I’m pretty good with skincare and makeup, but doing my hair is where I fall flat. No pun intended. Everytime I do my hair, I think about how nice it would be if a little angel would to tell me what to do next and hold the curling iron at the right angle. Enter Kirti Tewani. She won’t live in your bathroom, but she will help you unfuss your beauty routine and teach you to do your hair. Dreams do come true! Kirti has been in the industry for over 10 years and has experience with a variety of skin and hair types and brands including La Prairie, Shiseido, Kheil’s, Lancome, Dior, Clarins, and Dr. Hauschka through print, runway, video, tv, and appearances. With her distinctive style and practical application, Kirti is an excellent resource for your skin and beauty needs and has extensive knowledge of color theory. So if you have a problem, Kirti will solve it.

As a bit of a skincare junkie, I just love lotions and potions. And if Q the Stylist was a beauty line – Glossier might be the one I would be.

Hers & His Look: The Easy Days of Summer

Hers

While the spring played coy with us here in NYC, summer has recently arrived to settle the score. And, as seemingly the only person from Chicago who actually enjoyed the summer humidity, I have always welcomed the breezy days of summer and the heat that comes with it. I love putting my hair on air-dry, giving my turtlenecks a rest, and baring my arms in floaty silks and dresses.
