Sephora Collecti...

Great news for butterfingers who love falsies. Sephora Collection Bulls Eye Lash Applicator makes the process practically bungle-proof. Clamp the device onto the center of the lashes, dip the base in glue, then place as close as possible to the roots of your real lashes. Give your lashes and the fakes a squeeze with a curler (or fingers) to seal the deal.

Sania Angled Mec...

Penciling in brows can be harder than it looks…as you know if you’ve ever made a mess of cartoonish hash marks. The Sania Angled Mechanical Brow Pencil has a slanted tip that is as wide as an average brow, so you can achieve realistic results in one pass. Use the spool brush at the opposite end to blend. In three shades.

Giorgio Armani F...

Even those who don’t like the feel of foundation will appreciate Giorgio Armani Fusion Makeup SPF 15. The ultra-lightweight emulsion of pigments and oils spreads easily with a fingertip, then dries a few seconds later to a powder finish (that’s not the least bit masklike). In 12 shades.

Because sagging doesn’t stop at the jawline: StriVectin-TL Tightening Body Cream can be used anywhere on the body to temporarily firm skin that has lost elasticity.

Roy Teeluck Concentré de Collagène Serum is like the hair equivalent of a facial filler: It infuses strands with collagen for youthful plumpness, which makes hair look fuller.

Ironically, shine enhancers can make hair duller over time, since most are formulated with silicone, which adds temporary radiance but also seals hair off from outside moisture. Glisten by David Evangelista Beauty cleverly contains meadowfoam and daikon-radish oils to add sheen and hydration.
