DON’T GET BURNED You diligently put on sunscreen before you went outside, and you even used the right amount. But maybe you missed a spot or got too caught up in a game of bocce to reapply, and you’re now on the receiving end of a painful, tomato-red sunburn. To find out how to properly treat your fried skin, speed up the healing process, and keep it from happening again, head to allure.com/sunburn-fixes. WIN THIS ’90S CULT CLASSIC ON SNAPCHAT! To celebrate the twentieth anniversary of one of the greatest movies of all time (Clueless, duh!), we teamed up with Hard Candy to give away 50 bottles of the baby-blue nail polish that Alicia Silverstone made into a major ’90s obsession. Just follow us on Snapchat (@AllureMag) and check our…

Yoon-Soo Cindy Bae The clinical assistant professor of dermatology at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York City has written several chapters of books on laser surgery and scar revision. Bae talks about freezing body fat in “The Ice Age.” What does CoolSculpting feel like? “We place a cold gel pack on the area before we put on the device, which gently sucks in the tissue and gets cold, like a Popsicle. When we place the gel pack, the patient is like, ‘Oh, this is cold,’ but they get used to it.” What can’t it do? “Some patients think it will solve all of their weight problems or that they won’t have to exercise. But this is for treating pockets of fat that are resistant.” What dermatology trend surprises you?…

Essie nail polish This flat, skinny brush makes sharp lines, and its cylindrical stem allows easy maneuverability (great for crescent-moon manis). L’Oréal Paris Extraordinaire Gel-Lacque This brush is big enough to cover the whole nail, and its angled tip is perfect for square or squoval nails. Butter London Nail Lacquer Short, stiff bristles allow you to swipe on polish quickly but are also a bit hard to control. Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure This oversize rounded brush paints the entire nail in one stroke. If you have small nails, though, it can be messy. OPI Nail Lacquer Manicurists rave about this wide, square brush. It’s precise, but the soft bristles fan out for fast, even coverage Chanel Nail Colour These flexible bristles allow light, consistent strokes for even color. If…

“I have long hair, so I like to make it really soft, shiny, and touchable. A dollop of this cream makes it easy to blow-dry my hair straight, adds a lot of shine, and makes me feel sexy.” —ELIZABETH SIEGEL, BEAUTY FEATURES EDITOR “I wear this only on dates with my boyfriend. He can smell it across the room when I spray it, and his eyes start to bug out.” —JENNA ROSENSTEIN, BEAUTY WRITER “Nights out with my husband involve a lot of food (and wine). This pencil leaves a stain that lasts through a tasting menu. Honey is the perfect neutral.” —JENNY BAILLY, BEAUTY DIRECTOR “My boyfriend doesn’t like real perfume, but this light floral scent that I spray in my hair is a great alternative.” —IRMA ELEZOVIC, BEAUTY…

An interview with London-based swimwear designer Anna Laub, the founder of prism. The right bikini hugs your curves without gaps or wrinkles and accentuates the good bits without drawing attention to the not-so-good. Shop the top. Triangle tops look best on a small bust; if yours is bigger, try something with straps and underwire. It’s counterintuitive, but padding is great for large breasts because it provides support. Halter tops work for everyone, as long as there’s enough coverage—check from all angles. Aim high. The higher the leg is cut, the longer your legs will look. And highwaisted bottoms can hide a stomach pooch. Tie string-bikini bottoms before putting them on. The closer the front and back panels are, the better the fit. Stick to solids. They’re more flattering than prints,…

Beware of shopping on an empty stomach, even if you’re not buying food. People who shopped at a department store when they were hungry spent more money and bought more nonfood items than those who weren’t hungry, a study has found. In another experiment, the researchers offered participants samples of office supplies; the hungrier people were, the more supplies they took. Hunger triggers a motivation to acquire, presumably as a survival mechanism, but this intention can then affect decisions unrelated to food, according to Alison Jing Xu, an assistant professor of marketing at the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management in Minneapolis, and her colleagues. Dieting or skipping breakfast may lead to extra spending, they point out.…

IMPECCABLE HAIR SERVICES FROM NEW YORK CITY TO LOS ANGELES NEW YORK CITY The Drawing Room New York Mirko Vergani 148 Spring St., 212-226-2600 The place: At the top of a steep flight of stairs, this allwhite salon looks like a futuristic spaceship, with rows of orb-shaped mirrors and modernist red chairs at the shampoo sinks. The experience: Our ombré hair was brassy and grown out, so Vergani patiently applied a permanent allover color to make it look human again. We had to rake out the Toddlers & Tiaras curls his assistant gave us after the blowout, but the color was exactly what we wanted: a vibrant chestnut that faded to a paler shade near the ends. $95 plus $25 for blowout. For the most authentic experience, Directory reporters do…

When you think of pigtails, it’s hard not to picture sweet little girls. Think of ribbons and you might as well throw in a pinafore. Add a few bows and we are in Little House on the Prairie. But there’s a difference between classic childhood styles and the looks we saw on the runways: The latter are cool, knowing, and sexy. “Just don’t wear these styles the way you did when you were five,” says hairstylist Sam McKnight. So, got an image of your five-year-old self in your head? Great. Now go and do it all differently. RIBBONS & BOWS If you’re not careful…terrific. Mess up (and sex up) the style and you won’t look like a birthday present. For starters, “avoid the obvious places,” says McKnight. To a non-hairstylist,…

You know a television character is indelible when her name can be used as a verb. “Taraji owns the character,” says Rita McGhee, Empire’s costume designer. And together, she and McGhee “Cookie-fy everything she wears.” That takes sequins—lots of sequins. It’s a look inspired by crime bosses, female bosses, and occasionally Diana Ross, and some of the clothes are on loan from hip-hop moguls, including Monique Mosley (the business partner and wife of Timbaland, Empire’s executive music producer). “She lent us one of my favorite dresses, a one-of-a-kind zebra-print dress by Balmain,” says McGhee. Henson’s nails get Cookie-fied, too. “They’re long and stiletto-shaped, and they’re her own natural nails,” says Calandra Lamb Rhodes, the manicurist behind the looks. “Taraji likes dark colors, like plums and blacks. I usually use OPI…

CARTER SMITH To transform Taraji P. Henson into a disco star for “Hear Her Roar,” Smith photographed the actress in a New York City nightclub, Gilded Lily. “They had just come through with some sort of industrial cleaner, so if you stood in one place too long, you would stick to the floor,” he says. And even though Henson portrays a diva in the photos, in person, she was anything but. “What was so great about Taraji was that she was game for anything,” says Smith. Unlike “someone who wants to micromanage everything from nail color to lash length, she was totally willing to try new looks.” CEDRIC BUCHET The inspiration for Buchet’s poolside shoot for “Summer Shade” was “a combination of childhood memories and the movies I grew up…

Here’s why you care: For $15 a month, you’ll get five samples delivered to your door by the USPS guy. And we’re talking the good stuff—we’ve included Too Faced, Restorsea, L’Oréal Paris, Laura Mercier, Zoya, Alterna (all shown above), and others so far—and not in puny little sizes, either.

I was waiting to board a flight when a woman in line behind me pressed something into my hand. “Use this on the plane,” she whispered. “When you land, you’ll look completely fresh.” She wasn’t a drug trafficker. She was Sylvie Chantecaille, the founder of Chantecaille Beauté and an old friend. In the shiny foil packet was an eye mask, two perfect crescents soaked in a serum that contained bits of gold, no less. A half hour before landing, I stuck them under my worn-out eyes, downed a cup of coffee, and—poof!—no more jet lag. I love a mask. Ever since I sneaked into my mother’s bathroom and grabbed one off her shelf, I’ve been a fan. That first one, Helena Rubinstein Brush-On Peel-Off Mask, seemed designed expressly to tempt…

Giambattista Valli has a thing for flowers. “They’re a fetish of mine,” says the designer, who whips up party dresses in dreamy floral prints. (Amal Clooney’s poppy-strewn look was his creation—though he can’t take credit for those stems.) So it’s fitting that Valli’s first makeup collection should manifest as a bouquet of lipsticks. “My dresses were the starting point,” says Valli, who included fuchsia, rose, and cherry-blossom pink. A packaging detail adds practicality: Each bullet has a matching outer tube so it can be spotted in a bag. “I love when a woman jumps out of the shower, puts on lipstick, and walks out with wet hair,” he says. Bloom, done.…

1. Ocean-blue nails Find a deep-turquoise nail polish that looks like the water in the Blue Grotto (or your vacation spot of choice). 2. An inspiring coffee-table book “Montauk is a slice of paradise,” says photographer Ben Watts, whose Montauk Dreaming is a sun-drenched book of surfers and pool parties in the laid-back Long Island beach town. “I wanted to capture a happy place.” 3. Humidity-proof hair We’re packing Nunzio Saviano Anti-Frizz Sheets in our weekend bag—the coconut oil in each wipe tames windy wildness. (Just keep them away from fine roots.) Or pull all your hair into a ponytail with a neoprene Emi-Jay hair tie. 4. Ankle bracelets Ankle bracelets are the accessory of the summer— and we’re not talking about some rinky-dink chain. Think leather straps, neon-bright colors,…

Women are turning to Botox to extend their blowouts. “Some women who get Botox in their forehead have reported that they don’t sweat as much around their hairline, and their blowouts last longer,” says New York City dermatologist Francesca Fusco. “They’re now asking to get a little injected in the scalp.” But Fusco has yet to oblige. “If too much Botox is injected around the hairline to address sweating, you can get heavy eyelids,” she says. We’re sticking with dry shampoo for now.…

Designers this season have tricked out the humble T-shirt with surprising patterns, fanciful embellishments, and a bit of sparkle. At Prada, for instance, a band of silk brocade at the neck is enhanced with crystals. Fendi takes a lighthearted turn with a pair of furry eyeballs that seem to peer out from a front pocket. These tees are as cheerful as lightning bugs on a sultry summer evening. And a lot easier to catch.…

Packing a beach bag can be tricky: You’ll be exposed to the elements, you’ll need to entertain yourself for hours, and you might even go out for the evening without heading home to change. Choose a roomy bag. I love a canvas one that gets better with age or one of those nylon bags with Frida Kahlo’s face on them that you see in Mexico. Towels are overrated. When I travel to places like Brazil and Morocco, I keep my eye out for bright, thin cotton fabric. I’ll buy a swath and have the edges hemmed. I wear them as sarongs, I lie on them on the sand, and I even use them to dry off. They air-dry quickly, and they’re totally unique. Keep the packaging. A lot of bathing…

Altering your sleep patterns might reduce anxiety, according to researchers Jacob Nota and Meredith Coles at Binghamton University in New York. Of 100 people polled, those who went to bed later and slept for shorter periods had the most severe symptoms of worry and negative thinking. Although anxiety can contribute to sleep problems, it’s also possible that inadequate sleep or divergence from natural light and dark cycles makes it harder to inhibit troubling thoughts, Nota and Coles say. They cite other research showing that among people taking antidepressants, cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia can help reduce depression. If your mind races with worry at bedtime, get out of bed to avoid associating it with anxiety and do other activities until you feel ready to sleep, Nota suggests. As you start…

1914: Mary Pickford, a silent-film star, is named America’s Sweetheart by impresario David Grauman. (Never mind that she was born in Canada.) 1935: Shirley Temple, a star during the Depression, inherits the mantle of America’s Sweetheart and wins an Academy Award at age six. 1948: After her film debut, Doris Day becomes a darling of Hollywood and soon a so-called America’s Sweetheart. 1959: Pop artist Robert Indiana paints The American Sweetheart, which features the names of actresses Fay Wray, Mae West, Ida Lupino, and Elizabeth Taylor. 1970s: Gymnast turned actress Cathy Rigby, who competed in the Olympics in 1968 and 1972, is one of the first female athletes elevated to America’s Sweetheart. 1996: Meg Ryan beats out Sandra Bullock and gold-medal gymnast Mary Lou Retton to win the title of…

Henson, unlike Cookie Lyon, is a natural-hair and minimal-makeup girl. Then again, she does have a “glam room” in her house. “It’s where I go and play. If I hadn’t gone into acting, I probably would have been a cosmetologist,” she says. What’s on your face right now? “My moisturizer, by Paul Scerri. These [she bats her eyelashes] are extensions. That helps with not feeling like you have to do anything to your face.” What’s your biggest skin issue? “I break out. My problem is not picking. I try to pick the right way.” What’s your favorite makeup? “My makeup artist has this amazing highlight/contour stick: Perfect Blend [by Ashunta Sheriff]. Sometimes I just cover my dark circles, contour my cheekbones, throw on bronzer, and I’m out the door.” What’s…

Raindrop prints, ripples of icy-blue silk—Carolina Herrera’s fall collection was inspired by water, and so were the hair and makeup. The slick ponytails and wet-looking lashes were intended for fall, but we’re adopting them early. “It’s how girls look when they come out of water,” says makeup artist Diane Kendal. Or how we wish we did. Lashes + Lips Makeup artist Diane Kendal dotted false lashes with glittery silicone beads that looked like raindrops. Lips were a deep berry (M.A.C. Retro Matte Lipcolour in Oh, Lady). Nails Essie nail polish in Forever Yummy matched the red in the clothes exactly. “We held the hands up to the fabrics,” says manicurist Michelle Saunders Hair To make the hair look wet, hairstylist Orlando Pita used shine spray, then combed hair into a…

WHAT IT IS: A salty floral scent NOTES: Bergamot, pink ginger, magnolia, quince, amber, and beeswax WHY WE LIKE IT: Ocean scents are like seawater—they have a briny appeal that invigorates one minute and drifts away the next. But this fragrance has depth as well as brightness. Ripe citrus notes plus creamy magnolia and honey make for a sensual but splashy scent that’s perfect for summer. And we love how the round flacon feels like a cool piece of sculpture in the palm of the hand. “I LOVE WHEN A WOMAN JUMPS OUT OF THE SHOWER, PUTS ON LIPSTICK, AND WALKS OUT WITH WET HAIR.”…

GIGI HADID For model Hadid and her on-again, off-again musician boyfriend, Cody Simpson, date night starts with a familiar scenario. “He’ll be like, ‘Babe, you have to get ready.’ Then I’ll be done in ten minutes, and he’s still getting ready.” Hair: “I like to do beachy, wavy hair. I brush it and run a bit of John Frieda serum through it to make it less dry.” Makeup: “I use bronzer, mascara, and my go-to matte nude lipstick, which is Maybelline [Hadid is a spokeswoman for the brand].” Outfit: “I’m so casual. It’s usually jeans, a T-shirt, and boots—then I’ll throw on a cool jacket to make it look like I tried.” Date-Night Spot: “I love sushi and especially Nobu in New York City.” Romance: “Cody writes me really cute…

There’s nothing more riveting than a clean-cut handbag wearing a disorderly print. So when Roger Vivier’s sleek new day bag appeared in our sights, we were sucked right into its black hole of splatters and spots. Inspired by Jackson Pollock’s drip paintings, the bag triumphs on many levels: as abstract art, as a structured purse, and with that petit-four-pink center, as the season’s loftiest arm candy.…

Every great summer party starts with a list. Throwing something together chaotically ends up being more work than taking 15 minutes to make a plan first. Don’t fall down the Pinterest hole. The best thing about summer entertaining is it doesn’t have to be fancy—and you can eat outdoors. You can use a tablecloth or just a piece of fabric you love. You can’t go wrong with white candles; put them in jars or hurricane vases. Master the grill. The grill is the summer equivalent of a fireplace; everyone gravitates to it. Kebabs are great because you can assemble them ahead of time. If you grill corn, brush the ears with green goddess dressing—a blend of fresh herbs, garlic, lemon juice, and mayonnaise—right after they come off the grill. It’s…

To encourage cooperation, scent the air with lavender, suggest psychologists at the Leiden Institute for Brain and Cognition in the Netherlands. Volunteers played a game in which they could keep a sum of money or give triple that amount to another person, who would then divvy it up. When lavender scented the air, as opposed to peppermint or nothing, the players handed over more money, apparently feeling assured that they would receive their fair share in return. By promoting a sense of trust, lavender could help people come to an agreement or build a communal spirit, the study authors say.…
