beauty off duty: nasya n. of the sewing studio

"The most important part to beautiful make up is that it starts with beautiful skin.  When I was a kid, my Dad was always on to “drink more water”.  Which now usually ends up being more like, lots of coffee instead of water, but at least I try. To take everything off at the end of the day, I use Almay oil free makeup remover pads.  They are so easy to take with you when you travel and they don’t leave your skin feeling all slimy. I also wash my face with Neutrogena, Acne Stress Control Foam Face wash.  My skin is very oily and tends to break out when I am under presser, so this comes in handy to help keep my skin in check.  I could definitely do a lot more to take care of my skin, but for now I mirror my same mind set as makeup, less is more."
