Our shopping market editor, Angela Trakoshis, gives us a look into her high-low makeup bag. I wasn't always a beauty girl—as a matter of fact, growing up, I wanted to be a pilot. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd land testing beauty products and telling people what's worth their buck as a job, yet here I am, and I wouldn't change a damn thing. I believe my beauty persona is classified into three words: tan, glossy, and sleek. I always need to be tan, I love a glossy lip and a dewy complexion, and a sleek hair look is my go-to. The beauty industry is crowded. These days, it seems like everybody is launching a brand. I spend my 9 to 5 searching the internet for the best beauty finds to bring to you, our lovely Allure readers. So trust me, this stuff is good.     When you buy something through our retail links, we may earn an affiliate commission. [Chanel Le Lift Pro Crème Volume]( Even though I’m only 28, my biggest fear is wrinkles so I’ll try anything that claims to prevent or treat them. This luxe cream tightens, plumps, and boosts collagen so fine lines are never a worry. [SHOP NOW]( [Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash]( Meet the only body wash that doesn't break me out or give me a rash. This drugstore staple keeps me fresh and clean all day. [SHOP NOW]( [Nars Soft Matte Concealer]( Add a pea-sized amount to the pimple, let it sit for a few minutes (I'll usually do my brows during this time) and lightly blend it out before applying foundation over it for ultimate coverage. [SHOP NOW]( [Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patch Acne Patches]( My hack for covering zits: during the day, to cover up, applying a pea-sized amount of this Nars concealer to the pimple and letting it sit for a few minutes before blending it with my favorite foundation. At night, a Hero Cosmetics pimple patch to suck up all the gunk. Thank me later. [SHOP NOW](     [Real Techniques Miracle 2-In-1 Dual Sided Powder Puff]( I keep one of these in every bag for touch-ups on the go. The pink and fluffy side is for powder, while the orange and spongy side is for liquids and creams. It does it all. [SHOP NOW]( [Sabon Patchouli Lavender Vanilla Shower Oil]( My everything shower always ends with drenching my wet, clean body with this shower oil to reveal soft, smooth, and never-greasy skin. [SHOP NOW](   [Reader Question] What's your go-to anti-frizz product and how do you use it? — asks Anonymous Allure reader The million dollar question! For me, fighting frizz starts in the shower with really hydrating products (like this [Hydro Rush Mask]( from Amika). It gives me a juicy, hydrated head of hair to work with—then I follow up by sealing all that good moisture in with a great styling product like [Color Wow’s Dream Coat]( if I’ll be using heat, or an air drying cream from [Briogeo]( or [Curlsmith]( that defines without weighing down my curls. After that, I keep my fingers crossed that the humidity gods play nice! — Allure shopping director Shanna Shipin Have a question for Angela?
