1. Don a Flappy Hat

They may be rivals for the lead role in The Hunger Games, but Hailee Steinfeld and Jennifer Lawrence looked pretty chummy at the Miu Miu show in Paris today. We love Hailee's leopard clutch and sophisticated shoes, while Jennifer shines in the same color she wore at the Oscars: tomato red.

#1: Bright Lips
Pair a poppy-colored pout in orange, pink, or red with minimal face and eye makeup. To prevent fading, first line and fill your lips with a nude pencil. For a less intense jolt of color, try a sheer gloss.

TRIED AND TESTED: THE TOP AT-HOME TOOLS FOR EVERY AGE.

20s COMBAT ACNE:If the topical acne products that worked for you as a teenager are no longer doing the trick, a nightly five-minute dose of blue-light therapy is a dependable way to keep breakouts at bay. "It's the best-known light therapy for acne treatment," says Howard Sobel, a cosmetic dermatologist and director of the New York Institute of Aesthetic Dermatology and Laser Surgery. The TRIA Skin Clarifying System ($225) consists of a salicylic and glycolic cleanser, a blue-light device, and a rejuvenating serum and works to "shrink sebaceous glands and break down the bacteria that cause acne and inflammation in the first place," explains Sobel.

By Harper s Bazaar | Fashion – Fri, Mar 4, 2011 8:31 PM ESTM

At Alexander Wang's fall show, hairstylist Guido raved about Sultra's curling iron to create "undone movement and texture." Since we've been obsessed with Sultra's flat iron for a while now, we decided to give their acclaimed curling tool a whirl. Instead of clamping your hair and curling it, this iron is a simple rod. Just wrap loose sections around it, and you'll wind up with crease-free naturally tousled waves. Plus, the iron works in half of the time of other styling tools (yes, it's true) thanks to constant and evenly distributed 360-degree heat. We tried it out on our thick locks this morning and were fully styled in just 10 minutes-and received a compliment.

Spring's 3 New Shapes & How to Wear Them
By Harper s Bazaar | Spring Fashion – Wed, Mar 2, 2011 9:17 PM ESTFor spring, designers ushered in nouveau silhouettes. From a mid-length hemline to louche, slouchy trousers, here's how to make them fab, not frumpy. By Anamaria Wilson

THE NEW LENGTH

It was at the Narciso Rodriguez show that a new silhouette began to emerge. Model of the moment Arizona Muse wafted down the runway in a perfect incarnation of the designer's soft-edged minimalism: a white dress. The hem, however, hovered a couple of inches above the ankle - a no-man's-land between midi and maxi. It looked intriguingly chic on the genetically gifted blonde, but for the rest of us, it left a question mark. But how to pull off these chic standouts? First, heels are a must, and ankle-strap versions were a designer favorite. And Sarah Easley, co-owner of haute New York shop Kirna Zabête, advises, "Avoid heavy layers on top, show some shoulder and arm, and wear heels."

Few things are as inevitable as gravity's toll on your skin. But Ultherapy, the new high-tech FDA-cleared treatment-no knives, no needles-claims to lift a sagging brow and make you look younger in less than an hour.
DEFYING GRAVITY: The idea that a wandlike device could glide over your forehead, tightening and raising it in about half an hour, sounds rather sci-fi. But that's essentially what Ultherapy does, using ultrasound heat to set collagen production into overdrive deep below the skin's surface. As it kicks in, the brow firms. As your doctor works, a form of ultrasound imaging lets her see where the treatment is needed below your skin. "It's the first time we can deliver energy at this depth and see exactly where we're delivering it," says Nashville dermatologist Michael Gold. "This really is a lunchtime lift without the surgery."
What's alluring about Ultherapy is that you see an immediate smoothing effect and, since the collagen continues to grow, results actually

Kate Middleton loves Issa, the London label designed by Daniella Helayel, so much that she wore a blue dress from the line for her official engagement photos. When Issa showed her fall collection in London this week, we spotted a couple of Kate-worthy pieces. The blue jersey dress reminds us of her engagement frock, and the rust-colored minidress at right would be cute for a casual outing. The look on the left is a little busy for our favorite princess-to-be, but she does have a documented love of quirky hats.
