The BRAIDS Two things to know about Brooklyn-based hairstylist Holly Mills: She cut these bangs herself the day before the shoot, and she almost never wears braids as intricate as these. “My everyday style is more tomboy, so this is my ultimate ‘I tried today’ hair,” she says. “But it still feels a little tough.” 1. Mist a volumizer throughout damp hair and rough-dry for a sexy, undone texture. 2. Smooth a few drops of oil over your ends, then wrap large, random sections of hair around a one-and-a-quarter-inch curling iron, stopping just short of the ends. A braid on stick-straight hair can look too cutesy. 3. Part your hair down the middle and braid both sides, crossing pieces under each other rather than over so the braids stick out.…

“Nudity” is a classic hot-weather theme, especially in perfumery. During the summer months, the impulse is to reach for splashy, invigorating scents that roll right off the pulse points and leave no trace, like water. But the fragrances that really capture the essence of naked skin aren’t aired out or stripped down. They’re round and faceted, with a specific combination of creamy musk, sheer wood, and soft (but not sweet) vanilla notes. Many “naked” scents sit on a bed of iris, giving them the same clean and powdery appeal as cosmetics and makeup. The result is fleshy and serene, but not overtly sexy. It’s a delicate balance. A few years ago, I heard a song about the empty space that exists between two people, and it inspired me to create…

Many Chanel fragrances sport modest names. Take Chanel No. 5, a groundbreaking floral aldehyde that won’t admit to being the first of its breed (No. 1 may have been more fitting). There are also No. 18, No. 19, No. 22, and one sparkling creation simply dubbed Beige. Chanel’s latest perfume, Boy Chanel, sounds equally understated—slim-hipped and spare. But the label has a headier meaning. Named for Arthur “Boy” Capel, the love of Coco Chanel’s life, the new scent expresses romance and elegance with rose geranium, a flower that smells both lusty and minty. Citrus, lavender, and musk add sharpness and depth, representing the famous couple’s crisp style. The result is a streamlined fragrance with true sex appeal—the equivalent of a tailored suit that hugs every curve.…

It has all the trappings of a glossy West Hollywood salon—marble countertops, glass-block walls, a cast of celebrity clients. Just none of the attitude. Hairstylists Mara Roszak and Alex Polillo and colorist Denis De Souza (of Emma Stone and Olivia Wilde hair fame) set up Mare in a cozy bungalow. They moved in 12 styling chairs and kept the mood laid-back and the patio garden inviting. The house specialty is beachy perfection, both in cuts (textured) and color (sunny). All of which means that those 12 chairs might just be the best seats in all of Los Angeles.…

“ These HEELS are casual enough to keep the dress and coat from looking too fancy.” “ The dress reminds me of Courtney Love—the SWEATER is very Kurt Cobain. I like grunge, but I want it to look nice, so I went with cashmere.” “ I feel the SEXIEST when I’m not self-conscious, so I put a T-shirt under the dress to be more comfortable.” FAVORITE THINGS SHOES: “Beatrice Valenzuela.” BAG: “Little Doe.” SUNGLASSES: “Ray-Bans.” JEWELRY: “I don’t wear it often, but if I do, I wear vintage.” LINGERIE: “Petit Bateau. It’s a French brand that has the nicest cotton underwear.” SKIN CARE: “I love Dr. Hauschka’s Cleansing Milk.” MAKEUP: “Koh Gen Do foundation.” VACATION SPOT: “Costa Rica. It’s so mellow and has a good surf scene.”…

EVEN AMONG WOMEN WHO STILL EAT FOR THEIR BATHROOM SCALE, THE TENDENCY NOW IS TO DISPENSE WITH CALORIE COUNTING. We are gathered, dear friends, to pay honor and, just maybe, to say farewell forever to an acquaintance not-so-dearly departed: the calorierestriction diet. Because in this world where women sip small-batch nut milk before barre class, legions of people who aren’t actually sensitive to gluten won’t touch a dinner roll, and eating like a cavewoman is considered a viable nutritional plan even though most cavewomen didn’t survive past 35, it has become devilishly hard to find someone who admits she follows a straight-up calorie-counting diet anymore. Skeptics will say the shift is purely semantic, a case of political correctness in which everybody is still dieting but nobody wants to utter the…

2005 YEAR “WEDGIE” WAS ADDED TO Webster’s New World College Dictionary (also included that year: “Al Qaeda” and “blog”). $128 STARTING PRICE OF THE NEW Levi’s Wedgie Fit jeans, which are designed to lift and separate the wearer’s behind for a fuller-looking butt. 5th BOOK IN THE CHILDREN’S series Captain Underpants in which readers are introduced to a diabolical villain named Wedgie Woman. 0.05 POINTS DEDUCTED if a gymnast adjusts her leotard during competition. 1938 YEAR DESIGNER ELSA SCHIAPARELLI INVENTED the Wedgie, a shoe with a two-inch-high heel; the style later became known as the wedge.…

Angela Soto, a Brooklynbased hairstylist, sees her world through the lens of ’90s California: “I was raised in Orange County, so everything I do and wear is inspired by old-school skate culture,” she says. Soto gave her naturally curly bob a “Christy Turlington meets skater girl” update with messy waves and a whole bunch of texture. “Everything I DO and wear is INSPIRED by OLD-SCHOOL skate culture.” 1. Rake a quarter-size dollop of lightweight waveenhancing cream through damp hair, flip your head over, and rough-dry your roots to create volume. 2. Flip your head back up and blow-dry the rest of your hair until it’s 75 percent dry, twisting random two-inch sections from your hairline around your finger as you dry them to “encourage piecey waves,” says Soto. 3. Let…

Right now, glitter—actual chunks of light-catching, arts-and-crafts-level sparkle—is all the better when it’s big and silver. “Silver plays up bronzed skin and makes your eyes glow more than gold,” says makeup artist Violette, who tapped craft glitter over metallic cream shadow for unrestrained sparkle. Swipe on peach lipstick and blush, and dance toward the brightest lights you can find.…

First you have to get past the idea that you’re rubbing deodorant on your face. These are cleansing sticks—massage one over damp skin and watch dirt and makeup disappear in a soft lather. IF YOU’RE FEELING PARCHED: Coconut oil in H2O+ Elements Cleansing Stick whisks away dirt and oil without stripping skin. IF YOU NEED A DETOX: Boscia Charcoal Cleansing Stick gets its color from bamboo charcoal, known for its ability to draw out debris from pores. IF YOU’RE A SENSITIVE TYPE: Studded with bits of rose petal, Su:m37 Miracle Rose Cleansing Stick is very natural and gentle enough for the most delicate complexions. IF YOU LOVE ROCK-STAR EYE MAKEUP: Clinique Eye Makeup Remover Stick dissolves longwearing mascara and liner with a single swipe of the slim tube.…

Zoe Saldana is talking shit. No, for real: “Everybody told me, ‘Oh, don’t worry, I know you hate changing diapers, but when you have your own kid.... Well, guess what? I had my own kids, and I will do whatever I need to do to not change a dirty diaper,” the 38-year-old star of this month’s Star Trek Beyond says of her now-19-monthold identical twin boys, Cy and Bowie. “A blowout? I can’t do it—I end up with shit everywhere! There is shit on the boy; there is shit on me; there is shit in my hair. And I’m like, How did this happen?” How did this happen? How did the little girl from Queens who got shipped off to the Dominican Republic at nine years old when her father…

On the set of her second Allure cover shoot, photographed by Patrick Demarchelier in New York City, Saldana eagerly flipped through racks of crimsoncolored sportswear. “I love red,” she said. “It’s my favorite color.” Midway through the day, Saldana’s sister Cisely stopped by to watch the action. “I still get amazed when I see her up there doing her thing,” she said, nodding at Saldana as she posed in a white beaded Balmain top. Off camera, the sisters sat side by side, giggling and chatting in rapid- fire English and Spanish. The actress pushed through the day without a lunch break, stopping to eat only after the final photo was taken. “You need to try this—it’s so good,” she called to her sister between bites of salmon taco and grilled…

OMBRÉ LIPS Blend and blot your way to a mini work of art. We’ll show you how. THE 1-2-3: OMBRÉ LIPS Strategically layering lip liner, lipstick, and powder is what gives this look dimension. 1 Outline your mouth and fill in the corners of your lips with a plum lip liner—the darker, the better. “I know that seems intimidating, but you really, really want to start dark. Otherwise, you won’t see or notice the faded effect,” says makeup artist Violette, who likes M.A.C. Lip Pencil in Nightmoth (above). 2 Liquid lipstick blends well and then stays put. Apply a fuchsia shade, like Sephora Collection Cream Lip Stain in Whipped Blush (above), with a small, flat lip-liner brush. “Fill in the middle of your lips first and the color won’t get…

“My kinky curls tend to be really DRY, so I add a ton of BUTTERS and OILS to keep them MOISTURIZED.” Perfection doesn’t happen overnight—unless you’re Lacy Redway, New York City hairstylist to Lupita Nyong’o and Olivia Palermo. Redway’s glorious curls form magically (well, almost) while she sleeps. Since she stopped relaxing her hair more than a decade ago, she’s perfected a very personal, and very specific, bedtime routine. 1. “I have tightly coiled, kinky curls that tend to be really dry, so I need to add a ton of butters and oils to keep them moisturized,” says Redway, who suggests microwaving equal parts jojoba oil, coconut oil, and castor oil in a bowl to make the mixture easier to spread through your hair. 2. Section off a two-inch piece…

Add to polar bears, coral reefs, and the Taj Mahal one more thing being ravaged by pollution: your epidermis. We’ve previously reported that diesel car exhaust and soot create free radicals that trigger wrinkles and dark spots and that washing your face at night helps prevent the damage. Now beauty companies want to smogproof your skin before you leave the house, with new products like Ren Clean Skincare Anti-Pollution Mist. Whether or not “anti-pollution” is on the label, look for an ingredient list that includes potent antioxidants (like idebenone, in Prevage City Smart SPF 50). Moisturizers also build up your skin’s barrier to keep pollution from penetrating. We love Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins Mega-Defense SPF 45, especially since Origins uses recycled materials for some of its packaging and funds…

We can’t pinpoint the exact moment it happened— maybe it was when Google reported a spike in searches for “Cara Delevingne”—but brows have become the featured attraction on the human face. So naturally, there are more ways than ever to enhance your own set. The teensy spooley brush of Charlotte Tilbury Legendary Brows coats every hair with gel for a textured, thickened effect, minus the matted crunch. L’Oréal Paris Brow Stylist Prep & Shape Pro Kit contains a wax-and-powder duo that softly fills sparse patches. And Benefit’s nine-product brow bonanza includes a subtle pencil, a no-shine (or flake) gel, and highlighters for the brow bone. (Use the Goof Proof Brow Pencil and Gimme Brow Volumizing Gel to get the look above.) Basically, there’s no excuse not to go for the…

CULT OBJECT(S) Oribe’s hair-care line is the cultiest of cult-y. The Dry Texturizing Spray alone has inspired serious fanaticism. Now the cultdom (yes, it’s a word) is expanding—big time—with makeup, tools, and skin care. Free of parabens and petroleum, the creams and cleansers coddle from head to toe (and have the same dreamy jasmine scent as the hair products). And one of the richly pigmented lipsticks plus matching polish will finish off whatever look you go for, which will be some version of Rich Lady on a Yacht (minus the yacht).…

No offense to people from Düsseldorf (we love your schnitzel!), but no one goes to the beach to channel her inner German. Or Pole. Or Greenlander. I’ll admit that people are rightfully inspired by Brazilians’ and Californians’ top-notch coastal cultures. Who doesn’t want to be the Californian at the beach? All athletic and bleach-haired, looking like you’ve never seen the inside of a cubicle with your own two eyes. God bless the Californians, and their sexier cousins, the Brazilians. But for my money, the most alluring women on the beach come from another place. A more lipsticked, bikinied, over-the-top kind of place. An ancient Mediterranean civilization. The home of beautifully perfumed sunbathers, marvelously adorned waders, unrepentant wine swillers. You know them, the bruschetta eaters, the mirrored-sunglass wearers, the hair-gel enthusiasts.…
