Our commerce editor, Sarah Han, finds joy in skin prep and her curated makeup routine. To put it simply: Marie Kondo-style—makeup sparks joy. I thrive on the transformative powers of discoloration-smoothing concealer, melt-into-your-skin cream blush, and bold lipstick. I'm constantly trying new products for my job, so if something makes its way into my makeup bag, you know it fits into my ideal lifestyle (maybe yours too)! Skin care is the foundation and I take it very seriously. The dewier and bouncier, the better—and SPF, always. If you swear by [Asian sunscreens]( or think [purple eyeliner]( completes any look, your beauty edit probably looks [just like mine](.     When you buy something through our retail links, we may earn an affiliate commission. [Tower 28 Swipe Serum Concealer]( This is my favorite concealer, full stop. It's hydrating, doesn't crease throughout the day, feels incredibly lightweight, and covers everything I want a concealer to cover. [SHOP NOW]( [Ellis Brooklyn Sun Fruit Eau de Parfum]( I love that this perfume is a perfect, cohesive blend of fruity and floral—not dipping into one or the other too heavily. [SHOP NOW]( [Iconic London Super Smoother Blurring Skin Tint]( I usually stick to concealer, but nine out of ten times if I'm wearing an all-over base, it's this lightweight-as-heck skin tint. It's one of those rare formulas where I can apply it with my fingers and it looks flawless—a big win for hurried mornings. [SHOP NOW]( [Caudalie Vinergetic C+ Instant Detox Clay Mask]( This mask is gentle but effective—the pink clay really attends to each pore and sucks the gunk out of them. My combination skin always feels like it's been reset after a quick 10-minute sesh. [SHOP NOW](     [Urban Decay Moondust Eyeshadow in Space Cowboy]( Space Cowboy is an icon, a legend, and she IS the moment. You will never pry me away from sparkly eye shadows and this light champagne-y,gold shade is stunning on its own, yet not in your face—therefore, it's my perfect everyday eye look. [SHOP NOW]( [Maybelline New York Lash Sensational Sky High Washable Mascara]( I had never been loyal to a mascara before I tried Sky High. Almost every mascara I've ever tried clump my already-sparse lashes and simply looked too dramatic for my taste. Sky High makes my lashes look fluttery, lengthened, and separated—and True Brown is especially ideal for a soft, subtle effect. [SHOP NOW](   [Reader Question] What’s the best self tanner? — asks anonymous Allure reader My personal favorite is the [+ Lux Unfiltered N°32 Hydrating Self-Tanning Cream](. It's a light, moisturizing body lotion that gives you non-streaky, natural-looking results. The best part: it doesn't have that typical self tanner smell! The rose and santal scent options are both lovely. I also highly recommend exfoliating beforehand and using a [tanning mitt]( for easy, even application. — Allure digital art director Ingrid Fowler Have a question for Sarah? Ask it [here]( and she'll try to answer it in next week's My Beauty Edit newsletter!   [Beyond Beauty] [Nuuly Subscription]( [Instead of buying relatively cheap clothes I get sick of, I can satisfy my urge to shop with a rotating lineup of rentals (and experiment more with style!) and save my hard-earned money for pieces I know are in it for the long haul. Girl math.]( [SHOP NOW]( [Hatch Restore 2]( [I've gotten to the point where white noise is a necessity for (hopefully) sufficient sleep. I finally traded up my run-of-the-mill sound machine for this snazzy gadget, which lets me customize nighttime and morning routines. (Hello, gradual sunrise! Goodbye, seasonal depression?)]( [SHOP NOW]( [De'Longhi La Specialista Arte Espresso Machine]( [I'm far from being a morning person but the one thing I do look forward to is brewing a double shot, steaming some milk, and adding my sugar-free syrup of choice with my La Specialista espresso machine. I may have very limited counterspace but I'm never giving up my caffeine-providing bb.]( [SHOP NOW](   [Best Microcurrent Devices: a film strip collage of Allure editors testing out NuFace, Ziip, and TheraFace devices]( [The Best Microcurrent Devices Are Like a Rewind Button for Skin]( [The Best Microcurrent Devices Are Like a Rewind Button for Skin]( [READ MORE]( [READ MORE]( [3 cosmetic items overlapping on a brown background.
