The Sundance Film Festival is just around the corner, and you’ll need a stylish bag filled with some essentials to help you stay fresh through every screening, panel and party.
Here are Fashion and Beauty Correspondent Autumn Thatcher’s picks:
1. The gunmetal studs and accents of red on the Hammitt Kyle bag speak to my punk-rock heart while keeping things subtle. I love that it’s got plenty of storage spots for things that every reporter needs (think snacks, pens, a notebook, mints, etc.,) and those beauty essentials that help me feel ready to interview some of the world’s most beautiful people.
2. Lancôme’s La Vie Est Belle perfume—warm vanilla accompanied by soothing scents of jasmine makes for an aromatic experience that brings a sense of confidence and calm amid the chaos of Sundance.
3. Tried-and-true shadows elevate any look—and dazzle at after-hours events where photographers are buzzing around. We love Bodyography’s glitter pigments.
4. Setting spray is an essential for locking in makeup at the start of the day and using as needed to refresh what Mother Nature has messed with. Urban Decay’s All Nighter setting spray will keep your makeup in place for up to 24 hours.
5. Shine plus that tingling, oh-so-good lip plumping sensation quickly brings lips to life. Wear Kissio’s plumper alone or on top of your favorite seasonal lip stain.
6. Trekking up and down Main Street in cold, dry climates has taught me one valuable lesson: bring lotion. Aveda hand relief offers various scents and moisturizing intensity.
7. Bye Bye Redness cream by iT Cosmetics conceals red splotches that surface after a full day in and out of the winter elements.
8. EltaMD’s sunscreen—tinted or clear—is a must-have any time of year. Yes, you can burn, even if the sun’s hidden by clouds.
9. Lights, reflection, action! This Mila mirror has everything you need to reapply makeup (or check your teeth) anywhere, anytime—good lighting included.
