Just ahead, how commerce writer Jennifer Hussein never dulls her natural sparkle. I’m a beauty girl through and through—how else do you think I ended up as a beauty writer? When getting ready, I live by this famed Party Monster quote: “Just throw a little glitter on it, honey, and go dancing.” I focus on enhancing my natural features rather than concealing them—a little sparkle always makes me look and feel my best. No matter my style du jour, my vanity essentials remain consistent, and nobody loves a luxury moment more than I do.
