Flashback to the '90s. "Can't Cry Anymore" was dominating the airwaves. I might or might not have been wearing overalls. (By the way, they're cool again—see page 34.) My boyfriend at the time had a crush on Sheryl Crow. And, I'm embarrassed to admit now, I was a little jealous…of the effortless brand of cool mixed with talent and smarts, not to mention great hair (do you remember those curls?!), that made her so irresistible. Flash forward—my old flame is a distant memory as I head to Sheryl Crow's ranch just outside Nashville. Her address is keyed in on my iPhone's Google map, and GH's entertainment director is behind the wheel, navigating the scenic country roads. As we finally approach the gates to Sheryl's beautiful wooded ranch, I see a…

SUPERLIGHT FORMULATIONS give you a healthy glow that won't melt away on sultry days. "They let your skin show through, even if you opt for rich colors," says makeup artist Andrew Sotomayor. Get the Glow Think of it as the "new transparency": a pretty, natural look based on five sheer, easy-to-wear makeup picks that deliver just the right amount of color and coverage. Your go-tos now: a BB cream, a shimmery shadow, a cheek stain, a tinted balm and a waterproof mascara that stands up to heat and humidity (we know—we tested it!).
