HIGHER-LEVEL SEX “The best lesson I ever learned: Just be responsible; be kind about how you use your sexuality.” BATHROOM HUMOR “On the first day of shooting [TVD], I went into Paul Wesley’s trailer and put plastic wrap over his toilet. My work was seamless—I mean, I checked every angle. But after I left, I realized I may have to spend years working with this guy. So I ran and ripped it off. Thank goodness I did—that was a defining moment in our brotherhood.” DRAMATIC EFFECT “The idea of being with a bad boy has always been attractive to girls, but it’s actually a need for adrenaline or drama that makes that type of guy attractive. Bad boys are just in it for themselves. They’re energy vampires—but they can only…

“For our third date, he invited me over and cooked dinner, although he was still living with his ex-girlfriend. She was supposed to be out of the house for the night but showed up unexpectedly. When she did, he had me hide in the closet—R. Kelly style. I am not in the habit of hiding in people’s houses on dates, so when she went to use the bathroom, I sprinted out of the apartment without saying good-bye.” —QUIN T., 24 “We planned to have our first meeting at a fancy bar. He showed up late—wearing sneakers and a backpack—and his first question was, ‘Do you want to just have a job right now, or do you want to work your whole life and have a career?” I said I wanted…

RAISE YOUR HAND if you haven’t shampooed in a few days. Whether you love the bedhead look, are aiming to preserve your color, or just don’t have enough time, “people are shampooing less—and that can mean scalp buildup and brittle ends that aren’t being regularly conditioned,” says Jennifer Chwalek, MD, a dermatologist at Union Square Laser Dermatology. When your hair can’t make up its mind, here’s how to deal. Apply a Primer Mask You know the clay masks you can’t stop slathering on your T-zone? There’s also a version for hair. L’Oréal’s preshampoo treatment goes on dry tresses and contains three different clays that soak up excess sebum and impurities on your scalp to lessen the load for your shampoo. It’s like using a stain remover before washing your clothes.…

Admit it: You have some kind of list in mind when deciding whether or not a guy has potential to be The One. It probably goes something like: must be tall, confident but not cocky, have his sh*t together, share your love for alpacas… whatever. It’s easy to think that if he checks off on enough items, you’ll be #SoulMates, right? Actually, not so fast. Even if someone seems like your perfect match—on an app or after several dates—new studies suggest the crucial factors for compatibility are way less obvious than, say, a shared taste in music or bonding over being outdoorsy. Here’s what you need to look for to determine that a mate is really right for you and some less important details you can let slide. THE SURPRISING…

THE FITNESS BADASS JEN WIDERSTROM From her new book, Diet Right for Your Personality Type, to her fitspo-packed social feeds, the Biggest Loser trainer, 34, is all business when it comes to delivering healthy, hot results. I CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT: My nutritional jumper cables: water, almonds, and edible seaweed. MY CONFIDENCE ADVICE: Never forget—no one can ever do what you do, feel what you feel, or be what you can be. HOW I DEAL WITH HATERS: Ghost them. Nothing makes someone feel more foolish than not getting a response after being rude. YOU CAN GET AHEAD BY: Being a pleasure to be around. People will work with your shortcomings because they enjoy you. THE HIT-MAKING BADASS TOVE LO The Swedish sensation’s radio smashes (“Habits,” “Talking Body,” “Cool Girl”) have earned…

OVER THE WEEKEND of last October 15, two women at the University of California at Berkeley were allegedly sexually assaulted at separate offcampus fraternity parties. Sadly, nothing about such news is shocking. Around 25 percent of female students are similarly attacked during their time at college. In 2014 alone, at least 10 cases each were reported at nearly 100 U.S. colleges, according to federal campus safety data. What is surprising: The Berkeley Greek system’s response. The two attacks, in the very city that gave birth to the free-speech rebellion of the 1960s, triggered a sort of existential crisis for the fraternities. First, they put a temporary ban on all parties. A week later, at a Greek roundtable, the frats acknowledged their failure to protect women—and pledged immediate action. “There…

A POTENTIAL MENTOR First, be honest about your objective. If I meet someone I admire, from whom I think I can learn something, I say just that. Then I try to find a conversational sweet spot—an intersection of our individual interests. For example, I have been wanting to learn more about art and recently had the privilege of meeting an artist I think is amazing. It turns out he is very curious about tech and the role it plays in artistic expression. So I said, “I know very little about art, but I do know the tech space—maybe we can compare notes and learn from each other.” That led to a lovely talk. A BUSY COWORKER Time is the most valuable commodity for many of us, so be respectful…

“My 30something ex asked me to help him scroll through Pinterest to pick out patches he could sew onto a vest for his mom. We spent hours studying the options, and he even bought an expensive sewing machine to make it.” —ANN V., 32 “I dated a guy who was so intimate with his mom that I constantly felt left out. They had their own secret language, and she’d call him two or three times during all our dates. If he didn’t answer, she’d resort to calling me. It was like she was dating him too.” —CARLY O., 20 “My boyfriend is the biggest mama’s boy I know. He tells his mother everything, including the details of our fights, like what he said that made me yell or cry. He…

GO-TO LENS Flower Power Why You Love It Blemishes and cracked lips? Boy, bye. This smooths every flaw. Work It Swipe on a blurring stick before foundation to minimize pores, redness, and fine lines instantly, then give your lips a boost with a hydrating, hyaluronic acid–enriched balm. GO-TO LENS Bronzed Butterfly Why You Love It That glow. It’s better than an actual weekend beach getaway. Work It Mimic a real, dimensional tan by swirling on three sunkissed highlighters (not just one): a light hue on cheekbones, a deeper shade in the hollows, and a medium tone anywhere else you want to look alive. GO-TO LENS Big-Eyed Beauty Why You Love It Subtly defined brows and bright, baby-doll eyes put you at peak hotness. Work It Amp up your arches by…

P.M. Commit to Two Steps 1. CLEANSE If you do nothing else before bed, take off your eye makeup. Sleep in it on the reg and you can expect redness and swelling the next day, says Jaimie Glick, MD, a dermatologist at NYC’s Sadick Dermatology. The fastest way to remove all formulas (even waterproof): this oil-based remover. 2. TREAT Try retinol. It’s the only ingredient proven to smooth lines and minimize dark circles by prompting skin to produce more elastin and collagen, says Howard Sobel, MD, a derm in NYC and founder of DDF Skin Care. Toss on these eye patches too. They’re infused with hyaluronic acid to plump skin. Can I Just Use My Facial Moisturizer Instead of Eye Cream? Most derms say no. Face lotions usually contain fragrance,…

THINK BEFORE YOU INK FOR A DESIGN YOU’LL LOVE FOREVER… ➔ Scroll Instagram for inspo (two of our favorites: @Tattoos_Of_Instagram and @TattooInkspiration). Ditto Tattoodo.com, a media hub that could be Pinterest’s rebellious cousin. ➔ Make it meaningful. “The more purpose a tattoo has, the less likely you’ll be to regret it,” says tattoo artist Keith “Bang Bang” McCurdy (Rihanna and Cara Delevingne are among his clients). ➔ Test-drive a tat with Inkbox (right). The kit offers a plant-based ink that stains the epidermis (real tats go deeper, to the dermis) for 12 to 15 days. Rock a premade design or freestyle it. ➔ Find your spirit artist: Most publish their portfolios online, but McCurdy suggests doing a drive-by. “Ask to see their unfiltered, healed work—ideally in person, not in a…

Q / MY GUY’S BEST FRIEND HAS BEEN WITH HIS GIRLFRIEND FOR YEARS, BUT HE ALWAYS CHEATS ON HER. IT MAKES ME QUESTION THE DUDE I’M DATING. ARE MOST MEN LIKE HIS FRIEND? DO THEY SEE STRAYING AS A NBD THING? A Cheating is common and complicated. I’ve known some guys, like your BF’s friend, who cheat all the time like it’s no big deal. I’ve also known men who cheat rarely—and it’s a very big deal—and those who’ve never been unfaithful. Don’t judge all men by his friend’s behavior, but be practical. Since some dudes think like him, you have to set ground rules. Early on, be clear that cheating is not acceptable. If you’d dump any guy who cheats, say so. What most men do with most women…

The first time I made any money of my own, I took it straight to the beauty counter and bought myself a lemon-scented cleanser and a skin-scrubbing brush. I was a 13-year-old babysitting machine, and I was on a mission. A few years later, I moved on to Clinique’s efficient three-step system, which in my mind is skin care’s gateway drug.1 From there, it was Erno Laszlo black sea-mud soap and Mario Badescu facials, upping the ante with each new treatment and each new paycheck. Hello, my name is Linda, and I am a skin-care addict. While makeup is getting all the millennial love in beauty today—with contouring creams, highlighting compacts, eye-shadow palettes, and lip kits selling like mad—I’m here on the other side of the divide to celebrate skin…

PINK + BLUE This season is all about subtle nail art. Paint your base with two coats of nude (like Dior Vernis in Sienna, $27), let dry, then use a nail-striping brush to create thick, angular pops of bright pink and blue (try Deborah Lippmann in Daytripper, $18, and Nars in Ikiru, $20) along the top and bottom of each nail. AQUA + COBALT Blue liner: Been there, done that. But two shades of blue side by side? Buckle up! Start with a thick aqua flick, and let it dry (key for keeping lines crisp). Then trace a thinner cobalt line along lash lines only; it’s way easier than trying to stack the hues on top of each other. (Our model is wearing L’Oréal Paris Infallible Paints Eyeliners in Vivid…

Q I am a lesbian and keep having steamy dreams about my female boss. Do I need to quit my job? A Don’t start updating your LinkedIn just yet. “If you’re fantasizing safely in your head, there’s not a thing in the world wrong with that,” says certified dream analyst Lauri Loewenberg, author of Dream On It. “Sex dreams are often about a psychological connection, not a physical one.” Phew! So it may mean that you want to emulate your boss’s qualities. Or you could just be practicing in your mind: Loewenberg says that sultry reveries often help us explore untapped fantasies…without ever having to leave bed. Q This is totally TMI, but I hate the taste of my guy. How can I enjoy oral more? A “There are…

A Pitcher of Blood-Orange Mimosas Not everyone likes to drink at noon— monsters!—so offer up this cocktail and one that skips the booze and swaps soda for prosecco. SERVES 10 5 oz. Absolut Elyx vodka 5 oz. Aperol 10 oz. bloodorange juice (regular OJ works too) 10 oz. fresh lemon juice 10 oz. simple syrup 1 bottle prosecco brut 1. In a large pitcher, add all ingredients except prosecco. Stir until fully incorporated, and garnish with orange slices. 2. Fill glasses with mixture, and top each with prosecco.

HOW TO FIX A FAIL Because sometimes ordering a pizza is not an…

RULE 1 Credit Cards Are Evil NOPE. A little plastic can go a long way toward establishing a stellar credit score, something you’ll need to buy a car, a house, and even some phone plans. When you skip getting a card, lenders have fewer ways to confirm you’ll pay your bills on time. Worried about sinking into debt? Start small. Keep your balance low, or use your card only a few times a year to build up a charge history. Pick a card with no annual fees, and opt for a rewards one (they have higher interest rates and lots of fine print) only if you can pay off the balance each month, says Beverly Harzog, author of The Debt Escape Plan. RULE 2 Buying Always Beats Renting NOT ALWAYS.…

CRAZY SITUATION WORKING YOUR LAST NERVE? VENT HERE! HOG WILD “At the airport and wanting to enjoy my breakfast too, but I guess his bag also needed to eat.” —TAMORA S., VIA INBOX DOUBLE FEATURE “Parking in an apartment complex is scarce to begin with so you really want to take up 2 spaces?!” —BRITTANY Y., VIA INBOX WEIGHT PROBLEM “When u go to the gym for a workout & find this mess!

1. Your Sunday night ritual consists of: a. Mapping out your week. You hate Mondays without a plan of attack. b. Wine, Real Housewives, and debating whether Giggy should have his own show. c. Collecting food and clothes to donate to charity… or at least an unemployed friend. 2. Your roomie is sick. You deal by: a. Quarantining her in her room. Just ’cause her immune system is weak doesn’t mean you have to pay the price. b. Recording her cough and setting it as a beat to a new song, “Get Better, You Sexy Bish.” c. Posting a call to action on Facebook for everyone to send her good vibes. 3. Your sister owes you money, and you need it to pay rent. How do you get it back?…

Q&A BISHOP BRIGGS The 24-year-old’s major pipes (heard on soul-stirrers like “River”) landed her on Coachella’s lineup before her first album dropped. LEVEL UP: “‘River’ came out of the first writing session I had with my producers. I sing that song through my gut and my soul. There’s something very cathartic about singing that way. I was pushing the boundaries of what I thought I was capable of writing.” GUILTY PLEASURE: “Real Housewives. All of them.” WORLD TOUR: “I was born in London. I moved to Japan when I was 4 and lived there for six years, then in Hong Kong for eight. I was 18 when I moved to L.A., where I live now. I could’ve had so many different accents, and I chose a Valley girl one!” LOVE…

“I knew I was going to see this cute guy at dinner, so I picked out a very sexy V-neck bodysuit. Of course, there was absolutely no way to wear a bra with it. I took my chances, but during dessert, I had a major nip slip. It just popped out. I had no clue what had happened until he finally awkwardly pointed it out. I’d been sitting there, eating sorbet with my boob out.” —MICAELA M., 21, STUDENT, HAWORTH, NJ WE KNOW YOU HAVE CONFESSIONS TO SHARE.... E-MAIL THE DIRTY DETAILS TO CONFESSIONS @COSMOPOLITAN.COM, OR TWEET YOUR TALES TO @COSMOPOLITAN! GUY CONFESSION “I had just finished my lunch break and was heading back to work. I’d eaten some bad sushi, and my stomach was killing me. I tried to…

Each month, Cosmo lets one passionate voice sound off.) I HAVE BEEN ASKED many times how I managed to excel in a male-dominated industry. The truth is, every industry in which I’ve worked has been controlled by men—retail, restaurants, law, and now, television. My feeling on women’s equality is that it’s better to show than tell. I believe in the Steve Martin mantra “Be so good, they can’t ignore you.” In all the years I worked at Fox, I never had to ask for a promotion. Some lined up outside the boss’s office, asking for this or that show. I spent my time working night and day, and opportunity came to me. My approach is “Just do better; be better.” That’s not to say there’s no bias, no sexism. There…

DOWNLOAD THE COSMO NOW APP AND SCAN THIS FOR VIDEO HOW-TOS AND TO SHOP THESE LOOKS. MEET LEAH @LEAHWYAR EXECUTIVE BEAUTY DIRECTOR #NOFILTER Ace Your Base Cushion-style foundations make it easy to achieve flawless skin. “Start light,” says Carolina Dali, a Maybelline New York guest makeup artist, who swears by applying a thin layer of color first, then going back over trouble spots for extra coverage. Get Lit The secret to Leah’s luminosity: strobing with highlighter. Lightly tap a liquid version onto the high points of your cheekbones, inner corners of the eyes, and just above the cupid’s bow, says Dali. Liner Notes Black liner demands attention—and a fine-tipped pencil ensures a natural definition of both the inner rims and lash lines. For the lips? “A neutral tone that’s slightly…

THERE’S A REASON it’s been dubbed the dreadmill: Moving in one direction at a steady speed can be…zzz—not to mention, bring you to a fitness standstill. “Most people get on a treadmill, and within five minutes, they are so bored,” says David Siik, creator of Equinox’s Precision Running program, “but having a plan can change everything.” Especially one that combines calorie-torching cardio with muscle-defining strength training. Enter this routine, created exclusively for Cosmo by Siik; certified trainer Kira Stokes, founder of the Stoked Method training technique; and certified trainer Anna Kaiser, founder of AKT fitness. “I tend not to look at pieces of equipment as having boundaries,” says Stokes. A treadmill can be a step, a platform, a mat, a reformer— you get the idea. Hop on and get head-to-toe…

PUT A BRA ON IT Forget what conventional wisdom says about so-called underwear. Flip the script, and rock a naughty bralet over a sweet sweater top to up the sexy factor. ACCENT YOUR WAIST The fastest, chicest way to cheat a shapelier figure is with a corset belt. Wrap one around an ultraglam dress for a look that’s off-kilter cool. Love soft, romantic curls? Evenly coat them with TRESemmé Extra Firm Control Gel, $4, then dry with a diffuser. For extra drama, softly tease upward or outward. PRESENTED BY TRESEMMÉ SEX UP A SHIRTDRESS Remixed menswear-inspired dresses highlight your figure way better than your BF’s button-down. Look for deconstructed silhouettes with thigh-grazing slits, and leave the neckline unbuttoned. REENGAGE WITH RUFFLES Girlish frills turn dramatic in a floor-sweeping, layered maxiskirt.…
