1 “I was on a boat to go snorkeling. As I dove in, one of the hooks you use to tie up the boat latched onto my bikini bottom. It literally split my bathing suit in half. Everyone saw my butt.” —DIANNA H., 26, BLOGGER, MIAMI, FL 2 CELEB CONFESSION “At a friend’s birthday, I saw a girl I’d met a few years back at this same friend’s house. At that time, she was pregnant. When I saw her again this time, she appeared to be pregnant once again, so I said, ‘Congratulations! When are you due?’ She wasn’t pregnant. I spent 30 minutes trying to dig myself out of that one.” —CANDICE PATTON, THE FLASH 3 “I e-mailed my RA, ‘My dorm room toilet’s been clogged for so long,…

HOW MANY HOURS have you spent waiting for people to Like your Instas or watch your Snaps? For Essena O’Neill, an 18-yearold Instagram model with more than a half million followers, it was too many. Last fall, she made headlines for deleting thousands of photos, quitting the social platform, and sharing her struggle with being “addicted to social media, social approval, [and] social status.” She made an appeal for a platform where views and Likes aren’t visible. “Never again will I let a number define me. It suffocated me,” she said. Others could totally relate. In March, Time magazine named her among the 30 most inf luential people on the internet, alongside the likes of Kim and Kanye, for having in fact removed her social presence (she’s since returned to…

THE GOAL IS to love every inch of yourself, but let’s be real, some parts we love more than others. Some days, I’m really feeling my booty, so I’ll wear tight jeans with a low heel. Other days, my hourglass shape is demanding to be seen, so I’ll rock a tight, clingy dress. FOR SWIMWEAR, I usually go for twopieces with as little material as possible. I love just feeling free when I’m on the beach. Every now and again, I’ll rock a sexy one-piece with a really low back. A GOOD BAG goes a long way. It dresses up any outfit, even yoga clothes. I also love to wear a lot of rings. They add character to any look. THE MISTAKE I see most often among curvy women is…

CONTOURING, STROBING, BAKING: THESE INSIDER SECRETS ARE ACTUALLY OLDSCHOOL BEAUTY TRICKS. IF YOUR CURRENT beauty goals include chiseled cheeks or brows on f leek, surprise: Instagram has hijacked your look. Beauty’s new social language (from contouring to strobing) has familiarized even casual scrollers with some really sophisticated beauty techniques. It’s even inf luenced the products that end up in your makeup bag. Sales of prestige cosmetics, contouring creams, and powders—once the stuff of stage performers and supermodels— more than tripled in the first eight months of 2015 (the latest data available), exceeding $29 million, according to The NPD Group. (Two million Insta photos are currently hashtagged #Contour.) In addition, brow products are up by 29 percent, and lip liner by 13 percent— surprising for a product that’s been on life…

For Girls Who Are… SMALL-CHESTED AND LOVE LOW-IMPACT Since you likely don’t need much support, you can focus on comfort—we love seamless designs to prevent chafing. Removable pads add shape. BIG-BUSTED AND LOVE HIGH-IMPACT Your ideal sports bra has thick straps that cross in the back, a wide chest band, and a second skin–like fit to support the girls. BIG-BUSTED AND LOVE LOW-IMPACT For a secure fit, look for multiple closures (this style has them in the front too). Still, a little fashion over function—like a low cut—is fine. SMALL-CHESTED AND LOVE HIGH-IMPACT A and B cups bounce too! While running or jumping, pick a full-coverage option with a snug fit. Details like mesh vents keep things cool. ASK THE TRAINER JUST STARTING A WORKOUT HAS ME WIPED. HOW LONG…

ALL ABOUT SUNSCREEN Q If I use SPF 15 primer and moisturizer with SPF 30, is that like wearing SPF 45? Unfortunately, the math doesn’t add up in your favor. At best, you’ll get the highest of the numbers you apply; at worst, you’ll dilute the products and get something in between, says dermatologist Rachel Nazarian, MD, an assistant clinical professor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in NYC. Think of it like milk, she says: “If you have a cup of 2 percent milk, then add more 2 percent, it doesn’t become 4 percent.” Q Is it safe to use spray sunscreen? Sprays are convenient, especially for toughto-reach areas. The issue is inhalation. Some ingredients may be lung irritants that could cause flare-ups of conditions like…

Q / MY GUY IS GREAT IN BED BUT AN AWFUL KISSER. I ALWAYS WANT TO SKIP IT AND JUST GO STRAIGHT TO SEX, BUT HE’S STARTING TO NOTICE. HOW DO I TELL HIM? A Deliver the message like a good kiss: confident and sure, not too tentative or sloppy. Tease him a little (“You know what would really turn me on?”) before you really lock in and tell him what you want: “I’d like it more if you kiss me exactly like… this.” Don’t go negative. Take your time, and teach him by example that there’s something better than klutzy tonsil hockey. Do that enough times, and he should get the message that a kiss isn’t just a kiss, it’s a connection. Q / I’VE STARTED SEEING AN ADORABLE…

I can’t even commit to a Spotify playlist.” —JON S., 24 “It’s a great party with family and friends…plus the hors d’oeuvres are usually awesome!” —BILLY H., 23 “Each wedding I go to gives me some secret ideas for my own.” —ZACH Z., 20 “For me, it’s a jail sentence.” —BRIAN A., 23 “They’re expensive.

Shay Mitchell was dominating social media before King Kylie even got her first iPhone. Now with a multimillion-strong following across Snapchat, Facebook, and Twitter, the Pretty Little Liar isn’t just a star, she’s a multiplatform, 360-degree experience. Meet the woman behind the screen(s). “ always say‘ask for forgіveness after,’ Shay Mitchell says, climbing a ridge that drops sharply into L.A.’s Griffith Park. She’d love to be skydiving right now. But the producers of her hit Freeform series, Pretty Little Liars, aren’t a hundred percent chill with her hurling herself out of planes. Shay’s Emily Fields is as crucial to PLL as Kim is to Keeping Up With the Kardashians—not that that’s stopped Shay from taking the occasional plunge. “I like to do things that scare the hell out of me,”…

1.You react to Starbucks PDA by: a. Sloshing the couple with your Americano and curb stomping your cake pop. b. Changing your current song to “I Knew You Were Trouble” for single-girl badassery. c.

@KaytiiMontana Really great read on love + accepting ur instincts + being w/ who accepts you for you in @Cosmopolitan from one of my fave authors @Augusten. COSMO CONVO I’d like to take a step back from this whole pro-life vs pro-choice argument to review the article “How to Have a Safe Abortion,” in the April issue. I found it very informative and well-written for such a heavy topic. The article is as unbiased as it can possibly be. You’re really giving people a true look into the process without any judgments. —MEGAN MANN, 21, CHICO, CA, VIA FACEBOOK I am writing to express my sincere disappointment in “How to Have a Safe Abortion.” I am pro-life and know thousands of other Cosmo readers are as well. Pro-lifers aren’t all…

“He confessed that he is afraid of vampires and believes they’re real—to the point of refusing to say vampire out loud because then he might summon one.” —SUSAN A., 39 “An hour into our first date, he leaned over and honked my boob. Later, he texted, ‘I had a great time tonight! When can I see you again?’” —CHELSEA S., 27 “For our first date, he surprised me by taking me to his high school reunion. Not sexy, dude.” —ADRIANNA S., 24 “He showed up 30 minutes late for our coffee date, then he told me he actually doesn’t like coffee. He wanted to leave and instead go together to Barnes & Noble to buy his LSAT books. That’s not my idea of a fun date!” —ASH R., 22 “I…

cut A diamond’s cut grade is determined by how well its facets interact with light to create visual effects in both the diamond’s interior and its exterior (aka sparkle!). Of all the 4 Cs, cut is the most important factor in how the stone appears to the naked eye. If the cut is too shallow, light will leak out the bottom; too deep, and light will escape from the side. An ideal cut diamond directs light to the bottom of the stone and back up through its top (or what gemologists call the table). It will cost you more but is arguably what makes diamonds so special. clarity Nearly all diamonds have some imperfections. But often, these f laws—called inclusions and blemishes— are microscopic. Diamonds with the fewest and smallest…

SPF365 COSMO AND OLAY PRESENT SPF365: A REMINDER TO WEAR SUN PROTECTION EVERY. S INGLE . DAY! SKIPPING A DAY CAN MEAN WRINKLES How many times have you left the house SPF-free because you were just running an errand or heading straight to a car or office? Consider this: Repeat exposure can have consequences that are as bad as an unprotected day at the beach. Just 15 minutes can contribute to the formation of lines and spots in a matter of months, explains Diane S. Berson, MD, a member of the MDSolar-Sciences Scientific Advisory Council. Applying SPF should be as routine as brushing your teeth (store it by your toothpaste if you must!). One with antioxidants or peptides (like Olay’s, at right) can minimize years of bad habits. 30 IS…

My preferred sexual positions can skew toward the ambitiously acrobatic. Should you care to look inside my bedside drawer, you’d find more accessories than an HSN host’s forearm—handcuffs, black rubber tape, and electrically charged fingertip vibes, to name a few. The only aspect of sex that I’m unfussy about is gender—my own and my partners’. I actually chronicle my crazy experiences in my new book, Action: A Book About Sex. So here’s a fact you might not expect from me: Some of the hottest encounters I’ve ever had were regular-degular, conventional-as-air vanilla sex. Yes, here I am championing the most basic way of going at it. But toys are great, you say! Or, what about that insecure voice in the back of my head that says the way I fuck…

STEP 1 Make Skin Matte Opt for oil-free everything— lotion, sunscreen, concealer, foundation— and set with translucent powder. Sketching on dewy or sweaty skin is a one-way ticket to Smudgeville. STEP 2 Practice Makes Perfect Test your design (such as the heart or moon on the models, here) on paper or your hand first. Ready for your face? A stable arm is key. Suzy Gerstein, a New York City–based makeup artist, recommends propping your elbow on a flat surface and keeping it as close to your body as possible to reduce shaking. STEP 3 Pick the Right Pen A fine-tip liquid-liner pen (try Kat Von D’s, below) is clutch for drawing thin lines, while one with a rounded tip (like Maybelline’s liner, above) is best for dotting. “Start small, and…

YOU HAVE Arm-ne WHY IT HAPPENS “Tiny red or white rough bumps on your arms are likely a condition called keratosis pilaris—not true acne,” says Heidi Waldorf, MD, director of laser and cosmetic dermatology at The Mount Sinai Hospital. This genetic condition causes the buildup of keratin, a protein that plugs hair follicles. TREAT IT! Apply a thin coat of moisturizer rich in alpha hydroxy acid (like AmLactin Moisturizing Lotion, $16, drugstores, below) once daily. This will gently unplug the follicles while keeping the rest of the area hydrated and smooth. PREVENT IT! Since keratosis pilaris is genetic, it’s not really preventable, explains Mona Gohara, MD, a dermatologist who consults for Dove. But dry skin is more prone to it (so stock up on body cream). YOU HAVE Back-ne WHY…

ZIM UGOCHUKWU Ugochukwu loved to explore, but when researching her trips, she struggled to find testimonials from, or even images of, women like her. In 2013, she started Travel Noire, which provides trip advice, excursions, and community for travelers of color. THE START-UP FOUNDER LAND THE JOB Zim Ugochukwu studied biology in college and held a variety of jobs, including leading an anti-tobacco campaign and working with farmers at the base of the Himalayan Mountains in Northern India.

Why do they call it manning the grill, anyway? We’ve got a beef with anyone who says girls can’t grill. One way to quiet the noise? Fill mouths with delish burgers! 1 PICK A GRILL Gas grills light up fast but can be expensive. Charcoal ones are cheaper and more portable, like Ikea’s Korpön grill, which is a cool $17 (Ikea stores). Make a pyramid of charcoal in the center of the bowl, and insert cardboard pieces at random areas. Light them to get it going. (Avoid using lighter fluid; your food will taste lighter-fluid-y.) When the coals turn gray, flatten ’em out to create even heat. 2 PREP THE GRATES Brush the grates as the coals heat up, and when they’re really hot, pour some oil on a rag,…
