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.

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.
