That perfect complexion
you see
on
actresses, models, and even
newscasters? One
word: airbrushing. This spray-on foundation
technique covers a multitude of skin sins and even stays put in humidity.
Now it’s available to those of us who don’t have a makeup artist on speed
dial. We took two to task and learned that in this case, DIY is A-OK.

Once you get over the sticker shock (the unit costs $225,
and the custom foundation it requires, which lasts about two
months, is $55), you’ll be shocked again by how good you look on
your first try. Hot tip: Stop by any Sephora to try before you buy.

The $169 Basic kit contains an instructional DVD
plus a selection of foundations. It took a little experimentation to
find our shades, but we enjoyed playing up the look with the spray
bronzer, highlighter, and shimmer (all included); at

The Moroccan Ofl hair care line. Made from
argan oil (the extract from the nut of the
argan tree), this hair treatment reduces
frizzies and boosts shine. Since vitamin-rich
argan is one of the most expensive oils
around, Moroccan Oil’s a bit pricey (it starts
at $14). But a little really does go a long way.

Move over, green tea. Acai
[Ah-Sigh-EE] is the new antioxi-
dant in town. This blueberry-like
fruitfound in the Brazilian
rainforest is getting a lot of buzz
because it boasts high levels of
antioxidants—important ammuni-
tion in the fight against external
aging. That’s why we’re seeing the
berry popping up in skin care like
Kiehl’s Acai Damage-Repairing
collection, $
25
, and cosmetics such
as Revlon Age Defying Spa
Foundation, $14. But will it flatten
your fine lines? Scientists say it’s
promising, but more testing is in
order. At least now you know how
to pronounce it.
