Lust for Dust Your mom probably excused herself to go powder her nose. Your version? Powdering your lips. Tinted lip powders glide on from the applicator like any gloss, then melt onto your mouth to create a sultry, saturated stain. Best part: You don’t have to leave the party to reapply— the waterproof pigments last for hours. Try Touch In Sol Chroma Powder Lip Tints ($20 each , sephora.com). Scents That Stir When you recruit renowned designer Philippe Starck to create a line of fragrances, you know the bottles will be stunning (see exhibit A, right). But how will the actual scents stack up? As it turns out, all three—which evoke the fresh, mineral, and musky smells of clean, sexy skin—are just as exquisite. Starck Peau de Soie, Peau de…

Turnheads withthese four fresh updates to holiday partyhair. Bombshell Braid As Seen on Riley Keough This “graceful, playful style works best on second-day hair,” says Tresemme stylist Jeanie Syfu. So spritz first with dry shampoo (try Macadamia Professional Style Extend Dry Shampoo, $20, ulta.com) to ensure freshness and to give hair some grip. Sweep your hair back, leaving a few loose pieces around the front, and begin braiding at the crown, fastening the braid at the bottom with a clear elastic. Finish with hair spray all over to hold the braid in place. (Try Tresemmé Two Extra Firm Hold Hairspray, $4, at drugstores.) “This style starts neat,” Syfu says, “then when and if it gets messy, it still looks amazing!” Party Pony As Seen on Kendall Jenner "The full ponytail…

The tightest bellies aren’t formed simply by firming the four muscles that make up your abs. “Think back to those athletes’ bodies at the Olympics,” says Dixie Stanforth, Ph.D., a teaching fellow in the department of kinesiology and health education at the University of Texas at Austin. “One of the things that makes them look so good is that they don’t train muscles in isolation. They’re not doing abs-only moves. They’re using many muscles at once, because that’s how the body works best.” In other words, thanks to the domino effect, fine-tuning how much other supporting muscles pitch in during certain exercises can help you trim your waist. Meet five muscles that affect your belly, and find out how to get them to work as ab tighteners. Neck Flexor Have…

A multicolored meal makes for more than an amazing photo in your feed. When those vivid tones come from veggies, fruit, herbs, spices, and seeds, it’s a fun, eye-catching way to get all kinds of nutrients. Here, chefs bring the digitally driven trend to three healthy dishes. Vegan Technicolor Pizza Spread cilantro pesto (or your favorite variety) on whole wheat pita or flatbread, then arrange even rows of sliced red peppers, orange peppers, mango, and red onion on top, leaving a strip of green pesto in the middle. Drizzle with olive oil and bake on an oiled baking sheet at 300° for 15 minutes or until pita is slightly golden and vegetables have softened. —Created by Matt Holloway and Michelle Davis, authors of Thug Kitchen 101 Rainbow Ratatouille Cut red…

If you’ve ever taken a yoga class, and my bet is that as a Shape reader, you probably have, you know how much emphasis is placed on your breath. In yoga, breathing powers you through each pose. And when you’re struggling in any way—physically, emotionally, spiritually—just the simple act of coming “back to the breath” will guide you, even if that means making the decision to rest in child’s pose. I’d like to take that idea and apply it to the holiday season. One thing I love about this time of year is all the twinkling lights. Yes, there’s the pageantry and festivities, the tradition and reflection, but that stuff can often be layered with a lot of stress and pressure. When that happens, and you feel yourself being consumed…

I’m not talking about the tops or the toes—I don’t grow hair there. No, I shave the bottoms of my feet, which are thick and dry and gross. Th ey’re a helpful buffer when I navigate the Legos my twin 7-year-old boys leave all over the floor, but there’s a pair of leather slingbacks in my closet that are begging to be worn, and I have no time for a salon pedicure (those twins again). So I shave my heels in the shower. I’ve found only one razor that works for this trick: the Bic Sensitive Shaver ($4 for 12, shopbic.com), with just a single blade and a gap that lets my skin shavings pass through rather than jam up the works. A few tips: First, let heels soften in…

Think outside the dumbbell rack for a fresh way to up the ante on your workout: Grab a medicine ball, says Kaisa Keranen, an exercise physiologist and the owner of KaisaFit, a pop-up HIIT fitness class in Seattle. “It’s an incredibly functional and versatile piece of gym equipment,” Keranen says. Because of the ball’s spherical shape, you can easily go with the flow of a fast AMRAP set (HIIT-speak for “as many reps or rounds as possible”). Grip it anywhere—the weight is distributed evenly—and you can use it more dynamically and through a larger range of motion than other weights. (You would never toss up a dumbbell and catch it, after all.) That means you’re able to target more muscles from more angles, Keranen says. In fact, a recent…

-Dana, 40, San Francisco You don’t have to obsess over the muscle-making macronutrient, but you can’t forget about it. “Protein is vital to your energy balance and immune system function,” says Paige Crawford, an R.D.N. for EXOS, a human performance research company in San Diego. Your body metabolizes all protein the same way, but how your body uses protein calories during a workout varies based on what you’re doing . “In endurance activity, it helps create energy so you can go for longer; for resistance exercise, it helps muscles produce more force faster,” Crawford says. Simply follow her two rules and you’ll have enough protein to fuel and recover from most workouts: “Spread your intake throughout the day, and aim to eat about 20 grams of protein 30 minutes after…

You’ll be seeing this squash, also called Japanese pumpkin, on menus all over, and no wonder: It’s sweeter than butternut and has a fluffy texture. Plus, it’s packed with iron, beta-carotene, and vitamin C. It makes a great substitute for mashed potatoes, or savor the squash roasted, stewed, and pureed in these delicious chef creations. Blend It Into Creamy Soup Roast halved and seeded squash at 350°, flesh side down, until soft, about 30 minutes, and let cool for 10 minutes.

When Bonita Norris scaled Mount Everest in 2010 , she became the youngest British woman at the (ag 22)time age to do so. What’s more, she reached the 29,000-foot peak only two years after taking up mountaineering, which she did on a whim. “I was at a university lecture about Everest and decided then and there that I was going to become a mountaineer,” Norris says. She never looked back. Now the world-class climber is on a mission to get more people hooked on the outdoor high. Fresh off an expedition on K2, the world’s second-highest (and deadliest) mountain, she shares some pointers for living fearlessly. Mental Game Your goals should be really big and scare the crap out of you. Even the thought of Everest made my heart race.…

A frittata just might be the perfect midday meal. It is easy to make ahead, has protein and veggies, and tastes great hot or cold—and you can pack it with flavor. Toss pieces in a salad or between two slices of bread, or pair it with a grain—there’s no wrong way.

Caffeine equals energy, which most of us consider a godsend in its own right. But the latest thinking is that the stimulant can also give you a significant edge in the gym. “There are years’ worth of research proving caffeine’s efficacy,” says Jose Antonio, Ph.D., the CEO of the International Society of Sports Nutrition. It has enormous power as a safe and effective performance-enhancing drug. Caffeine works by increasing activity in the central nervous system, making you feel more alert and awake, which sharpens your concentration and speeds your reaction times, says Philip J. Prins, Ph.D., an assistant professor at Grove City College in Pennsylvania, who has studied caffeine’s effects on exercise. At the same time, caffeine disrupts the pain signals your muscles send to your brain, so you feel…
