A Beauty Minute With Sophie Auster
9 years ago by
Morning: My morning routine is simple. I’ve been using Alba Hawaiian Face Wash and Aveeno Ageless Moisturizer. The cream is nice and thick but not greasy, and really good for the winter.
During the days I wear Laura Mercier‘s Tinted Moisturizer in cashew beige, Laura Mercier’s Under Eye Concealer, Chanel Black Mascara, and Laura Mercier’s Eyebrow Pencil. When I was 15, I plucked off almost all of my eyebrows and turned them from thick, even specimens, to uneven, overly arched tadpoles. It wasn’t until a friend’s mother told me I was going to ruin my face that I stopped the over tweezing and let them grow out. Now I rarely pluck them and actually extend them with the eyebrow pencil. I’m happy they came back! I think I have mastered the “no makeup makeup look”. For me, it’s all about applying it by your window in natural light. I remember slapping makeup on my face in my bathroom in high school and being horrified when I caught my reflection in a car rearview mirror on the street. No one wants to look like they are wearing a lot of makeup and I think it actually ages you.
Day: In my bag I have lip balm and Laura Mercier’s Cover Up Compact. I have naturally dark eyes so this helps me look alive!
Night: My makeup in the evening is similar to what I wear during the day but I tend to go a little more bold in the evenings, especially when I have a performance. When I’m singing a red lip is really nice because it draws attention to your mouth. I have also been into a Sofia Loren cat eye that I am trying very hard to master with liquid liner. If I’m going to go heavy on the eye makeup, I keep my lips nude. Otherwise you run the risk of looking a little gaudy. My philosophy with makeup is ‘less is more’!
At night, I usually take off my makeup with Pond’s Cold Cream and then wash my face with the Alba cleanser, use Neutrogena toner, and then I use a Chanel night cream. It seems to keep my skin in pretty good shape.
Love hearing her routine!

It surprised me a lot that your beauty routine wasn’t so complicated as I thought – it’s nice to know :)

Her skin looks flawless! I know all about applying make up in the bathroom and getting paranoid on the tube, thinking if I look like a clown :)

excusez-moi, je ne veux vraiment pas être désagréable, mais ça me semble toujours assez peu intéressant de savoir que telle ou telle fille de toute façon sublime utilise tel ou tel produit la journée ou le soir… Ce sont de vraies beautés, quoi qu’elles mettent sur leur peau ou leurs cheveux et je me demande si la lectrice lambda se sent concernée par ce type de billets, mais ce n’est que mon avis.
How beautiful she is : – )

Love the negligé look, make-up no-make-up style. It suits her a lot and makes her even more beautiful. Nude and natural styles are always a good idea.

C’est la fille de Paul Auster et Siri Hustvedt???
Est-ce que l’on pourrait avoir des Beauty Minute avec des personnalités un peu plus âgées ? Genre la quarantaine … Merci !
Même requête qu’Elise, merci!!! Avec en plus un entretien beauté d’une française, avec des produits que l’on pourrait trouver en France… Un grand merci d’avance!
Thanks a lot! So helpful :). Check out our online magazine!

I agree with Elise and Lucie. I am much more interested in and inspired by the beauty routine of women in their 40s or older with great skin. Women in their 20s who are naturally gorgeous will be gorgeous regardless of their beauty regimen. Merci par avance!
Ah oui, that too, that’s why I prefer Garance over magazines like Elle that are geared to women in their 20s. I’m in my mid-30s. More women in their 30’s and 40’s please!
She’s beautiful and has impressive lineage, but if I hear once more about making up either eyes or lips, “sinon c’est ‘too much'” I think I’ll scream. Really, we all know this by now! We also have had “less is more” and “effet no-makeup” drummed into us over and over. Just tell us what products you like without these cliches.
I’ve been working on mastering the famous cat eye with my favorite liquid liner because after going natural for so long I really miss some eyeliner. Day or night! It takes some serious practice! haha. xo, Amanda
