GET THE LOOK: Matrix hairstylist Mark Townsend just gave Reese Witherspoon a top crop. Her swingy new do prevents long hair from raising the heat level in summer months. And it also adds more movement to her flaxen mane.
INSIDER TRICK: If you have a round or square face shape, ask your stylist to cut a few long layers around the face to create a thinning effect.

GET THE LOOK: Want to bat a thousand like Kerry Washington? A lash curler can get you only so far. Attach small clusters of fake lashes along the outer half of each top lashline. A full band of lashes are best left to on-stage performers.
INSIDER TRICK: To keep your faux flutters a secret, be sure to use a gray lash glue (conventional adhesive dries looking white).

GET THE LOOK: We rarely shy away from words like "rich" and "gold," so hearing them applied to this season's hottest hair trend was music to our ears. "Rich, golden buttery hues add brightness and warmth to your face. They are much less severe than whitish blond," says celebrity beauty pro Brett Freedman.
INSIDER TRICK: Sunlight can distort your hair color, yielding an unflattering shade. Keep your tone bright by rinsing with a color-depositing shampoo every week.

GET THE LOOK: Imagine mixing the rich hue of your everyday lipstick with the moisturizing qualities of a lip balm. Dry, cakey lipsticks of the past made pouts look anything but kissable. But the latest crop of conditioning lipsticks glide on smooth and leave your lips buttery soft like Michelle Williams's.
INSIDER TRICK: To make creamy lipstick look fresh and modern (a little less granny), dab a matching gloss over the middle of the upper and lower lips.

GET THE LOOK: "Using a pale highlighter along the entire base of the brow gives you an instant brow lift. It really opens and brightens the eyes," says celebrity makeup artist Amy Nadine, who works with stars like Lauren Conrad.
INSIDER TRICK: Like Molly Sims, use a pale pink or beige shade instead of white, which can look chalky, advises Nadine. Drag the pencil under each brow and lightly blend with a finger.

INSIDER TRICK : To get a high-shine pucker like Vanessa Williams, apply a coat of shiny clear gloss over your regular formula.

GET THE LOOK : Heavy bleach may get ketchup out of our laundry whites, but harsh peroxides can wreak havoc on our other whites: tooth enamel. In an age when whitening products are everywhere, an over-bleached grin can easily become damaged, dull and lackluster.
INSIDER TRICK : Protect the naturally lustrous dentin of your tooth enamel: Look for a whitening formula that's gentle on teeth and contains ingredients to restore glossiness.
