Look Beautiful Instantly!

Fifteen fast beauty tips for a flawless complexion, shiny hair, kissable lips, and a whole lot more.

1.Get Healthy, Glowing Skin

As skin starts to lose elasticity and sag, shadows form. Look more luminous by applying white eye shadow to four key points: the inner corners of the eyes, the brow bones, the temples and above the peaks of your upper lip. Light skin tones look best with a white shadow that has cool blue undertones; darker complexions need a complementary golden or off-white version.

2.Erase Wrinkles

Cover your face with a towel soaked in hot water for 10 seconds, then spread on a thick layer of cream or a moisturizing mask. The heat swells pores, allowing the line-plumping ingredients to sink deep into skin.Cut and place pieces of plastic wrap over cheeks, chin, nose, and forehead to seal in hydration; remove and tissue off after a few minutes.

3.De-Puff Your Morning Face

Sleeping facedown causes fluid to pool under skin, and eating sodium-rich foods -- such as last night's Chinese takeout -- makes you retain water.The solution is in your freezer. "A bag of frozen vegetables, especially peas or corn, conforms to the face perfectly, bringing down swelling in about five minutes.

4.Get Bright Eyes: Lengthen Your Lashes

Long, fanned-out eyelashes instantly make eyes look well rested. Try this wide-awake tweak . Using mascara, sweep middle lashes upward toward brows; inner corners, toward nose; and outer lashes toward temples. Always choose black -- darker hues offer the most definition. And skip lower lashes; under-eye smudges make you look wiped out.

5.Raise a Few Brows

Well-groomed arches can lift your entire face. The simplest fix: Shape them with hair serum (not gel). Apply it using your fingers or a clean mascara wand in an up-and-out motion.The serum holds brows in place all day and adds a light-reflecting glow to the eye area.

6.Get a Smile: Brighten Those Whites

First "exfoliate" the top layer of stains by brushing with a gritty paste made of silica .Then apply a whitener. Removing the discolored surface helps the bleach work on more serious stains.

7.Smooth Out Lines

Talking, eating, even sipping from a straw can cause tiny vertical lines around lips. Erase them with a silicone-based filling lotion.It plugs up creases, so skin looks smoother.

8.Get Glossy Hair

Dull hair looks damaged, and it makes you appear older. The shortcut to sheen: Apply a quarter-size drop of hair serum through dry strands (start at the ends -- the oldest and driest area -- and move up toward roots), then blow-dry hair for a minute.The heat opens the cuticle, allowing the shine-enhancing ingredients to penetrate deeply. Lock them in with a blast of cold air, which seals the cuticle.

9.Look Younger Instantly

Take off five years with two smart styles. First, sport a ponytail.Positioned just above the crown, the style spotlights cheekbones, making them and the rest of your face appear lifted. Don't want to pony up? Part hair above the center of your right or left eye and comb to the opposite side, allowing strands to graze over your forehead. (Use a dryer and round brush to set them in place.) The "bangs" help hide lines.

10.Add Bounce to Your Hair

Layers of styling products and oil cause hair to fall flat and look greasy. To fix: Wet your hair, squeeze out excess water, then rinse with a mix of a half cup of apple-cider vinegar and one quart of water.Unlike clarifying shampoos, the vinegar gently washes away residue without stripping color, leaving hair volumized and vibrant. Finish with a quarter-size dollop of conditioner from mid-strands to ends.

11.File and Style for Pretty Hands

Turn back the clock with the right nail shape and shade. Step one: Trim nails so they're no longer than the tops of fingers, then file them into a "squoval," or straight line with rounded edges. It gives hands a lengthened look.Buff in one direction; a seesaw motion can weaken tips, causing them to split and chip. Finish by painting on a coat of a frosty or shimmery polish (neutrals look great on everyone), which catches light and brightens hands.

12.Hide Imperfections

Camouflage UV-induced damage such as fine lines by applying a face mask to hands. "Masks contain a higher concentration of hydrators than hand lotion, so you'll see immediate improvement in texture that lasts all day.Leave the treatment on for five minutes or so, then tissue off.

13.Scrub In Softness

Exfoliating hands with a salt- or sugar-oil treatment can relieve scaliness, stat. (Dryness emphasizes fine lines.) Rub a half-dollar-size scoop on skin for 30 seconds. Apply it as though you're lathering up with soap and water.The gritty texture sloughs roughness while the oil rapidly absorbs into skin. Pat hands dry and lock in oil with lotion.
