BEAUTY REPORT

The downside of being a beauty writer is that people always assume that I’m
judging them—that their makeup is not enough or too much, or that the products
they are using are somehow the wrong ones. The truth is I’m always curious
about self-care—because I find infinite delight in the process (most days). When
someone pulls lipstick, hand cream, or face wash out of their bag, I want to know
what it is, why they use it, and most importantly, if I need it.
Taking care of yourself can be a little treat every day, whether your routine is
super simple or totally high maintenance. In this issue, we turned to our readers
for their go-to favorites. Not surprisingly, the products are as unique as the read-
ers that use them. Here we take a virtual peek inside their makeup bags. Hope
you find your new favorite!
