Kat Von D: Makeup Guru • Sweet Floral Scent • Dry- Shampoo Paste

Our Perfect 10

What do you get when you cross fashion-obsessed beauty editors with nail polish? The Allure & Butter London Arm Candy Collection. Inspired by runways, streetstyle blogs, Pinterest, and our own photo albums from the ’70s, we created—and named—all ten colors. They include a rosy metallic nude (our new neutral), the brightest blue-violet that color labs can produce (our new bold), and a glitter-packed charcoal (our new crazy). We hope you think we nailed it. —PATRICIA TORTOLANI

BEAUTY SCHOOL: For one of our favorite nail-art looks using polishes from the collection, turn to page 155.

Stylist Veronika Heilbrunner’s boho Chloé dress (left) was a reference for our take on ’70s rust, It’s Vintage.

With a splash of orange and yellow, Statement Piece is bright and cheery but every bit as sophisticated as classic red.

To make a candy pink for all ages, we added a hint of lilac. The Sweet Spot is a nongirlie pastel.

It wasn’t easy replicating a violet as vibrant as the shade in nature. Violet’s Revenge is a bright blue-purple with a wet-looking finish.

Not too warm, not too cool—the darkchocolate shade Lust or Must works on all skin tones.

Army green is possibly the chicest neutral ever. Look closely: So Major has subtle gold shimmer.

THE SCOOP JERGENS WET SKIN MOISTURIZER

THE NEWS: Everyone knows (or at least everyone who reads Allure knows) that you should apply body lotion right out of the shower. But just try rubbing most lotions over wet skin; you get a gloppy film. This one sinks in to leave skin silky. HOW IT WORKS: Turn off the shower, immediately rub the milky formula all over, wait a few seconds, then pat dry. Unlike traditional lotions, this formula, which includes emulsifiers and a low level of surfactants, allows hydrating oils and water to easily combine and absorb into skin. Glycerin draws in additional moisture from the atmosphere. THE VERDICT: Until now, the only body moisturizers that could easily be applied to wet skin have contained waxes that needed to be rinsed off. After rinsing, though, there weren’t always enough hydrating ingredients left to keep skin soft all day. “This no-rinse formula locks in moisture and then creates a light film that keeps dryness at bay for much longer,” says cosmetic chemist Ni’Kita Wilson. We were skeptical but found the thin consistency made it easy to apply. “I hit my body in less than 30 seconds, and my skin was really soft afterward,” said one of our testers.
