The best part: We turned them into easy-to-follow GIF tutorials so you can nail ’em before…

High and MIGHTY The key to this gravity-defying cut: long layers on top and loads of texturizing products. “The dirtier and messier my hair is, the better,” says advertising executive Brittenelle Fredericks (above). For a natural volume boost, she parts her damp hair to one side, lets it dry, then flips it back over. After running a flatiron over her wavy ends, she massages a pea-size dab of Unite Creamy Paste through her hair for a piecey finish, then sprinkles Schwarzkopf Professional Osis+ Dust It texturizing powder on her roots for more lift. Finally, Fredericks sprays Evo Shebang-a-Bang Dry Spray Wax on her hands and rakes them through the front and back sections for a little extra definition and hold. Shorn FREE This haircut is pretty high maintenance. No, really.…

DON’T OVERLOAD YOUR BRUSH. Swipe black gel liner onto the back of your hand so you can get a thin coat of gel on a fine-pointed liner brush. TAKE YOUR TIME. “Go from the inner to outer corner of your eye, and start by working the gel right into the roots of your lashes,” Ashton says. Gradually build up the thickness on the outer three quarters, but don’t draw the wing just yet. THINK IN LAYERS. Paint over the gel with a waterproof liquid liner. “It’s key to achieving intensity and opaqueness,” he says. Now create the wing, flicking the liquid liner out toward your temple. LIFT UP. Use a cotton swab to sweep the end of the wing upward at a 45-degree angle for a more feline flick, says…

Sad winter complexion, why are you still here? You’re making our cheeks look blah and our whole face very meh. So we’re busting out the big (sheer) guns. BareMinerals, Benefit, and Nars have all come out with liquefied versions of their bronzers. Pour a few drops on the back of your hand and, with a damp makeup sponge or your fingers, dab it around the perimeter of your face and on your cheekbones. Technically, these liquid bronzers need to be blended...but barely. The moisturizing formulas feel like a second—no, first—skin. And a happy one at that.…

THE GIVING TREE You could fill dozens of produce aisles with the herbs, fruits, and vegetables in face creams, but these are the botanicals that can really give you younger-looking skin. Smoothing lines and wrinkles is one of the hardest claims to make good on, “but there’s solid data showing artichoke extract builds collagen,” says cosmetic chemist Ni’Kita Wilson. Find it in SK-II Essential Power Essence. Dewy, luminous skin has never been found at the bottom of a prickly-pear margarita. But in skin care, “prickly-pear extract has been shown to help skin cells retain moisture so they don’t dry out,” says Wilson. Try Jurlique Calendula Redness Rescue serum or Caudalie Premier Cru The Elixir. Firmer skin may come from a duo you’re not likely to eat together: blackberries and dill.…

“ These Proenza Schouler heels are funky. They make a statement even though the look is casual.” “ A jumpsuit isn’t necessarily professional, but the right pieces tie it together.” “ It’s a more masculine look, but I like pairing it with heels.” “ This blazer gives me extra curves, which I’m always looking for.” Favorite Things JEANS: “Acne.” bag: “Céline.” JEWELRY: “Faris. I love the large disc hoops.” SHOES: “Dries Van Noten.” LINGERIE: “Kiki de Montparnasse.” HAIRSTYLIST: “Helena Moké. She comes to my house.” FRAGRANCE: “Chloé.” MASCARA: “Benefit They’re Real.” NAIL POLISH: “I get gels, and I usually go for a white or reddish-orange color.” SKIN CARE: “Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay mask. I do it once a week.”…

MARY H. K. CHOI The writer flew to London to interview FKA Twigs for “Portrait of an Artist.” I’d most want FKA Twigs’s: “Guileless intellectual curiosity.” My dream job: “Whatever will take me to space. I’ll probably wind up running a prison cafeteria on a spaceship.” I can’t get through the day without: “An antisocial amount of tea and Snapchat.” ANETA PAJAK The model was photographed under the California sun for “The New Frontier.” Best beauty tip I learned on set: “Hydrated skin is beautiful.” My favorite moisturizer: “Weleda Skin Food.” My hometown: “A small village in Poland called Wandzinów.” My secret hobby: “I grew up in a family of mechanics, so my passion is cars.” ALASDAIR McLELLAN The photographer shot FKA Twigs in London for “Portrait of an Artist.”…

8 LARA STONE’S RANKING on Forbes’s 2015 list of the highest-paid models; she’s famous for her gaptoothed smile. 96 PERCENTAGE OF ADULTS who think a smile is the key to attracting members of the opposite sex, according to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. 20 NUMBER OF times per day the average adult smiles. 3 NUMBER OF INDICATORS of an authentic smile, known as Duchenne markers: raising your cheeks, squinting your eyes, and turning up the corners of your mouth. 1993 YEAR PSYCHOLOGIST Paul Ekman discovered that just mimicking these markers may actually make you feel happier. 45 PERCENTAGE OF THE data analyzed in a 2015 study by app developer SwiftKey that contained happy-face emojis.…

1In Sir John’s world, lengthening mascara is just a primer. Wiggle a black one into the roots of your top lashes “like a toothbrush, then pull it through,” he says. 2 “I concentrate my lash game on the outer edges for a mesmeric cat-eye effect,” says Sir John. That means brushing a volumizing mascara on just the outer lashes. Quickly, while the mascara is still wet, push your lashes up with a finger to curl them. 3 Balance the look with a brown lengthening mascara on your bottom lashes. Hold the wand vertically so you can run it over your lashes to lightly coat them. “It’ll look like black from afar, but it’s more flattering up close,” says Sir John.…

BEAUTY 101 allure 1 Fuchsia. Like Adidas paired with a sundress, purply-pink nails are cool and girlie at the same time. Try Chanel Camélia and Christian Louboutin Bengali. 2Turquoise. Nails the color of the Caribbean are bright and beachy, which is enough to sell us. “It gives you a summery glow, even if you haven’t stepped foot on the sand,” says Kandalec. Try Butter London Minted (shown) and Yves Saint Laurent Peace Green. 3Lemon. A bright-yellow manicure is as crisp and clean as the fruit it’s inspired by—if it’s done right. Choose a vivid hue, like Sally Hansen Gigabryte (shown), for medium to dark skin tones or a softer pastel, like Smith & Cult The Bee Side, for fair skin. 4 Cobalt. Brilliant blue is almost a neutral— it works…

The clumpy lashes on the fall runways aren’t for everyone—or every occasion. Audience with HRH? Not the right day. But when you want a look that’s punky, lose your lash comb. To get spidery lashes, sweep on a thickening mascara and then, holding the wand vertically, go in again, working the tip of the wand through your lashes. Or just use the new Maybelline New York Spider Effect mascara. Makeup artists piled it on liberally at Jason Wu and Wes Gordon to achieve superclumps. But if you want more than four lashes, just do one coat—you’ll get volume that’s not too perfect.…

The Prosecution Salt forms a film on the outside of your hair that sucks moisture from each strand. This can leave hair crispy, especially if it’s curly or bleached. That’s why hairstylist Jen Atkin used rice protein instead in her Ouai Wave Spray. Sugar and mineral sprays also create the same feel without dryness. Try Sally Hershberger 24K Beach Glam Mineral Wave Spray. The Defense Salt-based formulas create the perfect ropy texture, but they’re not all the same. “If you’re worried about dryness, look for sprays that counteract it with ingredients like coconut oil,” says hairstylist Kristin Ess, who often uses salt spray on clients with soft, slippery textures. Try Bumble and Bumble Surf Infusion, a mix of softening oils and sea salt.…

There is something for every collector—not to mention every 13-year-old girl—in this happy explosion of hearts, stars, rosettes, birds, safety pins, scissors, chains, anchors, and more. One part folk art, one part flea market, and one part high-school romance, the whimsical combination is a smile magnet.…

Don’t be surprised to see a male model on the runway at a Public School fashion show. Designers Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne got their start in menswear and channel that streetwise swagger—with a heavy dose of femininity—in their clothes for women. The New Yorkers, who were recently named the creative directors of DKNY and whose company name comes from their early schooling, point to the most important mandate in their designs: “It’s about authenticity.” 1. Public School cable-knit dress. “This is something that we normally don’t do because it’s a little closer to the body, but for spring we were exploring a lighter touch.” Details, see Shopping Guide. 2. Public School jacket and skirt. “In this collection, we played with lighter fabrics and draping and the way things flow.”…

1Layer up. The laziest way to work sunscreen into your routine: Make sure it’s incorporated into all of the products you’re already using (moisturizer, primer, etc.). Look for an SPF value of at least 30, and apply it as liberally as you would a straight-up sunscreen—anything less is pretty much pointless. We like Giorgio Armani Maestro UV (a weightless SPF 50 makeup primer), Dr. Dennis Gross Instant Radiance Sun Defense (a souped-up tinted moisturizer with SPF 40), and RoC Multi Correxion 5 in 1 Chest, Neck & Face Cream (a hydrating formula with SPF 30). 2If your skin is acting like a baby, use baby sunscreen. Dermatologists recommend that those with sensitive skin use sunscreens with physical (not chemical) blockers, like zinc oxide. That’s where baby sunscreens come in. We…

FKA Twigs’s first Allure cover shoot, photographed by Alasdair McLellan, took place at Spring Studios in London. 1 Despite the 8:30 a.m. call time, Twigs arrived early and energized, having already swung by the gym before arriving at the studio. 2 After flipping through racks of ballet-inspired Givenchy bodysuits and Calvin Klein slip dresses, Twigs hopped into the makeup chair and chatted with hairstylist Duffy—a fellow Brit—about local youth culture. 3 The singer blasted Siouxsie and the Banshees and lip-synched “I’m Real” by Jennifer Lopez between shots. But as soon as she stepped in front of the camera, the soundtrack was switched back to classical music. 4 Twigs was in no rush to leave after the last photo was taken. She hung out with the crew and chatted about her…

Chloé Perrin’s childhood was pure fashion fantasy. Her mother, Sally, was an American model (you’ve probably seen her Calvin Klein and Nordstrom ads from the ’90s), and her father, Michel, was the CEO of the family’s leather-goods business, Perrin Paris. Although she was born in Seattle, Perrin moved to Paris when she was four—and she never really left. In 2014, she became the company’s creative director (the fifth generation of her family to join the brand), and one of her early mandates was to “modernize and sharpen our designs.” Perrin Paris now has a full-fledged handbag line, but Perrin still puts a premium on tradition. “I always have gloves in my purse,” she says. “They stop me from texting while I’m walking— they’ve probably saved my life a couple of…

Any good rock star knows the sexiest hair is so messy, it looks like it hasn’t been touched in days. “I don’t brush my hair. I let it do its own thing and go wild,” says Charli XCX (above). To coax along “that rock and roll feel,” she uses Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray (on damp hair) and Catwalk by Tigi Root Boost Spray (on dry roots) to bump up the volume. “It’s sexy,” says the singer, who’s got beauty game— she helped create 20 eyeliners in wild colors (like yellow and blue) with Make Up For Ever. SHINE BRIGHT LIKE A POP STAR One secret weapon for glowing from head to toe: Melanie Mills Hollywood Gleam Body Radiance. “It’s a bronzer that makes my skin look flawless,” says Christina…

Smoky eyes are usually sexy, messy, and served up in shades of black. So we weren’t exactly sure what to call this gold glitter smudged around model Suki Waterhouse’s eyes. (“Glmoky”? “Smlitter”?) Whatever it is, we’re copying it. Paired with rumpled bed head, it’s both sultry and irreverent—kind of like Waterhouse herself.…

We’re going to assume that when Tom Bachik was racing BMX bikes and Jet Skis in southern California, he wasn’t daydreaming about sparkly topcoats. “I figured I’d be a pro soccer player,” says the 45-year-old. “Then my wife found out she was pregnant. I was 23 and riding skateboards—I had to think about the next step.” Bachik’s hairstylist cousin suggested he get a manicurist’s license; the following Monday, he was enrolled in beauty school. Bachik was a natural. After winning a competition for sculptured acrylic nails, he worked with Creative Nail Design and Chanel before landing in his current role as global nail designer for L’Oréal Paris. Despite his success, Bachik never expected that he’d become one of Hollywood’s most sought-after manicurists. Plus, “you’re never cool in your kids’ eyes,”…

Chemists have spent a ton of time crafting self-tanner formulas that create natural color, fast. They now come in lotions, oils, and sprays. And some, like the new St. Tropez Gradual Tan Classic Everyday Mousse, have eliminated that telltale this-tan-ain’t-real smell. We examined the science inside every bottle. Dihydroxyacetone (DHA): The MVP in all self-tanners, this sugar reacts with proteins on your skin’s surface in what chefs call the Maillard reaction—it’s what makes food turn brown under heat. But DHA is a bit of a diva. “It’s tough to stabilize,” says cosmetic chemist Randy Schueller. “And it can give you funky colors.” The odor is an unfortunate by-product of the reaction. Erythrulose: DHA gets most of the credit, but it’s often mixed with erythrulose, another sugar, to get a longer-lasting,…

MOLTEN METALLICS The golds are burned. The coppers are burnished. And the bronzes smolder. Evening makeup just got hotter. 1. Sex up a smoky eye with a hit of bronze on the center of the lid. 2. Remember when black polish was edgy? Make yours stand out with gold stripes. They don’t have to be perfect—it’s cooler if they’re not. 3. Sally Hansen Miracle Gel in Game of Chromes flatters all skin tones. 4. Opaque gold shadow can go in a lot of directions. We like it smudged along the lash line or over lids, but our favorite way to wear it is flicked up into a cat eye. 5. Champagne nails work with all of your summer whites and—if you own them—metallic clutches. 6. Buff gold and bronze shadow…

As interviews go, FKA Twigs is a fairly scary one. She gets this a lot, so when you confess it to her, she cocks her head and regards you as if you’re failing a test. The English indie recording artist, who also happens to be a director, a choreographer, a dancer, and the face of a Calvin Klein campaign, may not yet be a household name, exactly (depending on your house). But she’s at the exact locus of celebrity where the fashion and music worlds are besotted, Kanye West calls her out by name as someone who has to attend his album release and fashion show (“Please invite Farrakhan and Twigs”), and she’s done all of this without thirstiness or pandering to the mainstream. She’s leery of press, of the…

1. Oribe hair spray. “The smell is amazing, and it gives heat protection.” 2. Juice Press Water + Aloe. “I see a difference in my skin when I’m hydrated.” 3. Burt’s Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream*. “It makes my nails look healthy when I don’t have time for a manicure.” 4. Diptyque Ambre Candle. “I like a different candle in every room; this is for next to my bed.” 5. Burt’s Bees #BringBackTheBees balm in Pink Grapefruit*. “It brings awareness to an important cause, and the scent is natural and fresh.” 6. Nars Blush in Orgasm. “I’ve used it since high school.” 7. iS Clinical Cleansing Complex. “I do anything my facialist, Shani Darden, tells me to do.” 8. Dior Diorshow mascara. “I’m not a big makeup person, but I…
