From The Desk Of Vanessa Carlton: Top Shelf

Liberman is Vanessa Carlton’s latest solo set and fifth overall. With classical-motif tracks like “Blue Pool,” “Take It Easy” and backward-masking-dense closer “Ascension,” Carlton has seriously upped her game, and is now composing complex etudes that easily eclipse her chiming Grammy-nominated hit from 2002, “A Thousand Miles.” Carlton will be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our feature on her.

Carlton: I’ll do a super-quick beauty edit. This is very streamlined, but I’ll tell you my musts … For stage: Tarte clay foundation … fake individual lashes (I’m 35, and all my lashes are basically gone; it’s sad). Off stage: make sure a great facial spray like Eminence Stone Crop. Use before and after flights and before you do makeup and after … when you wake, all the time just spray some dew on. I think a facial mist absorbs so well into the skin. Also facial oil. I love Jordan Samuel. Morning and night. Just recently I went to a fancy Nashville facialist where apparently the secret to that shiny sheeny skin is dermaplaning, which basically mean you shave your face a couple times a week. The verdict is still out, but instead of doing drugs at night, I dermaplane. I don’t know; my skin looks pretty good, I guess.
