Ditch winter's heavy finish foundations for Chanel's light-as-air version ($45; chanel.com). We love how it glides on like a tinted moisturizer, but imparts an airbrushed effect.

Rock salon-like layers by working Living Proof's Prime ($20; sephora.com) into damp strands to create a long-lasting hold, then dry your hair using Click N Curl's innovative brushes ($46; click-n-curl.com). Once you press the button to detatch the brush head, clip it into place to set, and you'll be left with bouncy layers that will have everyone wondering "How does she do it?"
