What's your favorite quick-fix beauty trick? "A touch of blush and a red lip always brightens up your look."

What type of beauty girl are you—minimal on the makeup, obsessed with skincare, all about hair, or a tried-and-true beauty junkie?
"I am a blend of 'minimal on the makeup' and 'obsessed with skincare.' I think these two go hand-in-hand. Since I'm not into wearing a ton of makeup, I focus on keeping my skin tone looking fresh."

Do you switch your makeup looks depending on how you wear your hair?

Where do you get your makeup and hair inspirations? Do you have any icons?
"I am completely inspired by street style and the runway. For all things makeup and hair, my go-to beauty blog is Into The Gloss."

Do you use any special tricks to combat your hair issues? Do you have any secret hairstyling weapons? "I'm super low-maintenance when it comes to hair. I NEVER use a blow dryer (I definitely have to thank my parents for giving me hair that pretty much air-dries straight). I do like to use a little product to give my hair texture and body. I use Bumble and bumble Surf Spray and Grooming Creme."

What are your favorite makeup and skincare products and why? "I live for my Kiehl's Lip Balm #1 (I wear it underneath my red lipstick) and black Chanel waterproof eyeliner. I've tried millions of different types of skincare products and these are the old-faithfuls that I rely on: At night, I use Aveeno Clear Complexion Cream Cleanser and Daily Moisturizer, and I moisturize head-to-toe every night with Alba Botanica Very Emollient Body Lotion. In the morning, I wake up with a spritz of JurIique Rosewater Balancing Mist (it's an awesome way to start the day), and then I use Mario Badescu Skincare Enzyme Cleansing Gel and Oil Free Moisturizer SPF 17."

What's something you'd NEVER try in the beauty realm?
"Plastic surgery. It's not my thing."
