To a certain degree, personality is a reflection of the company we keep. The upcoming Sephora biannual sale will make it easy to bring new influences into your routine—consider these permutations for starters...

The Prioritizer

In the mornings, it’s strictly business. Priorities are clear goals and cleansed skin, with many paths to success. Since time is crunched, your product team should be able meet your available bandwidth at any given moment. When the Zoom starts in 4, there’s time for ¹ Eadem’s mist for a light net of hydration, locked in with ² Youth To the People moisturizer. If only 2 minutes to spare, a swipe of ³ Sophie’s pads and ⁴ SPF on face followed by ⁵ Carea Cream everywhere else will more than suffice. After that internal debrief, you’re ready to make some executive decisions. Bring on the day.

The Escape Artist

When you want to escape from your real-life narrative and dive into a fictional one, a warm bath and a few well-chosen products will get you into literary-character mode. The ⁶ Rōz hair mask turns regular old ‘hair’ into ‘tousled tresses’ or even a ‘cascading mane’. Under the silky slip of ⁷ Summer Fridays’ and ⁸ Rhode’s cleansers, face acquires the classic ‘moonlit gleam’. And with the gentle glycerin glide of ⁹ Comfort Cleanse, body skin transforms from a functional dermal barrier to ‘pure alabaster’, with the sculptural suppleness of Bernini marble.

The Life of
the Party

To let creativity thrive, one must relinquish a little bit of control and tidiness. When you’re getting ready for a social outing, it’s about managing chaos and getting out everything you could need at hand. Lips can be layered with ¹⁰ Glossier and ¹¹ Eadem balms, hair is polished with ¹² Crown Affair air-dry cream, and body receives the full smoothing treatment from ¹³ Green Banana Buffing Bar and ¹⁴ Smoothing Solution. Just as the best evenings out feature a little unplanned magic, and so do the preceding routines. Let go and let glam.
