Stop Shine
When the first day rolls around, the temps are often hotter-than-hot. Keep your skin shine-free with a mattifying moisturizer. It’ll zap excess oil. You wanna shine in the classroom—not your forehead.

Mani of the Moment
When not one but TWO GL staffers are sporting the same exact nail color, it means one thing: utter polish perfection. Right now, our digits are decked in shimmery pink. It’s darling for school days, but sooo not boring. Hearts!

Eye Spy
We were at a photo shoot last weekend and spied the coolest trick used by a way-talented makeup artist. Line the inner rims of you lids with NUDE (not white) for an instant eye-opening effect. It’s brilliant—and way less obvi than the old-school method.
