Phillip Picardi

The one thing I absolutely, positively cannot live without is...
"I'm going to go ahead and rule out the obvious answers to this question—family, love, and the like—and get down to the nitty gritty: Concealer. If I have no time in the morning, if I'm going to the gym, if I have to hop out to grab groceries, I always reach for a good luminous concealer first. Ideally first in liquid format, then in a cream if necessary."

Current obsession...
"I am loving Charlotte Tilbury Wonderglow Instant Soft-Focus Beauty Flash. When Charlotte was telling us about the line, she said that it 'harnesses light and refracts it out so you're always glowing.' I actually laughed out loud because it sounded so ridiculous, but I was also slightly intrigued! I put a walnut-size amount all over my face before foundation and the results are amazing."

The one song I can listen to over and over...and over to is...
"I mean, basically anything by Beyoncé. Most importantly Resentment, Jealous, Irreplaceable, and the Flawless Remix with Nicki Minaj."

The latest trick I've picked up from the other R29 editors is...
"My coworker Maria just alerted me to Hada Labo Skin Plumping Gel Cream, which is a Japanese product that contains loads of hyaluronic acid. I'm pretty pumped to try it."
