The Big Bang Theory: Go For Edgy Fringe

Stay up-to-the-millisecond by asking your stylist to cut edgy, pin-straight bangs. They’ll call attention to your eyes and modernize your look effortlessly, as evidenced by Katie Holmes.

 

The Key to Kissable Lips: Barely There Liner

Kissable lips are natural-looking, so lose the liner completely or, if you won’t part ways with your pencil, use a shade that matches your natural lip color and a lip brush to blend it out completely. Harsh liner is believed to be the makeup equivalent of tattered bra straps and panty lines.

 

Dive Into the Deep Blue: Ocean-Inspired Eyeliner

A flirty, fearless alternative to black, blue eyeliner is making waves. Rim your upper and lower lashes with a soft-tipped kohl pencil

 

Blush With Greatness: It’s All In the Application

Keep blush on the apples of your cheeks and off of the so-called parenthesis lines surrounding the mouth. A cream blush will impart a natural-looking flush while powders tend to call attention to fine lines.

 

Get Glowing: Add Depth and Radiance with a Highlighter

The secret to achieving a youthful, dewy glow? Liquid highlighter. Pick one with a universally flattering golden shimmer and apply it to the temples, bridge of the nose and along the sexy creases between your nose and lips.

 

Lovely Lips: Perfect Your Pucker

If you opt for a stand-out lip color, such as coral-red or even ultra-pale pink, take care to slough dead, flaking skin from your lips with a bit of facial exfoliator or a wet washcloth (use it to rubs lips ever-so- gently). Notice-me shades tend to spotlight imperfections.

 

Ice, Ice Baby: The Quickest Pick-Me-Up

For an instant pick-me-up when you rise out of bed, dunk a clean towel in ice water and apply it to your face for a few minutes. The coolness perks up lackluster skin and relieves puffiness, while putting a rosy glow in your cheeks.

 

Glamour Gear

Protect not only your eyes, but the delicate skin around them by wearing big, UV-shielding sunglasses all summer long. The trend, made famous by twins

 

A Sunny Styling Idea

When riding in a convertible, keep your hair off your face and in place with a scarf, tied as a bandana or styled like a 1950s movie star. Wrap it just behind your hairline, allowing the ends to flow out the back.

 

Getting Steamy

If you get the chance, sit in a steam room post-workout to draw out skin’s toxins and rev up microcirculation. You’ll emerge with pink cheeks that look lit-from-within.
