The Beauty Expert Jamie Rosen’s Regimen

I’m always rotating my products depending on what my skin needs. In the morning, I use the Nuori Vital Foaming Cleanser, and at the end of the day I wash more thoroughly with something like Haoma’s Nourishing Cleansing Balm. I alternate between the Royal Fern Phytoactive Skin Perfecting Essence or Biologique Recherche Lotion P50. I’ve been using that since I became a beauty editor — P50 was like my indoctrination. Then I use Our Self’s Daily Renewal Cream, which is full of peptides, or a moisturizer from the Georgian brand Senself called Rich But Light — it has a perfect texture — and the Epara Eye Serum. I use my Ziip tool to do multiple treatments once or twice a week, and before events. My face feels off balance when I don’t. I always use SPF; I just finished Zitsticka’s Megashade SPF, or if I’m on the go I will spray on Habit’s No. 41 Mister. In the shower, I like Bastide Rose Olivier Natural Body Wash, and Soft Services’ Buffing Bar. It’s very satisfying. I just cut my hair short, so I’ve been trying styling products in a way I never had before. I like Philip B’s Weightless Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner and Charlotte Mensah’s Manketti Oil Pomade. I use Kevyn Aucoin Volume Mascara and RMS Lip2Cheek in Illusive. It is such a cool shade — it makes you look flushed in the winter and more tan in the summer. To finish, I love Hermès lipstick in Rouge Orange. There are a few scents I go back to: Aedes de Venustas’s salty, incense-like Copal Azur, and Maison d’Etto’s Macanudo, which is more grassy, and Costa Brazil just came out with a fragrance, Aroma, that is really nice.

In the two decades since Esha Soni Seetha began creating accessories for American houses, including Proenza Schouler, for which she still works, the Mumbai, India-born designer has adopted a slow-fashion mind-set. For one thing, she believes that luxury goods should be rare investment pieces that last forever (and are never marked down). Now, she’s bringing that ethos to her new namesake line, Esha Soni. Seetha spent three years working with artisans in Italy and New York to develop her debut collection, which was inspired by Jules Olitski’s color field paintings and the biomorphic shapes sculpted by Jean Arp, and includes three handbags made with French calf, suede and spelt pony, as well as a sterling silver and gold vermeil necklace that looks like a strand of river stones and was a collaboration with the jeweler Christine McPartland. The Arc tote slants to one side in a way that makes you look twice, while the Slope seems to call for a cocktail party. “I was calling it the bangle bag,” Seetha says of its removable bracelet handle. Artful bags will always be at the core of her brand, but she envisions the Esha Soni customer as someone who…
