Sarah Kinonen's Beauty Edit

“I'd like to think I'm a laid-back person, but my husband, therapist, and literally every other person in my life would beg to differ. (Oops.) My beauty aesthetic, however, is fairly low-maintenance. I follow the same daily routine and hardly ever stray: fluffed-up, feathery brows, loads of cream blush, and super glowy skin. The most high-maintenance aspect of my routine is keeping up with my long, blonde hair that gets highlighted a few times a year, as well as visiting my dermatologist every four months for Botox injections. These products—leave-in conditioners, sunscreens, and lip oils—help keep my day-to-day routine grounded year-round.” — Sarah Kinonen, associate beauty director

Hello Sunshine

“I may not live there anymore, but there’s no denying I’m a Florida girl through and through. I love the sunshine, warm weather makes me giddy, and I miss the beach something fierce. But what I don’t love? Putting my fair-toned skin at risk—especially after a skin-cancer scare—each and every time I step outside. These sun-shielding products—both mineral and chemical sunscreens, SPF-packed makeup, and beachside streetwear—are my everyday essentials year-round, no matter the locale.”

Surf's Up

“For someone so terrified of open water, I love surfing. I'm not a surfer for sport by any means, but I love to dabble every now and then—and when I do, it's always with a rash guard. I love this long-sleeve option from Roxy because it lets me live out my Blue Crush dreams as a 34-year-old Brooklynite.”
