Don't Forget to Hydrate for the Perfect Makeup Base

"Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate from the inside out! Make a point to keep a large bottle of water with you to get your recommended daily intake. Embrace formulas rich in glycerin and ceramides. I like to use the Lancôme Advanced Genífique Serum ($109) because it hydrates my skin and protects it from external aggressors like pollution. It helps to strengthen my skin barrier and makes my skin look more radiant and healthy."

"House of Eldridge Pop-Up Studio guest artist and founder of brand Kimiko, Danielle Vincent, introduced me to her Super Fine Eyebrow Pencil ($31). I’ve been using little else on my brows recently. I love how the micro-fine tip allows for such precise application, making a feathered, natural brow foolproof. My shade is coffee."

The Best Routine for Strong, Healthy Lashes

"I’ve been successfully sticking to my New Year’s resolution of applying daily care to my lashes. The Lancôme Cils Booster Lash Revitalizing Serum ($49) is a great option as it contains a host of conditioning ingredients, amino acids, and glycerin. In the morning, I’m dressing my newly nourished lashes in a slick of Lancôme Idôle Mascara ($27). After applying a swipe of one of the new shades of L’Absolu Rouge Lipstick ($31), I’m ready to face the day!"

One of my lovely customers told me that it’s the only lip-care she uses whilst skiing, as it keeps her lips hydrated—even on the slopes."

All the Secrets to Her Signature "Patchwork" Skin Technique

The Lancôme Teint Idôle Ultra Wear Concealer ($29) has a precise tip that allows for targeted application. Only conceal where absolutely necessary, allow the beauty of your natural skin to shine through."
