MOVE OVER, BODY LOTION. TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL EGG MOUSSE BODY OIL ($25, SEPHORA. COM) SQUIRTS OUT LIKE MERINGUE (WHEE!) AND IS QUICKLY ABSORBED, SO YOU DON’T FEEL LIKE A SLIP AND SLIDE. EGG-YOLK EXTRACT INCREASES CELL TURNOVER, RESULTING IN SOFTER SKIN.
Known for effective skin care, StriVectin applied its anti-aging technology to hair. StriVectin Hair Max Volume Shampoo and Conditioner ($23 each, strivectin. com) deliver shine, body, and fullness— factors that fade with time—to fine hair.
When concealer alone isn’t cutting it, layer a Smashbox Color Correcting Stick ($23 each, smashbox.com) underneath to cancel redness (use green), sallow spots (lavender), bluish veins (peach), or dark under-eye circles (orange).

A clean sheet
CoverGirl Plumpify Mascara by BlastPro ($12 at drugstores) has the company’s biggest brush to date, featuring conical bristles and fins that lift and plump even the puniest hairs. The result: falsie-ish fringe minus the fuss.
For those who say wearing foundation feels like a mask, consider Giorgio Armani Maestro Glow ($64, armanibeauty.com). Made without water or powder, it disappears onto skin, contains antioxidants, and deposits a gleam. In nine shades.
A time-saver for flatiron fanatics, Hot Tools 1-inch Salon Flat Iron Extra Long Plates ($60, ulta. com) allows wider sections of hair to be styled more quickly. Infrared heat keeps hair from feeling fried.
A new medicine-cabinet must: CeraVe Healing Ointment ($22 for 12 ounces, at drugstores) soothes cracked skin, dry feet, cuts and scrapes, and eczema with petrolatum, ceramides, and hyaluronic acid (no lanolin, preservatives, or dye).
e.l.f. Studio Mattifying Blotting Papers ($5 for 25, elfcosmetics.com) come in a mirrored compact with a self-adhesive pouf that picks up each sheet so your fingers stay off your face. Dab your T-zone to remove oil and deposit a veil of powder.

BEAUTY TIP OF THE MONTH: Revive dry, cakey under-eyes by putting a drop of face oil onto a sponge and dabbing it over your concealer—almost as good as new.
