“The secret to keeping a bright pout looking modern is to make it the focus of your
makeup,” says Pat McGrath, Gucci Cosmetics artistic director.GOOFPROOF PREP A well-hydrated mouth ensures smooth color appli-
cation and extends staying power, says Kate Lee, a Chanel celebrity makeup
artist. Exfoliate if necessary (experts swear by mixing coconut oil and sugar),
then try Lee’s technique: “Drench your lips” with a layer of balm while applying
the rest of your makeup, then remove it. If you’re combating fne lines or thinning
lips, use a neutral liner to enlarge the shape and prevent feathering.FIND A FLATTERING SHADE “Look at the undertone rather than the
color itself,” says McGrath. Fair skin: Blue-based reds or peach-infused pinks neu-
tralize the fushing common with pale coloring. Medium tones: All shades enhance
warm complexions except blue-based ones, which can wash you out. Dark skin:
Magenta or fuchsia hues with deep red undertones are the most complimentary.TRICKS AT EVERY AGE Try these adjustments in every decade. 20s:
Don’t be afraid to venture into new texture territory. 30s: Conceal bags under
your eyes, since bright lipsticks magnify dark circles. 40s: Sheer moisturizing
formulas help plump lips without bleeding into fne lines. 50s & 60s: Rich reds
create the illusion of a whiter smile without tacking years onto your face.NAILS
“A vibrant orange, coral, or pink nail adds the perfect pop of color, not unlike a
statement shoe or necklace,” says Michelle Saunders, an Essie celebrity manicurist.MAKE IT LAST A chip-free manicure requires starting with clean, dry nail
beds, says Saunders, the brains behind the paint jobs at Carolina Herrera. How-to:
Wipe of all residue with polish remover. We like Zoya’s Remove Plus ($9.99). Next,
fle your nails; a rounded, almond shape looks most modern, explains Lippmann.
Last, wash your hands, then swipe each nail with an acetone-soaked cotton round.POLISH LIKE A PRO “The biggest mistake women make when doing
their own nails is trying to achieve the color they see in the bottle on the frst
coat,” says Lippmann. Remember, you’ll get full coverage on the second applica-
tion. Choose a base coat depending on your needs—a growth booster? a ridge
fller?—then wait two minutes between layers. Finish with a glossy top coat.TRICKS AT EVERY AGE Adapt the trend in every decade. 20s: Experi-
ment with nail art. 30s: Try a long-lasting formula like CND’s Vinylux system,
which ensures a week sans nicks. 40s: Prevent cracking and peeling with a nail-
hardening base coat. 50s & 60s: Select shimmery pinks to camoufage ridges. nCHIC
