Must-Haves:
"There are so many reasons why I am passionate about this product, but I can sum them up in two words: It works. I use the Retrouve Intensive Replenishing Facial Moisturizer, $445, twice a day. The formulation is power-packed with anti-aging ingredients and refortifies the skin's natural hydrating layer, leaving my skin revitalized and radiant. Thanks to Intensive Replenishing Facial Moisturizer, I no longer feel inclined to wear foundation because my skin glows all on its own. This is my desert-island product for sure.
Because of the Intensive Replenishing Facial moisturizer, I haven't worn foundation in years, but if I have a special event to go to and want to look very polished, I reach for Natura Bisse The Cure Sheer Cream, $190. It covers all the bases with its sheer color-adapt pigments (to even out the skin tone), anti-aging ingredients and SPF 20.
They say that good things come in small packages, and Kevyn Aucoin The Sensual Skin Enhancer, $48, is a real dynamo. I like to use the concealer to lighten the circles under my eyes when I've been burning the candle at both ends, but I have friends who swear by this product as an all-over foundation or to contour the skin. Because this product is quite dense, I find that a little goes a long way. I like to mix it with Retrouve's Revitalizing Eye Concentrate, $415, to sheer it out a bit before I apply it to my skin. I learned this trick from the terrific makeup artists at the Kevyn Aucoin counter at Bergdorf Goodman in New York City.
While I tend to avoid sun exposure like the plague, I do appreciate the appearance of sun-kissed skin, which Tom Ford's Shimmering Body Oil, $98, delivers in spades! This lightweight oil hydrates the skin and blankets it in the thinnest veil of golden sparkle. Oh, and did I mention it smells like heaven, too? After applying it to my body, I always make sure to run some of this gorgeous oil through my hair to help tame frizzies or fly-aways and to give my mane a soft halo-like effect.
Eons ago, I worked for Prescriptives, and they made the first red lipstick I ever loved -- a metallic scarlet -- that I pined over for years after they discontinued it. I was forever on the hunt for the elusive metallic red that made my heart sing, and then one day I discovered Lipstick Queen The Metals Lipstick, $24, in Red Metal. I adore it. (Note to the folks at Lipstick Queen, please do not discontinue.) It is so easy to wear, and I use it as both lip color and blush, blending it onto the apples of my cheeks with my fingers. As I get older, I tend to avoid heavy mattes and gravitate instead to more light-reflective pigments."
