have made a trip with different eyelashes, and honestly I feel that curling my eyelashes is deposited when I am trying to curl them. Is the room wet? Did they just take a shower? Is it cold? But I still find that Shiseidos is the best for me. I bought the weird beauty ride after listening to great things about the brand in general. I have a hard time continuing with a mask. For some reason, I feel that they stop working after a while, Althegh maybe that Meeeans only have to buy a new one. But so far, I like how spongy I rare makes your eyelashes. The Rímel de la Torre 28 is better to lengthen them.

As for the eyebrows, mine are quite intense. I have to be careful or I may seem to Groucho Marx quite fast. I was using anastasia eyebrows Beverly Hills, but I felt that my eyebrows needed a little more filling, so I have come to the eyebrow pencil. Soft brown. I also use abh eyebrow freezing gel. Apart from that, I make them in Carrie Lindsey Beauty once a month, I don’t touch them myself.

Growing up, my lips were really red and I was aware of them. I also have a big smile and I can look like Mrs. Pac-Man if I am not careful, so I discarded the lipstick. Real had decided that he would not use any lip product for my wedding, but then the wonderful woman made my makeup made me use Charlotte Tilbury’s Cheat Lner Pillow talkAnd it really coincides with the color of my lip, so I still use it. And recently, I bought the Bisou Balm of Violette_FR in Cambric Because I knew I was going to do more promotional work for my book. I wanted something really subtle, and has definitely delivered. It makes enough difference that I feel good.

Hair
I dyed my hair for a long time, until I realized that I was essentially dyeing my natural color. It’s like when I was in high school and straightened my hair and then one day I thought: ‘Oh, my hair is straight. What am I doing? “Most of the things do not care that I am bright and that I am using a shampoo and a conditioner for which they work, and no, no, I. The last time I got a cut-I go to Union Beauty Salon in Park Slope: they used the shampoo and the television conditioner of R+co, and I loved how my hair dried up the air later. Especially when I feel that it smells like the city, I rock it with the rare fragrance of beauty.

My hair becomes quite curly, I always have a halo or hair growth around my face, but the domestic with the pomade dart de R+co, which is a discovery recently. R+CO’s bidirectional mirror oil is also quite good. I use a little at my extremes when they look a little scruff or simply need an additional dose of life. And then I dry the hair approximately 99 percent of the time, so the towels are very important to me. I usually used Volo’s hero towel, which was a recommendation from my mother. It is incredibly absorbent. Then I continued with Crown’s towel. I love its texture and it really makes a difference in how my hair dries. But if I stay without time or I need to tame a strange bulge, dry it with my ghd dryer, or if I am Reaxly Pressing for the time, I will use the Revlon brush.

Nails
There is something in the nail polish, maybe how much it lasts or how I saw me, but at a certain point, I decided that it was going to be a person who does not tell him color. In addition, as a writer, I feel that my hands are involved in many things, and manicures seemed more work. I am very happy with this decision. But I love pedicures with the Lincoln Park of Opi after dusk. “
