beauty TOUCH BASE Need help findingthe right foundation shade? Check out Estée Lauder’s iMatch Digital ShadeFinder system (at morethan 1,100 counters, free of charge). Abeauty adviser presses a camera ontoyour skin in threeplaces, then the device determines your closest Estée Lauder shades across all theirfoundation products.

There’s an app for that

Estée Lauder Double Wear Nude Cushion Stick Radiant Makeup ($39.50, esteelauder.com) houses foundation and a sponge in one. Twist the base until makeup appears, dot it onto skin, then buff. In 17 shades. (Find yours by using the Digital Shade Finder; see left.)

Good takeaway

Instead of scrubbing off your waterproof makeup, how about gently dissolving it? Massage It Cosmetics Bye Bye Makeup 3-in-1 Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm ($38, itcosmetics.com) onto dry skin, then wipe off with a warm washcloth.

An apple a day…

…keeps the tangles away. Mist dpHUE Apple Cider Vinegar Leave-In Hair Therapy ($30, ulta. com) onto damp hair before styling. Argan and macadamia oils add softness, while the vinegar closes the cuticles so hair looks shiny.

Just sowe’re clear

L’Oréal Paris Pure-Clay Mask Exfoliate Refining Treatment Mask ($13 at drugstores) packs mineral clays that suck out grime. The result: Pores look less noticeable, and your T-zone is mattified. Smooth onto clean skin, and rinse after 10 minutes.

Silver fix

Now you see it, now you don’t. Everpro Gray Away Root Touch-Up Magnetic Powder ($10, ulta.com) hides roots and sticks to hair until you shampoo. Dab the sponge into the powder, then brush on regrowth. In three shades.

Crowning glory

Rehab strawlike strands by working R+Co High Dive Moisture + Shine Crème ($27, randco.com) through damp hair, then air-drying or blow-drying. Provitamin B5, sunflower-seed extract, and vitamin E hydrate to help erase damage.

Down to the nitty-gritty

Combat congested summer skin with Tarte Frxxxtion Stick Exfoliating Cleanser ($22, tarte.com). Rub the solid, travel-friendly gel onto wet skin to form a cool lather that’s laced with skin-smoothing algae microbeads.

FLIP IT OVER—THE REVERSE SIDE OF THE BRUSH HEAD IS A MIRROR.

RAINBOW BRIGHT

STRAIGHT OUT OF A FUNFETTI CAKE BOX, THE CHI KABLOOM BRUSH ($10, LOXABEAUTY.COM) HAS SQUIGGLE-SHAPED NYLON BRISTLES THAT HELP ADD LIFT AT YOUR CROWN. ONLY FIVE INCHES LONG, IT FITS (AND WILL NEVER GET LOST) IN YOUR BAG.

JUST PLAIN FUN.

Wrinkle release

The gold-standard wrinkle ingredient, retinol, now comes in the form of a face wipe: Use Skin+Pharmacy Advanced Anti-Aging Therapy Retinol Wipes ($20 for 20 wipes, cvs.com) before bed to lessen the look of fine lines over time.

Bikini blues

Ingrown hairs got you down? Prevent future bumps from forming by dabbing on a drop of Fur Oil ($39, furyou.com) daily after showering. The all-natural formula has grapeseed oil to soften hair and tea-tree oil to help clear pores. HOW TO…

SCORE A SMOOTH BIKINI LINE

STEP 1 Shave at the end of your shower—the softer your skin, the easier it will be to remove hair. Before reaching for your razor, gently exfoliate your bikini line. Doing so gets rid of dead skin cells that block the razor from getting close to the hair, and it teases out ingrowns. Use a washcloth and make small, circular motions.

STEP 2 Apply a thin layer of shaving cream. (Look for shea butter or coconut oil in the ingredients list.) Then, using a new razor blade (replace it after seven shaves), make one pass downward. (If you shave against the hair, you risk red bumps.)

STEP 3 Rinse, then pat dry. If you’re prone to ingrowns, hold a cold compress on the area for a few minutes to reduce redness, then apply an antiseptic serum (like Fur Oil; see left).
