Your first move: Swap last seasons bright orange

lipstick for a boysenberry shade. Kind of a
raspberry-blackberry hybrid, this color was all over

Kendal did at Carolina Herrera.

Camilla Akrans
Beyond Beige, Akranss first Allure shoot, was supposed

to take place on Park Avenue to give a crisp urbanity
to the photographs. But Mother Nature had a different
idea. We took only one shot out on the street before
it started raining like crazy, says the photographer. We
took shelter in the crews motor home and
built a little emergency set inside. With a few lighting
and equipment adjustments, the shoot continued.
Luckily, the motor home had a similar nude color scheme,
Akrans says. It worked out really well, actually.
Brooke Hauser
Im a huge fan of Mean Girls. When I learned Id be

profiling Rachel McAdams, my first thought was that Ive
interviewed three of the four Plastics, says Hauser, the
author of Cool and Hot. (Look out, Lacey Chabert.)
Though they mostly discussed McAdamss career,
the Allure contributing editor couldnt resist asking the
actress about her ex Ryan Gosling. Shes aware
that fans want to hear about her and Ryan, says Hauser.
She didnt shut me down, but she didnt encourage
me, either. Shes a good sport, but she has boundaries.
Patricia Tortolani
The August issue of Allure has been dedicated to free

stuff for seven years, and Tortolani makes it a mission to
up the amount of giveaways every time. But topping
herself isnt just a numbers game. Our giveaways arent
junky freebieswe have Marc Jacobs fragrances,
a Max Mara bag, Dior nail kits, says the Allure beauty
director. The products are so good, I wish I could
enter. But her excitement doesnt come close to that of
Allure readers. I have a friend in L.A. who cancels her
trainer for the month so she can be ready to go at 9 a.m.
CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: JASON McDONALD; COURTESY OF SUBJECT (3)
Carter Smith
Shooting Rachel McAdams at an estate in Harriman,

New York, for Cool and Hot posed unexpected
challenges for Smith. I loved a shot we did by a stream,
but we all had to scramble down a muddy embankment
to get there, he says. There were unstable rocks
and snakesthough I kept the snake sightings to myself.
The location gave the images a richness of mood.
It allowed Rachel to become a character, he says. The
element of the unknown, like high winds,
can take a picture in a completely new direction.
Contributors
Sebastian Kim
I wanted the photos to be energetic, says

Kim of shooting Style Strategy. To ensure
that, he asked model Bette Franke to move
in ways that were practically acrobaticand
rigged up an invisible system to help. We
wanted her limbs to come out of the frame
a bit, so we positioned a metal bar above
her head to help her balance, says Allure
fashion director Siobhan Bonnouvrier.
Sebastian is fantastic at making sure every
part of the models body is in the right
placeit creates a beautiful photograph.
Sophia Panych
The subject of Happy Medium wasnt

foreign territory for the Allure beauty editor,
who recently chopped her long hair into
a lob (a.k.a. a long bob). On Pinterest, Id
been pinning lobs to my hair inspiration
board for months, Panych says. So I was
excited to learn something new about
them. And she did, including how to create
undone waves and a fast updo. But the
single coolest thing about the lob? Straight
or wavy, the cut styles itself. Everyone likes
it because you really can just wash and go.
Elizabeth Siegel
Jenna Rosenstein
One of Rosensteins lowest beauty moments

made her the ideal writer for Thick
Lashes. She was a seat-filler at the 2009
MTV Video Music Awards, and I was so
worried about my outfit that I totally forgot
to put on mascara, says the Allure beauty
assistant. I felt so exposed! No one
seemed to notice her bare lashes (Kanye
West stole the show, after all), but
Rosenstein wont make that mistake
again. Im one of those people who cant
leave the house without fully coated lashes.
FROM TOP: MARINA MUNOZ; COURTESY OF SUBJECT (3)
As Allures beauty features editor, Siegel

regularly interviews dermatologists and
beauty experts. And while Martha Stewart is
neither, shes an idol of mine, and shes
clearly passionate about the topic, says the
author of Pile It On. That topic? Layering
skin products to new excess. For her and
other skin-care superusers, this is a ritual.
Siegel was most impressed by Stewarts
dedication. She told me that she wakes up
at 4 a.m. and immediately applies a mask
for an hour. And really, is that so surprising?

Process of Elimination
After reading Skinny and Fat in the
June issue, I now feel guilty for eating not only unhealthy foods but also
the healthy foods you listed, such as
nuts and kale. Many of these foods
provide essential nutrients that the
human body requires to survive, but
the article makes people wonder,
Whats the point of eating healthy if
its all bad anyway? Youre not leaving
us with a lot of options.

does the best job of all the beauty mags

TOM MUNRO (COVER)
NOW TALK TO US IN PERSON

(AND HELP A WORTHY CHARITY)
Allures Experts
Every month, Allure relies on the expertise of top doctors, scientists, makeup
artists, and hairstylists. Here are the pros we turned to for the August issue.
Cosmetic dermatologist Brandt revolutionized a major anti-aging
treatmentand, as we
discovered when we
interviewed him for
Pile It On, hes an
expert product layerer.
What was your biggest contribution to

the anti-aging field? In the early 90s,
I was one of the first people to expand

the use of Botox from just the forehead
to the lower face and using it to elevate
the nose. Now everyone does that.
What was it like to be at the forefront of
Botox use in general? People were very
skeptical that it could be used cosmetically. There were a lot more conversations with patients about the science
and how it works, and now people
are almost too blas about it. Its gone
from one extreme to the other.
Whats behind the new trend of layering multiple skin-care products? The
advent of serums. Theyre very easy

to layer since theyre light and get
absorbed quickly. Ive been layering
for a long, long time. Im a big layerer.
Mara Roszak
Roszak, the hairstylist

who cut Emma Stones
and Kate Maras hair
into long bobs, told us
how to get the perfect
cut in Happy Medium.
Why hair? I had always
done my friends hair, from the time
we were 13 and going to bar mitzvahs
every weekend. It was the first time I
felt like I was good at something.
What was your first job? Right after I
graduated from beauty school, a family friend who was a celebrity publicist
called and asked if I could do Sarah
Michelle Gellars hair for a premiere.
I was 17, and it was my first time ever
doing someone who hadnt paid $5 at
a beauty school, or a friend or family
member. It wasnt the worst thing Ive
ever seen.
Why is the lob so big right now? Its
so easy to wear. People prep them30 Allure August 2014
selves for a shock. But when they get

it, theyre immediately like, Oh, this
feels like me.
Ranella Hirsch
Turns out that there is

a smart way to OD on
skin care. Hirsch, a dermatologist in Boston
who specializes in laser
surgery and aesthetic
dermatology, explains
in Pile It On.
Why did you go into dermatology? Its a
genuine privilege to help people present their best face to the world. And its
always cool to see people on the happiest days of their lives, since I often
meet patients for the first time before
their wedding or graduation.
Why is cosmetic dermatology important? People knock taking care of your
appearance, but in reality its what

motivates us to exercise. Its what motivates my four-year-old to tuck his shirt
in. Its healthy.
Do you layer? If its the beginning of winter and Im not ready to switch to a really
heavy cream, I put a serum on to boost
the effectiveness of my moisturizer.
Video Stars
We believe theres no such thing
as too many beauty tips.
Thats why we created Allure
Insiders, videos on our YouTube
channel in which ten beauty
wizards share their brilliance.
Makeup artist Jamie Greenberg got
Kaley Cuoco to show us her
boudoir, including the secret to her
incredible-smelling armpits.
Hairstylist Serge Normant (Julia
Robertss hair guy) takes you
behind the scenes on some of his
favorite cover shoots. Ava
Shamban, a UCLA dermatologist,
gives insight on skin careand
explains the science linking body
odor and attraction. (Detect a
theme here? Just watch it.) Check
out these videos and more at
youtube.com/alluremagazine,
and look for the Allure
Insiders seal. RAMONA EMERSON
Kate Lee
Lee, who works on photo shoots and as Chanels

celebrity makeup artist,
told us how to get the
most out of our mascara
in Thick Lashes.
When did you get into

makeup? There was a musician in
the 80s named Toyah Willcox who

would paint flocks of birds flying
across her face, and I used to emulate
that dailyand be sent home from
school to wash it off.
What was your most memorable job?
The very first shoot I did for Vanity

Fair. Annie Leibovitz, [hairstylist]
Danilo, Kate Winslet, Sophia Loren...
everyone was there because it was a
Hollywood cover. I remember standing
on the set thinking, I cant believe Im
allowed to be here.
How has mascara changed since you
started? The formulation has changed
so much in the past five years. Chanel

was early to do rubber wands. You can
get right into the base of the lashes.
Wendy Rowe
Makeup artist Rowe

achieved the near impossible when she made
nude makeup look
totally jaw-dropping in
Beyond Beige.
What do you think is

the best part of being a makeup artist?
Every face is different, so makeup

never looks the same.
What was your biggest makeup challenge? Doing the makeup for the
Burberry shows for 14 years, [designer] Christopher [Bailey] would want

Rachel McAdams
or someone whos starred in two time-travel movies, the

setting for McAdamss second Allure cover shoot was
fittinga historic sprawling estate in Harriman, New York.
Carter Smith photographed McAdams on a chilly May day.
Farm to Tablet: The skies had just cleared when McAdams
arrived for the shoot, which was inspired by the 1980 film Tess (based, in
turn, on the 1891 novel Tess of the DUrbervilles by Thomas Hardy). She
headed for the stables, where the crew was stationed, and flipped through
images of the clothes with Allure creative director Paul Cavaco before
grabbing breakfast. Sipping decaf black tea that shed brought, McAdams
watched a bit of Tess on an iPad while hair and makeup got to work.
Hats Off: Cavaco suggested McAdams try on a bonnet as they put together
the first look. My mom used to make me wear one, and I hated it,
she said. Now I love it. The crew all laughed as they put bonnets on one
another, then ventured out to a creek on the property. They shot the
second look at the stables before a sudden rain shower.
Day Tripping: McAdams ate a late lunch of couscous salad, kale, carrots,
and salmonbut what she raved about was the lemon tart. She sliced
pieces for the crew before getting her hair and makeup touched up for the
cover shot. McAdams thanked the crew and hopped into a car around
5 p.m. for the hour-long ride back to the city. JENNA ROSENSTEIN

He shook through
the curls with
his fingers and set
them with a quick
spritz of hair spray.

Letter From the Editor|August 14
Under My Skin
With fellow New Yorker,

CFDA winner Paul Cavaco
Linda Wells, Editor in Chief
LARRY BUSACCA/GETTY IMAGES
uring every facial, there comes a moment of truth when

the aesthetician centers her magnifying light inches
from your skin and issues her assessment. Usually, the
words burn like an acid peel. It comes down to this: What
youre doing or not doing, using or not using, is entirely wrong. And she would gladly sell you the series of six
deep- cleansing treatments and 14 products to make
things right. She waits for your answer, holding the loop
extractor in a vaguely threatening way. Well?
Having a facial recently at a new salon, I braced myself for the critiqueslash-sales-pitch. The facialist didnt follow the script. Where are you
from? she asked. I told her, Here. New York. She wasnt having it. Your
pores are too clean for a New Yorker.
It was the nicest thing a facialist had ever said to me. Ive always wanted
to be a real New Yorker in everything but my pores. After growing up in
and around New York City, I moved to St. Louis at 14. Even there, especially
there, I wanted to be a New Yorker. One of my favorite family rituals was
really an effort to maintain some connection to the city (and by the city
I mean, of course, New York). After church on Sundays, my father would
stop for bagels and lox, then travel to a faraway newsstand that carried The
New York Times. Id page through the sections, mostly studying the movie
listings. All those choices, in all those languages! The movies I watched
were often set in Manhattan, Manhattan included, and I sometimes lost
the plotline because I was so focused on the streets and stores.
When I finally got back to New York City eight years later, I lived on
bagels, the Times, and movies and tried to hang on to my Midwestern skin.
My first facial ever was at Mario Badescu, which back then looked like a
dentists office, with a similar degree of pampering. It didnt matter. The
feeling of walking out on the gritty streets of New York with immaculate
skin was magical, like being in a force field.
There were other facials at fancier addresses, with fruit plates, glasses
of prosecco, paraffin dips, and heated booties, but none matched that
first transportive time.
Ive learned that having a facial is a practical necessity in New York City.
Its like getting your windows washed at the start of each season. You know
the results wont last much longer than the first rainstorm, but that fleeting
sparkle amid the grime is something to experience.

Irish Imports

good self-tanners. Thats right. Fair-skinned Irish women take their faux

our own slang term to describe a girl whos gone overboard with tanner:
tango, short for tangerine, says Karen Brown, the founder of Karora, a
top-selling line of self-tanners in Ireland. Now, two Irish innovations are

look long and evenly covered, says Stern.

6. Thick and Defined

The bristles are separated by eight troughs of
mascara, which deposit a heavy coat. It tends
to clump, so keep a spooley brush handy.

CoverGirl + Olay The De-Puffer Eye Concealer

What it is: A depuffing undereye concealer that also treats dark
circles, available in six shades
Key ingredients: N-acetyl glucosamine and niacinamide (to
minimize undereye circles); cucumber extract (to soothe); and
glycerin (to moisturize)
How it looks/feels: The cooling metal applicator and lightweight
serum feel just like any other eye depuffer, only this one is lightly
tinted to brighten and conceal as you swipe it under each eye.

Why we like it: Meet our new hangover helper. Just a couple of
tiny drops hid the aftereffects of a champagne-soaked night we
recently spent in Vegas. It covers like a champwithout
creasing or looking cakey, as many heavier formulas doand
both night owls and allergy sufferers will appreciate how the
metal applicator and cucumber extract fight puffiness. The more
often you use it, the better you look. N-acetyl glucosamine
and niacinamide work together to reduce hyperpigmentation
and speed up cell turnover to treat dark circles, says
cosmetic chemist NiKita Wilson. In clinical trials, patients
saw improvement in about eight weeks. LIESA GOINS

When Neutrogena brought out their first bar soap in 1954, it sold at
department stores for $1 (outrageous at a time when soap
went for 10 cents). The best-seller celebrates its sixtieth anniversary
this year. Cl de Peau Beaut also has a top-selling bar,
outrageously priced at $100. We compare and contrast. LINDSAY COLAMEO
THE NEWS: Clinique

Smart Custom-Repair
Serum is loaded with
ingredients that take
on pretty much every
possible sign of aging
(dark spots, fine lines,
dryness, you name it).
The company claims
that the formula can target
specific skin woes and deliver
just the ingredients to treat
them alone.
HOW IT WORKS: The dizzying
list of active ingredients can
be divided into two camps:
ones that benefit every
complexion (such as licorice
and red-algae extract to
reduce inflammation and
hyaluronic acid to moisturize)
and those that supposedly
spring into action as needed
(such as ultrasomes and
roxisomes, which help repair
UV damage, or ergothioneine,
which slows the production
of the melanin that causes
dark spots). Cosmetic chemist
NiKita Wilson confirms
that the concept has merit:
Some of the ingredients
can detect cell damage; if
the skin doesnt have a
problem, the ingredients
wont do anything.
THE VERDICT: As sexy as a
custom anti-ager may sound,
its more likely that the sheer
number of ingredients is what
delivers results. And despite
being jam-packed, the serum
feels light and smooth. Our
tester said, It made my skin
feel softer after a few days
and cleared some red patches
after a week.

onsider a little something we like to call

the Louboutin effect. You know how nude
patent stilettos make your legs look long
and lean? Well, a high-gloss nude nail polish does the same thing for your f ingers.
Its sexy and refinednot to mention a
cool palate cleanser from all those sequined, bedazzled,
and sushi-appliqud manicures.
Choosing the right nude lacquer, however, isnt
exactly simple. Its really more like youre picking out
a foundation than a nail polish, says manicurist Jenna
Hipp, who recommends testing shades on bare nails

and checking them in natural light to find the most f lattering one for your complexion. For starters, you dont
want to match it exactly. Go a shade lighter than your
skin tone, says manicurist Jin Soon Choi. It brightens
up your hands and makes for a clean and elegant look.
Pick sheer nudes when you want a classic manicure
and more opaque ones for a trendier look. And dont
even think about picking a polish with shimmer (its the
opposite of tasteful). Once you know the finer points,
we promise, getting naked is easy.

The Sheer Nude Manicure
The classic nude manicure looks clean, professional,

and understated.
Match your nails. Look at the color of your unpolished
nailits either pink, whitish, or the same color as your skin,
says manicurist Michelle Saunders. A polish that, in the
bottle, matches your nail color will look nude on your hands.
Road test it. Narrow your selection to three or four, and
paint each on a separate nail. Then assess them in natural
light. You want one that doesnt make your skin look gray,
yellow, or pink. Check your cuticles, too, says Hipp. If they
look dark or red, the shade is wrong.
Tidy up. Clean under your nails, because if the polish is

sheer, it isnt hiding anythingobviously.
File down. Keep your nails short. If too much of the tips
show, it could look like a dreaded French manicure.
Be smoothreal smooth. Sheer nudes reveal imperfections
in your nails natural color and texture. Lightly buf each
nail twice to smooth bumps and use a ridge-filling basecoat.
We like Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Smooth &
Strong Base Coat.
Stop after one coat. If you want a sheer efect, heavy layers
are a bad ideaand can look too pink or too white. Paint
each nail in three strokes: one down the middle, and one
on each side.
Gloss over it. One layer of pigment dulls quickly, so reapply
topcoat every day, or just rub cuticle oil on each nail
for temporary shine (try OPI Top Coat or CND SolarOil).

The Opaque Nude Manicure

An opaque nude manicure is as trendy as a noncolor gets.

Pick your shade. We could go into detail about

undertones and color correction, but lets just cut to
the chase: Hold the bottle of polish up to a
bottle of your foundation for a side-by-side comparison.
Do a double take. If the polish has even the slightest

hint of yellow or gray, put it back on the shelf.
Yellowish shades make hands look sallow, and grayish
beiges are drab, says Hipp. Skip anything with shimmer
or a glittery or pearlescent finishthis manicure is supposed
to look as smooth as patent leather.

Layer, layer, layer. For the most even application, its

better to do three light layers than two heavy ones,
because globs are especially obvious on nudes, says
manicurist Elle.
Make a sweeping gesture. Paint a curve along your

cuticle first, then fill in the rest of your nail, says
Choi. It creates a smooth border, whereas using all
straight, vertical brushstrokes causes a zigzag edge.
Skip anything with shimmer

or a glittery or pearlescent finish
this manicure is supposed to
look as smooth as patent leather.

Tricks of the Trade
Brush up. Sheer nudes reveal yellowing nails. Remove

stains by rubbing them with whitening toothpaste,
says Hipp. Let it sit for a minute or two, then wipe away
any residue with rubbing alcohol.
The Polishes
Now that youve committed everything you just read to
memory, youre ready to pick a polish...just kidding.
Tear out this card before your next manicureits got our
favorite polishes for every skin tone.
Sheer Nudes
Go for gold. If you think nude nails make your hands

look lifeless, layer one coat of sheer rose-gold
under your shade to warm it up, says Elle, who likes
Essie nail polish in Imported Bubbly. You can also top an
opaque nude with one coat of sheer pink, like LOral Paris
Colour Riche Nail in How Romantic. It adds a youthful,
rosy glow, says Saunders.
If your nails are the same color as your skin, try the sheer
beige CoverGirl Outlast Stay Brilliant nail polish in Forever
Fawn (1) or Hipp X RGB Nail Tint in T1 (2).
Make it matte. For fashion shows, manicurists often top

sheer nudes with one layer of matte topcoat. It makes
you look like you have naturally perfect nailsnot like
youre wearing polish, says Saunders. We like Butter London
Matte Finish Shine Free Top Coat.
If your nails are pink, we like Dior Nail Lacquer in Muguet (4).
Its soft enough to look nudenot too precious or too rosy.

Style your hands like a supermodel. Candice Swanepoel

and Freja Beha Erichsen pair opaque nudes with memory
rings (thin gold bands that sit above the knuckles) for a
delicate look. Try Catbird First Knuckle Rings.
Know how to go nude at the beach. When youre outside
all day, the suns UV rays can turn your polish yellow,
which is especially obvious and unappealing with
nude shades. Apply a topcoat with sunscreens like
benzophenone-1 and octocrylene to protect your color. We
like Zoya Armor Top Coat.
Pick a sheer lacquer that matches your unpolished nails.
If your nails are whitish, go for Essie nail polish in Allure (3).
The pinkish ivory flatters white nails, which are common on
women with olive and dark skin tones, says Saunders.
Opaque Nudes
For a nude lacquer with oomph, pick one that matches
your skin tone or your foundation.
If you have fair skin, try Zoya nail polish in Chantal (5). Avoid
beiges with noticeable pink or white tones in the bottle. They
look either cloying or dated on hands.
If you have olive skin, try Jinsoon nail polish in Nostalgia (6).
Skip yellow-beiges, which will make your skin look sallow.
If you have dark skin, try OPI Nail Lacquer in Going My Way or
Norway (7) or Este Lauder nail polish in Diabolique (8). Stay
away from anything remotely grayitll look ashy on the skin.

Geometry Lessons
By Siobhan Bonnouvrier
Sharp, bold, unexpectedthats the position designers are taking
with their prints this season, creating patterns that seem to
vibrate right off the fabric. Lines zig when you want them to zag,
circles are curiously abbreviated, and the rules of geometry
are tested at every right angle. Take Dries Van Notens squiggly
stripes, which hum with energy, or the mix of stripes
and directions (and logic) on Bottega Venetas cocktail dress.
Part artful tailoring, part pure fun house, the pieces
are a reminder that things arent always as they seem.

How to Look
Great at
the Beach
Tip
At the beach, you

want your jewelery
to look more
hippie than fashy.
At the beach, people either try too

hard or not hard enough. You want
to be comfortable but still chic.
Cover yourself. If Im going to be
somewhere really hot, I bring a caf
tan (Lemlem makes beautiful ones)
or a thin cotton pareo. If it gets chilly
or windy in the afternoon, I love a
big, chunky wool sweater over a bath
ing suitits very Marilyn Monroe.
Im also into ponchos, like ones from
Lisa Marie Fernandez.
Stay in the shade. Theres something
so feminine about a floppy straw hat.
If the rim starts to fray or the hat has
a funny shape from being stuffed in
your bag, all the better.
Accessorize responsibly. I love jew
elry at the beach as long as you dont
go overboard. Ill wear a few gold neck
laces and ropy bracelets, but never ear
rings. I do keep a pair of hoops in my
bag in case I go straight to cocktails.
Stay grounded. The beach is no place
for high heels, even wedges. Youll
look like a fashion victim. Ancient
Greeks flat sandals are the best.
Dress it up. If youre at a more for
mal beach, like St.Tropez, bring a
backless maxidress and a rope belt to
throw on over your bathing suit before
lunch or dinner. Add some colorful
sunglasses, run a little oil through
your hair, and put everything else in
a straw or canvas toteyoure all set.

Laure Hriard Dubreuil
Hriard Dubreuil is the owner of
the Webster boutiques in Miami.
Insiders Guide
If hes going for more of a Mad Men,

done look that isnt frozen, a product like Aquage Transforming Paste is
more malleable. And ban clear, glossy
pomade. It makes hair look oily, and
it attracts light to the scalp, so its like
a spotlight on thinning hair. Steer
him toward products that are white
in the tub, not clear. (Try R+Co Conformist Hair Paste or Redken for Men
Outplay Texture Putty.) For a cool but
relaxed look, show him how to warm
up a dime-size amount of the product
in his hands and apply it from front
to back, roughing it up with his fingers to style.
Bulk up. For guys with fine hair,
a texturizing spray is perfect: It
adds texture and makes hair
look fresh. He should spray it from
six inches away and style with his
fingers. Try Oribe Dry Texturizing
Spray or Toweldry Spray Styler.
Watch his back. Once a week,
use clippers to keep his neckline
and sideburns looking fresh. He
wont be able to do it himself since he
cant see the back of his head. If you
notice any hairs sprouting outside the
haircuts line, trim them.

An Interview With Diana Schmidtke
Schmidtke is a stylist and mens grooming expert who has worked with
George Clooney, Jon Hamm, and Robert Pattinson.
A mans first step is a good haircut from a reputable salon or barber (one
that doesnt give out lollipops). The cut should have a gradual progression
from short to longer on top, and the back of the neck should be clean. From
there, the average guy just needs a little help figuring out the product aisle.
Give him conditioning shampoo.
Many guys dont realize they

need conditioner, or they think
the extra step is a hassle. A cleanser
with hydrating ingredients, like Dove
Men + Care Fresh Clean 2-in-1 or
Paul Mitchell Mitch Double Hitter, is
quick and doesnt weigh hair down.
Depuff with grooming cream.
Squeaky-clean hair can go

fluffy, but theres an easy fix.
Since its lightweight and not sticky,
grooming cream is the most nonproduct product out there and perfect
for a novice. He can use a nickel-size
blob to give the hair a little weight. I
love Bumble and Bumble and American Crew grooming creams.
Make sure his hair can move. Gel
is still the best-selling mens hair
product, but Im not a fan, since
it cant be manipulated after it sets.
You cant run your fingers through
gelled hair without creating flakes.
INTERVIEW BY MEIRAV DEVASH
Teach Him This

These guidelines work on any
hair texture with any product that
comes in a tube, tin, or bottle.
USE YOUR HANDS
Plop a dab of product in one hand, then
rub both hands together vigorously.
Be sure to get the fingertips, too.
Attacking your hair with only the palms
makes for a globby, uneven look.
FORM A CLAW
For movement and separation, use your
product-slicked hand like a rake and
slowly pull it through the hair. Optional:
Grab chunks in the front and twist
to the left, then twist to the right.
APPLY EVERYWHERE
Remember, people can see you from all
angles, so move your hands from front
to back, then back to front. And use
a hand mirroror ask your girlfriend
to check your rear view.
Clear, glossy pomade makes hair look oily and attracts light
to the scalp, so its like a spotlight on thinning hair.

INTERVIEW BY COURTNEY BALESTIER
Match Maker Julien Farel, the oficial hairstylist of the U.S.

Open, tells us what makes great tennis hair. ELIZABETH ANGELL
Why does hair matter?

If the players look good,
they feel good. I try to
give them power hair so
they can swagger. I think
of Bjrn Borg.
Whats the best hair for a

match? I do a lot of braids.
A double braidone on top
and one on bottomgives
more security. For product,
I use a balm or gel instead
of hair spray, which can

be drying. And I always use
something with SPF.
Can good hair help a

player win? When my
senior colorist and I took
Bethanie Mattek-Sands
from neon green to bright
purple, she won her firstround match at last years
Open and tweeted,
Its all about the hair!
Any other big hair

victories? I cut
Rafa Nadals hair before
the 2010 U.S. Open. He
had long hair and wanted
a change. I decided to
create a South American
polo player kind of look.
He won the tournament, his
first U.S. Open. Now hes
superstitious about letting
anyone else cut his hair.
RAYMOND MEIER/TRUNK ARCHIVE
Consider this when booking your

ticket: A long layover might mean
more savings and more sightseeing.
Get out. I had an overnight layover in
Geneva, where the (free!) airport train
takes you into town in six minutes
you better believe I spent my 12
hours taking a brisk stroll along the
river, then reinvigorating myself at
the Four Seasons pool and spa. In
many European hubs, its easy to get
into town. Just make sure you have
enough time to wander the city and
still clear security.

most airline lounges offer day passes
MOOD NEWS
By Lois B. Morris
allure.com:
Discover 11 ways
to enhance your eyes at
allure.com/go/eyes.
Eye
Opener
ooking people in the eyes is thought to convey confidence or trustworthiness, but it may be counterproductive when youre trying
to change someones mind. Frances Chen, an assistant professor
of psychology at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver,
and her colleagues had people watch videos in which speakers
advocated an opinion that was the opposite of the viewers own.
Participants also followed instructions to focus primarily on either the speakers
eyes or mouths. Those who watched the speakers mouths were more easily persuaded to alter their views, whereas those maintaining eye contact were much
less receptive. Direct gaze can convey dominance, Chen notes. Prolonged eye
contact in a tense interaction is likely to be interpreted differently than it would
be in a friendly interaction, she explains. If someone youre trying to convince
seems agitated or looks away, it may be wise not to force eye contact, she says.
Lighten the Mood

Emotions running high? Check the lighting. Bright light intensifies peoples feelings.
Alison Jing Xu, an assistant professor of marketing at the University of Toronto,
coauthored a study in which volunteers rated their reactions to positive and negative
words more strongly in a well-lit room than in a darker one. People also liked spicy
food more and perceived images of models as sexier in bright light versus low light.
Brightness suggests a warm temperature, and the perception of warmth activates
emotional systems in the body, heightening initial responses, Xu explains. Although
her research didnt test this, its possible that dimmer light could help people
make decisions that are less emotionally driven and more rational, she says.
Size Esteem
When a woman tries on clothing,
the size on the label can influence
her desire to buyand not just
that particular item. In a study,
women were told that clothes
that fit them were a larger size
than they usually wore. This made
them less apt to like the clothes.
They were inclined to buy other
appearance-enhancing items
(such as eye makeup), seemingly
in an attempt to bolster their
self-esteem after what the
researchers called a size threat.
Being conscious of inconsistent
measurement standards and
vanity sizing could counteract
this effect, however, as could
taking a moment to appreciate
your appearance right before
you try on clothes, says lead study
author JoAndrea Hoegg, an
assistant professor of marketing
and behavioral science at the
University of British Columbia.

Thick Lashes
Mascara wands are getting fatter, but that may not help your
lashes. Theres a better way to gain weight. By Jenna Rosenstein
NICOLAS MOORE/TRUNK ARCHIVE
yes, as they say, are

the boobs of the
face. And lashes
are their push-up
bras. OK, maybe
t h e ex p re s s i o n
refers to windows
and soulsbut thick eyelashes are
the focus of female beauty. The
only difference between Mickey
and Minnie Mouse is that Minnie
has thick eyelashes, says makeup
artist Troy Surratt. A row of full
lashes instantly feminizes the face.
But even the best-laid mascara can go arachnid. To prevent
it, stop piling on more mascara.
You can actually get full lashes
with one coat, says makeup artist
Kate Lee. Yah-huh, she said one
coat. Because like the best pushup bras, full lashes shouldnt call
for a lot of extra padding.

6 Steps to Perfectly Thick Lashes

The Necessities
Eyelash curler. The

best oneslike Kevyn
Aucoins and Shu
Uemurashave a gentle
arc and a silicone pad
that wont break lashes.
Eyelash primer.
Choose one with or without
fibers. We like E.L.F.
Studio Mascara Primer.
1.
Squeeze and hold the

eyelash curler at the base
of your upper lashes
for a few seconds before
pumping it a few more
times as you work your
way toward the ends.
Eyelash comb. Get a

plastic, not metal, comb
so you dont poke your
eye if you slip.
Sharp black eyeliner
pencil. Look for one with
a hint of shimmer, like
Mally Evercolor Starlight
Waterproof Liner in
Shimmering Black or
Physicians Formula
Extreme Shimmer
Eyeliner Trio, because
doesnt patent leather
look more voluminous
than matte? says makeup
artist Mally Roncal.
Black thickening
mascara. Any formula will
work as long as its not
waterproof (They dry too
quickly, says makeup artist
Jillian Dempsey). A wand
with rubber bristles wont
hurt if you nuzzle it too
close to your eye, says Lee.

bottom lashes.
Precision-point cotton
swabs. To clean up
smudges.
Makeup remover.
Liquidno wipes.
4.
Starting at the outer

corner, smoosh the mascara
wand into the base of your
lashes, wiggling it back and
forth. Drag it to the tips.
Repeat, working toward the
inner corner. Dont stick
the wand back in the tube.
Use what you have on
the wand for the whole
row of upper lashes.
2.
Press and wiggle

the eyelash primer into
the base of your
lashes, then pull away,
says Roncal. It gives
the illusion of a thicker
base. Draw your eyelash
comb through so
lashes are evenly fanned,
advises Surratt.
5.
With your chin tilted

down, place the mascara
wand underneath your
bottom lashes and twirl it
away from you. Pinch
the tips of the hair to get
rid of clumps. If two
lashes stick together, run
the clean, dry spooley
brush through the bottom
lashes from underneath.
3.
Lift your top lid with one

finger and trace your
waterline with the black
pencil, filling in the spaces
between the lashes. You
really want to jiggle the
liner in there, says
Dempsey. Your eyes wont
look lined, but the lashes
will look more dense.
6.
Step back from the

mirror to examine each
eye. If you have clumps,
run through them with the
lash comb. Lightly dip
a cotton swab in makeup
remover and run it
under the bottom lashes
to pick up any mascara.
Fiber Ones
Fibers are awesome. Theyre like tiny hair extensions that grab
on to lashes and make them really freaking long. But fibers can
also be mini eyeball terrorists because, after a few hours, they will
detach from your lashes and nose-dive into your eyes. If youre
an eye rubber, I wouldnt recommend them because the fibers
can fall into the eyes, says ophthalmologist Wendy Lee. On the
other hand, if youre only wearing them for a night out, go for it.

You might think all you

need is a mascara
and a mirror. Youre not
wrongbut then again,
your lashes arent as
thick as they could be.
Back to Basics
Brushes With Greatness

If you remember when all
mascara brushes were the same,
you probably remember
phone booths. Heres a look at
the latest innovations.
Good Clumpy vs.

Bad Clumpy
The supergoopy lashes that
makeup artist Pat McGrath created
for the Prada fall show looked
amazing, but theyre not entirely
suited to real life. If you dont have
a team of makeup artists in your
bathroom, remember one simple
ruleclumpy base: sexy; clumpy
ends: not. Good clumpy lashes
have thickness at the base
but still have tapered tips, says
Roncal. Avoid crusty or gooey
lashes by brushing through each
coat of mascara only from the
midlength to ends with a spooley
brush or lash comb. Do it
while the formulas wet (i.e., right
away) to avoid flakes.
Givenchy Noir Couture

Volume Mascara. The short,
spiraled bristles on top fatten
lashes; the longer bristles
on bottom act like mini combs.
LOral Paris Voluminous Miss

Manga Mascara. The tapered
wand coats the tiniest inner
lashes for a wide-eyed look.
Sephora Outrageous Curl

Mascara. The brush is
tiny. Really tiny. Which means
you can thicken, coat, and
curl every lash with precision.
Sexy clumpy lashes at Prada
What the Pros Do
They break the cardinal rule of lash

curling. Curling your lashes after
applying mascara can squeeze the base

and smoosh the mascara, making it look
super-duper thick, says Roncal. Wait a few
seconds so the mascara is damp but not wet,
then clamp down and open up the curler
gently so you dont rip out your lashes.
They dont pair thick lashes with red

lipstick, bold brows, smoky eyes,
contoured cheekbones.... There can

only be one Beyonc of the face, says
Surratt. Too much artifice looks cheap. He
recommends pulling your hair back,
keeping your brows well-groomed, and
swiping on a dusty pink lipstick (like NYC

New York Color Expert Last Lip Color in
Smooch) to finish your lashterpiece.
NYX Badunkadunk Lush Lashes

Mascara. The deep channels
between bristles hold a heavy
dose of the formula to
create thickness at the lash line.
They dont put up with clingy lashes.
Spiky lashes can wreck the whole

look, says Dempsey, who suggests
dipping a spooley brush very, very lightly in
makeup remover (she uses The Body Shop
Camomile Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover)
and combing it through clumps.
They never face a mirror straight on. If
you look down into a mirror at a
45-degree angle, you can access your
lashes more easily, says Kate Lee. And your
wet lashes are less likely to touch your eyelids.
Maybelline New York

VolumExpress Pumped
Up Colossal Mascara
Sizing Up Mascara Wands

Is a mascara wand big enough to be a battering ram for Barbies army an efective
thickening tool? Some of the new wands look like theyre made for cows, says
Lee, who prefers a smaller wand. If you love your fat mascara, coat each lash with
a tiny mascara brush first, like Lancme Dfinicils High Definition Mascara.
Then go in with the big wand (like Maybelline New York VolumExpress Pumped Up
Colossal Mascara) so every lash is covered but you get volumizing benefits.
Tarte Best in Faux primer

and mascara set. Apply the
mascara, then the primer, then
the mascara again for
unbelievably long lashes.
Urban Decay Subversion Lash

Primer and Perversion Mascara.
Brush on the primer, let it
dry, and wiggle on the mascara.
Presto: long, glossy lashes.
Urban Myth
Contrary to what youve read
on the Internet, baby
powder sprinkled between
coats of mascara wont
make your lashes look thicker.
Powder absorbs moisture,
and mascara without
moisture cracks, says Lee.
Its not a good idea.

The place: This nail
salon doubles as an
art space, with two
projectors screening
quirky films on the
walls and visiting
nail technicians from
around the world
as artists-in-residence.
What we asked for:
A gel manicure that
mimicked a tribal print
from Mara Hoffman.
The extras: A large
selection of nail
polish from high-end
lines (Dior, Deborah
Lippmann) and niche
ones (Floss Gloss,
RGB). The art films
are entertaining...for
the first few loops.
Bottom line: Nail art

case, almost two hours.
But the result was

and lasted a full
three weeks. Gel nailart manicure, $60.

August 2014 Top Ten List
Claire Beaudreault
17 Crosby St., 212-219-2412
The place: The big, open
space looks nothing like a

nail salon, with contemporary light fixtures and royal
blue banquette seating, which
allows you to sit and chat with
a friend during a manicure.
What we asked for: After
flipping through the salons
menu of 25 nail-art styles,
we chose a mash-up of Weekend Update (rainbow confetti
glitter tips) and Bling Ring
(rhinestone appliqus with
bare half-moons).
The extras: Clients can take
a slightly cheesy mani-cam
photo of their nails to share
on social media.
Bottom line: Beaudreault
experimented with polish
colors until we were happy
with a peachy nude halfmoon and graphite glitter
tips. It cost more than we
normally pay for simple nail
art, but we did like being able
to combine two designs from
the menu, and the result was
cooler than expected. Manicure with nail design, $55.
Nail + Spa Sakura

35 E. 1st St., 212-387-9161
The place: Track lighting
dimly illuminates this quiet,

spare space, which has a Japanese ambience.
What we asked for: A turquoise gel manicure that

would last through an upcoming vacation.

The extras: Velvet pillows to
rest our hands on while they
were painted, ceramic mugs
of green tea, and peaceful,
blissful silence.
Bottom line: With a thin
paintbrush, our manicurist
applied the odorless polish
in precise, fine brushstrokes.
An extra layer of topcoat
produced a superglossy finish that was just as shiny
on the flight home. Singlecolor Calgel manicure, $50.
Bright red
lacquer is the
base for a jewelencrusted
manicure at
Paintbox in New

Medical Pedicure
Marcela Correa
225 W. 35th St.,
646-200-1909
The place: This has the look
and feel of a doctors office

(stark white walls, fluorescent lights, a table covered in
tools). No surprise, considering Correa grew up helping
out her father in his podiatry
clinic in Uruguay.
What we asked for: Smooth
soles and a thorough, noholds-barred callus removal
for our feet.
The extras: There arent any
perfumed foot soaks or
fancy sugar scrubs here
Correas full focus is on
restoring health to nails,
relieving tense muscles, and
smoothing calluses with
metal files. Clients have to
provide their own nail polish for the appointment.
Bottom line: Correa removed

every last callus and buffed a
few corns flat, even inspecting an air pocket on one nail
before soaking our feet. She
finished with a perfectly adequate polish application with
the bottle we brought from
home. We cant remember
the last time our feet were
this soft. Medical pedicure,
$120 and up.
Philadelphia

The place: Theres nothing
special about this functional, exposed-brick space with

stock photos of manicures

Its clean and serviceable.
What we asked for: A quick
manicure-pedicure that
wasnt slapdash.
The extras: An unexpected,
and deeply relaxing, hotstone foot massage with our
spa pedicure and a shoulder
rub as our nails dried.
Bottom line: The decor is
dated, but the clunky pedicure chairs are surprisingly
comfortable, and our nails
looked impeccable for such
an efficient (90 minutes total,
including drying time and
massages) and reasonably
priced visit. Manicure and
pedicure, $39.

Paulette
1706 Connecticut Ave., NW,
202-232-6900
The place: Candles, cock-
tails, and splashes of hot pink

make this noisy, crowded spot
seem more like a bachelorette party than a salon.
What we asked for: A bright,
summery gel manicure.
The extras: The $25 happy
hour deal (offered Monday
through Wednesday) includes
two glasses of champagne
and a pedicure or gel manicure. This deal is actually
more expensive than the $15
regular manicure.
Bottom line: If you want
drinks and a party with
your manicure, Mimosa is
the salon for you. It took 30
minutes of weaving through a
boozy, post-work crowd to get
a seat, even with an appoint-
ment. Paulette did calm us

Bottom line: Crowe spent

named after drinks, such as
the Chocotini-mani (chocolate hand scrub and mask)
and the Double Shot Pedicure (hot-stone massage and
milk soak).
What we asked for: A manicure and pedicure with a
glass of Malbec.
The extras: Our nail technician offered us a choice of
oils, lotions, and scrubs, and
she gave us a neck rub to pass
the drying time.
Bottom line: The paraffin
wax was so soothing, it almost
put us to sleep (although that
might have been the wine).
And despite the corny bar
theme, we actually did enjoy

the nails, drinks, and TV.

The extras: Each appointment includes

week to fix any smudges or chips for
free. The manicurist also hands out
a mini bottle of Seche Vite topcoat at
the end of every clients appointment,
followed by a friendly text reminder to
reapply it in two days.
Bottom line: Hodges stippled more than
six different polishes on our nails with
a makeup sponge and dotted on glitter
to mimic stars. We were thrilled with
the result, despite the lack of a hand
soak or shoulder massage, and were
even more pleased with how easy it was
to bookit took exactly four taps on
our iPhone. Manicure and nail art, $35

Imelda Yang

The place: It feels like a cheerful art
gallery: clean white interior, pale wood

furniture, and a carefully organized rack
of over 350 bright polishes.
What we asked for: A pedicure that
would survive the sand and salt of an
upcoming beach vacation.
The extras: Before their appointment,
clients fill out a short questionnaire,
which includes a line asking how ticklish their feet are.
Bottom line: Our toes looked immaculately groomed, and for the first time
ever, we didnt flinch while our sensitive feet were scrubbed. We did worry
that Yang shortchanged us with a swift
foot rub, but after exfoliating, she
finished our pedicure with hot towels and a long, relaxing massage. And
the glossy polish lasted our entire trip
without chipping or dulling. Chrissy
gel pedicure, $45.

Marilyn Monroe.
What we asked for: A basic clear manicure that wouldnt chip.
The extras: All the products in the
salon are nontoxic (including waterbased polishes for children and pregnant women), and they use nonporous
ceramic pedicure bowls to prevent bacterial growth: The plant-based Karma
Naturals Nail Polish Remover With Soybean Oil & Lavender cleans nails like an
acetone remover but without stripping
them dry.
Bottom line: Our manicure was simple,
given that we didnt want any color or
intricate nail art, but it was pristine.
And the salon was so clean, wed almost
feel comfortable walking around barefoot. $21.
Piele Skin Boutique

Mira Gralnik
9721 S. Santa Monica Blvd.,
Beverly Hills, 310-657-7808
The place: It has the French doors,
sweeping drapes, and dramatic chandelier of a Restoration Hardware catalog,

and a pleasantly hushed atmosphere.
What we asked for: A manicure-pedicure
with extra attention to our cuticles.
The extras: We were given a porcelain
cup of jasmine tea and a sample of Prolanas Nail Optimizer to apply daily to
strengthen our nails and prevent splitting. And theres no additional cost for a
CND Vinylux polish.
Bottom line: Gralnik used a technique
she called rolling to gently push back
our delicate cuticles without scraping
our nails. And when we couldnt find a
polish we liked, she created one for us,
layering three different shades of pink
for a solid, pale color that changed in
the light to a pearlized, iridescent hue.
Manicure and pedicure, $75 and up.

eauty compliments youve probably

never heard: I love your taupe
eye shadow! That beige lip gloss is
ahhhmazing. Your barely there
blush is sick. Nude makeup has
always been subtle, reserved, not
designed to draw attention. But now, its the basis
for some of the most striking makeup on the
runways. Makeup artist Franois Nars, who created
the super-natural makeupbleached brows,
muted lips, immaculate skinat Marc Jacobss fall
show, says, I kept the girls looking almost like
Greek statues. Its the antithesis of the dramatic
brows, bold lips, and over-the-top lashes that
have been ruling red carpets and reality television.
But this nude reaction isnt necessarily extreme.
Strategic hints of color prevent a total washout.
Nude can go beyond beiges and browns, says
makeup artist Wendy Rowe. Grays, mauves, pinks,
even lilac and aubergine are all tones you might
see in your natural bare skin. Find out exactly how
to combine themand start learning how to take
a compliment.
Opaque Nude Lips

Paired with just-barely winged
eyeliner, muted lips can be as sexy
as siren red. Choose a semimatte
lipstick one shade lighter than your
lips and apply it with a brush.

Smoky Nude Eyes

Nude doesnt have to be a typical neutral.
To play up your eyes, find a shadow that
matches the violet tones in your bare skin
(every complexion has them). A deep
purple tinged with heather gray flatters
dark skin; if youre fair, look for lilac.
(Either way, make sure the finish is matte.)

One womans luminous nude makeup can be anothers chalky

mess. The pros share the best shadesfrom peach to caramel.
IF YOUR SKIN IS FAIR:
Anything too whitish can make
you look like a mannequin.
Light lip colors and blushes
should have a hint of cool pink.
For eyes, makeup artist Troy
Surratt suggests sheer, satiny
violets and mauves: Theyre
perfect combinations of warm
and cool tones.
IF YOUR SKIN IS MEDIUM
OR OLIVE: Variations of pink,
taupe, and peach are all
flattering, says Surratt. Women
with olive skin also benefit

from going sweet. Caramel
shades look lovely, says Rowe.
IF YOUR SKIN IS DARK: You
might think earthy shades are
a layup, but beware the
cappuccino. Light browns on
your eyes can disappear
or make you look gray, says
Rowe. You want a deep
bronze, an espresso, or a dark
eggplant. On cheeks and
lips, try a sheer milk chocolate
or pink-y brown.
TIP
To add denitionbut
not colorto the face, smooth
a sheer liquid concealer
one shade lighter than you
normally use over the
tops of your cheekbones.
ROGER CABELLO
The Brow Factor
Lately, eyebrows have been a lot like modern summer blockbusters

big, bold, and pretty damn dark. But going the other way has its
perks: Lightening up really brings an openness and a brightness to
the whole face, says Rowe, who bleached the brows for this
shootbut doesnt necessarily recommend the practice. Its not
hard to do, but it can be hard to get them back to the original
color, she says. Instead, just flirt with the trend by using a brow
mascara thats two shades lighter than your natural colorashy
blonde works well for medium brunettes, light brown for those with
dark hair. Instead of brushing it directly on brows, dot some on
the back of your hand, roll a clean spooley brush over it, and brush
brows straight up toward the forehead, then in the direction of
hair growth. The idea is to cover as much of the hair as possible but
not get any on the skin, says Rowe.

Alexa Chungs cut
that much more
nonchalant.

aybe it was when you saw Bonnie

and Clyde and couldnt stop
staring at Faye Dunaways
glamorous, if vaguely villainous,
hair. Or maybe it was when
Debbie Harry hit the stage with
her rough, shoulder-length cut
in the 70s. Or maybe it was
when Karlie Klosss obsessively documented chop gave
the long bob its current moniker.
The lobwhich falls between the jaw and the
shouldershas now taken over the hair landscape. It
enhances whatever natural texture you have, says
hairstylist Garren of the Garren New York salon. Its the
ideal wash-and-go cut. Its short enough to be edgy, long
enough to be twisted in a chignon, sexy when its sleek,
playful when its wavy, and as close as well come to
labeling a cut universalor, you might say, timeless.
A large curling iron in

alternating directions
creates easy, lob-friendly
waves, like the ones
on model Siri Tollerd.
Whats Your Type?

The most flattering lobs are slightly longer
in the front than in the back, with nearly
blunt ends. Now all you have to do is make
tweaks depending on your texture.
Straight
Ask your stylist for one long outer layer
thats slightly shorter than the rest of
the ends, says hairstylist Mark Townsend.
Then have your stylist snip vertically
into all the ends. It keeps the cut from
looking too square, but it maintains
the illusion of a blunt line at the bottom.
Wavy
MICHAEL THOMPSON
Its the perfect texture for this type of cut

because it air-dries beautifully, says
hairstylist Mara Roszak. To keep the cut
from looking like a nonstyle, ask for
layers at the bottom two inches to soften
the look without turning it into
a shag, says Townsend.
Curly
Ask for layers on the underside of your hair,
especially just above the neck.
I use thinning shears to layer the hair from
midlength to ends, Townsend says.
If you cut layers too close to the scalp, the
short pieces stick out.
119
GOING UP
You can wear your hair up with this cut. But youre going to need bobby pins. Lots of them.
Pull your hair into a side part,

and if you have bangs or
face-framing layers, like
Chung, push them to the side.
LOB TOOLS
Long bobs are so lowmaintenance, you need only
one product at a time.
Texturizing spray. Apply it to
towel-dried hair, scrunch it
in while rough-drying, and finish
with a few more spritzes once
hair is dry. We love the crunchfree formula of Garnier Fructis
Style De-Constructed Texture
Gather the hair into a ponytail,

but instead of pulling
your ends through the elastic,
create a tiny loop.
Tease Dry Touch Finish spray.

Lightweight styling cream.
If youre going to air-dry your
hair, work in a styling cream,
such as Living Proof Perfect Hair
Day. It provides enough hold
to maintain a sexy texture all day.
Dry shampoo. Mist it in loose
waves to add volume or before
you create an updo to give hair
some grip. It works better than

hair spray, says Townsend, who

recommends formulas that
contain powder or starch, such
as Dove Refresh + Care
Dry Shampoo (hes a Dove
spokesman).
Mousse. If your hair is wavy or
curly, rake a palmful of mousse
through damp hair, allow it to
air-dry, then run a wide-tooth
comb through to get soft waves.
Its OK if pieces fall around

your face. Secure
longer sections with
metal clips.
Even if your hair is wavy, look for

a mousse that has a plumping
efect, like KMS California Add
Volume Styling Foam.
Shine spray. One with silicone,
like John Frieda Frizz Ease
100% Shine Glossing Mist, adds
gloss to air-dried or curlingironed waves. Spray it in one
palm, rub your hands together,
and work it through your ends.

THIS PAGE AND OPPOSITE PAGE: FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS CREDITS, SEE CREDITS PAGE.
How-to:
Blow-dry your hair with a round
brush. It doesnt have to be
too perfectjust so the cuticle is
smooth, says Townsend.
Coil two- to three-inch sections
of hair around the clamped
barrel of an inch-and-a-half-size
curling iron, leaving the ends
out, and wrap each section in the
same direction so the waves
form an S-curve. A side part and
light misting of shine spray
enhance the overall glamour.
The look:
Soft waves and a messy part

How-to:
Start by priming wet hair with mousse and roughdrying it. Get the biggest curling wand you can find
(two inches in diameter is ideal) and twist big
sections around the wand (or the clamped barrel if
youre using an iron), sliding them of almost
immediately. You want more of an indentation than
an actual wave, says Garren.

ex Pistols. Led Zeppelin. Your skin-care

products. Theyve all got one thing in
common, and its not a knack for hiding massive hangovers. They all work
better in groups. Layering skin-care
products can make each one more
potent, so youre more likely to see
a very noticeable difference in your
skin, says Ranella Hirsch, a dermatologist in Boston. People always want
to know the secrets to great skin. Well, this is a big one.
Asian women have been wearing multiple moisturizers
and oils on their skinsimultaneouslyfor decades, but
124
the concept is just starting to take hold in the U.S. And

before you say, But I already layer, were not talking about
putting one moisturizer over one serum. Please. Thats
skin-care-layering amateur hour. Were talking about sandwiching a cream and an oil between an essence (if you dont
know what that is, keep reading), two serums, and a sunscreen. A cosmetics companys ultimate fantasy? For sure.
But, done right, a multistep regimen can also have a gorgeous payoff for you. So what types of ingredients should
you be layering? In what order do you apply them? And why
do great bands break up? Cant answer that last one, but
we can help you fine-tune the perfect wrinkle-smoothing,
acne-busting, radiance-making skin-care routine.

The Rules
of
Instead of just slapping on five creamsthen washing your face

because, seriously, that stuff is heavyfollow the lead of the pros:
Start light. Serumsthe thinnest

productsgo first, because a) that just
makes sense and b) they deliver active
ingredients into the skin most efficiently,
says Hirsch. Plus, theyre easy to customize.
Pick two or three serums that each treat
one of your concerns: formulas with peptides for wrinkles (we like Olay Regenerist
Regenerating Serum), salicylic acid
for oily skin (try Murad T-Zone
Pore Refining Serum), and
licorice or aloe to calm redness (like First Aid Beauty AntiRedness Serum).
Add an antioxidant.
Vitamin C is one ingre dient every skin
type needs. It brightens,
protects against sun damage,
and promotes collagen production, says cosmetic
chemist NiKita Wilson,
who recommends using
a potent serum (such
as Obagi Professional-C
Serum 15%).
Take a coffee break. If you
give each product a
minute to dry, it
wont pill, says Fredric Brandt, a dermatologist in New York
City and Miami. I
flow my skin care
in with the rest of my
morning routine. For example, I put on a product, have coffee, then put
on a second product, then brush my teeth.
Lock it down. Moisturizer is key to
any layering routine because it seals
serums on your skin, which can make
them more effective, says Wilson. Feel free
to keep it basic: Try Cetaphil Daily Facial
Moisturizer SPF 15 for normal and oily skin
and Simple Replenishing Rich Moisturizer
for dry skin.
2
3
Know when to go in reverse. If your

sensitive skin reddens at the thought
of using even one treatment product, try putting on a simple, fragrance-free
moisturizer first and then serums on top.
The cream will reduce the potency of the
serums, says Hirsch, but theyll also be less
likely to cause irritation.
Add an oil. In small doses, oils
make skin radiant. Put them
on dry areas after creams
as a rule, oils can penetrate moisturizers, but not vice versa. We like
LOral Paris Age Perfect Glow
Renewal Facial Oil, with
sunflower-seed and jojoba
oils. Skip the oil if youre
wearing more than two serums
under your moisturizer, thoughat
some point, you cant avoid
looking greasy.
Dont forget protection. Sunscreen
is your last step in
the morning, says Jeannette Graf, a dermatologist
in Great Neck, New York. It
sits on top of your skin,
so if it goes on first, it
prevents other ingredients from penetrating. Coppertone
ClearlySheer Faces
for Sunny Days SPF 30
is lightweight enough to
layer over multiple products.
Have a nightcap. Its not as sexy as a
snifter of whiskey. But ending your
nighttime routine with a retinoid makes
you look a whole lot younger. (Every dermatologist recommends this anti-aging superingredient.) I put my retinol over a serum and
a creammoisturizing helps retinol to penetrate better with less irritation, says Brandt,
who uses his own Do Not Age Transforming
Pearl Serum and Time Reversing Cream.
Performance
Enhancers
Essences are an Asian
skin-care import that are
as light as toners
only instead of cleansing
or stripping the skin
with alcohol, they hydrate
it with a humectant, like
glycerin. Essences soften
dead skin cells on
the stratum corneum, so
anything you put on
top penetrates the skin
more effectively,
says Joshua Zeichner, the
director of cosmetic
and clinical research at
Mount Sinai Medical
Center in New York City.
We like SK-II Facial
Treatment Essence, Hada
Labo Tokyo Replenishing
Hydrator, and Clinique
Even Better Essence
Lotion. You can wear
essences under serums
for an extra hydrating
or anti-aging punch
without feeling them on
your skin, says Zeichner.

Layering
Dangerous Liaisons
Some ingredients dont play nicely with others. Split up these pairs.
1. Beta or alpha hydroxy acids (like salicylic, glycolic, and lactic) and retinoids: Layering these exfoliating ingredients can leave
skin red and peeling. You can use bothbut
one in the morning and one at night.
2. Benzoyl peroxide and retinoids: You probably wont risk irritationbut you will waste
your time. The two ingredients have been
shown to deactivate each other, says Brandt.
3. Vitamin C and beta or alpha hydroxy

acids: The acid changes the pH of vitamin C
enough to destabilize it, making its antioxidant properties inefective, says David Bank,
a dermatologist in Mount Kisco, New York. If
youre wearing a serum with salicylic or glycolic acid, choose an antioxidant serum with
heartier free-radical fghters, like green tea or
resveratrol. (Try Replenix Serum CF.)
Layering skin-care products can

make each one more potent,
so youre more likely to see a very
noticeable difference in your skin.
But Hold Up...

Why exactly
cant you just use
one multitasker?
On harried mornings and
late nights, you
certainly canbut it wont
transform your skin
as dramatically as a more
involved routine.
You can only fit so many
ingredients into a
formula, so one product
really cant do it all,
says Graf. Plus, when you
layer multiple products,
less of the formulas
evaporate, so more active
ingredients penetrate
the skin. And theres an
immediate result of
adding a few steps to your
morning regimen: Your
skin will look dewierand
stay that way all day.

Starter Kit
The serums in the new Skin Inc line ofer an easy intro to layering. Each one treats
a diferent skin issue, and theyre all formulated to work together without causing irritation
or breakouts. The colorful beads suspended in lightweight serum break open on the
skin, releasing ingredients that are proven problem solvers. Say you have sensitive, dry skin:
Pair Relieve (with anti-inflammatory licorice) with Replenish (with hyaluronic acid).
Want to smooth lines, too? Add Regenerate, with a retinol derivative. The serums are
also fragrance-free, so you dont have to deal with competing scents.

I started layering skin care

when I lived in Korea for several
years, and my combination skin
is now brighter and less prone
to blackheads. My night routine starts with
a double cleanse. I smooth an oil, like Innisfree Olive Real Cleansing Oil (1), over my
face to remove all of my makeup. Afer I
rinse away the oil, I use a gentle face wash,
like Skin Food Aloe Vera Foaming Cleanser
(2). Next I work my way from the lightest
texturesa toner, like Snail Bee High Content Skin (3), and a moisturizing essence,
like SK-II Essence (4) or Missha Time Revolutionto the heaviest, a rich serum, like

serums, moisturizers, and always sunscreen. I start with a spray-on toner. I like
Yon-Ka Paris Lotion Yon-Ka PNG or Mario
Badescu Facial Spray With Aloe, Herbs, and
Rosewater (3). Next comes serum. I mix a
few; I like combining something with peptides, like Mario Badescu Peptide Renewal
Serum, with vitamin C, such as SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic (4). Then a peptide cream
goes on top. I like Mario Badescu Peptide
Renewal Cream. Last comes sunscreen. At
night, I wash my face really well again,
because I have to have my makeup done a
lotJohnsons Baby Oil with a warm washcloth is one great way to take it of. I use
toner and serum again, and Cl de Peau

that falls above the knee
and has fluttering sleeves

With all that softness, a

off too precious: Find
one in black, white, or both.
Theres a perfect winter

coat out there, and it may
even bear a resemblance
to the one already
hanging in your closet,
with one notable
difference: Its light green,
or pale salmon, or dusty
pink. But its not black,
charcoal, or navy. Wear
your coat of pistachio
mohair (the fuzziness
enhances the softness of
the look) with pants and
a top of another color, but
in a similarly dusty
tone to keep the whole
outfit refreshing.
Draped trousers are

emblematic of the entire
seasonfluid, versatile,
and user-friendly.
And heres the drumroll
part: They can make your
legs look inches longer.
Heres how: 1. Look for
pleated wool pants that are
cut generously through
the legs. 2. Wear them with
a narrow, tucked-in top
to accentuate the waist.
3. Step into heels and
make sure the hem almost

recalling a time when
bathing suits were

were racy. To bring it
up-to-date, wear a midilength dress or skirt
with lace-up boots or
shoes that are slightly
clunky and rugged.
(Paired with this hemline,
stilettos or spindly
shoes can look too prim.)
As long as there are

designers are making a
subtle change by replacing
the white threads of

movie, also starring Bradley Cooper
and Emma Stone, in Hawaii. Ill read

McAdams doesnt talk about acting as if its a great mystery. She isnt

McAdams express believable surprise as a woman suffering from

and is therefore shocked when he

stark-naked. I had to have a very
intense reaction, McAdams says.
Tatum did his part: He wore a prosthetic penis, which hed asked the
props department to create on the
sly. He didnt want me to have to
pretend too much, so he was helping
me out, I guess. She smirks. It was
very professional.
Jokes aside, McAdams takes
her job seriously. Given her drive
and self-discipline, its not hard to
imagine the actress as a young figure skater. The daughter of a nurse
and a mover, she and her younger
brother and sister grew up in St.
Thomas, Ontario, where McAdams
spent years pursuing the sport,
only stopping when it became clear
she wasnt going to train for the
Olympics. In addition to a lot of
sparkly blue eye shadow, the experience gave her a deep understanding
of what it means to commit to something you love.
And she continues to take her
career one careful step at a time. Im
hoping its going to be complicated
and have lots of dead ends and corners and sharp turns, McAdams says,
popping another pepper into her
mouth. I hope it cant be summed up
too easily when Im done. u

McAdams, who
originally auditioned for Lohans role
as Cady Heron. Its just funny to hear
that because you never know what
people are thinking. We all try to act
like weve got it together.
Although McAdams has a lighthearted way about her, one gets the
sense that she doesnt make decisions
lightly. Early in her career, McAdams
backed out of a photo shoot for the
cover of Vanity Fairs Hollywood
issue after discovering, at the eleventh hour, that she was expected to
pose nude. It was a difference of
creative opinion, she says, looking
back. I think the more you spend
time in this business, the more you
realize that those things are OKto
have creative disagreements and to
go a different way. It gives you more
confidence to be in the moment and
make the choice thats right for you.

With Ryan Gosling in The Notebook We just wanted to

Thats my prosthetic belly popping out of

With Russell Crowe in State of Play I love

seeing how far you can stretch your look and
how close you can get to your idea of the
character. Shes rosy. Shes a newbie. Shes
very green. Shes quite naive and trying to
act like she knows more than she does. I
think the hairstylist used some of my natural
body there.

but I hadnt tested sitting
down, and its so high....
When I sat down to watch
the movie, [the beading]
was digging so hard into my
neck. When the lights went
down, I wiggled out of it and
watched the whole movie,
and then kind of forgot I had
done that because I got
so comfortable. Then the
lights came up, and I was
like, Oh, my God. I wiggled
back in.
2011
With Owen Wilson in Midnight in Paris

Owen was so fabulous. I never
made the Woody AllenOwen Wilson
connection until I saw that movie.
Sometimes the lead actor is a reflection
of Woody. They had such a connection.
It was very private. They were always off
in the corner, kibitzing and laughing.

At the premiere of
The Vow in Los
Angeles I love a
bold lip. I like a bang.
I dont normally

thats the thing. Its

Im used to seeing on

That was a Vivienne

and it fit like a glove.
Ive learned now....
You have to practice
sitting down in it
because youre going
to be sitting through
the movie for an hour
and a half.
2013
With Noomi Rapace in Passion I was playing

an ad executive who had sort of run out
of ideas. Shed really lost herself. I felt like,
symbolically, all the color had gone out
of her. So I loved the idea of her being very
bleached out and then painted on. We had
really bold lips and then this sort of ghostly
washed-out hair. It was an idea. We ran
with it. This [shot] implies that its about us
having a love affair, which its not.
At the premiere of
The Time
Travelers Wife in
New York City
I love that dress.
It was actually
very comfortable.
I love wearing

the night my
family met Brad
Pitt. He produced

And those shoes were
incredible. You cant

There is nothing I
dont like to do at
the spa. Everything
but the fish.
I read something
about putting
some sort of snail
or slug on your
face. Its freaking
me out!
Have you ever had a spa

treatment that was too weird?
By Jeffrey Slonim
Kristen Wiig
No, I love all that stuff. I will have
those little fish eating my feet. I
love it. Well, maybe not all day long.
Some people love a simple, efficient Swedish massage. Others feel shortchanged
without exotic ingredients and contortionist techniques. We asked celebrities
at the Tiffany & Co. Blue Book Gala, the Academy Awards, and Montblancs ninetieth
anniversary dinner if a spa visit had ever been too unconventional. Some treatments
are appealing until they go terribly wrong. I got a fruit peel, said Rose McGowan.
My face swelled up to three times the normal size. Nightmare! Ali Larter tried
an aromatherapy massagewith one unfortunate ingredient. It burned, she said.
I had to race my ass out of there and get into a shower. No more peppermint! Rosario
Dawson endured a vigorous rubdown at a tea bath in Korea. I was scrubbed with
thick pads that felt like Brillos, she said. Youre naked, and because theyre scrubbing
your body so hard, youre thinking, There goes my nipple. It just flew over there.

Im pretty lazy.

No. I had the

most incredible
Shiatsu massage
today, so I
feel very chill.
I started this
morning being
pummeled
like Kobe beef.
Yes, I tried a
bamboo massage
once. It was
extremely painful.
I will not be
doing that again.
Kate Hudson
Yes, I had this whole-body yogurt
thing, with some strange
pollen. The smell was just so bad;
I couldnt take it. Then they
washed me off with milk, which
sent me through the roof. It
was just too much milk product.
LUKE VACHON/SPLASH NEWS (BELLE)
Nothing is too weird for me. You

know me: Im German.
These things dont freak me out
nudity and all that.
