What's your skin-care routine like?
"Before I start in on my beauty regimen, you should know that I buy 98% of all my makeup, cleansers, and lotions from Walgreens. I have a few select items from Benefit that I insist on buying (Brow Zings, Erase Paste, Benetint, etc.) but otherwise I like it cheap and easy — like my Revlon ColorStay lipstick in Top Tomato.
Morning: I wash with a gentle cleanser (L’Oréal Youth Code Foaming Cleanser) and then throw on a light moisturizer (Olay Complete). Then I use Too Faced Primer to get my face ready for makeup and to keep it matte throughout the day.
Nighttime: It really matters how late it is and what I just got home from. Sometimes, I'm coming home at 3 a.m. from a two-show night and I am exhausted. Those are the nights I am bad. It’s a Ponds Cleansing Cloth kind of night. I keep them next to my bed. A quick wipe and then pass out! However, if I actually have my wits about me, I use L’Oréal Youth Code Foaming Cleanser with a wash cloth to exfoliate. Then, I use It’s Potent! Eye Cream from Benefit and L’Oréal Revitalift Night Cream."
