Find your skin type with a half-hour test at the sink, then build a short routine on it: a cleanser and moisturizer to suit, sunscreen every morning, and new products one at a time.
Christina Galanis
Founder and makeup artist
Christina Galanis has worked as a makeup artist for fourteen years, mostly at weddings: hundreds of brides, from the trial to the last touch-up before the ceremony. She started out giving facials in a day spa, and she still preps skin before she reaches for color.
The brand carries her name, and she picks every formula and shade in The Veils, its line of sheer color. She writes the Skincare, Makeup and Bridal Beauty sections, from a first routine to the wedding-morning kit.
