What’s your full name?
Rae Chen.  I blog at theNotice.

How old are you?
A lady never tells her true age! Under twenty.

Where do you live?
Alberta, Canada. (Hey, if I hate the prairies, am I still a prairie girl? Hmm…)

What’s your biggest beauty concern?
This varies a lot for me, but most of the time it’s my skin: it’s always been quite clear, and I’d really like to keep it that way! In the winter, though, I’m all about hydration. Everything from my hair to my skin dries out, and it’s turned me into a complete product and lip balm addict. I’m always on the hunt for something better!

Who’s your favorite beauty icon/beauty idol?
Do makeup artists count as beauty icons? Because if they do, I’m totally picking François Nars. I love his take on beauty, from the gorgeous-but-not-stereotypically-pretty models he chooses to the fact that the looks he creates are always experimental, always playing with shapes, and always pushing the boarders. I pretty much went into a week-long happiness coma when he returned to the runway for Marc Jacobs‘ fall collection!

How much time do you normally spend on your hair and makeup?
Most mornings, probably twenty minutes, tops. For going out, though, I give myself at least forty minutes!

What’s the one beauty product you could never live without?
Blush. My favorites vary practically on a daily basis, but the ones I always return to are MAC Harmony (for contouring) and Lancome Pink Fresque.

Where’s your favorite place to go shopping for beauty products?
Sephora. The product range is phenomenal, and it’s one of the few places I can shop the way I prefer to — undisturbed!
