Ask Elle: Makeup & Starbucks

I'm back with another edition of ASK ELLE! I'm answering your beauty and personal questions. Enjoy!




618Mom: Should you buy different foundations in summer and winter?
In general, yes. Usually our skin will get a shade (maybe two) darker, and of course if you self-tan you'll need one to match. How do you know if your skin tone has changed? Match your foundation to your neck, never your wrist.


Tanya Lovetere: What was your very first high end beauty purchase? I purchased a Bobbi Brown stick foundation, BB lipstick in Brownie, and Benetint mini the first time I ever went into Sephora.
Meliora! I'd be curious to know in what order you put on make-up (foundation, power, eyeshadow, blush, etc etc) and why? Kerry @ Till Then Smile Often I would love to know what your morning makeup routine is. Almost daily I apply moisturizer or primer, do my eye shadow and liner, foundation, concealer, blush, mascara, and lip stick/gloss/etc. I usually don't powder. It takes me 20 min, tops.
Tj and Amy Congrats! Do you have a favorite makeup artist? or a favorite eyeshadow palette? Kevyn Aucoin was the first makeup artist I'd really heard of. He still remains a favorite for me. I also love Sutan Amrull and Matthu Andersen. I have a lot of faves for artists and palettes! I would repurchase the original LORAC PRO in a heartbeat. Love it.

kellyr78 My question is what SPF # lotion is best for daily use? Trailer hood Chic Fave non-greasy sunscreen At least 15. I am really LOVING the La Roche-Posay Mineral foundation--Ultra Light Sunscreen Fluid. They have it in 60 as well. I got this at Target and it's pricey--over $20, but it's SO GOOD. It's very thin but it doesn't break you out. I highly recommend it.

Rebecca Jo What is your typical Starbucks order :) The new S'mores frappe is AMAZING! In love with it!
