    steps to a more gorgeous you
    We all want to look naturally beautiful, but effortlessly amazing requires, well, a little effort. That’s where this beauty blueprint comes in. Dreaming of smooth skin from head to toe, an ultra-shiny mane, chic nude nails? Start here—and be ready to collect the compliments in the months to come.

    1. Make Skin Flawless

    It’s the holy grail: a complexion so good, you can skip the foundation. Address your reasons for covering up, and you’ll be barefaced in no time.

    2. Treat Your Body
    steps to a more gorgeous you
    As these innovative products show, beauty doesn’t end at your face.
    It used to be that if you wanted to use advanced skin-care ingredients on your body, you’d have to dip into your face cream. Not anymore. Lancer The Method: Body Nourish contains a high concentration of glycolic acid to smooth skin, Swiss brand Neocutis Bio-Body uses skin-rejuvenating growth factors and ESPA’s lightweight TriSerum relies on omega fatty acids to soften skin. Jergens BB Protect gives the illusion of perfection with light-reflecting particles, plus it has SPF to prevent further damage.
     
    3. Get Sleek Strands
    steps to a more gorgeous you
    Your DIY blow-dry just got faster, easier and even shinier.
    Thank the blow-dry-bar boom for the latest crop of hair products, designed to help you achieve salon-worthy results while protecting hair from heat-related damage. The silicones in Kenra Platinum Blow-Dry Shampoo and Conditioner ($24 each) evaporate during styling to cut down on drying time and increase luminosity, while Kérastase Keratine Thermique ($43) smooths out frizz with ceramides. Bumble and Bumble All-Style Blow Dry ($30) contains oil-absorbing powders, so it won’t weigh down fine hair­. At Dior’s Resort 2015 show, Guido Palau, a creative consultant for Redken, spritzed models’ hair before styling with the brand’s Pillow Proof Blow Dry Express Primer spray ($22), which coats locks to prevent breakage.
     
     
    4. Try the New Nudes
    steps to a more gorgeous you
    Amid all the statement nails, a nude mani is a fresh alternative. The key to keeping pale hues modern is layering for custom results—a technique seen backstage at several spring 2015 shows. Manicurist Jin Soon Choi used creamy beige over baby pink at Derek Lam, while at Alexander Wang, manicurist Michelle Saunders swiped Essie Ridge Filling Base Coat on top of a sheer tan shade. The best part? You won’t see your exact hue on anyone else.
