1. WHAT IS THE ONE SKINCARE PRODUCT YOU CAN NOT LIVE WITHOUT AND WHY?

I’m addicted to the Clarisonic Smart Profile Brush. That little gizmo gives my skin a deep cleanse, so that I’m squeaky clean 🙂

2. WHAT IS THE ONE COSMETIC PRODUCT YOU ALWAYS WEAR?

That would have to be concealer as it freshens up my complexion so that I look less tired. I use Benefit most days but opt for Vichy Dermablend when I really need help!

3. IF MONEY WAS NO OBJECT WHAT TREATMENT OR PRODUCT WOULD YOU LOVE TO TRY?

Anything that might actually rid my body of cellulite !

4. WHO STANDS OUT IN YOUR MIND AS A TRULY BEAUTIFUL PERSON?

I know it’s a cliche but beauty comes from within. Someone’s spirit is most visible through the eyes. My lovely pal Andrea Kissane gets my nomination as she is a beauty, inside and out.

5. WHAT IS THE BEST MAKE UP TIP YOU EVER RECEIVED?

Blend, blend blend .. that’s Derrick Carberry’s mantra!

6. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR FASHION STYLE?

Individual I hope!)

7. WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE DESIGNER?

I appreciate the work of Rei Kawakubo from Comme des Garcons as it’s visually so strong and her approach is almost architectural. Always strong, individual pieces that also have a sense of whimsy.
