Ingrid Fowler's Beauty Edit

"My approach to beauty is to do as little as possible to look like a sun-kissed mermaid—with a corporate gig. I love tanning drops, highlighter sticks, and an (almost) zero-effort hair routine. Here are a few of my favorite products that give me a glow.”– Ingrid Fowler, senior art director
