The season is shifting, and now, so is your nail polish. Hold your hand one way, and your lacquer is lilac, teal, or copper; rotate it a bit, and you’ll reveal periwinkle, gold, pink . . . These new iridescent shades are like optical illusions. “It’s all about your perspective,” says celebrity manicurist Julie Kandalec (@julieknailsnyc), who recommends wearing the same polish on every nail for the most sophisticated effect. Try Essie nail polish in Tiers of Joy (shown on our model) or Reign Check, a metallic teal and dark green mix ($9 each, essie.com). Or discover flecks of plum and gold in Sally Hansen Mega Strength in Small But Mighty ($6, drugstores).…

COZY GOOD NIGHTS I have a distinct childhood memory of my parents coming home after a night out and kissing me on my forehead. The smell of that—laughter, dancing, a hint of musk, booze, and tobacco—gives me so much comfort and the feeling of pure happiness. —Josie Maran, founder of Josie Maran Cosmetics (@josiemarancosmetics) TO GET THIS VIBE, SPRITZ Maison Margiela Replica Jazz Club ($126, sephora.com). Carolina Herrera Good Girl Légère Eau de Parfum ($117, macys.com). P. F. Candle Co. Fine Fragrance No. 4: Teakwood & Tobacco ($48, pfcandleco.com). FARAWAY LANDS Japan is a special place to me, and I have so many lovely memories of it. Even in big cities like Tokyo, they practice a concept called nature architecture, marrying the natural and human environments. It creates this beautiful…

Folds up to fit anywhere! “A bold poppy-colored look adds the energy I need to pump myself up before a workout.”—Colleen Conlon (@colleenconlonfit), Athleta ambassador and creator of FIERCE fitness…

I spent my life working in fine dining, catering to a very select clientele. But what I really wanted to do was feed those who need it most: low-income schoolkids. That’s why three years ago I founded Brigaid (@brigaid), a company with the mission to change the way students eat. We recruit professional chefs to lead school kitchens and create lunches that taste good and are good for you. It’s a tough task: You’re trying to get kids to try new, healthier things, but if you go too far, you’ll lose them. When we started, a lot of the food was what we thought we should be cooking. But the kids were quick to give us feedback when they didn’t like it! Now our menus are based on things we…

At the outer tips of each chromosome in every cell of your body lie the protein caps called telomeres, which protect your genes from damage. You’ll want to make it your exercise mission to keep these telomeres long and strong. After all, healthier DNA means a healthier you. And the good news is that you can not only maintain your telomeres’ vibrancy but even rebuild them from being worn down (by stress, lack of sleep, and such)—and actually give them periodic checkups. CARDIO WINS THIS ONE Ever since exercise was found to build up telomeres—by stimulating the body’s production of the enzyme telomerase—the question has been about the most effective workout route. A new study from the University Clinic of the Saarland in Germany found that a single 45-minute…

CBD: YOU’VE HEARD of it, but what is it? Derived from cannabis, the compound affects the body’s endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in pain sensation and stress response, says Naomi Feuer, M.D., a neurologist in New York City. But unlike with its cousin THC, you get the perks without the high. The compound’s legal status is complex. CBD from marijuana is illegal under federal law. “But CBD derived from hemp is legal under federal and most state laws,” says Rod Kight, a lawyer who focuses on the cannabis industry. Federal legislation was just enacted that loosens restrictions on hemp products like CBD. Already, though, it’s cropping up in everything: health tinctures, drinks, snacks, cosmetics, even pet food. We asked the top experts whether CBD is really as effective…

“I would never have bought this bold orange color, but I love it. I wore it to a bar one night, and it made me feel confident and cool. I will absolutely do it again.”—Grace Hennigan (@yogabunnynyc) “This is very crazy. I have never worn this color and would never do it again. But I have to admit, when I saw this photo I thought, Wait, this is kind of good. And the experience has made an impact. “I mean, I am wearing blue lipstick and heels at a photo shoot in New York City. Who am I? And what can I achieve next?”—Hajra Tariq (@hajra_aaa) “My lipstick is totally making my day. I’m outgoing, and I talk a lot, so I love to wear bright colors and outrageous…

I’m the Goldilocks of lipsticks. Or I was one recent afternoon. I was inspired by the story on page 98, “The Beauty Dare.” In it, we asked 27 influential women and men to try one of three lipsticks for a day, all shades that were either outside their comfort zone or simply something they’d never worn before, and report back. The words they used to describe the experience? “Empowered,” “flattered,” and “confident.” I wanted to try the experiment myself. The three options (see details, below) were a periwinkle blue, a bright tangerine, and a deep purple. First up was the blue. I was a teenager in the Goth-y ’80s, so this would be my second tour of duty with this somewhat tricky hue. And tricky it was. One Shape…

“Makeup helps us express ourselves,” says celebrity makeup artist Rachel Goodwin, whose Instagram feed (@rachelgoodwinmakeup) inspires women to do just that. “I’m not into showing you how to look perfect. To me, that’s boring and can chip away at our self-esteem. Instead, I want to help you create personas that empower you. ”Of course, after inspiration strikes (and the images on these pages will help that happen), you’ll want your work to stay put. “The latest makeup is made for that,” Goodwin says. “It’s blendable, buildable, and yet so long-lasting. You simply can’t screw up.” Get after it. Sunset Eyes Vibrant pink eyeliner with an orange-red eye shadow is an uncommon pairing that works “because it’s a mix of cool and warm tones,” makeup artist Vincent Oquendo says. “They complement…

On days when I don’t wash my hair, I spritz Tresemmé Between Washes Style Refresh All-in-1 Spray ($5, target.com) all over—it doesn’t build up—then use a blow-dryer to revive my volume and shine. Next, I grab my GHD Platinum+ Styler ($249, ghdhair.com); its rounded edges let me create curls, waves, or sleek strands. A few gray hairs have popped up around my face, so I cover those with Tresemmé Root Touch-Up Spray ($8, target.com), then pin my hair to the side with my new Kitsch X Justine Marjan Classic Rhinestone Bobby Pins ($49, mykitsch.com). Since I installed a Raindrops Luxe filter and showerhead ($120, raindrops901.com), I don’t have to dye my hair as often. It protects strands from hue-stripping chlorine, bacteria, and algae. Another move to keep color brass-free:…

Stylish Slip-Ons Take a break from clunky rain boots, and slip into the natural-rubber Hunter Backless penny loafers ($135, hunterboots.com) for a more polished splash-proof option. The Modern Trench Weather thunderstorms in this chic Hunter Original Pleated Vinyl coat ($270, hunterboots.com), which is versatile enough for work or play.

Wrestling—yes, wrestling—is one of Rachel Brosnahan’s many talents. “I was on my high school team,” the 28-year-old actor says. “I’d always been curious about it. Then in my freshman year, when I didn’t get a part in the musical Beauty and the Beast, I was devastated, and wrestling was there for me. I loved it! I won some matches; I lost some. I remember wrestling someone who was 119 pounds (I was 112) and getting pummeled. But I enjoyed how difficult the training was and watching my body change because of the work I was putting in.” Rachel relishes anything that pushes her out of her comfort zone. Take her role as Midge Maisel, a 1950s housewife who becomes a stand-up comic after her husband announces he’s leaving her…

Wellness has a new expanded definition. It has moved beyond the body and now refers to holistic practices that help you feel good, stress less, and connect to others, says Beth McGroarty, the VP of research for the Global Wellness Institute. “That’s having a hugely positive effect on our health,” she says. “Look, we know what makes a healthy life: eating well, moving often, sleeping enough, and avoiding stress. But the medical community never found a way to make these things sexy. Wellness did.” Thus, happy hour is preceded by a Spinning class. A vacation, once devoted to sightseeing, is now an opportunity to optimize your body and mind. Being in bed by 9 p.m. with a detox tea has become worthier of an Instagram brag than a big…

Most of the time, hunger has an obvious cause, like not eating enough or choosing meals that don’t contain the right amount of nutrients (carbs, protein, and fat), says D. Enette Larson-Meyer, Ph.D., a professor of human nutrition and the director of the Nutrition and Exercise Laboratory at the University of Wyoming. Other times, though, it’s mysterious. Your appetite appears to defy explanation, and nothing you eat seems to tamp it down. But those hunger pangs have a cause too. Read on to find out what’s behind them and how to fuel up to feel comfortably full. Salt Is Stoking Your Appetite Yes, it makes you thirsty in the short term. But over time, a high intake of salt actually causes you to drink less but eat more, recent…

How do I ensure I’m really getting the intensity of “as many reps as possible,” where the good benefits of HIIT are?—@kris_kris714 via Instagram First, kudos to you for taking ownership to make your results happen. Gold star, girl! The tricky thing is that everything from what you eat to your mental stress can affect your physical energy, and that will dictate what your “possible” is in the weight room. A great way to work through this energy flux is to use a drop-set system. This means you start with challenging weights that you feel you can complete the reps with, while having another set of slightly lighter weights on standby. If you hit that point at which you can’t finish a set, you simply complete the remaining reps…

WOMEN RUN THE WORLD Everything we seek lies on the other side of fear.” It’s a favorite mantra of Wasfia Nazreen (@wasfianazreen), a world-class mountaineer and a champion for women’s equality. She should know. If you take the highest peak from each of the seven continents, you have the pantheon known as the Seven Summits. Nazreen, 36, has conquered them all—one of maybe 416 people to do so. “I came back from the summit of Everest feeling almost reincarnated,” says Nazreen, who splits her time between California and Bangladesh. “This gave me fresh strength and perspective for activism.” Nazreen grew up in Bangladesh, but a college program to study in Tibet first brought her to the Himalayas and the world of mountaineering. “Years later, when I was on my…
