This installment of Taking It to the Streets: Courtney Casgraux Camplin. A routine refined over years of trial — the kind that reads as polished without ever telegraphing ‘made up.’
The pattern this week is the discipline of subtraction. Each year of routine refinement is a year of taking another step out, not adding one in.
The kept
A great cleanser, vitamin C serum, SPF, mascara, a creamy lip. Five products. Seven minutes.
The discarded
The contour palette. The setting spray. The brow pomade. The third lip color. Everything that promised to add and instead subtracted.
The takeaway
The polished face is rarely the most made-up one.
