utyQ+A
Q
How do I prevent
my boots
from smudging my
fresh winter pedi?
A
If you cant zap a
long-lasting pimple,
see your derm to
rule out something
suspicious.
I've had the same zit
foramonth.WTF?
If you picked at it, you likely
pushed the bacteria deep into
the pore."In that case, it can
take weeks for the contents to
surface and for the pimple to
heal,"says NYC derm Joshua
Zeichner. Apply a 2 percent
salicylic acid gel (such as
Clean & Clear Advantage
Acne Spot Treatment, $6.49)
in the a.m., then a 3 to 5 percent benzoyl peroxide (we
like DDF Benzoyl Peroxide Gel
5%, $28) at night;the acid
opens the clog so the B.R can
get in and kill the bacteria.
Accidents happen
when you bolt before
you're fully dry—a process
that takes about half an hour.
To speed it up, have your
nail tech swipe on a quickdry top coat,which"hardens
the lacquer within 10 minutes," says Donna Perillo,
owner of Sweet Lily Natural
Nail Spa.Then sit under the
dryer. Perillo also suggests
walking out of the salon in
boots lined with sheepskin.
The soft material doesn't
press against your toes, preventing post-polish dents.
Q
A
What's a quick
skin regimen I can
do before bed?
Remove your eye
makeup,then swap
your cleanser, exfoliator,and
toner for a glycolic acid-rich
wipe (PeterThomas Roth's
Max Complexion Correction
Pads, $36,are great)."The
ingredient dissolves dead
skin,dirt,oil,and
makeup,"says NYC
derm Debra Jaliman. Finish with
a serum light
enough to use
around the eye
area, like Olay's
shown here.
Olay Regenerist
Night Resurfacing
Elixir, $26

What's a cute style I
can wear while
growing them out?
', If they graze
. your brows,
they're long enough
to incorporate into
the rest of your style.
Just center-part them,
then blow-dry each
side outward with a
round brush. If they're
shorter, twist them,
says L.A. celeb stylist
Cervando Maldonado.
Part hair above
one temple, then
twirl bangs along
your hairline until you
reach your ear.
Repeat on the other
side, and secure
ends with bobby pins.
Q
Is there an eyeshadow color
that will disguise my
"morning after" eyes?
A
Swipe your lids with
a silver-flecked
beige (if you're fair) or gold
(if you're medium or dark)
coior.'These yellow-based
shades cancel out
redness—a side effect
of drinking and not getting
enough sleep—while
the cool-tone shimmer
brightens up the area,"says
Adriana Aude,a Chicago
makeup artist. Also helpful:
Limit mascara to your
upper lashes only,as
lower-lash smudges will
play up your dark circles.
