1) What beauty product has been a mainstay in your beauty regimen?
Gel Bronzer. I'm tanorexic and shun the sun. Gels bronzers (Guerlain Terracotta bronzing brush and Physician's Formula Organic Wear Liquid Bronzer) are the fastest, most idiot-proof way to get a believable fake!
2) What is one make up trend you will add to your look this Summer?
Boho beachy waves. Taking a breather from the blowdryer will give me so much free time!
3) What make up should we be adding to our "must have" list for this Fall 2008?
Daring makeup is baaack. Smoky eyes, cat eyes, chiseled cheekbones, blue eye shadow and red lips. Not all at once, of course!

DiorShow mascara, Cle de Peau concealer, Chanel Irreeale blush, various liquid liners and lip glosses, Shu Uemura lash curler, YSL Touche Eclat, Nars The Multiple in Copcabana and Maldives, Beauty Blender sponge, MAC mineral face powder, lots of Q-tips, those two bronzers, cherry Chapstick, several new products I'm testing.
