What type of makeup do you use? Give us the dish on your favorite cosmetic finds… from your favorite mascara to the most decadent perfect lip gloss you’ve ever scored! I have a face full of freckles, small eyelids, and naturally pink lips...therefore I don't really use that much makeup because when I do I look like I am 'trying too hard.' My everyday makeup consists of Clinique under-eye concealer, bronzer, blush, and Naturally Glossy black mascara. On special occasions I usually wear a little bit of eyeshadow - shimmery pink, beige, or light purple - and sometimes a little black eyeliner. I call myself "makeup challenged" because I don't really know any cool techniques or tricks. If I am around my sister or best friend I usually entrust them to make me look pretty!
You have such beautiful skin, how do you take care of it?
I wash my face at least once a day using a deep pore cleansing face wash. My favorite is anything that makes my skin cool and tingly afterwards. I don't have a favorite brand because I switch it up every few months. I think my skin gets used to a face wash after about 6 weeks, because that is when I'll find a blemish or two. I use a daily moisturizer with a SPF 15 that I purchased from my dermatologist to protect my fair skin from the sun.
Will there be any new makeup techniques that you will be trying for your wedding day? I am putting my face in the hands of one of my bridesmaids!! We aren't going to have a trial run or anything - I just completely trust her to make me look pretty.
How do you keep your hair so healthy looking? Also, you’ve been growing your hair out for your wedding, any special tips that you can share? When I decided I wanted long shiny hair for my wedding day I asked my hairdresser for advice. She told me to take Biotin vitamins, shampoo only 3-4x a week, condition every day, and to give up my dreams of being a blonde. We dyed my hair dark and chopped off all the dead layers. I started from scratch and for the last year I have tried very hard to keep up with her prescribed regimen!
Nails on your wedding day: Demure or Colorful?
I think that I am probably going to stick to a simple pink and white french manicure. I currently have acrylic tips, but plan on switching to gel for the big day!
Where are your favorite places to shop?
I am a big online shopping stalker of clothing. I usually check my favorite websites for inspiration before I go shopping and then look for particular items in the actual stores. My favorite shops are Banana Republic, J.Crew, Forever 21, and little boutiques
What is your most prized “fashion” possession?
AHH - do I have to choose just one? My most current prized possesion are my brand new Tory Burch Reva Flats in black and gold! I don't own any shoes that cost over $100 so my TB Revas are my new babies. My mom bought them for my birthday and I love them so so much. Another prized possession is a vintage Fendi purse my mom and best friend gave me for my 21st birthday. It is a small hobo in different shades of orange with a big gold double F strap. I only bring that purse out on special occasions because if something happened to it I would probably die!
