1. JILLIAN DEMPSEY LID TINT IN PEACH. A finger sweep of this sheer cream color instantly enlivens tiredlooking eyes. It’s my new clean-beauty staple. $28. 2. SIGMA E38 DIFFUSED CREASE BRUSH. I have way too many makeup brushes, but this one is in regular rotation for softly applying and seamlessly blending shadows. $17. 3. ARDELL LASHES 110. A drugstore superstar, these strips are priced well and look like the real thing. $4.99. 4. SKINCEUTICALS A.G.E. EYE COMPLEX.

Instagram, TikTok, Zoom. By some estimates, we spend 50 percent of our lives staring at screens (and if my daily habits are any indication, that number has risen in recent months). While we are texting, our phones are sending a message back to us. Though you may not see it, “blue light is present all around. It’s emitted from our screens, like our computers and cell phones,” says Tiffany J. Libby, a dermatologist in South Kingstown, Rhode Island. We’ve always had exposure to blue light from the sun, “but now one could argue we are substantially increasing our exposure indoors,” says Libby. And this may not be great news for our skin: Long-term blue-light exposure can generate free radicals and trigger hyperpigmentation, according to some research. And it may lead…

1. Danessa Myricks Beauty Colorfix Matte Liquid Pigment in Freedom. Makeup artist Danessa Myricks created her line in 2006 to offer products pigmented enough to show up on dark skin. Her vivid, multiuse paint is one of our favorites. “It’s opaque and doesn’t budge,” says beauty editor Devon Abelman, who uses it to draw stars around her eyes. 2. Lauren Napier Beauty La Rose by Lauren Napier. In search of a better way to remove foundation, this makeup artist launched her own (very chic) cleansing cloths, infused with rose water. “They make my skin so soft and don’t leave behind any residue,” says features director Jessica Cruel. 3. Pat McGrath Labs MatteTrance Lipstick in Elson. This matte red lipstick is the brainchild of legendary makeup artist Pat McGrath, and it’s…

It’s not all in your mind. Migraines may be invisible, but they are very real: According to estimates by the Migraine Research Foundation, one billion people worldwide experience them. And of the roughly 39 million Americans who are sufferers, 28 million are women—a quarter of whom experience four or more severe attacks per month. Studies indicate that this might best be explained by the fluctuation of hormone levels during the menstrual cycle and throughout one’s lifetime. Migraines can be incapacitating, but these three women have found ways to turn their pain into strength. “It can be really hard to be your own advocate.” I’ve had migraines since I was a young teenager. The pain is a dull thrum, as if someone is practicing the cello, but they’ve never had a…

IN AN INSTANT… Put frazzled hair under a microscope and you’ll see the cuticle is cracked and broken, says cosmetic chemist Erica Douglas. For a quick, albeit temporary fix, rake in a hair oil; it will coat strands to make the cuticle lay flat, so hair looks healthier. (Try Garnier Whole Blends Smoothing Oil.) IN ONE MONTH… “Your hair is like string cheese,” says Dhiran Mistry, a hairstylist at David Mallett Salon in New York City. Popular in lunch boxes? No. When it frays, it peels from the bottom up. Keep damage from spreading by using leave-in conditioners with behentrimonium methosulfate or cetrimonium chloride after each shower, says Douglas. These positively charged ingredients stick to hair’s negatively charged surface to seal the cuticle, stopping split ends in their tracks. By…

PHYSICAL EDUCATION By Joel Gelfand, a professor of dermatology and epidemiology at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine and director of the school’s Psoriasis and Phototherapy Treatment Center. I worked on a survey that found 30-40 percent of people in the United States think psoriasis is contagious—they don’t want to shake the hand of someone with psoriasis. Think about that. If one in every three people that you run into on the street is going to have that view of your skin, that’s a really challenging thing to cope with. Psoriasis can be socially isolating and cause people to feel anxious and depressed. Psoriasis is not contagious. It’s a common autoimmune disease of the skin, in which your body recognizes a normal skin protein as abnormal and tries…

“Los Angeles air is rough on my skin. The Drunk Elephant B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Serum [1] gives me that hydrated glow. When I’m really dry, I’ll layer it with Herbivore Orchid Facial Oil [2] and Squish Smoosh Moisturizer [5]. The combo is lightweight and nongreasy, even though I’m applying a lot of product.” “My hair soaks up Moroccanoil Smoothing Mask [7] like a sponge. I use it once a week to keep my thick curls shiny and hydrated.” “My job requires heavy makeup. My own full face includes a cat eye using the Haus Laboratories Liquid Eye-lie-ner [8]. It’s dark and easy to apply and take off. Nars Powermatte in Just Push Play [4] is my go-to red lipstick. But it’s too messy under a mask, so I’ve been using…

To Mom, I remember watching Days of Our Lives together on my “sick day” afternoons. We’d cuddle in the den on the fuzzy sectional as you patiently let me brush and pin curl your short, feathery, fine hair. When you began to gray early, I remember you taking matters into your own plastic-glove-covered hands, converting into a Clairol Nice ‘n Easy subtle, dusty blonde. What seemed like an easygoing attitude may have been the control gene that I inherited from you—your belief that you could manage it all—the trajectory of your life from teacher, to raising my brother and me, to fulltime law school student at age 50. And yes, to managing your hair too. But there were things that were out of your control, like your breast cancer diagnosis. After your…

MVP PRODUCT? “Tarte clay foundation.”—IN UNISON “You cannot sweat that stuff off.”—HARRIS YOU PLAY IN MAKEUP? “We’re going to be on television; we better be looking cute!”—HARRIS “I’ll wear foundation, and L’Oréal Paris Double Extend Mascara with the primer and topcoat.”—KRIEGER GO-TO SUNSCREEN? “We both use EltaMD from our dermatologist and Alastin tinted moisturizer cream.”—KRIEGER “We need at least SPF 30.”—HARRIS WHAT ABOUT HAIR? “When I play, I wear my hair in a high bun with two or three hair bands to keep it tight. I spray the whole thing with Bumble and Bumble Bb Strong Finish Hairspray to keep my flyaways out of my face. Ash wears her hair half up and half down.”—KRIEGER “I like Bumble and Bumble Sumoclay because it’s matte, it keeps my wispies back, and…

“I don’t walk into shoots with anything in mind,” admits makeup artist Tami El Sombati, when asked about her creative process. “I’m inspired by the model in front of me.” And with the flawless canvas of SouKeyna Diouf (the gorgeous woman you see here) before her, El Sombati poked around her personalized MAC Paintstick palette until she had mixed dueling shades of sapphire and emerald. She then blended the vibrant pigments along the points where one might normally apply highlighter—the top of the cheekbones, the inner and outer corners of the eyes—and diffused the two shades into galactic fields of color. But the glow photographed here actually originated earlier. Before applying anything else, El Sombati massaged a dab of moisturizer into Diouf’s cheeks, perhaps as a secret message: The outside…

Necessity is the mother of invention: “[As a kid], I learned about the secret of ice. When you don’t have much money and you’re going from tiny little town to tiny little town, you discover ice has benefits for your skin. [Arjona toured with her father, Guatemalan singer-songwriter Ricardo Arjona.] And now I ice my face before a day of filming. I glide it on in a lifting motion. You feel firm after.” Bright ideas: “In Mexico, people use a lot of aloe vera to soothe skin and help with dark spots. In Guatemala, they put lemon all over their face at night, and then scrub it out in the morning. That also helps with dark spots. Those are little things I’ve learned that are inexpensive, and they’ve been handed…

ONE Crystal Clear Remember when jewelry was confined to areas like the wrists, fingers, and earlobes? Why did it take us so long to see the eyes for what they really are, occipital palettes for gems and sparkle? Makeup artist Pat McGrath’s cat eyes twinkled with black crystals at Valentino [4], and Ffrench’s prismatic eye makeup involved a hammer (she chiseled crystal stones into slivers) at Halpern [1]. And these sparkles can travel—to hairpieces at Area [2], headbands at Gucci, and anywhere else that inspires you. 2 Think Pink It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s…the pink ladies! With the help of some color blocking, makeup artist Miranda Joyce gave hotpink shadow all the moxie of a superhero’s mask at Matty Bovan [1]. At Emilio Pucci [3], hairstylist Jawara’s cool…
