Summer has come and gone, as have all those neon nail lacquers. Now we're switching up our manis with these fall nail trends - some obvious, like deep reds, and others not so much, like pearly white. (We've always thought wearing white after Labor Day was a fashion faux-pas that just had to be broken.)

Rich jewel tones were all over the fall runways, such as at Karen Walker's show where models nails were polished with CND Midnight Sapphire ($9, Cnd.com). Other jewel tones we're loving: Estée Lauder Black Turquoise ($20, Saksfifthavenue.com), MAC Gadabout Girl ($16, Maccosmetics.com), and Essie Stylenomics ($8, Essie.com).

Although light lacquers are typically associated with spring, pale nudes and even white are getting some play this fall. Use these simple, chic colors to accompany fall's bolder trends, such as a dark lip or cat-eye. Shades we recommend: OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls ($7.25, opi.com

I was already obsessing over Elizabeth Olsen's loose, ever-so-slightly wavy hair when I saw the Burberry Prorsum runway look that debuted at London Fashion Week yesterday. The texture here is so natural and relaxed, and I love that it's a little bit piece-y but soft and shiny, too. I've seen hairstylists accomplish this look a couple different ways: one, by wrapping hair very loosely around a wide-barrel curling iron, heating it for just a second to create a bend; and two, by blowing it out and twisting the ends around a skinny round brush.

2012 NCLR ALMA Awards - Arrivals

Christina Aguilera showed up to the 2012 NCLR ALMA Awards with a bit of a makeup malfunction. In the glare of the bright lights and photographers' flashes, The Voice judge's concealer transformed from camouflage to clown makeup. Don't let her beauty disaster be in vain; learn from her makeup mistakes with these concealer tips:

Lea Michele Is The New Face Of L'Oréal

1. Don't use concealer with talc in it.
Talc is the pesky ingredient that tends to show up in photos. When going to an event where pictures will be taken (and in this Facebook-obsessed culture, when aren't photos being taken?), try a concealer like Physician's Formula Mineral Wear™ Talc-Free Mineral Cream Concealer ($7.65, Physicansformula.com). Their formula will keep imperfections covered and keep you from looking like Casper.

2. Stay away from brightening/luminizing products.
We all love a good, healthy glow, but makeup that promises to brighten often leads to white half-moons under your eyes in

10 Ways To Instantly Look Sexy

Wendy Rodewald, Senior Editor
Just like you can stumble upon a brilliant fall wardrobe addition at a store like Zara or H&M (my favorite three-quarter sleeve coat is one lucky find!), you can uncover total gems in the beauty aisle-as long as you know where to look. Here are a few of my recent scores.

1. Garnier Fructis Style Curl Calm Down Anti-Frizz Cream ($4.29, Garnierusa.com)
My curly-wavy hair naturally calms down once summer's humidity dries up, but this cream with the consistency of a lightweight leave-in conditioner gives my strands much-needed moisture. Before blow drying with a diffuser, I finger-comb a

Head scarves are quite possibly the most versatile accessory. They can be worn tied at the top, Rosie the Riveter style, or fully covering the head. The latest trend to hit the runway and red carpet is turban-like head scarves.

Models donned the look at the Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring/Summer 2013 show. Redken Creative Consultant Guido shares how to get the same style at home:

Step 1: Start with damp hair and spray Guts 10 Volume Spray Foam ($16, Redken.com) throughout. This will give it some texture and ensure that when it's pinned up, it will stay.

Step 2: Rough dry hair while brushing straight back with a boar-bristle brush.

Step 3: Wrap fabric headband around head tying at the nape of the neck.

Step 4: Gather hair into a loose ponytail and secure with an elastic four inches from the ends of the hair.

Step 5: Fold the loose ponytail up into a messy chignon and pin with open fasteners.

Step 6: Mist

We saw French twists all over the Fall 2012 runways, and we can't wait to test out new ways to rock the trend this season. One way to update the updo? Add major texture, like Rachel McAdams did at the Toronto International Film Festival. Here's how celebrity hairstylist Thomas Dunkin for Sebastian Professional created the look.

Step 1: Apply Sebastian Professional Stylixir ($18, Sebastianprofessional.com) to the roots and length of damp hair. Then blow-dry strands straight without a part.

Step 2: Emulsify Sebastian Professional Microweb Fiber ($19.95, Sebastianprofessional.com) into palms and apply to the length of hair for added texture while concentrating on the hair at the top of the head.

Step 3: Twist the hair into a French pleat by tucking strands tightly. Secure with bobby pins.

Step 4: Spray the hair with a light hold hair spray, such as Paul Mitchell Light Hold Style Finishing Spray

Summer may be (nearly) gone, but it's determined not to be forgotten. Like the sand at the bottom of your bag or the Popsicle stain on your white jeans, the season's skin woes just won't take a hike. You know the ones - we're talking dark spots, uneven tone and the overall dullness that comes as a side effect of a sun-kissed complexion. Well, now's the time to leave it all behind and prep for fall. Here's how to get your skin back on track and reveal the glow beneath all the gunk.

Start From The Inside
To get yourself on the right track, look at what you're eating. Rebecca Booth, M.D., hormonal wellness expert and co-founder of VENeffect Anti-Aging Skin Care recommends minimizing the white sugars and starches in your diet - they can cause blemishes and ruddiness - and instead, opting for whole grains. "Foods high in phytoestrogens, such as soybeans, nuts, chickpeas, legumes and lentils also improve collagen health, which help keep our skin wrinkle-free and luminous by
