less is more

 

I'd love to get away with no makeup and (gently) sun-kissed skin for the rest of my life, but as fate would have it, I need miracle-working beauty product back-up! Thanks to my fashion photographer identical twin sister, who essentially lives on photo shoots and works with many of the top makeup artists, who are always giving her personalized styling tips, I have a discerning curation of efficacious skin care and cosmetics. And thanks to Shopbop's rarely-held beauty sale, I just re-stocked my vanity with our (never-on-sale) faves for less! Let's start with the research-backed Augustinus Bader Rich Cream, an ultra deep daily moisturizing cream that makes my skin look noticeably smoother and more supple. Also amazing: Augustunus Bader's Eye Patch (for de-puffing my eyes!), Supergoop Glowscreen (yields Mediterranean glow year-round!), Ouai Hair Oil (no frizz!) and aloe-based, vitamin and omega-packed body lotion from Costa Brazil.
