Sara Foster is the ultra-cool, LA chic, open book kind of woman we love to follow. From creating Nobody Wants This to founding Favorite Daughter, she influences what’s on our TVs, what's in our closets and beyond. Now, as Bobbi Brown’s newest Global Ambassador, she’s also helping us refresh our makeup bags. We talked to Foster the week of the season two premiere of Nobody Wants This about makeup, style, skin care, her new role as Global Ambassador and what she'll be bringing to our TV screens next.
What are your favorite Bobbi Brown products?
“There are too many amazing Bobbi Brown products. The one I find myself reaching for time and time again is the Pot Rouge ($36). It’s such a versatile product and it’s perfect for on-the-go. Whatever extra product I have leftover from my cheeks, I can then apply to my lips. But nothing matters if the skin isn’t prepped correctly. The Vitamin Enriched Face Base ($69) is an integral part of the process and the absolute first step. I also have been running on way less sleep than normal lately, so let’s just say the Corrector Stick ($35) is my current best friend.”
How has your beauty and skin-care routine changed in your 40s as opposed to your 30s?
“My philosophy is really just keeping it simple. When I was younger, I loved the full-face makeup look, but as I’ve gotten older, that’s changed. I find myself drawn to more of a natural look, and I’ve embraced using minimal products that just get the job done. And skin, skin, skin. I invest in skin-care products with the most active ingredients and prioritize skin health more than I ever did in my 20s and 30s.”
I love your style and Favorite Daughter. How do you feel like you use makeup to complement your looks?
“I usually let the makeup amplify a look. If I’m wearing a great Favorite Daughter blazer and jeans, which to me is a natural, everyday look, I’m wearing natural, everyday makeup.”
We’re so excited for season two of Nobody Wants This. What did you learn from the experience of working on the show? What's next for your production company?
“It's obviously an out-of-body experience being involved in a show that has touched so many people and been in so many homes across the globe. Our production company, Fatigue Sisters, has multiple things in development. We just sold a comedy to Hulu about a destination wedding and will be announcing the others soon. We optioned Tinx’s book, which I believe will be the younger generation's new Sex and the City. I’ve learned a lot over the last few years. Mainly, how to improve time management and always sacrifice social life for family and sleep.”
