TFG DEPUTY EDITOR AND BEAUTY DIRECTOR CHELSEA KAPLAN GIVES YOU
THE GOODS ON GETTING GORGEOUS



Editor

I hate the look of foundation, but feel like my skin tone could use a little evening out. Do you have a good product to recommend?—Amy, Chicago, IL
I swear by tinted moisturizer, which is really an ultra-sheer version of foundation that still gives your skin an even-toned
glow. When you wear it, you don’t feel like you’re suffocating your pores, and as many contain SPF, when you wear it,
you’re actually protecting your skin while you perfect it. If your skin tends to be dry to normal, check out Bobbi Brown’s
SPF 15 Tinted Moisturizer ($40, www.bobbibrowncosmetics.com). If you’re ultra dry, try Bobbi’s Extra SFP 25 Tinted
Moisturizing Balm ($48, www.bobbibrowncosmetics.com). Oily and acne-prone? Laura Mercier’s Oil-Free Tinted Moisturizer
is your key to happiness ($42, www.sephora.com).

I hate high heels. Are flats still in this fall?—Beverly, San Diego, CA
Tory Burch flats Absolutely! If you choose the right style, you can find all sorts of flats this season that are not only comfy, but chic too. My favorite variety is the Reva Ballet Flats from socialite-turned-fashion designer Tory Burch. I own a few pairs and they were all I rocked last fall. They come in a variety of colors and patterns, and each pair retails for about $200 each. Check them out at www.toryburch.com. I dare you to not become addicted too!


I love big bags and I cannot lie. Is it possible that a big bag that’s not terribly ugly or overwhelming-looking exists?—Margie, Pittsburgh, PA

I’m a big bag girl too, Margie. Honestly, what can you truly tote in a teeny purse? Metallics are really hot this fall, so why not opt for a big ‘ol sack that shines? I like Kooba’s Metallic Stella Tote ($595, www.eluxury.com) and also the more budget-friendly Devi Kroell for Target Tote in Anthracite ($49.99, www.target.com). You can stuff those babies to the brim, but they’re guaranteed to still look stylish swinging from your shoulder.
