Beauty / Biggest Ideas of 2017
2 Bangs , Baby
I have yet to venture into bangs territory — at least in my adult life . But with celebs like Selena Gomez and Georgia May Jagger making the chop ( and looking this good ), I ’ m calling my stylist this very moment . These are a few of the styles I ’ m considering . — J . M .
SIDESWEPT The gateway bang ; keep them superlong like Gomez ’ s . |
LONG & BLUNT Do like Jennifer Hudson and taper the sides for drama . |
SHORT & BLUNT Pair mini bangs with long waves , as at the Monse show . |
LAYERED Go for a piecey rock ’ n ’ roll vibe like Jagger ’ s . |
CHOPPY Cut ’ em straight across , as at Zero + Maria Cornejo . |
Do Your SKIN
New lightweight matte finishing powders blend right in and cut down shine — without masking . Try Nyx # nofilter Finishing Powder ($ 12 , nyx cosmetics . com ), which comes in 15 shades . Focus on the T-zone and avoid the sides of your face to prevent flat-looking skin .

The New
Matte
Sure , you can do the full-face matte makeup that ’ s all over social media . But let ’ s be real : Matte everything can be a little harsh in daylight . My approach is to focus on a single feature at a time . — Katheryn Erickson , @ kateeerickson

Or Your EYES
I ’ m feeling the nineties all-matte-lids thing . My product of choice is the palette from Urban Decay , above , which contains 12 neutral matte hues ranging from creamy vanilla to pastel mauve to rich chocolate brown .
Urban Decay Naked Ultimate Basics palette for eyes ($ 54 , sephora . com )
Or Your LIPS
Liquid matte lipsticks need no introduction , but this is new : powder lip color . Apply a small amount of CLE Cosmetics Melting Lip Powder ($ 20 , clecosmetics . com ) on top of lip balm . It transforms into a creamy texture for a lightly stained effect . Gorgeous !

Hair for
Days
I first started noticing Joni Mitchell – length strands on the streets ; then more Rapunzel looks showed up at Proenza Schouler ’ s and Prada ’ s spring shows . All of this made me regret cutting my own very long hair last spring . Now I want it back ! Here ’ s my plan . A growth booster : specifically , Nutrafol , which has vitamin E and antiinflammatories to help grow thicker , healthier hair ( nutrafol . com ) Masks : Every other wash , I use the Shu Uemura mask , below , instead of conditioner to keep ends less prone to breakage . Dry dustings : That ’ s hairdresser lingo for lightly trimming only the frayed ends ; I go every six weeks . — K . E .
