Contributing editor, The Demi Show
Photographer, The Demi Show
When did you first hear about Demi Lovato? I had an

impression of her as a Disney star, but I really knew of
her because of my three-and-a-half-year-old son. He loves
Frozen, and she sings a version of Let It Go at the end.
What surprised you the most about her? There are many
causes that celebrities get behindwomens rights,
the environmentbut very rarely mental health. She is so
articulate when talking about her own struggles
with bipolar disorder and drugs.
@brookehauser
You first photographed Lovato for Allure a year ago. Has

she changed since then? Shes become so much more
confident and comfortable in her own skin. Why did you
become a photographer? I got into it because I was a
frustrated artist. You work on a painting for a month, and if it
doesnt work, you feel like you wasted a month. Taking a picture
takes a split second, and if it doesnt work, you take another
one. Whos your favorite subject? My wife. But she lets me
take so few pictures of her.

JENNIFER YEE
Allure senior market editor

Whats the best part of your job? Being out all over the city
and involved in the world. Fashion market editors are treasure
hunters. We dig to find the perfect piece of clothing for a
shot. How would you describe your personal style? One
day, Ill feel like I need to be Victorian in ruffles, and the next
day, Im in a 90s slip dress. What do you do when youre not
working? I like to pretend I have a side job as a professional
dancer: I take ballet classes.
@jennifernicoleyee
MARNI GOLDEN
Entertainment director, #outfitoftheday
and The Demi Show
What was the idea behind bloggers styling and posing
for the fashion story? We wanted to show how people
can make spring fashion their own, and bloggers do that in
an accessible way. How was this different from a regular
fashion shoot? It was the bloggers own photographers,
their own hair and makeup; they picked each location;
they produced it.

Romance Language and Fresh Takes
What was your favorite look from the romantic hair story?
Theres one twisty style that reminds me of The Princess Bride.
It makes you want to throw on a corset and run down a sweeping
staircase. All the romantic hair looks are a little messy, so they
allow room for error, which I need. What would surprise most
people about your job? How diverse it is. I had breakfast
with a supermodel one morning and was writing about vibrators
by the afternoon.

Editorial assistant, Shower Power
What was the biggest challenge of this story? I hadnt paid

attention to philosophy since I studied Aristotle in college,
and I interviewed Peter Singer, a famous moral philosopher.
I read everything of his that I could. It felt like studying for
finals. What would you love to write about next? The return
of grunge. I love everything 90s. Current favorite beauty
product? Yves Saint Laurent Baby Doll Kiss & Blush lip and
cheek stain in 11, a deep berry red thats moody and goes
with my black and gray sweaters.
@lizsiegs_
@lizsiegs
What was the trickiest part of writing this story? Making

something we do every day sound newnot just a checklist
of turn water on, lather body with soap, rinse. Luckily, there have
been a ton of nifty innovations with shower products. Did
anything surprise you? Water molecules form a Fort Knoxlike
barrier around each hair strand. Masks hydrate better when
applied to dry hair. What do you listen to while writing? Rain
soundsbut I dont want any errant baboon noises or chirping
birds or bongos.

Why do you think clean fragrances are making a comeback?

Theyre familiar scents that are just intended to smell good.
When I was testing them, I got more comments than with
anything else I wear. I think its the universal attraction to soap. It
doesnt have mystique, but it does have appeal. Whats the first
scent you ever loved? My mom wore Nina Riccis LAir du
Temps, and I love it because it smells like home. Its interesting
whenever I interview perfumers, they always go back to
their moms. Thats what gets people started on fragrance.

It might be the most basic beauty product,

but it can get awfully luxurious. We work
ourselves into a lather over soap. KATE SULLIVAN
2800 B.C.: Period when the Babylonians boiled fat and

ashes to create a cleaning solution for clothes and cookware.
2nd: Century Greek physician and surgeon Galen
recommended using soap to prevent skin diseases.
1200: Approximate year the Spanish and Italians first
made soap from goat fat and beech bark. In Castile,
Spain, olive oil was added to create the first white bar.
141: Number of yearsfrom 1712 to 1853that soap
was taxed as a luxury item in England.
1863: Year Procter & Gamble chemist James Gamble
noted in his diary, I made floating soap today. I think
well make all of our stock that way. The idea was
shelved for years until the company launched Ivory soap
and marketed its purity with the slogan It floats.
1927: Year American soap manufacturersafraid that cars,
paved roads, and widespread electricity led to less-dirty
customersbanded together and formed the Cleanliness
Institute, which started a hygiene campaign at schools,
encouraging a daily Keep Clean parade.
$25: Fine Wisconsin judge Harvey L. Neelen levied against

a woman for yelling obscenities in 1953. She was also
advised to wash her mouth out with soap to wipe out the
bad language in your mouth.
24: Age of future First Lady Jacqueline Bouvier when she
met actress Zsa Zsa Gabor on a plane and asked for her
skin-care secret. Gabor told her about a pricey black soap
made with mud from the Dead Sea by celebrity facialist
Erno Lazslo. Today, the soap costs $45.
50: Percent of her beauty that Audrey Hepburn once
declared she owed to my mother.
50: Percent she said she owed to Erno Lazslo.
64: Percentage of women who wash their hands at least
six times a day, according to a global survey.
48: Percent of men who do the same.
33
Number of people who contracted typhoid in 1906

and 1907 after eating food made by infected cook
Typhoid Mary Mallon. Soon afterward, restaurant
owners began to post signs requiring employees to
wash their hands before returning to work.
JULIA KENNEDY/TRUNK ARCHIVE
SOAP
1930: Year the radio show Painted Dreams debuted. It is

considered the first soap opera, so named because the
shows biggest advertisers were soap and detergent makers.
Cover Look
Demi
Lovato
The scoop from
behind the scenes
at Allures shoot.
The fashion team lined

up rows of stilettos.
Hair Lesson
To make Lovatos short
cut look edgy, hairstylist
Garren blew out her
hair with a large round
brush, then switched to a
medium one to create
a piecey flip at the bottom.
Batman made a surprise appearance at Lovatos

first Allure cover shoot, which was photographed
by Alexi Lubomirski in the penthouse of a New
York City hotel. We dont mean the Caped Crusader
but the singers tiny black puppy of the same name,
who pranced around the crew while Lovato perused
the racks of evening gowns and furs.
Lovatos puppy, Batman,

played with her at the shoot.
Dolce & Gabbana bra.
The singer sipped ginger-and-lemon tea while

getting her makeup done and chatting with
Allure creative director Paul Cavaco. Between
poses, as Drakes Hotline Bling played, Lovato
snacked on celery and carrots that shed brought
along. Toward the end of the day, her boyfriend,
Wilmer Valderrama, stopped by, and the couple sat
knee-to-knee on the couch, laughing and making
plans for the evening.
After the last photo was taken, Lovato slipped

back into her gray hoodie and sweatpants and
headed out to meet writer Brooke Hauser for
her Allure interview over foot massages at a downtown spa. Check it out on page 122. CHLOE METZGER
Photographed by Alexi
Lubomirski. Hair: Garren of
Garren New York. Makeup:
Hung Vanngo. Manicure: Sheril
Bailey. Prop stylist: Todd
Wiggins of Mary Howard Studio.
Fashion editor: Paul Cavaco.

Beyond the Cover

light on her cheek.

Lovato just released her fifth studio

album, Confident, and has a
new makeup collection, Lovatics

Makeup Lesson
Makeup artist Hung Vanngo wanted
to spotlight Lovatos freckles, so
he left her skin bare except for a
little concealer. He smudged
mauve shadow around her eyes
and blended on a rose cream
blush. On her lips: matte fuchsia
lipstick, applied with a brush.

Miss Pop
In The Good Life,

Singer, a professor of
bioethics at Princeton
University, shares his
tips for living morally.
Whats your
current main focus?
What people in
affluent countries
are doing to help
the global poor and
making sure that
what we do is as
effective as possible.
A lot of people
who give to charities
dont think about
how effective their
donations can
be. It surprised me
to discover in my
research the
differences in what
charities can achieve.
Some are hundreds
or thousands of
times more effective
than others.
Do you think people
are becoming more
or less generous?
More. There is
an effective altruism
movement in
the millennial
generation. Some
people think theyre
self-focused, but
I have the
opposite view.
A soothing shower
can be hard on
the skin. Gohara,
an associate
clinical professor
of dermatology at
Yale University,
explains why
in Shower Power.
Have you always
been interested
in skin?
When I was little, I
watched a lot of MTV.
My parents wanted to
encourage a more
educational activity,
so my dad gave
me a book about
my Egyptian
heritage. Pyramids,
schmyramids. I was
so into the Pharaoh
princesses hair, kohl
makeup, and skin.
If you had
to practice another
kind of medicine,
what would it be?
Psychiatry.
Interestingly, there
is a lot of psych
in dermatology.
What is the first
question people ask
when they find
out what you do?
Do I need
Botox? Or Is this
skin cancer?
Kendal, a makeup
artist for more than
30 years, created the
clean makeup looks
in Fresh Takes.
What was your first
makeup-artist job?
It was for a freebie
magazine called Girl
About Town in the
80s. I did the cover
and some pictures
inside, but I cant
remember what
the makeup was.
What is
your favorite thing
about a fresh
makeup look?
It allows you to play
up certain features.
By starting with a
clean base, you can
choose to accentuate
lips or eyes, or you
can keep a very
effortless feeling.
What unusual
tools are in your kit?
Brushes from
the art store. There
are some really
great ones for
eyeliner and lips.
What products do
you always carry?
Rose-water spray,
Smiths Rosebud
Salve, and Egyptian
Magic [cream].
For Clean Slate,

Behnke, a research
chemist in the
pharmaceutical
industry by day and
the founder of the
blog Colognoisseur
by night, gives
his take on the new
fresh fragrances.
Why perfume?
I studied fragrance
in a chemistry class,
so Im interested in
the aroma chemicals
and how perfumers
use them. But I also
love the artistry.
What was
your first fragrance?
Jovan Musk, for my
thirteenth birthday.
I saw in a magazine
that it would get
you girls.
Why arent
there any negative
reviews
on your blog?
Ill only review
something Ive worn
for two days. If I
dont like it, I dont
want to spend
two days wearing it.
How many
fragrances do
you own?
I stopped counting
years ago.
Miss Pop, a nail

artist known for her
geometric designs,
gives her take
on the new graphic
nail-art trend
in Graphic Arts.
When did you start
doing nail art?
I actually got in
trouble for wearing
crazy nail colors
in middle school,
then I picked it back
up after watching
the 80s movie Earth
Girls Are Easy.
Theres a scene
where these crazy
airbrushed nails
flash across the
screen. From then
on, it became an
obsession.
Where do you get
your inspiration?
Fashion, music, and
living in New York
City, where things
are always changing.
It pushes me to
keep my art fresh
and exciting.
Any tricks
for taking a better
manicure photo?
When all else fails,
use Facetune. Its
like an idiotproof
Photoshop.

Cartoonishly long and unapologetically artificiallooking, lashes were more than a supporting act on
the spring runways. Makeup artist Tom Pecheux
called his creation at Marni a crazy, magic forest of
lashes. I wanted them to be a little spooky. At Louis
Vuitton, makeup artist Pat McGrath glued on clusters
of spiky lashes, and at Mary Katrantzou, makeup
artist Lucia Pieroni painted the center section

wyneth Paltrow has told us to detox our diets and steam

our vaginas, and shes not stopping there. She also
thinks our beauty routines could use a cleanup. As the
creative director for Juice Beauty makeup, starting with
the new organic (and vegan) line, she helped design 78
shades of foundation, eye shadow, blush, liquid lipstick,
and more. Step one was handing over her favorite
makeup to the Juice team. I said, Here is the best gloss
or concealerwe need to re-create it, she says. God bless every brand thats
made natural makeup, but its not long-lasting makeup. Everything in this
line was formulated to endure. Paltrow also wanted everything to be free of
parabens, silicones, talc, petroleum, and artificial dyes and fragrances.
When you put makeup on your skin, 80 percent of it is absorbed into your
body, she says. Actually, the numbers more like 20 percent, says David Bank,
an assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Columbia Presbyterian
Medical Center in New York City. But when we tested the line to fact-check
another Paltrow proclamationRegardless of whether its organic, this is
just beautiful makeupit was unassailable.
JENNY BAILLY
PRODUCT REVIEW
DOVE DRY OIL MOISTURE BODY WASH

What it is: A creamy and fragrant body wash
What it does: Rinses away daily grime and coddles the hell out of dry skin
Key ingredients: Moroccan argan oil, stearic acid, and palmitic acid
(moisturize); sodium lauroyl glycinate (cleanses)
How it looks/feels/smells: The thick white cream is speckled with small
yellow spheres of dry argan oil (dont worry, theyre not microbeads)
and has a warm, vanilla-meets-caramel scent.
Why we like it: Those little yellow balls of argan oil break as you rub
the cream on your body, releasing little packages of moisture on
skin. Even our driest-skinned tester noticed hers was softer and
less flaky without adding a post-shower lotion. And the feeling
lasted until her next shower. The scent is almost exactly like Thierry
Mugler Angel and was codeveloped by Ann Gottlieb (the nose
behind Dior JAdore and Calvin Klein Obsession). Its intense in the
LINDSAY COLAMEO
shower and lingers softly on your skin.
TRICK OF THE TRADE
Instant Volume
The secret to cheating thicker
hair is also the secret to fewer color
appointments: root cover-up.
Strategically placed hair powder, like
our favorite, ColorWow, fools the
eye into seeing denser, more abundant
hair. I brush it right along the part
and around the face and the nape
of the neck if I do a bun or ponytail to
fill in any exposed scalp, says
hairstylist Jen Atkin, who even uses this
trick on clients with tons of hair, like
the Kardashians and Jenners. It makes
your hair appear fuller, especially in
photos. And if you have grays? Well, it
covers those, too. MADDIE ABERMAN

Itll be a while before candy-colored velour tracksuits
make a comeback. But if you havent touched lip gloss
since those dark fashion days, nows the time to reconsider. New formulas, like Rimmel London Oh My Gloss,
Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss, LOral Paris Infallible Pro-Matte
Gloss, Sephora Collection Colorful Gloss Balm, and
Este Lauder Pure Color Envy Sculpting Gloss, deliver
lip-balm-level moisture and shine without the whole
hair-stuck-to-your-mouth issue. And they dont just
come in shimmery pink and nude. There are opaque
shades of car-paint red, cerulean, lemon yellow, and
dark plum, and our favorite new way to wear them is
by contrasting all that shine with matte skin. Groomed
eyebrows, a swipe of mascara, and thats all you need,
says makeup artist Robin Black. Anything more and
you might as well be back in 2003.
IRMA ELEZOVIC
In Korea, its common

to cover a sheet mask
with foil to prevent
evaporation. Now theres
a way to mimic that
effect. Este Lauders
new Advanced Night
Repair Concentrated
Recovery PowerFoil Mask
has an outer layer of
foil built in to intensify
serum absorption. Unlike
cotton or biocellulose
(the makings of a typical
mask), foil is occlusive
basically, it lets nothing
in or out, says cosmetic
chemist Randy Schueller.
About that serum: It
has double the amount of
plumping hyaluronic
acid as the original Night
Repair, plus calming
extracts and something
called ChronoluxCB,
which helps repair skin.
The foil layer makes
the mask harder to mold
to your face than other
masks, but because it
drives the ingredients into
your skin more quickly,
you only have to keep it
on for ten minutes right
before bed. LEXI NOVAK
ay what you want about them (and

were sure you have), but Kim, Khlo,
and Kourtney Kardashian are putting
out really great hair products
including a Best of Beauty Award
winning styling tool, a shimmery hair
spray were obsessed with, and now
hair treatments. The new line includes a foamy
shampoo, a hair-softening mask, a rose-scented
conditioner, and a smoothing elixir (a mix of oils and
silicones), all of which contain black-seed oil and are
formulated to bring shine back to hair thats seen
one too many hot tools. Black-seed oil contains
antioxidants that can help strengthen the hair
follicles and is anti-inflammatory, so it can soothe
irritated scalps, says cosmetic chemist Joseph
Cincotta. And Kim has been the perfect tester.

Oil Rejuvenating Shampoo, Black Seed Oil Rejuvenating
Conditioner, Black Seed Oil Liquid Hydration Masque, and

When I dyed my hair platinum blonde, it really took

a hit. I have breakage, and I work really hard to not
overstyle it, she says, noting that she sprays the
Black Seed Oil Leave-in Conditioner Mist through
her hair every day to combat knots. Everyone just
wants really thick, gorgeous, healthy hair, she says.

Whos this new model named Beyonc? makeup artist Sir

John asked his boss, makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury, at Tom
Fords runway show in 2010. Noits Beyonc, she replied.
Two years later, he received a voicemail out of the blue from
the megastars team. She had been silently following his
career and was impressed with his work. He didnt even have
an agent when Beyonc offered him a contract.
John has been by Beys side on two world tours while
his list of celebrity clients (Chrissy Teigen, Karlie Kloss)
has grown. Last year, LOral Paris named him its celebrity
makeup artist, tasked with developing products and videos.
I love something that grabs your attention, he says, like the
violet lips he gave model Joan Smalls for the Metropolitan
Museum of Arts Costume Institute Gala in 2014, which
broke the Internet before that was even a thing.
In person, Johns energy is infectiously positive, which he
says is important when youre the last person someone sees
before singing in front of 70,000 people. So is confidence,
which doesnt always have to do with lipstickbut sometimes
thats a quick shortcut. Oh, and for the record: Sir John is no

about triphenyl phosphate?
Thats the latest chemical
to arouse suspicion, after a
recent study found that it
can act as an endocrine
disruptor. But a new type of
nail polish hopes to bring
peace of mind to your
manicure, with formulas
made mostly of water. Both
Little Ondine and Buly 1803
polishes use natural
pigments and resins and
are entirely odorless
(meaning you can paint
your nails on a plane or
train). The shades range
from standard nudes to
cobalt and are
superopaqueone coat
delivers full-on saturated
color. In our testing, both
formulas dried in about five
minutes and resisted chips
and fading better than
traditional polish for three
days. And they were cake
to remove. Both formulas
gently peel off, though the
companies suggest
removing them with
rubbing alcohol. (Yep, we
spent so much time
marveling over the
ingredient list that we
forgot to read the
directions.)

EXPERT ADVICE ON BUYING A VALENTINES GIFT AND STRAIGHTENING UP FOR A PARTY
HOW TO
LOOK WELL
RESTED
Drink up. When I look beat,

the very first thing I do in
the morning is hydrate. I
like to juice vegetables, but
coconut water is great, too.
Then I layer a serum and a
lotion on the face while its
damp, which helps seal in
moisture, blur fine lines, and
create a base for makeup.
Erase dark circles. A
concealer just lightens your
skin, but a corrector applied
first under your eyes
will neutralize discoloration.
Pink formulas counteract
blue and purple, and peach
corrects brown or gray.
Use just a dab and blend it,
starting at the inner corner
of the eye, then follow with a
hydrating serum concealer.
Create light. That white or
ivory shadow you normally
use below your brows? Skip
it there and brush it just
below the inner corners; this
will open the eyes. And
while youre at it, dust a little
on your cheekbonesit
adds this crazy glow.
Go for creamy and sheer.
When your skin looks dry,
avoid anything powdery
or matte. Swap foundation
for tinted moisturizer, and
use cream blush. Nows also
the time for lip gloss or a
sheer moisturizing lipstick.

H
OW TO BUY A GREAT (NONCHEESY)
VALENTINES DAY GIFT
Give an experience. If the person
youre shopping for loves food, find
a cooking or wine-tasting class you
can take together. Tell your love
about it over a bottle of wine on February 14, but book it for a later date.
It will feel much less contrived. Or
if your significant other loves vintage
cars, rent one for a day and go for a
mini road trip.
Play tourist. Treat your own city as if
youre a visitor, and go on a boat ride
or walking tour. Do that thing you keep
saying we should really do. It could
be a scenic and romantic adventure

or a playful onetake a boat ride
around the Statue of Liberty or a drive
up the Pacific Coast Highway.
Use your insider knowledge. If you
know someone loves candy, put
together a box of childhood favorites.
For me, it would be all the stuff from
the 70sCharleston Chew, Smarties,
Bit-O-Honey. And theres also something very romantic about giving your
favorite book with a note about why
you love it; if you can find an early or
leather-bound edition, all the better.
Remember your friends. No need to

focus all your efforts on your significant otherthis is a holiday when you
can give something to a friend that
would seem almost too personal on
another day. Im a sucker for a great
bath gel or body lotion from Penhaligons, a beautiful Assouline book,
or a Diptyque Baies candle. But if you
want to be a little cheeky about it, you
can wrap up a gorgeous piece of lingerie. On any other day, that might be
weird, but not on Valentines.

HOW TO FAKE A CLEAN HOUSE
Declutter ruthlessly. Put mail, papers, shoes, pet toysanything thats on the floor, a
counter, or a tablein a basket and remove it from the room. That will immediately make any
space look cleaner. And designate a no admittance zone where you can store everything
out of sight. Mine is the upstairs bedroom.
Focus your efforts. Figure out the messiest part of a room and clean that first. For a lot of
people, its the kitchen counters. I have a 16-year-old son and dogs, so for me, its the floors.
I hit them with the vacuum for a few minutes; it does wonders.
Zero in on sinks. A clean sink makes the rest of the kitchen or bathroom look tidy. Put dirty
dishes in the dishwasher, wipe the sink (including the faucet) with a damp Mr. Clean Magic
Eraser, and then dry it with a paper towel or microfiber cloth. It creates the same spotless
look as a four-step powder-and-scrub process. In the bathroom, fold the towels nicely and
stash anything personal, like your toothbrush, out of sight.
Always be closing. Shut closet and bathroom doors, shower curtains, toilet seats, drawers,
and cabinets. Finish by straightening picture frames and pillows. That instantly makes your
home look well organized and under control.
Set the mood. Dim the lights and light a scented candle. If you cant see it, its not going to
bother you as much.

THE MAKEUP PRO
KICKING THE HABIT
By Jillian Dempsey
veryone gets in makeup ruts. Its inevitable: You find a look that works on you;
you master it; you start doing itevery single day. For years and years. Ive seen
this happen to women of all ages, even makeup artists. Some ruts are more common than others (hello, pinkish-beige lip gloss!), but every single one of them is
worth reevaulating. Im not saying your lipstick or eye shadow isnt working for
you, but what feels like a risk today could be your favorite tomorrow. Of course, trying a
new look is scary, butdeep breathswell get through this together.
Rihanna
THE RUT: Wearing the exact same thickening
black mascara since you were 17 years old.

THE FIX: Dont freak out, but I suggest giving up
mascara altogether. Instead, use a lash curlerit is the
single most important tool for any makeup artist in the
world. Youll be shocked at how effective it is at making
your eyes appear open and wider, even sexier. If you
want definition on the lash line, swipe on Chanel Slate
eye shadow as liner. And bam! Super on fleeeek.
Kate Hudson
THE RUT: Owning 12 shades of lipstick but
wearing only the shiny pinkish-beige one.

THE FIX: On this one Ill let you stay in your comfort zone
sort of. You can stick with the same neutral shade, but
look for it in a matte formula. Its chic and flattering and feels
more modern than a superglossy version. M.A.C. Lovelorn
is one of my favorites and looks beautiful on all skin tones.
THE RUT: If its Friday night,
its black eyeliner time.

THE FIX: Aubergine, teal,
sapphire...hey, come on!
Theres a world of color out
there, and its a million times
more exciting than the black
smoky effect youve been doing
since college. (Personally, I
love Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes
eyeliner in 12L, an awesome
greenish blue.) I bet youll think
your eye color is way more
vibrant once you mix a cool jewel
tone into your repertoire.

to ignore all the stuff we stash behind a door. Its easy to assign
the same out-of-sight, out-of-mind logic to drawers and cabinets,

Once we get things in order, theres this palpable sense of relief.
File it away. Every organizer on earth (well, all the ones we

position, like files lined up in a drawer, instead of stacked
in columns. (Just fold them as usual, then flip the pile so it

more square feet for a beauty

beauty vloggers YouTube channels. Were talking guest rooms, garages, and
basements transformed into meticulously organized walk-in vanities. On the high end, beauty rooms have always been somewhat popular.
Ive even installed refrigerated drawers for skin

Melanie Charlton, the founder and CEO of Closette in New York City (shes built closets for

On top of my vanity, I use some small decorative flower pots for my

brushes, with oven-dried rice inside to keep them standing up; a small
cake stand for my toiletries; and some pretty letter sorters for some of
the palettes I want to have easy access to.
I use DVD/CD acrylic boxes to hold my old-style M.A.C. palettes,
since theyre exactly the right size to fit in the grooves.
I save pretty perfume and tea boxes, as well as nice bags from stores I
love, on display and keep samples in there. For things like cotton swabs

its highly likely you enjoyed one today. You probably think you have

water, which flattens rough patches, so its tougher to exfoliate wet skin, says Mona Gohara, an associate clinical professor of dermatology at Yale University. Instead, grab your
favorite scrub and spread it over your skin while its still
dry. (We like sugar-based ones, like Burts Bees Cranberry
& Pomegranate Sugar Scrub.) Gohara also recommends
grabbing a soft-bristle brush (like the Body Shop Round

body in concentric circles all over.

Do the boring stuff. Were not going to give you a dissertation here on how to shave, wash your special spots, and
shampoo and condition your hair, but we will say that nows
the best time to do it all, since the steam from the warm water
opens the hair cuticle, which helps conditioner smooth each
strand as much as possible on wet hair. And your leg stubble
is soft enough to shave without causing nicks or ingrowns.

Pat down. You are not a car; you dont need to be buffed dry.
Each time you rub yourself with a towel, you scrape off the
protective epidermal layer of your skin cells, which basically
undoes everything you applied in the shower, says Gohara.
So when we say pat, we mean pat, as gingerly as you would at
teatime with the queen. You can also just bundle up in your
softest, plushest robe, and let the fabric gently wick away the
excess water from your skin.
Mask it again. Bring your mask routine full circle with a
sheet mask infused with glycerin or hyaluronic acid. One
made of cellulose or hydrogel will really drive the hydrating
ingredients into your skin and restore moisture. (We like
SkinCeuticals Biocellulose Restorative Masque.)

The Interwebs is rife with recipes for homemade coffee scrubs.
Theyre cheap, theyre great exfoliators, and theyre full of
caffeine, one of the only ingredients that (temporarily) smooths
cellulite. But before you bring your Intelligentsia grounds into
the bathroom: Coffee scrubs are among the worst things you can
put down your drain, says Jim Steinle, the president of Atomic
Plumbing in Virginia Beach, Virginia. They mix with the oils in your

White Linen, arrived in 1978,
reflecting a wider cultural shift. Before the 70s, men were
the ones buying perfume for women, says
Mark Behnke, a chemist and the founder of
the fragrance blog Colognoisseur. Fragrance
was considered an intimate, highly personal
giftalmost on the level of lingerie. But as
women began to flood the workforce, they
moved away from the voluptuous old classics for practical, professional reasons: Clean
scents are inoffensive. No one in the elevator
was going to shoot you a nasty look for wearing White Linen, a scent that was poetic in
its simplicity and just sexless enough to purchase for oneself.
During the 1990s, clean translated
into fragrances with citrusy notes, palatecleansing alternatives to the decades strong,
sweet gourmand confections, such as Thierry
Mugler Angel. They had a splashy, transparent appeal but faded quickly, causing enthusiasm to wane as well. People equate longevity

almost 40 years ago. Were able to take a molecule, isolate

it, and tune it to the exact effect that we want. That effect
is polished and pristineand literal in its interpretation
of clean. These fresh-smelling molecules dont have the
rough edges of natural materials. Take Iso E Super: Its
a lucid, uplifting version of cedar, whereas the real thing
has a pencil-shaving, hamster-cage quality, Behnke
explains. The same is true of Hedione, which mimics jasmine but without the flower extracts animalic skank.
All of this innovation means that the abstract visual of sheets snapping in the breeze has been joined by
more objective imagery. The bottle for Calvin Klein CK2
has the long, sleek curve and high-tech form of a test
tube. Moschino Fresh Couture is a little more ironic (but
equally practical) in its design: The flacon is a dead ringer for a bottle of Windex; according to the company, the
goal was to evoke a product design that has no aspirational value. None of this is to say that clean scents lack
nuance. Theyre soft and expansive and have a weightless
sort of depth. They translate the idea of comfort and
calm, says perfumer Francis Kurkdjian. When youre
walking down the street or sitting on the subway, its like
they form this pure, protective bubble around you.

PLAN
Pretty is as pretty does

from fresh makeup and soft
hair to ethical eating
and the beauty of charity.

SOFT
TWISTS
Twisting back two sections of
hair isnt enough to make a style
romantic. To create a true
Princess Bride look, you also need
mussed-up texture. At Altuzarra
(shown here), hairstylist Odile
Gilbert prepped the models hair
with Moroccanoil Hydrating
Styling Cream while it was damp,
then dried it and pulled back
the loose twists. As for that texture?
She roughed up the hair with
her hands. We want the hair to feel
like they havent washed it for
two or three days, Gilbert said.
Poets never write about blowouts. There are no odes to a flatiron or

sonnets about shine serum. Romantic hairthe kind immortalized
by Yeats and Joyceis messy. Like the hair of the moment: Tousled,
twisty, and as beguiling as a melancholy heroine. By Danielle Pergament
112
ROMANCE
TANGLED
UPDOS
Nothing says whither and thou
as beautifully as a tousled updo.
At Alexander McQueen (shown
here), hairstylist Guido used
a needle to wrap thread around
tiny sections of hair, sewing
the hair together and pulling it so
the hairs go in different directions.
But its still very soft, he said.
At Alberta Ferretti, he punctuated
the twisty updo with gold elastics
and kept the hairline soft so it
doesnt feel too ordered and tight.

TEXTURE.
TEASED PONYTAILS
Making the preferred hairstyle of
cheerleaders and the U.S. womens national
soccer team seem romantic is easier than
youd think. For the LC Lauren Conrad show
(below), hairstylist Kristin Ess secured
models hair into low ponytails, sprinkled
texturizing powder on top of their heads
(dry shampoo works, too), and gently
loosened the perimeter near the hairline,
she said. Allow for a little bit of fallout
to soften the look. To add height and
elegance, stylists suggest teasing at the
crown before pulling your hair back.
AIRY CURLS
In hairstylist-speak, effortless is code for 18 products, two assistants,
and two, no, three hours. But at Stella McCartney, hairstylist Eugene
Souleiman defied that clich by washing the models hair, moisturizing
it with a protein mask, parting it down the center or leaving it with
no part at all, and then...zip. He let it air-dry. For model Frederikke Sofie
(above), the result was gorgeous, airy curls. (To avoid frizz, hairstylists
suggest keeping hands, brushes, and combs far, far away from spirals.)

Whether a heavy, gilded flower

barrette is more Elizabeth Bennet or
Jane Bennet is debatable (seriously,
its way more Jane). But regardless of
whos wearing it, this is a romantic
hair accessory if ever there were one.
Gilbert affixed silver or gold barrettes
from the Rodarte collection to models
hairlines (above and left). We
dried the hair with our hands to give it
a natural feeling, then put the barrettes
a little lower or higher than normal,
or maybe two on one side. We wanted
it to be a bit strange, she said.
RIBBONS
A black satin ribbon is a versatile
little number. At the Mary Katrantzou
show (right), one was tied around
the hair and neck so it looked like a
nineteenth-century choker from the
front and held the hair down in a
sheet in back. At Oscar de la Renta
(far right), Guido parted the hair
in the middle before pulling it into a
low, loose ponytail and tying it with
a black ribbon. Were half putting
the ribbon in so it kind of falls, he
said. Its not like a bow; its a half
bow. He loosened the pieces at the
hairline so wisps floated as the
models walked down the runway.

eye, you get the feeling that, at least some of the
time, shed rather be at home on the Internet. She
regularly visits Pinterest for wedding inspiration
(no immediate plans, she says: I had my wedding
planned out when I was ten) and home-renovation
ideas. Raised in Dallas by her mother and stepfather
(her parents divorced when she was two), Lovato
got her first big role, at age seven, on TVs Barney
& Friendsyes, the purple dinosaura credit that
amuses her to this day. The guy who played Barney
was actually hot. In order to be in that giant suit
all day, sweating and jumping around, you have to be ripped, Lovato says and
laughs. Lovato soon moved with her family to Los Angeles, where she began
auditioning for other television shows. She ultimately landed a part, at age 15,
in the 2008 Disney Channel movie Camp Rock, costarring the Jonas Brothers,
and got her own show, Sonny With a Chance.
In 2009, photos surfaced showing Lovato with cutting scars on her wrist,
and a year later, she sought treatment for bulimia. Ultimately, she decided to
come forward and address the issues. I realized I could help people, she says.
When a young star shares the unvarnished truth, she adds, it creates a conversationtheres an opening for children themselves to actually come forward
and say, This is what Im dealing with. Or I have a problem. I need help.
Maybe its her Disney training, but at times, Lovato sounds a bit like the star
of her own ABC Afterschool Special. She is hyperaware of her role-model duties
and has no shortage of learned lessons to share, especially when it comes to staying healthy, in body and in mind. She is a big proponent of self-carehence the
foot massages. On the road, she exercises regularly and relies on a nutritionist to
send her meals. My food choices dont rule my life anymore, she says.
She also counts on people in her life to keep her in check. Wilmer is
that person, she says of her boyfriend of around five years, actor Wilmer
Valderrama, 35; her best friend, Marissa, is another. Sometimes Ill isolate a
little bit. I wont reply to peoples text messages, or Ill just distance myself from
everyone unintentionally, and shes the first one to call me out on it, Lovato
says. Its because Im going through something. Im stressed or depressed.
Lovato says her late father was schizophrenic, and she started a program to
help people struggling with mental health or addiction problems pay for rehabilitation. But just as important, she has given visibility to these issues simply
by talking about them. (Among her many causes, she is the spokeswoman for
the campaign Be Vocal: Speak Up for Mental Health.)
Still, she is starting to become more tight-lipped about her personal life. I
dont want to alienate my love life from the public, because its such a huge part
of who I am, she says. Its a balancing act. Later, she adds, I cant always let
people in as much as they feel like they deserve to be let in.
Shes also setting more boundaries in terms of her personal space. Just last
night, she confronted two female fans who started complaining loudly when she
didnt stop to take a picture with themat midnightoutside her hotel. I heard
them start to talk, and one girl goes, Oh, really? Are you shitting me, youre just
going to walk inside? Youre tired? Lovato recalls. So I walked inside and called
my security guard. I was like, Go get that girl. Bring her in here. He brought the
girls in. I said, Listen, Im so grateful that you guys come to the hotel and support me, and I never want you to feel like I take you for granted. But I cannot
stop every single time, and that gives you no excuse to disrespect me...because I
have too much respect for myself. I ended up taking a picture with her. Lovato
shrugs. I didnt want to be mean, just, like, Hey, Im a human, too.

To Tell the Truth

According to a study from the University of Notre Dame,
adults who were instructed to speak honestly and sincerely,
not only about big things but also small things, were
less likely to suffer from nausea, sore throats, or headaches
than the participants in a control group (which is what
researchers call the rest of us, who lie through our teeth).
CLEANSE YOUR
PALATE
Eating ethically is not code for kale salads massaged
by Buddhist monks. Mark Bittman, the author of Food Matters:
A Guide to Conscious Eating (Simon & Schuster), has advice
on how to make sure your dinner isnt destroying the planet.
What does it mean to eat ethically?
Food should be nutritious, affordable, and greenthat
is, it should minimize environmental impact. And the
humans and animals involved in its production, sale, or
consumption should be treated with respect.
What should we do to eat ethically?
Eat more plants. Even if they are farmed industrially, they
use far fewer resources than animal products. Seven or
eight years ago, I started eating a strict vegan diet of only
unprocessed plant foods during the day. I eat nuts, grains,
legumes, vegetables, and fruits from the time I get up until
dinnertime, and then I eat whatever I like at dinner.
So we dont have to be vegans?
Not at all. There is plenty of meat that is sustainable and
responsible nowadays. Farmers markets are great because
you can ask questions about the meat, like where it came
from. Always engage in conversation. If I find a good source
of meat, I buy lots of it and keep it in my freezer.
What do we do when we eat out?
Cross your fingers? I mean, theres no reason for a
restaurant to tell you the truth. A lot of restaurants will say
their chicken was hatched and raised humanely or that
its wild salmon, but theres no way for you to know for sure.
If a restaurant has an impeccable reputation, Chez
Panisse [in Berkeley] for example, then I think you can rest
assured. There are restaurants like that in every city.
Give It Up
Not all charities were created equal, nor do they
distribute resources equally. We asked ethicist
Peter Singer for guidance on giving. GiveWell
is an excellent site for researching charities,
he says. Singer himself donates primarily
to three. Oxfam is an advocate for the poor,
and the poor need advocates. The Against
Malaria Foundation distributes bed nets that
protect against malaria. And Mercy for Animals
undercover investigations have enabled
people to see what factory farming is really
like. Every person who boycotts factory-farmed
animal products is reducing suffering.

Melinda Gates on
Volunteering
Yes, we should be organizing pledge drives for A Walk to
Save the Endangered Species of Indigenous Communities
of Southern Cleveland in our vegan slippers and multicolored ribbons, but who has the time? Well, Melinda Gates.
As a cochair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation,
Gates has practical, creative solutions for giving back
when youre really busy. (She would know.)
Whats your advice to someone who wants to

volunteer but doesnt have time? You can make a
huge difference even if its an hour a month. In the philanthropic community, a lot of organizations are really
small, and the common thread is that theyre on a tight
budget, so any service helps. Volunteer your services
around whatever it is that youre good at. I know a woman
who is a really good writer and has a head for numbers,
so she writes grants for a small organization. Ninety-five
percent of the hours she gives are from home. Its her
way of giving back. Another example is tutoring a young
child. Kids nowadays get tutored over Skype. To know
that the child actually succeeded at that test or that quiz
because you were a part of it? Its very, very fulfilling.
If more people thought about volunteering as a

means to happiness, would they do more of it? Its
not just about happiness. Its fulfilling in a deep way, and
it gets you to connect with people you might not otherwise connect with, and see parts of society you might not
see otherwise. My kids and I serve many times in a food
line here in Seattle, and its really not just about the service that were providing. Its the humanity of connecting
over these peoples stories and understanding who they
are and how they are in the circumstances that they are
in. Those are the really meaningful moments.
Any advice on making time to volunteer? Put it on

your calendar and commit to itits easier to commit a
month ahead. The night before, youll think, Oh, my
gosh, how in the world am I going to do that tomorrow?
Until the minute I drive up to the place, I feel like Im
too busy for this. The minute you cross the threshold
into the actual work, you think, Why didnt I put this on
my calendar four times this month? When it tugs at
your heart and brings up your enthusiasm, it stays
alive for you, and you start to see where your talents
meet the worlds needs.
P
eter Singer on Living a Moral Life
Living the good life means something very different when youre talking with the worlds
most renowned moral philosopher, Peter Singer, a professor of bioethics at Princeton
University and the author of The Most Good You Can Do (Yale University Press).
SORRY
ABOUT THAT
As Elton John told us
(and Mary J. Blige later
reminded us), sorry
seems to be the hardest
word. We cant say it for
you, but we can help you
say it better. Its a core
skill thats rarely taught,
says Frederic Luskin,
the director of the Stanford
University Forgiveness
Projects, which studies the
psychological and health
benefits of forgiveness.
STEP 1:
The apology.
Keep it simple and
you wont lose your
nerve or kick off a new
fight. Say these three
sentences verbatim:
Im sorry. I messed up.
Is there any way I
can make it up to you?
STEP 2:
The follow-through.
Well, you asked. Now
youve got to do it.
Be prepared to cancel
your evening plans,
take someones whiny
four-year-old for an
afternoonwhatever
its going to take.
STEP 3:
Move on.
Be careful not to let
someone bring up
mistakes you made in
the past, says
Luskin. You have
every right to say, Its
over and done
withwe finished
that. Lets deal
with the present.
What is the secret to doing good? Its

doing something to help people living in
extreme poverty. Realize its our good luck
that we happen to be living in an affluent
country and having a comfortable life, and
other people just dont have the opportunity to live the way that we do.
Youve called for giving to the poor
over other causes, but what about the
argument that people should give to
causes theyre passionate about? Yes,
this is something youre passionate about,
but thats not the only thing to think about.
Think about how much difference youre
making in the world and say, I will still
give to the cause that I feel connected to,
but Im also going to do the most good.
Youve said doing the most good

doesnt include giving money to the
arts. What did you mean by that? Im
not convinced that giving to an already
wealthy opera house or concert hall or
museum makes a significant difference. I
could imagine supporting arts in disadvantaged communities and giving to people to
express themselves artistically.
What is the biggest ethical dilemma

that you face? I think long and hard
each year about how much Im giving. I

started off many years ago giving 10 percent of my income, and then as I got more
comfortable I went up to 20 to 25 percent.
Im generally around a third, but I realize I
could give more. So each year I think about
what I can do in that direction, and there
is always some conundrum because there
is always a trade-off. Some people will see
living an ethical life as involving sacrifice,
but they are thinking of sacrifice in narrow terms. I would rather take a broader
view and say that all the evidence shows
that people who are generous and give
to charity are actually happier with their
lives. They are more fulfilled. Surely thats
what is really important, not how many
zeros we have in our bank account.
Are we still allowed to buy nice things?

I know people who like to spend on luxuries, and if they are buying an expensive
pair of shoes or a bag, that is money that
could have gone to help someone who
needs to get food on the table for her family. So they tax themselvesthey note down
how much they spent this month and give
that same sum to effective charities. It
makes people feel better and enables them
to start giving.
LET YOURSELF OFF

THE HOOK
You did a bad thing. You should feel bad. OK, now move on. Remember
that nobody is perfect, and accept your humanity as a person who
makes mistakes, says Luskin, who has advice for the times when you...
...BLABBED LIKE TMZ.
If you have a big mouth, guess what? Thats not a secret, either. As long
as you can recognize when youve erred in a way that needs to be
addressed, remember that everyone who knows and loves you knows
youre flawedyoure the only one make-believing youre perfect.
...REALLY, REALLY MESSED UP.
Put a reasonable time limit on self-criticism. Mull it over for two
weeks and recognize that you screwed up. Then be proud that you dealt
with it, you didnt run from it, and now you dont need it anymore.
...KEEP BEATING YOURSELF UP.
Be careful with perfectionism, says Luskin. Think of a good quality
you possess to balance out each negative thoughtand remember that
its a true testament of character to take the opportunity to learn
from your mistakes and failures.
Everyone who knows and loves you

knows youre flawedyoure the only
one make-believing youre perfect.

CHECK,
PLEASE
If youre looking at this
manicure thinking youre more
likely to solve a Rubiks Cube
than to successfully paint
perfect squares, we get it
and so did manicurist Naomi
Yasuda, who did the sporty
gingham look at Opening
Ceremony. Instead of trying
to make tiny boxes with the
tip of a brush, she used tape.
1. Paint your nails with
the lighter of the two colors
youre using.
2. Cut five three-inch strips
of Scotch tape and paint
the nonsticky side with the
darker color.
3. Once dry, cut the polished
tape into tiny squares.
4. Create a checkerboard
design by placing three
or four squares on each nail.
(Use tweezers for precision.)
5. Trim the tape at the edges
of your nails with cuticle
nippers. Seal with topcoat.
Nail art on runways in years past was intimidatingly elaborate, even for those with
the steadiest of hands. Perhaps it was out of this frustration that graphic
nail art was born. This seasons nails feature lines, dots, and squaressimple
shapes you can actually do yourself. Nail artist Miss Pop tells it like it is:
If you like nail art but dont have 45,000 years to spend painting your nails, these
designs are for you. The experts tell us how to DIY. By Kristie Dash

FINE LINE
BAND WIDTH
Slightly off-center stripes feed our
love of all things midi (yes,
midcalf skirts and knuckle rings
are staples). At Tanya Taylor
(above), manicurist Madeline Poole
painted two linesone thicker
than the otheron bare nails with
a striping brush. At 3.1 Phillip
Lim, she laid strips of silver nail
tape over brown polish and trimmed
the edges with cuticle nippers.
TIP TOP
The French manicure is clawing its
way back to chicwith a few
crucial tweaks. The most important
one: The line across the top of
your nail should not attempt to look
natural in any way. In fact, the
color should be as unexpected as
possible. At Monique Lhuillier
(right), manicurist Gina Edwards
paired Kelly-green tips with a sheerpink base. She painted the design
freehand, but French-manicure
stencil stickers (at any drugstore)
are great for creating a crisp line.

Though its minimalist, one line makes a huge

impact, says Miss Pop of the vertical stripe
(painted with a striping brush) at Marissa Webb
(above). And by huge impact, she means
elongating the nail. Basically, youre wearing
Gianvito Rossi stilettos on your fingertips.
Paint Box
So many polishes! So many combinations! The pros help narrow the field.

Brown and silver is
earthy and futuristic,

GOOGLE IT
Put googly eyes on anything, and we
pretty much automatically love it.
But the manicure at Adam Selman
was more than cuteit was cool.
Poole used four-millimeter nailheads
dipped in navy polish to stamp
perfect circles on bare nails. Stick
the point into an eraser so youre not
holding something sharp, she says.

I like to stay with the same
colorand go bright or

Contrasting colors,
like purple and gray, look
cool and edgy, says
manicurist Jin Soon Choi.

Two fashion bloggers, opposite coasts,

racks of clothes, and a proposition: Shoot
yourself to suit yourself. Allure provided
an edited version of the spring collections
to Danielle Bernstein of WeWoreWhat
and Aimee Song of Song of Style, who
staged their own shoots in their home
cities. The result? Seven inspired looks,
from suits and sneakers in New York
City to feminine minis in Los Angeles.

Aimee Song
Songs laid-back style attracts
visitors to her blog, Song of Style
and 3 million people to
her Instagram. When she isnt
documenting her trips
to Croatia or the Alps, Song also
works as an interior designer.
What was your approach to this
shoot? I wanted to have that
L.A. vibe. Its a blend of different
cultures, people, and landscapes,
and I captured that in the contrast
of the casual and formalwear.
What happened behind the scenes?
It started pouring when
we were shooting the last look, so
I got soaking wet!
What are your favorite beauty
products? Im obsessed with Skin
Inc. And when I travel, I use Crme
de la Mer because its so hydrating.
I also just came back from
KoreaI really like Korean masks,
like the snail one. KRISTEN NICHOLS

Bernstein, the creator of WeWoreWhat,

has 1.3 million Instagram followers
who tune in to her street-style looks. The
New Yorker uses the city as a backdrop
to shoot her urban, pared-down looks.
What was your goal for this shoot? To
keep it me. So when I was wearing
a suit, I put it with sneakers to make it
casual. And I found West Village
backgrounds that make for a great story.
What happened behind the scenes?
Getting the shot with my dog,
Bleecker, was close to impossiblehe
kept getting distracted by cars.
What are your top beauty products?
They recently discontinued my
everyday M.A.C. lipstick, Touch the
Earth, so Im really miserable right now!

PRIVATE EYE
WHAT WAS
YOUR SWEETEST
FAN MOMENT?
I like to have a
conversation with someone
that is more than
Can I take a picture? Those
are the best.
JESSICA CHASTAIN
Celebrities receive regular adulation

and selfie requestsfrom admiring
strangers. But occasionally a fan will say
or do something especially meaningful.
At Tag Heuer and Max Mara events, the
premiere of Carol, and the New York
City Ballet Fall Gala, we asked the stars
to share their most heartwarming
moments. One of Tom Bradys admirers
is devoted indeed: A guy on the street
showed me a picture of his one-year-old
son, whos named Brady. Its very
flattering, especially since he lives in New
York. Rooney Maras favorite moment
came courtesy of a soldier. He sent me
an American flag and pictures and this
incredible note about how my work had
inspired him, she said. Gaby Hoffmanns
Transparent fans get emotional. I had
a baby the month the show premiered,
she said. So I was walking around
the streets in a fog of love, and then
strangers would throw their arms around
me. And Michael Kors was getting off
a plane when a woman ran over to tell him
shed lost weight and was wearing
a pair of his labels jeans. She took a
Sharpie out, he said, and she asked
me to sign her ass. JEFFREY SLONIM

Julia Roberts
I was serving lunch at
school, and a very sweet
girl said, Oh, I just
watched one of your
movies, and I loved it so
much13 Going on 30.
And I said, I love her,
too, but thats not me. If
youre going to mistake
me for Jennifer Garner,
Im all about that.
Amy Schumer
Every woman that I
walk past on the Upper
West Side, from 13
years old to 73, saying,
Keep going, Amy!
Olivia Wilde
What I love is New York City
policemen.When they break
through the barrier to say,
Hey, I really liked that movie
or that TV show, it always
makes me the happiest. So
they are my favorite fans.
Sarah Jessica Parker

Anytime anybody says
something that suggests that
they have made a connection.
Im never not grateful and
never not moved.All of it is
very lovely to hear, always.
Kate Upton
In New York, people
are like, Oh, Im a huge
fan. They dont want
anything from youthey
just want to tell you.
Cate Blanchett
Someone once wrote me a
letter and said that they
would like to carry me on
their shoulders for charity.
And I thought, What a
beautiful poetic image.
