My job definitely doesn’t suck.” Truer words have never been spoken. In this case, by Zoey Deutch. The star of the comedy Why Him? has been paid to kiss James Franco and Zac Efron, attends parties dressed in only Chanel, and uses her celebrity to champion causes like Planned Parenthood. An actress of a previous generation might simply say that she is “blessed,” but Deutch has the refreshing honesty of a 22-year-old who grew up in Hollywood (her mom is actress Lea Thompson from Back to the Future, and her dad, Howard Deutch, directed Pretty in Pink)—and on social media. Lucky for us, she is just as candid about her beauty routine, including the person whose style she shamelessly copies and the unexpected way she keeps her gorgeous honey-colored hair…

1 Wearing highlighter on bare skin is like stepping out in a tank top when it’s snowing— you need layers, people. Swirl a coral-pink cream blush on the apples and along your cheekbones. 2 Grab two highlighters: a champagne powder and a peachy-gold cream. Dust the powder over your cheekbones and up around the temples. Then tap the cream on top to intensify the shine. 3 While a face full of bronzer can look ridiculous in subzero temperatures, a few strategic sweeps helps give definition to your glow. Make a fish face and blend bronzer into the hollows of your cheeks.…

Red lipstick on top, pink on bottom. Sounds like one of those things makeup artists do at fashion shows that inspires a lot of talk, little action. But do you see the magic that’s happening here? When makeup artist Sammy Mourabit created fiery cherryon-magenta lips at Cushnie et Ochs’s spring show, the lighter shade on the lower lip reflected more light, sneakily making the bottom lip look poutier than the top. The effect is sexy, polished, and—if you’re doing it right—elegant all at once.…

Like nail-polish remover and charity scams, shampoo has always seemed to take away more than it gives back. Sure, its main job is to cleanse . But along with dirt and oil, it can also strip away the natural fats that make hair shampoocommercial shiny. Pantene’s decided to change that—and is reformulating the majority of its shampoos. The brand spent about 15 years !iguring out how to infuse shampoo with tiny lipids that slip under the cuticle as you rinse to replace fats lost to suds (the new formulas still contain detergent). “The lipid-based ingredient is the standout here—I’ve never seen it in hair care before,” says cosmetic chemist Ron Robinson. “Chemically, it should offer the best of both worlds: cleansing well while keeping hair’s moisture.” And we can attest…

There are more ways to manipulate fat than ever before. The way we acquire it, the way we store it, and the effort it takes to lose it are encoded in our genes. The way we think about it, however, is beyond science—and sometimes beyond reason. The dynamic forces of culture, media, personality, and upbringing within each of us make the issue completely subjective. Fat defies generalization. But it is nonetheless familiar, intimate. After all, it is literally a part of us. Sometimes fat is a sympathetic old friend, sometimes a mocking bully, sometimes a ghost (George W. Bush, according to one family member, has said there is a fat person inside him trying to get out, a sentiment that anyone who has lost weight can recognize). There were times…

1 Bare lips aren’t holding onto anything, so you’ll want to build a base for the glitter to cling to. Brush on a matte nude lipstick, then top it with clear lip gloss. 2 Select your glitter. It can be any color (we like rose gold), but the smaller the pieces, the easier it is to spread evenly. Use your lip brush to dab the flecks onto your lips. 3 Clean up any glitter that may have fallen outside your lip line with a piece of tape. Now sip your cocktail through a straw and enjoy the night. Sparkle Removal Glitter is tricky to apply, but once it’s on, it won’t budge. Like, at all. Eventually, though, you’ll need to go to bed. Here’s how to clean up every last…

It’s the color of rubber cones and prison jumpsuits. Orange has never been the standardbearer of chic. But then: the spring runways. Orange became the color of cropped eyelet tops, crushed-velvet skirts, and so many manicures. The best of them were nails the color of freshly peeled carrots at Tibi (left). The effect is traf!ic-stopping in the best possible way. —JESSICA CHIA PRODUCT REVIEW Olay Luminous Miracle Boost Concentrate It’s a... Lightweight concentrate (a hybrid of a watery, splash-on essence and a serum) meant to be layered under your regular moisturizer day and night. It promises to… Fade spots and even tone in two weeks.

1 DRESS, 4 WAYS Veronika Heilbrunner appreciates a swath of lace as much as the next person, “but the German in me is practical and needs to be comfortable so I can run around,” says the cofounder of the lifestyle website Hey Woman. By the way, she means that literally. No matter how fancy the dress, Heilbrunner wears it almost exclusively with what she calls “cool street elements”—or what we call sneakers. “White is an amazing color, especially on gray, wintry Berlin days. It makes everything look fresher and gives the right dose of chic to sporty items.” “Layering a bustier over it and denim underneath transforms the dress into something really funky.” “I love the contrast of a shiny, sporty little raincoat with the lace.” FAVORITE THINGS JEWELRY: “I…

 Not all clichés are so bad. Take the one about Tuscany: the endlessly rolling vistas painted the color of flax, the ancient stone villages perched on top of every hill, and the dreamy, hazy sunlight that makes the landscape look like it’s always golden hour. It’s a cliché that makes you want to let your long, wavy hair fly loose, slip into a sexy chiffon Dolce & Gabbana number, and change your name to Sofiia. Or maybe that’s just me. To go to Tuscany is to be inspired by it. It’s how the world ended up with 478 million calendars of the same dirt road climbing up the same beautiful hillside lined with the same sharp cypress trees. It’s also how Tuscany came to be a spa destination over 2,000…

I just spent the last hour rewatching Steve Jobs’s groundbreaking, highly entertaining January 2007 keynote introducing the first iPhone. In hindsight, the device’s debut—ten years ago this month—was spectacular in its simplicity. Today, a gesture like scrolling feels so, well, elementary. But a decade ago, Jobs’s big-screen demonstration of the upward flick prompted a collective “ooohh” from the crowd. A billion (yes...whoa) iPhones later, I’m struck by how much our world has evolved since the day Jobs promised that this “revolutionary” device was going to change everything. And then it did. Anyone remember what we did before apps? Or how we ever waited in line at the DMV without catching up on our Instagram? With the new year upon us, it feels like a particularly fitting time to immerse myself…

CLIP ART At some point, the barrette got a reputation it couldn’t shake— for being either totally sweet or totally boring or totally both. But for Adam Selman’s spring show, jewelry designer Chris Habana transformed the misunderstood hair accessory. First, Habana blew them up in size. Next, he made them neon metallic —the hottest pinks and most Day-Glo oranges. And then hairstylist James Pecis stepped in. He twisted models’ hair into knots anchored at the hairline and attached the vivid accessories so close to the forehead, they almost looked wrong. And that’s exactly what made them look oh so right. PIN POINTS Imagine the ’80s: Women are crimping their hair and jamming to Cyndi Lauper. Ashley Williams’s spring show brought us right back there. (Lauper actually provided inspiration for the…

1 Sweep a vibrant purple shadow from the lash line to the brow bone. Then, with a wet brush, use it as an eyeliner on the outer edge of the upper and lower lashes. 2 On the back of your hand, combine that same purple shadow with clear lip gloss and purple glitter. Blend it all together with a dense shadow brush and smooth it over your lid. 3 Brushed-up brows, curled lashes, and a sweep of mascara pull the look together. If you want to intensify the shine, add an extra dab of gloss to the center of your lid.…

Hyaluronic acid is a little complicated. First, it’s not actually an acid. It’s a sugar. Also, it’s a sponge. Every molecule can hold 1,000 times its weight in water. But one thing about hyaluronic acid has always been 100 percent straightforward: It’s a skin-care star. In serums and creams, it smooths and plumps (temporarily); as an injectable, it erases wrinkles (for months). Let’s be honest, though: We’ve taken hyaluronic acid for granted for a while. Sure, it’s great stuff, always welcome at the party. But when’s the last time you were like, “Guys, hyaluronic acid is here!” That’s about to change. A fresh crop of innovations has us taking a new look at the old standby. Chemists and dermatologists are using hyaluronic acid in unprecedented ways to make skin dewier,…
