25 BEST TIPS OF ALL TIME Set your liquid eyeliner with translucent powder; apply cream blush under a sheer foundation for a natural flush; tilt your eyelash curler for the most noticeable lift: After 25 years of testing products, conducting interviews, and improvising on the fly, Allure editors have amassed dozens of life-altering beauty tricks. Head to allure.com/best-tips-ever for our top 25. 25 BEST BEAUTY QUOTES OF ALL TIME “Weak eyebrows = weak presentation. It’s like having a bad handshake, but worse because it’s right on your face.” —Lena Dunham Have you ever heard wiser words? For more mantras you’ll want to pin (we’re talking analog-style, too) from badass ladies like Laverne Cox, Tina Fey, Naomi Wolf, and, of course, Audrey Hepburn, go to allure.com/best-beauty-quotes. Don’t see your favorite? Let…

25 Rihanna’s age when she released her limited-edition M.A.C. RiRi Woo lipstick. It sold out in three hours. 25: Victoria Beckham’s age when she married David Beckham. She saved her Vera Wang gown for her daughter. 25 Actress Carey Mulligan’s age when a Los Angeles dermatologist suggested she get Botox under her eyes. She later said: “Only in L.A. would someone try and give you Botox when you’re 25.” 25th: Birthday party of Taylor Swift’s at which Selena Gomez wore a custom manicure for the occasion: a best-friends heart bearing the initials S and T. 25 NUMBER OF POUNDS ANNE HATHAWAY LOST TO PLAY THE TUBERCULOSISRIDDEN FANTINE IN LES MISÉRABLES. 25: ADELE ALBUM THAT SOLD 3.38 MILLION COPIES IN ITS FIRST WEEK. $25 million Estimated annual marketing budget for chanel…

Taylor and Kendrick, scrambled eggs and Sriracha, messy ponytails and tiny braids: all things greater than the sum of their parts. At the Alice + Olivia spring 2016 show, hairstylist Marshall Lin wove models’ hair into side braids that spilled into beachy tails. “Once the hair is back, you can keep teasing and adding more braids,” says Lin. The effect just becomes cooler.…

POWER PLAYER Wonder Woman asserts her power with wrists clad in a pair of indestructible gauntlets, exceptional strength, and the Lasso of Truth. But Israeli actress Gal Gadot prefers to flaunt hers with a spritz of perfume (she’s the face of Gucci Bamboo). After serving a couple of years in the Israeli military, Gadot, 30, is now tackling the role of the Amazonian warrior princess in this month’s Batman v Superman. What is your earliest scent memory? “Sneaking into my mother’s bathroom and spraying myself with many different perfumes.” So you’ve always been a fragrance fan? “Yeah, I’ve always loved perfume. When I go to the duty-free shops, I go and smell all the new fragrances. It’s something I’m curious about; it’s something I enjoy.” What would Wonder Woman smell…

What it is: A full-coverage foundation that claims to cover anything you’ve got How it looks/feels: The foundation pumps out pretty thick, but it blends easily with just your fingers or a brush or sponge. Why we like it: While it’s not exactly magical, this foundation is remarkably versatile. Our dry-skinned tester reported no cracking, our oily-skinned tester didn’t have to touch up with powder, and our testers with redness and fine lines felt they were less noticeable, if not totally obliterated. You’ll probably recognize some of the ingredients. There’s hyaluronic acid to hydrate, antioxidants from vitamin C, and something called magical mushroom extract (eye roll) that works as an astringent. And while the formula isn’t quite weightless, the finish is shockingly natural. OK, so maybe it’s a little magical.…

Tip Learn how to read light. “If you’re a brunette, make sure your hair is off your face so it doesn’t cast a shadow. If you’re a blonde, try to be backlit. The light will wrap around your face and give you a beautiful glow.” Practice in front of a mirror. “You know why models look so great in pictures? It’s not just because they’re beautiful and photogenic—really. It’s because they practice. Every single person in the world feels selfconscious about posing, but the ones who do it well are the ones who know their best side, how to stand, where to place their feet, and how to hold their arms because they did it in front of the bathroom mirror a thousand times.” Know your smile. “Do you look…

1. MARCH 2001 Married to Billy Bob Thornton, promoting Original Sin, filming Tomb Raider, and considering her first adoption—Angelina Jolie appeared on our cover with wild, wavy hair, wearing a plunging black tank top. She was very much a bad girl on the brink of great things. 2. OCTOBER 2015 The down-to-earth Julia Roberts drove herself to the shoot with her three kids sitting in the backseat of the car and, upon flicking through the selection of cozy sweaters, declared, “This is the best clothing rack I’ve ever seen!” 3. FEBRUARY 2012 The Fox network described Zooey Deschanel’s character on New Girl as “adorkable,” but Deschanel insisted that girlishness and feminism can coexist: “Women should express who they are without thinking, I need to act like a man...to be successful.”…

It’s why Spanx has made a billion dollars, why politicians dye their hair, and why you’re reading this magazine. But how much does it matter? And exactly how much does the average person factor in looks when sizing up herself and the people around her, both positively and downright bitchily? To find out, Allure conducted a national survey of 2,500 people (2,497, if you want to be that way) with one goal in mind: dig up deeper truths, search for the uncomfortable thoughts that lurk in the shadows, and make our subconscious squirm and change the subject. You know what we found out? We could all stand a big, cold drink of Relax Already! In one startling—and revealing—finding, 64 percent of people said that the first thing they notice about…

Modeling’s holy grail is stamped with two little C’s. “I know Chanel is just a show, and all the girls I was with, they’d been doing it forever. It’s been my dream ever since I was young,” says Hadid, 18, who walked the runway in Chanel’s prefall 2016 show. Not bad...and not so surprising, either. Because Hadid and her supermodel older sister, Gigi— maybe you’ve heard of her?—inherited their green eyes and skyscraper legs the way some people get a propensity for hypertension. If you watch Bravo or have Internet access, you know that their mother is ’80s model and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Yolanda Foster. Now Hadid is poised to become fashion’s biggest breakout model. At shoots for the likes of Vogue, W, Elle, CR Fashion Book,…

Mor is getting used to certain questions. “I’m from Gujarat. It’s a state, and Ahmedabad is the city,” explains the 24-year-old model politely. “Should I spell it?” It’s been only a matter of months since Mor left her native India and moved to New York City, but she’s already had her share of, if not culture shock, let’s say culture surprise. “The food in India is very different,” says the vegetarian, who has had to learn how to cook. Plus, back in Gujarat, Mor practiced yoga regularly (“Here it’s very commercial”), and she wasn’t prepared for the lack of meditation in her adopted city. “Back in India, meditation is so normal,” says Mor, who still meditates for at least a half hour every day. “Here, people don’t seem to realize…

1Press your coffee—not your hair. “French women don’t use straightening irons,” says Paris hairstylist David Mallett. “Their ideal look is full and bouncy—never flat.” 2You can never own too much L’Oréal Paris Elnett Hairspray. “I have some at home, in my car, and at the office,” says model and L’Oréal Paris spokeswoman Inès de la Fressange. A quick blast at the roots adds volume. 3Ease up on the shampoo. “French women wash their hair three times a week, max,” says Paris colorist Christophe Robin. 4Consider a splash of white vinegar. “It adds shine and keeps color intact,” says colorist Sophie Georgiou of Sharon Dorram Color at Sally Hershberger in New York City. Dilute three drops in cold water and apply after you’ve conditioned. “It’s our best and oldest trick,” she…

Ask a celebrity about her favorite workout and she’ll probably refer you to her newly launched lifestyle website. But ask her what sport she played in high school and you might get a surprising answer. “Lacrosse,” Cate Blanchett told us proudly. “Volleyball,” said Amy Schumer. (Same for Dakota Johnson, though she lamented, “I was the person they never played.”) “Basketball,” said Chanel Iman. “I was good at shooting, but I can’t dunk.” “Tap,” said Kate Winslet, without missing a step. Meryl Streep would clearly have dominated anything she tried, but apparently, “they didn’t have sports for girls at my high school.” And Mariah Carey’s varsity pursuit? “Recess,” she quipped. “Volleyball and horseback riding.” —GIGI HADID…

STEVIE HUYNH Makeup artist, “In the Mix” What was your idea for the makeup in this story? “The clothes were quite colorful, and there was so much amazing street art. I wanted to focus on one thing in terms of beauty and tie in one color throughout.” Any tips for wearing bright lips? “Prime them with a bit of concealer and define with a liner pencil. I also love a semimatte finish with bold shades.” What inspired you to become a makeup artist? “Kevyn Aucoin’s book Making Faces was like a bible to me. And Peter Philips was a huge inspiration to me as well.” @steviehuynh DANIELLE PERGAMENT Contributing features editor, “Super Powers,” “Fresh JENNA ROSENSTEIN Beauty writer, “The Next Frontier” What was the most surprising thing you learned from…

1 Don’t rely on luminizer or primer—they can make skin look greasy. Instead I prep the skin really well. I scrub it and then work moisturizer into the face and even the ears and neck to get skin glow-y and dewy all over. 2 Use a really big sponge instead of a brush or fingers to apply foundation. I came across mine at the grocery store. You can mold it into the shape of the face to blend really well. 3 I like to show the texture of the skin so it looks real. If there are dark circles or blemishes, I’ll do a color corrector first, then I use a foundation and build it up. I try not to use concealer.…

A new wave of color correctors come in whisper-light and goofproof formulas, meaning you don’t need a painting BFA to use them. Here’s the deal: A swipe of lavender brightens skin, a bit of peachy orange disguises dark circles, a sheer layer of yellow neutralizes redness, and a dot of green masks blemishes. Lightly tap or draw one on (they come in a dizzying variety of formulas and applications) before your makeup for skin so perfect, it rivals even the most generous Snapchat filter.…

BE A WRAP STAR Hair wraps are back! (Although some may say they never went away.) Hairstylist Mark Townsend explains how to think big—and very chic. 1. Make three ponytails: one at the crown, one at the nape of your neck, and one in between. Use tiny elastics. 2. Space three or four elastics along the length of each pony to create evenly shaped tubes. 3. Starting at the base of the top pony, wrap a long, textured piece of fabric around the elastic and pin it into place. 4. Continue wrapping around the ponytails all the way down. When you reach the lower two ponytails, incorporate them into the one unified wrap. Tightly secure the end of the fabric to your hair with a pin. Say Yes Ouai This…

1. Erdem X: 10th Anniversary Portfolio. “To celebrate our tenyear anniversary, I chose one dress from each year. All proceeds from the portfolio go to the British Fashion Council Masters scholarship fund.” 2. Erdem dress. “This dress gives the feeling of prairie madness: that this woman was taking off her bustles and petticoats and coming undone.” 3. Erdem shoes. “I was inspired by a Victorian bootie. I wanted to redevelop the old in a new, modern way.” 4. Goodbye Picasso by David Douglas Duncan. “The colors, saturation, and images and Picasso lining up his canvases—it’s all so intimate.” 5. Carl Auböck brass egg paperweight. “It’s the most perfectly formed object, and it lives on my desk; I have a really cluttered desk and quite a lot of paper. It was…

MAKEUP Which mascara should I buy? “For me, it’s a three-way tie: L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Butterfly Intenza, Maybelline New York Falsies Push Up Drama, and Charlotte Tilbury Full Fat Lashes,” says digital beauty editor Sophia Panych. “Except for when I’m at ballet class—then it’s Eyeko Sport Waterproof Mascara. It lasts no matter how much you sweat.” How can I get Cara Delevingne brows? You’d have to ask Cara. But we can tell you how to get Marni Golden brows, which are just as good. “When you want to make your brows look fuller, go a shade lighter than you’d think with your brow pencil to avoid a drawn-in, fake look,” says Golden, who is Allure’s entertainment director. “Even though I’m a brunette, I use Laura Mercier’s blonde eyebrow pencil so…

A Game-Changing Wrinkle Filler Hyaluronic acid injectables (like Restylane and Juvéderm) have long been the dominant wrinkle fillers in dermatologists’ offices. They may soon be joined by a natural—and more long-lasting—option. Algeness is a gel containing a natural sugar (called agarose) derived from seaweed. In studies, it’s been shown to last longer than hyaluronic acid (up to 12 months). Other benefits: There’s no chance of an allergic reaction, and results are visible immediately. Algeness is already available in Europe and could be available in the U.S. by 2017. —JOAN KRON A Better Lash Glue What do mussels and oysters have to do with beauty? Turns out the mollusks’ natural adhesive—water- insoluble and nearly impossible to unstick—could lead to a revolutionary new lash and nail glue. A team of chemists and…

Fairy tales don’t come true, they say, but Loyce’s story comes pretty close. “When I was younger, I never would have thought something like this would happen to me,” says Loyce, 24, who grew up on the island of Martinique—where she played model in her first pair of heels at 13— and studies biology at a university in France. “It’s completely different from this world,” she says. “I was walking after school in Chantilly, and I was scouted, just after school! It’s incredible.” She was cast in her first fashion show, Céline’s fall 2015 show, so quickly, she says, “I had exams at the same time.” She was more nervous for the show than her tests until the moment she stepped on the runway. “I felt like, Ah, it’s OK—it’s…

BLUE EYES, FIVE WAYS Yes, you can wear these colors IRL. For the look on the far left, Kaliardos just used his finger and a cream shadow. We’re not going to lie: You might not want to try that at home. There are a few other (foolproof) ways you can play with saturated blue makeup, though. Take your pick: 1. Brush blue mascara over the tips of your lashes. Apply your favorite black formula first, or wear the blue alone for a more intense color payoff. 2. Trace a waterproof indigo pencil along your waterline; pair it with a deep navy drawn along your upper lashes. 3. Update your smoky eyes: Edge your lash line in black liner, then blend an iridescent blue cream shadow all over your lid. 4.…

1. La Roche-Posay Hydraphase Intense. “I don’t use aggressive antiaging treatments,” says perfumer Camille Goutal. “This moisturizer softens with hyaluronic acid.” 2. Guerlain Terracotta Bronzer. “Every French woman has it in her handbag,” says makeup artist Maud Laceppe. The tawny powder quietly warms skin but never overwhelms it. 3. Rodin Olio Lusso Face Oil. “A few drops makes skin soft and glow-y,” says Laceppe. 4. Bioderma Créaline H20 Solution Micellaire. It dissolves makeup and doesn’t require rinsing. 5. Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse. “We use this oil on our hair, in our bath, on our body, and under makeup,” says Goutal. 6. Clarins Double Serum. “I use this daily,” says Claire Courtin-Clarins. “Combined with cream, it provides the perfect amount of hydration.” 7. Collosol Milk. “It’s a cleanser for baby bottoms, but…

1 Beachy Gold shadow on the inner corners plus curled lashes makes your eyes look big and bright. Skip mascara— no one wears that to the beach. Adding bronzer is a sexy no-brainer. Warm up the look by sweeping one over the cheeks, the bridge of the nose, and around the hairline. Get beachy waves with a two-inch curling iron. Hold it vertically and wrap random sections around the barrel, leaving out the ends. 2 Romantic Two golds are better than one. Use a delicate white-gold on the lids and a deeper golden bronze in the creases for soft definition. + For luminous skin, tap a champagnecolored highlighter on the cheekbones, down the nose, and along the Cupid’s bow. + Bright-gold hair accessories play off the sheen on your…

Days before writing this, I woke up to the terrible news that David Bowie had passed away. Beyond being a music legend, Bowie was a beauty icon in his own right, an example of the transformational power of makeup and a taboo-breaking master of reinvention. I have his song “Changes” playing as I type this—and it seems like a particularly poignant theme for my first editor’s letter at Allure. So much of beauty is about change. In my own life, I’ve always welcomed it with open arms. Over the years, my hair has been nearly every length possible, and surprisingly, I’ve liked most of the styles (except for a supremely unfortunate pixie cut in the early ’90s that I won’t be revisiting anytime soon). As I get older, I’m still…

For Kampouris, 18, filming My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 wasn’t just work—it was personal. “Greek blood courses through me,” she says. There were some priceless beauty moments in the first movie. “Greeks are notorious for their potions. I wouldn’t say I’ve used Windex, but there are so many tricks that have been handed down to me.” Do tell! “Sometimes I’ll do a honey-and-olive-oil hair mask. Or I’ll do Medusa braids and release them for mermaid waves.” What was the most memorable moment while filming? “I came up with a rap, ‘Greek on Fleek’: I say, ‘Holla.’ You say, ‘Opa!’ ”…

In a battle of Who’s the Biggest Beauty Junkie?, Gwen Stefani would win. “I am passionate about makeup, and I wear it every day,” says the singer. Stefani’s own collection of b-a-n-a-n-a-s products is out this month in partnership with Urban Decay. “There’s not one color that isn’t true to who I am,” says Stefani. It turns out the makeup she needs is also what we need. There are four variations on red lipstick, among others. The blush palette includes golden bronzers and candy-pink shades. And though the brow palette comes in only light and dark blonde, the color is buildable. “This is the tip of the iceberg,” says Stefani. Fingers crossed for a black liquid eyeliner in the future.…

BRAID The new braided ponytails work on all hair textures and, even better, require very little dexterity. 1Get a grip. To avoid a sad, skinny tail, mist texturizing spray over the length of dry hair. Try L’Oréal Paris Txt It Tousle Waves Spray. 2 Create a little separation. Rake a sculpting paste (we like Sally Hershberger 24K Superiority Complex Texturizing Paste) through your roots as you scrape your hair back. 3 Start with a tight, low ponytail. “Braiding loose hair feels too romantic and soft,” says hairstylist Anthony Turner. If your hair usually slips right out of a braid, securing it at the top as well as the bottom will keep it in place. 4 Lock it in. Smooth defining cream, like Redken Braid Aid 03, through the ponytail; it’ll…

Bombers on the spring runways were anything but tough. Flowers bloomed on Gucci’s green silk jackets, whimsical pins studded Marc Jacobs’s, and colorful embroidery dominated Tommy Hilfiger’s navy bomber. “It felt super-retro but with a modern flair,” says Cara Santana, the 31-year-old star of Salem. Instead of wearing Tommy Hilfiger’s version as just a jacket, she made it the star of her looks, styling it up with a bright body-con dress and down with cashmere sweats. Silk jacket, $790, at Tommy Hilfiger, N.Y.C. (212-233-1824). FAVORITE THINGS JEWELRY: “Loree Rodkin.” BAG: “Alexander Wang and 3.1 Phillip Lim.” JEANS: “Current/Elliott. They really know how to cut for a woman’s legs and curves.” LINGERIE: “Agent Provocateur is sexy and fun.” MASCARA: “Givenchy.” SKIN CARE: “Kate Somerville.” FOUNDATION: “Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer.” FRAGRANCE: “Thierry…

Make a Connection A first date is possibly the most stressful drink-ordering scenario of them all. “You don’t want anything too strong or too boring,” says Meehan. “Go for a lesserknown classic, like a sidecar—cognac, lemon juice, Cointreau. It has universal appeal and no gender connotations. Anyone can order it.” Out with the boss: “They say you should never drive a nicer car than your boss—and the same principle applies here. Have what your boss is having. Or something close: If she orders a gin martini, order a gin and tonic. This applies to in-laws, too.” Impressing a client: “Order something nice to share—you’re a team player here. A bottle of champagne is great.” At a nightclub: “I require a lot of alcohol to dance, so I’d do a straight…

A braid requires a few hidden bobby pins underneath for support and a mix of dry shampoo and texturizing spray for hefty texture. To smooth and straighten bangs, brush them side to side as you dry—never use a round brush. Two words for insta cool: Red lipstick. FOR undone waves IN STRAIGHT HAIR, CURL WITH A ONE-AND-A-QUARTERINCH CURLING ROD—AND FLATIRON THE ENDS TO LOOSEN THINGS UP. To bulk up your brows, choose a brow pencil that’s lighter than you’d think—go too dark and the whole thing looks fake. Don't be put off by its odd color: Green primer hides redness to create an even base. TO BALANCE COMBINATION SKIN, USE clay masks and basic moisturizer. Add a line of silver or gold striping tape to each nail for the easiest,…

You can play word association with any other model of Naomi Campbell’s caliber and it’s basically a two-word game: Kate Moss? Waifish. Stylish. Christy Turlington? Yoga. Motherhood. But with Campbell, two words barely scratch the surface of her decades-long public persona. Beautiful? Iconic? Of course. Then there’s: Feisty. Outspoken. Maybe... hot-blooded? And wasn’t there something about a mobile phone? Say what you will about the 45-year-old supermodel, but you can’t argue this: Naomi Campbell has kept her adoring— and fascinated—public talking since she stepped out on her first runway, which was almost 30 years ago. After all, there was a 1 percent back in the 1990s; it’s just that we called it Versace. And if you flash back to that ostentatious, electrified world, swinging her hips through the middle of…

“IT JUST MATTERS HOW YOU TREAT PEOPLE.” I believe in Christ as my savior and God” isn’t the kind of thing you’d typically hear from a model, but Smith isn’t exactly typical. Raised in Utah, she grew up a devout Mormon. She doesn’t drink alcohol or coffee. She doesn’t smoke. And “at a recent shoot, they asked me to do a nude shot—I turned that down,” she says. “But I don’t think I’m missing out.” “Missing out” is maybe the only thing Smith is not doing. She has sailed down runways for Giorgio Armani and Moschino. She has been in ad campaigns for Gap and Calvin Klein Jeans. And she’s in a band. “My sisters, brother, and I got instruments for Christmas ten years ago,” she says. “I play bass.”…
