Vinyl Lids Go subtle or sensational: Tap clear gloss (try Milk Makeup Face Gloss, $20, milkmakeup.com) on your eyelids, and they will reflect in the light for a fresh, glowy effect. Apply that gloss on top of a vibrant cream shadow, like NYX Professional Makeup Vivid Brights Crème Colour in Love Overdose ($10, nyxcosmetics.com), for way more attention, says makeup artist Jenny Patinkin. But know that gloss tends to crease and move. “Just resmear with your finger,” Patinkin says. “The look isn’t supposed to be precise.” Spotlit Corners A pop of brightness in the inner corners of the eyes truly perks up your whole face by getting rid of the natural shadow there, Patinkin says. Anyone, no matter her age, eye shape or color, or skin type, can and…

Julia Turshen believes vegetables have many lives. Take kale. She’ll turn it into a dinner salad one night, but she won’t stop there. Leftovers get folded into cooked rice, simmered into soup with chorizo and potatoes, or baked into a frittata loaded with herbs. “To transform dishes, I keep an arsenal of essentials in the pantry: nuts for extra texture and flavor, capers, chile flakes, garlic, good olive oil, and salt,” Turshen says. She stocks her fridge with lemons and leafy herbs to add brightness. “These simple ingredients let you turn your favorite winter vegetables into all sorts of creations,” she says. “Layer on a few special staples, like olives and cheese, and you’ve got even more options.” As for the produce itself, Turshen hits up the farmers markets…

The Fascia Network Fascia is like a full-body webbing: It keeps everything in place below the skin’s surface, wrapping your muscles, bones, organs, nerves, and blood vessels into an interconnected network of collagen and elastic fibers. Every step and squat—and every hour sedentary—affect your fascia, says Arkady Lipnitsky, a chiropractor at ReBalance NYC wellness center. “If your joints feel stiff when you get up after sitting for a long period, you can blame the fascia, which has temporarily lost its elastic properties and fluid resilience,” says exercise physiologist Sue Hitzmann, a founding member of the Fascia Research Society. “Move around, and the feeling goes away. That’s one big reason why movement is so essential.” When Things Get Kinky Over time (or because of an injury), fascia can tear, become…

What’s the point of looking good if you don’t feel good?” Amber Heard says. The actor, 32, is talking about food, including her favorites, Tex-Mex, chocolate, and red wine, and how much she loves to cook. (Her specialty? “Fried-chicken sandwiches, baby!”) “If you’re not going to enjoy life, there’s no point in eating a certain way and working out and doing all the things actors do to manipulate how we look—and how the world looks at us,” she says. Amber, who stars in Aquaman, which will be released in theaters December 21, has never looked better or felt stronger. And that’s not just because of the rigorous physical training she did for the role of Mera, an underwater warrior. After an acrimonious divorce from actor Johnny Depp almost two…

The Right Praise “Some women—and I am one—don’t desire to be younger. When women tell me, ‘You don’t look 66,’ I say thank you, but it doesn’t mean much to me. But if someone says, ‘You look so good, sophisticated, and elegant,’ that’s 100 percent a compliment.” Telling Her Story “When I was 42, after being a spokesmodel for Lancôme for years, my contract was not renewed. I wasn’t bitter, because everything at that time began to dwindle, including my magazine and film work. But now I’m with Lancôme again despite my age because they want to include all women in their advertising. At heart, I’m an artist and an entertainer, so I think it’s very positive to be part of the Lancôme story, because it’s a story of…

Two years ago, I decided that during December, it would be fun to post pictures of lights—holiday lights, candlelights, any light—to my Instagram account every day. Yes, they’re pretty and festive and an integral part of the season, but the real purpose was to stay in the moment and be uplifted by the visual experience. It was so much fun that I decided to do it again the next year, focusing instead on color. This time it took a slight detour, and I ended up “regramming” more than posting my own shots. And while the images didn’t necessarily have a holiday theme, the outcome was the same—I gained a sense of being in the moment and focusing on a specific intention. Which leads me to this year’s (apt) theme:…

your scalp is constantly trying to adjust to accommodate the artificial heat indoors and the cold outside, says Justine Marjan, a celeb hairstylist and a GHD brand ambassador. That yo-yoing can cause itchiness, dandruff, dried-out strands, and lots of static. Get a handle on the situations; otherwise they might quickly turn into more pressing dermatological issues, like dermatitis or folliculitis, says Lars Skjoth, the founder of and the head of research and development at Harklinikken. Luckily, there are quick fixes. Itchy, Dry Scalp In addition to extreme temperature changes, hormonal shifts and holiday travel and stress can contribute to a dry scalp. “It’s the result of dead skin cells constantly replacing themselves because your pH levels are off,” Marjan says. The solution? Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. Look for a conditioner…

This season can be incredibly romantic—or stressful. Shape Brain Trust member Rachel Sussman, a relationship therapist in New York City, shares her strategies for coming out on top. Why are the holidays so emotionally charged? SUSSMAN: You’re traveling, seeing family, buying presents, worrying about money. It’s exciting but also taxing. Once the festivities arrive, couples say they feel happier—all the anxiety culminates in a positive bonding experience. But the lead-up is stressful, and that can cause friction. What can couples do to tap into the happy vibes and avoid fighting? Ask each other, “What are your expectations of the holidays? What are your expectations of me? What are you looking forward to? What are you dreading?” Have some sort of code word that will remind your partner when tensions…

Infrared light—the kind with longer wavelengths than visible light—has taken over the saunas at many fitness studios, and now it’s also being used for actual classes, from Pilates (at Flex Studios in New York City) to sculpting (at POE studios in New Jersey) and indoor cycling (at infrared chain HotWorx). “Infrared panels heat muscles, not just the air,” says Regan Stokes, a VP at gym chain TruFusion, which offers infrared yoga, barre, boot camp, and Pilates. Possible benefits? “They warm deeper layers of tissue under the skin to increase all-important blood and oxygen flow to the muscles,” says Michele Olson, Ph.D., a Shape Brain Trust member. A great jump start in any class you do.…

it’s not surprising we’re all a little panicked given the brutality of last year’s flu virus, and studies predict this year’s vaccine will have 20 percent efficacy, research from Rice University found. (It’s still worth getting the shot, experts say.) Which is why you need a fortifying plan: These intriguing new findings will boost your immune system and help you stay well. Choose Cardio Exercise is the number-one thing you can do to keep healthy. People who exercise five or more times a week are 43 percent less likely to get sick than those who exercise once a week, a study in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found. Cardio may be especially beneficial, the study authors say: “During aerobic exercise, your immune cells move around more throughout the…

1 Ode to Open Road “Cycling was not a cool sport when I was growing up doing it with my family, sweating over the California mountains. But I fell in love with it. Every road has a different flow and rhythm, and after you get up that hill, you feel like a super-woman flying down the other side. Sometimes, as a pro cyclist, all I can think about is my screaming legs. But when the day calls for just pedaling at an easy pace, I fully take in the scenery and let my mind wander. On the open road, the key is to act as if you’re driving a car—stay in your bike lane or shoulder, and use turn signals.” —Alexis Ryan, 24, pro with Canyon/SRAM Racing team…
