The burning question arose again recently-hardly for the first time: Has Hillary Clinton undergone a face-lift?

This time it was a voice in the crowd at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) who voiced the opinion that she should. Only a few weeks earlier, Fox News speculated that she'd had one already, with incriminating before and (allegedly) after photos.

While I appreciate Paul Begala's support of Clinton with his suggestion that only Republican socialites work on their faces, I would have preferred him to remind the crowd that the law has not yet been written that a woman's concern for her appearance is now a crime.

Like Hillary Clinton, I came of age during an era of highly vocal feminism, and, like her, was the beneficiary of some of its advances. I was seventeen when I entered Yale University, in its third class of women-where I found myself, for my scholarship job, bussing the dining tables of students at the Yale Law School. I don't

Courtesy of Hanneli MustapartaHanneli Mustaparta is thinking spring. "I'm looking for the perfect high-waisted skirt right now!" says the street-style photographer and model enthusiastically. "It has to be straight but not too tight-and not too 80s either."

Once she finds it, she plans on wearing it with her new baby blue Acne leather jacket-and, of course, the smooth, bare, supernaturally great legs that are her signature. As it turns out, Mustaparta has a trick for getting her long limbs warm-weather-ready fast, "no matter how white and pale they are after winter."

First, she says, "if my skin is dry, I use a simple body lotion that's a little bit greasy, like Lubriderm, all over my legs and wait for ten minutes." Once it absorbs, she reaches for her favorite gloProfessional Pressed Base powder, dusting it all over her legs with a fluffy brush. "It's perfect because it's not shiny and it's not a cream, so it doesn't rub onto clothes or smudge once it's

In the season finale of Girls, Lena Dunham's Hannah makes a desperate FaceTime call to her former paramour, Adam. She has just attempted (and failed) to cut her hair into a Carey Mulligan-esque crop and is teetering on the brink of a quarter-life crisis, so she reaches out to him via the now ubiquitous iPhone feature.

Adam can see that she's unraveling-and, in a bold show of hipster chivalry, runs bare-chested through the streets of Brooklyn with phone in hand to rescue her, all the while reassuring her face-to-face of his arrival.

This particular story has a happy ending-but let's be honest. During less dramatic moments, FaceTime and Skype aren't likely to do you any romantic favors: "These applications offer an instant way to connect, but the screen itself casts a green tone over you and creates lines across the face," says editorial hairstylist Tim Rogers of the aesthetically challenging restrictions of an iPad or laptop.

In this week's beauty tutorial, makeup artist Alice Lane demonstrates how to draw the perfect wing of inky black eyeliner. Shop her favorite gel formulas, angled brushes, and cleanup tools in our slideshow below.

March. It's what you do down the sidewalk during the third month of the year wearing the same old boots you couldn't wait to wear back in October, lifting your head against the wind only to gaze ruefully at the sandals and sling-backs filling up the sunny store windows. In one day it will officially be spring, but the weather doesn't care about labels. Wintry March marches on, and you still have to wear a hat. But during this awkward in-between season, let's not wallow in self-pity. Sure, it's been more than a year since we first lusted after the winter coats we are still wearing. And true, we're conditioned to feel like clothing has a shelf-life shorter than milk, but it's possible to get excited while still having to wear those bulkier, last season pieces that keep the elements at bay. To prove it, Vogue chose ten spring runway favorites that you can wear right now. All you have to do is get creative-and isn't that the whole reason you're excited for spring

When Justin Timberlake returned to the music scene this month after a nearly seven-year hiatus, he brought with him not only a more sophisticated sound but also a style to match it. Gone are the beige leather jackets and baggy pants of his *NSYNC days. Bringing sexy back (or fedoras for that matter) doesn't seem to rank high on his agenda either. Rather, the 32-year-old newlywed seems to have found his sartorial footing and, with it, a newfound interest in designer fashion (he wore Tom Ford, Jessica Biel a Giambattista Valli Haute Couture dress to their wedding). To wit, the single "Suit & Tie" off his new album, The 20/20 Experience, which dropped last night on iTunes, is a genre-hopping, seventies funk-riffing ode to black-tie glamour that name checks Ford and Alexander Wang. Performing the song on Saturday Night Live last weekend with collaborator, Jay-Z, Timberlake, clad in a Ford suit and Christian Louboutin footwear, oozed urbane charisma. We can't wait to see

"I believe our world would be a better place if half our companies and half our countries were run by women," Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg says in her new book Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead. But how do we get there? Sandberg acknowledges that there are gender biases to surmount in the workplace and across society, but to begin to reach the goals set a half century ago by the women's lib movement, we have to do work within. Lean In focuses on the moments of self-doubt women experience at work: when we assume a passive position because we believe a man will automatically get the promotion we want, when we stop reaching for higher titles in anticipation of one day having children, or when we choose to sit on the sidelines rather than around the conference table. At these times, Sandberg urges women to lean in instead of slinking back and to have confidence in our talents and value. Of course, not everyone aspires to be a CEO or to run for office. And

They may spend their days playing dress up in the industry's most beautiful clothes, but models endure wear and tear on their skin during Fashion Week that is anything but glamorous. In the makeup chair, they're dabbed, dipped, and smeared with product, only to be stripped clean and done all over again at the next show. "You might have makeup put on and taken off seven times a day," says Karlie Kloss, perched backstage at Carolina Herrera. Like many of her peers, she has developed a survival strategy that revolves largely around cleansing, calming, and hydrating her sensitive skin. Here, six of our favorite backstage faces share their guide to complexion perfection-along with a few of the all-around beauty products they won't leave home without.
