Looking for a shortcut? Head to Hollywood! You’ll be in good company now that celebrities like Elisha Cuthbert have traded in their long locks for short, pixie-like styles.

“It’s a very fresh, fashiony look,” says celebrity stylist Mara Roszak.

Roszak recommends this look for women with smooth, slightly wavy hair.

Roszak's last tip for pulling off this daring do: “You have to be bold.”

If you like YSL’s famous Touche Eclat highlighter, you’ll love its latest offering: a nail brush that delivers a sheer, sparkling one-coat manicure in less than a minute. “The formula is much thinner than regular polish, so it goes on easily and dries in 10 seconds,” says N.Y.C. manicurist Jin Soon Choi. “It’s great for a natural look—it’s like a lip gloss for your nails.”

It’s a jungle out there—and now you can have the cosmetics to match. Inspired by this season’s animal-print fashions, companies like Bourjois, Physicians Formula and Too Faced are introducing makeup covered in zebra stripes and leopard prints. And why not? “Makeup has become a fashion accessory,” says Too Faced creator Jerrod Blandino. “Women want products that look as cool coming out of their bags as they do on their face.”
