Sure, you can do two (or three) coats of mascara to lengthen and tint lashes and define eyes every single day. Then wash it off, wake up and do it all over again. Or you can simply have the effect 24/7. “Extensions can fake the look of mascara,” says Tamara Caless, lash specialist at Courtney Akai Lash Boutique in New York City. “The extensions are applied from the base to the tip of each eyelash individually with black glue, which looks like a light liner.” So you get the look without the smudging and clumping.

Who knew hair color had the power to give skin a healthy glow or suck the life right out of it? “Your hair color can change the undertones of your skin,” says Lisa Estridge, colorist at Eliut Salon in New York City. “In the winter people tend to go darker with their hair color for some reason, but without sun-kissed skin, that can make you look washed out.” Try doing a few very thin strands of highlights about two shades lighter than your natural color around your face. It will subtly brighten and shed a constant light on skin so you don’t have to reach for the bronzer or blush nearly as much. (1 hour; $250)

Sharon Dorram’s New York City salon may be known as the Mecca of hair color, but, according to magazines like Vogue and Allure, it’s also a secret haven for some of the best brow shapers in the business: Jo-Anna Lynn, Maribeth Madron and Robyn Cosio. “Women think of brows as an extra makeup step, but they really are a necessity,” says Lynn. “They give off a naturally beautiful finish so you can wear less makeup around your eyes.” And she highly recommends going pro. “No face is ever truly symmetrical, so if you tweeze your brows to look exactly the same, they’ll never look natural.” (10 minutes; $70-$85)
