Morning routine: 
This is my daily go-to routine. I like my skin to be prepared for my long workdays with an easy “pretty” makeup look that is signature to my beauty philosophy (a touch of sparkle!). I like a simple eye look for the day to save time, but simple does not mean boring!

First, I use Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser (inexpensive and great for my sensitive skin). Then I apply Tarina Tarantino Pearl Glow Primer in Nude, smoothing it over my entire face and on lids as a shadow primer. Infused with crushed pearl powder, it give skin the prettiest glow! Next I mix a few drops of MAC Face and Body Foundation into my moisturizer for sheer long-lasting coverage. To brighten and conceal, I use Tarina Tarantino  Eye Dream Hyperlight under my eyes. This is my liquid spotlight, so I also use it around my nose and chin to give extra light to my skin. For brows I use IT Cosmetics Brow Power. On my cheeks I apply Tarina Tarantino Dollskin Cream Blush duo in Coral Cameo, blended from apple to cheekbone. I have been dreaming of this cream blush forever—it blends effortlessly and lasts all day. I also apply a whisper of Tarina Tarantino Dollskin Cheek Blush in Feather just on the apples of my cheeks. Layering blush may seem like overkill, but if done correctly, it creates a dimensional, natural look. I brush Tarina Tarantino Sparklicity Pure in Nude over my lids with my #43 Fuchsia Revolution pigment brush; the formulation of these pigments contains a microcrystalline shimmer that seems to float over the skin and works on all skin types and ages. Finally, I use my Tarina Tarantino Eye Dream Hyperliner in Locketbook (a deep shimmering brown) on the upper lashline and finish with Tarina Tarantino Fleur De Lash Mascara in Black Opal.

Overnight skin ritual:
I remove my makeup with Neutrogena Deep Clean Makeup Remover Wipes and cleanse my skin with Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser. Then I moisturize with Bvlgari Intensive Regenerating Night Cream; this is my big splurge in my beauty routine because it is simply the best night cream I have ever used. I always apply conditioning lip balm before bed; the one I am using now is a lab sample of a new one I am developing and it’s fantastic, so stay tuned!

Who cuts/colors your hair:
Janine Jarman at Hairroin Salon.  She does everything possible to minimize the damage of processing with her expertise, and my hair always feels and looks amazing.

Hair habit:
WEN Cleansing Conditioner and Styling Creme. If I am wearing my hair natural (curly) I use Oribe Supershine Light Moisture cream.

Favorite eye look:
For day, I like a nude shimmer with Tarina Tarantino Sparklicity Pure Shimmer pigments; for night, I love a bejeweled smoky eye with the Tarina Tarantino Emerald Pretty Eyeshadow Palette.

Go-to lipstick:
Tarina Tarantino Conditioning Lip Sheen in Queen Alice or Watermelon Wow. My lip sheens give long-wearing color and make your lips feel baby soft.

Nail color of the moment:
It is always fuchsia and my favorite is a Les Vernis Chanel color called Fuchsia but it’s discontinued, so I am working on my own to exactly match my hair color. For practical purposes, my nails have to be pink, because my hair color always transfers and tints them pink anyway. #fuchsiatressedgirlproblems

Signature scent:
Petit Cherie by Annick Goutal.

“Never without” product:
Blush. If there is no time for anything else, I at least put on some blush for instant “pretty.”

Secret to staying young and beautiful:
No corny cliches here—the only way to stay young and healthy is to exercise, eat healthy foods (most of the time) and take care of your skin. Oh, and splurge on a good bed for that very important beauty sleep!
