Now, imagine tasking your partner — who doesn't wear makeup — with buying your favorite "light bright" tube of lipstick. One guy was asked to do exactly that by his "beautiful sunshine" girlfriend — and he rose to the occasion, while likely giving his GF a migraine in the process.

Imgur user Bluefiz shared his daunting trip down the makeup aisle in a series of text screenshots. In the texts, his girlfriend schools her clueless boyfriend on the difference between nail polish and lipstick, along with the finer points of false eyelashes and their applicators.

Some might roll their eyes at a guy drawing pictures on his arm with lipstick, but it's totally endearing. Guys who brave judgment to buy their girlfriends makeup, tampons and hair products are keepers. It's not that unusual, too; a quick search of "buying makeup for my girlfriend" on Google produces link after link of boyfriends asking what type of "nail polishers" and "blushers" to get their GFs.

It's all pretty sweet — and this guy is included, even if he did ultimately forget his wallet. It's the thought that counts.

It's hard to tell with beauty products. Sometimes you need just a drop, and some things don't work unless you're using what seems like handfuls. Use too much and you're wasting product (and money), and probably causing all kinds of unwanted buildup and residue on your skin and scalp. Use too little and more than likely, it won't work the way you're hoping.

We've rounded up some of your most-used beauty products and put them all in this guide that tells you just how much you should be using of each.

The early '90s rappers were known for wearing their clothes backwards and, surprisingly, the latest iteration of the backwards look is super chic and sexy. Think about it: A loose-fitting button down gives you the option to drape it off your shoulder and helps you show off your beautiful back.

More: High-fashion footwear finally realises that "nude" comes in all shades

The trend originally took hold in the fall during fashion weeks in Milan, Paris and London, but the cold winter weather made it difficult to wear. The temperatures are finally warming up, so bloggers are back showing off the backwards street style.

The biggest challenge is figuring out how to button it. Most of the women wearing the style seem to opt for looser-fitting tops so it's easy to button or tie before pulling it on.

As for the tighter versions? Well, only opt for that if you have someone — like a roommate or S.O. — to button it for you.

So, the back looks great, but what about the front? Well, it will take some getting used to, but the most imaginative are using it as an opportunity to accessorize with a statement piece.

In the quest for perfect hair color, getting the shade you want is only half the battle. The rest is all about maintenance—using color-safe products, shampooing as infrequently as possible, rinsing with lukewarm water, touch-ups that you’re supposed to get every six weeks but can stretch to the eight-week mark.… It’s the little things. No, but really it is. I know this better than anyone. (Well, maybe not better than people who actually color hair for a living.)

More: The complete simplified hair color chart for every shade imaginable

I’ve dabbled in a wide array of hair colors, from an ill-advised red to black to (disastrously, in the end) platinum blonde and back to brown and then some. They say that red is the hardest color to maintain, which is probably true, but honestly, there’s no color you weren’t born with that’s actually easy to keep on the up-and-up. Anyone who says otherwise is lying; “low-maintenance hair color” is a relative term. All it means is “at least you’re not a natural brunette who’s gone platinum.”

A color-depositing glaze can extend the longevity of your artificial color dramatically—we’re talking weeks. Colorists know this, too, which is why they try to get you back in their chair for a glaze in between coloring sessions and charge $30 for it. But I don’t have the time nor money to develop a biweekly glaze habit (who does? Don’t answer that), which is why I’ve amassed quite the collection of at-home color-enhancing treatments over the years.

Damn straight.

1. Wearing too much product

Using the right products is key in your skin care routine, but too many products may be worse than none at all. Overindulging in cleansers, toners, exfoliaters, serums and creams can actually irritate your skin.

2. Waiting too long to moisturize

You should be applying a moisturizer to your face within one minute of washing it. If more time than that passes, your skin will begin to dehydrate.

3. Not using products made for you

Most skin products are formulated to help certain types of skin, so seek out the products that were made with your skin in mind. If you have oily skin, using a cleanser formulated for dry skin types isn't going to do you any favors.

4. Picking your pimples

Ah, we all know the sweet relief of popping an annoying pimple, but doing that will only spread the inflammation and lead to scarring. Apply a topical acne treatment, and then keep your hands off.

More: Dermatologists come clean about skipping moisturizer

5. Using harsh soaps

Your skin creates protective oils and barriers that it needs to stay healthy, and using harsh cleansers washes them away. Instead, go with something gentle for your face, and don't use it more than twice a day. For your body, pick a product like Dove Dry Oil Moisture Body Wash, formulated to replenish your skin's natural nutrients, and use it every time you shower.

6. Over-exfoliating

We all want fresh and glowing faces, and exfoliants seem to do that, but they are abrasive, and using them too often can actually damage your skin. Exfoliating scrubs should be used only once or twice a week.

7. Getting too many rays

When the summer arrives, we all crave that sun-kissed glow. But tanned skin now just ups your potential for early aging and cancer down the road. Limit your time in the sun, and use sunscreen when you're out.

More: 8 things your skin can tell you about your health

8. Smoking

We all know smoking does a ton of damage to the inside of your body, but it also has a negative effect on your skin. Smoking works on the skin from the inside out, making it look aged and tired long before it should.

9. Not sleeping enough

When you don't sleep, your body gets stressed, and when your body gets stressed, it releases cortisol. Cortisol causes inflammation throughout your entire body, and that includes your skin. A good night's rest will calm your nerves and your skin.

10. Not staying hydrated

No amount of moisturizer will help your skin if it's drying out from the inside. Drink plenty of water, and avoid overindulging in alcohol, as it leads to dehydration.

11. Sleeping in makeup

There are some nights when carrying out your whole beauty routine just seems like too much. We've all been there. But when you don't wash your face before bed, not only are you letting all that makeup clog your pores, but you're letting all the dirt and grime you've come into contact with throughout the day have eight more hours on your face. Too many nights of that, and you'll end up with acne and wrinkles. Taking time to scrub doesn't seem like such a chore now, does it?

For a champion of curvy girls everywhere, we don’t need to look any further than Iskra Lawrence, the size 10 (UK 14) model who won’t let her body be retouched in photographs and fills her Instagram page with body-positive messages.

More: How the media is promoting unhealthy body image expectations

Now she’s shown us all exactly how to deal with trolls. It’s all about the right prop — in this case dozens of packets of potato chips.

After nasty haters called her a "fat cow" on social media, 25-year-old Lawrence shared an image with her 1.3 million Insta followers, of herself in her underwear covered with the chip packets.

More: Lena Dunham shares bikini pic and gets slammed by trolls

She then posted a slow-motion video of herself eating a chip, just in case there was any doubt that this woman loves her food and won’t stop eating what she wants to please anyone.

"I’m sorry I couldn’t help myself," Lawrence wrote. "This is for anyone who has ever been called fat."

Girl, we like your style.

The model, who was scouted at 13 when she entered an ELLE girl search, shared a recent comment she’d received from a man on Instagram. Sean Brown wrote, "Fat cow. It's only cause every f****r on this planet is obese that that's the norm. Plus-size models? give me a f*****g break. Everyone needs to stop eating McDonald's, the NHS is f****d because of people like her eating too many bags of crisps."

To make it clear she doesn't advocate gorging on chips instead of more nutritious snack choice, Lawrence also wrote, "PS I do not condone binge eating. I eat whatever I want in moderation. I will eat crisps but I'll also make healthy home cooked meals and workout regularly. The message is who gives a F what anyone else thinks of you. You are the only one who decides yourself worth." (sic)

We could not agree more. And we need more body-positive role models like Lawrence. It doesn't matter what size they are — it's just a number at the end of the day. What does matter is standing up to cowardly trolls, who deal with their own feelings of inadequacy by trying to bring others down.

Lawrence is a rarity in an industry that makes money convincing women they need to airbrush themselves to oblivion. Get rid of your stretch marks. Hide your wrinkles. Cover up your cellulite. How about, just for a change, we took a leaf out of Lawrence’s book and showed the world we're all sexy AF, with or without cellulite?

The people behind e.l.f. cosmetics are either geniuses or malicious enablers who’ve brought me one step closer to peak vanity/insanity. I say this in regard to the invention of the e.l.f. Pore Refining Brush and Mask Tool, an item so smart, so simple, and so wholly unnecessary yet so convenient, I don’t think I could live without it now that I know it exists.

More: 7 best under-eye concealers, according to the internet

This thing is a game-changer, and I’m not just saying that because I like it. I love a good face mask, but I dread applying them: It’s messy, and so much of the product ends up wasted, swirling down the drain rather than on your skin where it belongs, not to mention the fact that the entire process necessitates washing your hands, like, three times (the first-world problem to end all first-world problems).

The flexible silicone spatula on this multi-use tool eliminates all of those very real concerns. All you do is coat it in your favorite mask and spread the product all over your face, which is … strangely enjoyable? Almost fun? And there’s no mess or mask left behind, so nothing gets wasted, and it makes it super easy to apply an even layer to your whole face. So good!

You may be wondering, but is the pore-refining brush on the other end good, too? I do not know the answer to that! It could be a game-changer in its own right, but I’ve been so enthralled with the spatula that I haven’t been particularly interested in anything else. I haven’t slept or eaten since I started using it, let alone tried to figure out what the little brush thing is for. Get with it.

Like all things e.l.f., the tool is absurdly cheap at 500 cents, or $5, but honestly, if the handle were gold and there were French words somewhere on the packaging, you could probably trick me into paying $30 for it. But it’s way, way affordable, which probably has something to do with why it’s sold out right now. I’m marking this down as a must-have—plus, if you haven’t done dishes in a while and find the need to ice a cake, it could really come in handy in a more practical sense.

Before I get to the fun stuff, there’s a common misconception that I need to clear up right away. During my time spent working as an aesthetician and wedding makeup artist for more than five years, I noticed one recurring trend among my clients that never failed to surprise me: Women treated their beautifully rounded faces like a curse, instead of the blessing they truly are.

Just as we are all working so hard to embrace our natural body shape, the face shape you were born with deserves the same kind of love. For all the hourglasses, pears, rulers and full-figured bodies out there, we have a vast array of unique and distinct face shapes to go right along with them. Alongside face shapes like the heart, diamond, rectangle and oval, the lovely round face has a special symmetry that is all its own.

More: The most flattering hairstyles for round faces are not what you'd think

And just like dressing for your body type, putting on makeup is all about working with your face shape and playing up your best features. Here’s how to put your best (round) face forward any day of the week:

1. Start with the framework

The eyes are the windows into the soul, and the eyebrows are made to frame those windows — especially for women with round faces. “Focus on the arch of the brow to bring some length to the face,” Vanessa Eckels, Senior Makeup Artist at Hourglass Abbot Kinney, advises. “I use a brow sculpting pencil to help emphasize — not overdraw — the natural arch of the brow.”

Sculpting the arch can be a game-changer, though Jennifer Trotter of Lip Service Makeup, pro makeup artist and beauty expert, adds, “Do not, I repeat, do not shape your brows into a rounded, arch shape! The combo of this brow shape with a round face is unflattering, so make sure you're emphasizing your arch to create lift.”

2. Focus on your favorite feature

It’s perfectly OK to be a little vain. Do you love your lips? Were you born with naturally gorgeous baby blues or deep browns to die for? Whatever your preferred feature may be, giving it a little extra attention can help to balance a round face while enhancing your entire look. Try an unexpected shade of eye shadow or a new eye makeup tutorial (with a few false lashes for volume) or keep the eyes light and draw attention to the bottom of your face with a bright lip color that flatters your skin tone.

3. Wing it

This one is quick and easy and works well for all round-faced beauties. After applying your regular eye makeup, go bold with a winged or cat-eye look. The deep curve of the dark, winged eyeliner is naturally slimming above fuller cheeks. Not only is a cat-eye for day or night pretty damn sexy, but it also balances the softer features of a round face.

4. Play with your angles

To put on the finishing touches after you’ve put on your face, you only need two tools in your makeup box, according to Eckels. She recommends using a highlighting powder and a bronzer to sculpt and shade, balancing a rounder face with full features. “Apply a highlighting powder down the bridge of the nose, at the center of the forehead and just a touch on the chin to add length to a round face.” She adds, “To create the illusion of a more sculpted face, I sweep bronzer along the temples, in the hollows of the cheeks and along the jawline.”

But before you snap that Instagram-worthy selfie, Trotter recommends taking a second — and more objective — look. She cautions, “Yes, you can use contour to ‘carve out’ your features a bit, but don't go overboard. Few makeup tricks look as awful as poorly applied contour. Blend well!”

5. Add gloss

No matter what color of lipstick you choose (whether you are playing up your eyes or your lips), it helps to remember this best-kept, round-faced secret: Luscious lips are great for elongating. If you’ve chosen a lipstick in a lighter shade, add some gloss or sheen to attract the eye. Darker lipstick in a bright red or deep berry will bring the focus to the bottom of the face so that it naturally appears longer, and often, slimmer.

6. Don’t forget the cheeks

As I’ve seen firsthand with many clients, women with round faces often shy away from bolder blush colors for fear that their cheeks will dominate their face. Not so, says Trotter, who recommends a dusting of blush for all round-faced women, as long as it is carefully applied in the right place.

“Many girls with round faces are unsure of how and where to apply blush, so they skip it — you need the color to warm your complexion and visually break up the roundness in your cheeks. Blush applied properly can also visually lift and slim the face... bonus! Blush should be in a modified teardrop shape that starts at the apex of your cheekbone and blends up and out toward your temples. Be sure not to get blush too close to your nose or any lower than your cheekbone. Both will drag your face down and emphasize roundness,” Trotter says.

I love to spend money, but only on things I want. If this happens to overlap with things I actually need (for example, a really nice vacuum, which I currently both want and need), then all the better—but when it comes to items that I need to buy but find no real joy in, I’m less than pleased. I feel that this is unfair, which is why every time I run out of disposable razors I find myself balking in the Rite Aid shaving needs section, like, “Why are these $13? I don’t want them! Fuck the patriarchy.”

But really, this has nothing to do with the patriarchy. (It’s just nice to blame it on social construct, because it takes the onus off of me.) There’s nothing wrong with eschewing hair removal as a woman, but I personally prefer to take an overall (mostly) diligent approach to smoothness.

More: 8 (Actually Delicious) Foods That Make Your Hair Grow Faster

Maintaining skin like a baby seal does not come easy to me. I’m reluctant to admit that I’m kind of hairy, but there it is: I’m kind of hairy. Or at least, I’m hairy if I don’t do anything about it, which I do. My coloring is also a contributing factor—my skin is very fair and my hair is very dark, which means that any regrowth is immediately apparent, like a five-o’-clock shadow but for armpits. My hair growth is also thick (this is so gross!!!) and can dull down a razorblade like nothing else, so the way I go through disposable razors you’d think I owned stock in them. I don’t.

I have no brand loyalty, so I was game to try five different cheapo drugstore iterations to see how they compared to one another. I wanted to know, definitively, which one was the best. (I also want to know everything in general, and this experiment helped me get one step closer to that.)

More: The best and only ways to avoid razor bumps

1. BIC Soleil Triple Blade Shavers for Women, $7

These razors are for women, just FYI. These are actually my go-to when I reluctantly hit up the drugstore to restock. I don’t think they’re all that great, but inexplicably I keep buying them, probably because I’m a creature of habit. My experience with these this time around was no different than it has been in the past: They get the hair off, but because the head doesn’t pivot, I find that I’m much, much more likely to cut myself with these than with razors that do have pivoting blades.

Also, I know using a dull razor is a bad thing, but these almost seem too sharp, and frequently leave my skin looking red and irritated from razor burn, especially on the lower part of my legs, which you’d think would be the least likely area to show sensitivity. I’ll try not to reflexively buy these again, even though they have “mango papaya scented handles.”

2. Noxzema Spa Shave 4-Blade Shavers, $5

The only good thing about these razors is that they’re real cheap. Aside from that, they are effectively useless. I had a laughably difficult time trying to shave hair off of my body using these “shavers,” which were made for that express purpose. I had to go over every area several times, and even then there was stubble left behind. Don’t waste five dollars on these.

3. Gillette Simply Venus Disposable Women’s Razors, $8

Love that pivoting head! I liked these fine—I had to go over my underarms a few times to get them completely hair-free, but that could have been user error considering I’d gone about a week and a half without shaving them, which is a long time for me and yields about a quarter inch of hair. My bad.

I emerged from this particular shave gloriously scot-free, which I was happy about. However, these razors have two major cons. One is a technical flaw, which is that the “easy-glide MoistureRich strip” gets really sticky and slimy while you’re using it, and that can make it hard to get a good, close shave. The second downfall is that it features a “comfort grip handle specially designed for women,” “designed especially for the way a woman shaves,” which “makes it easy to maneuver.” This is an objectively ridiculous way to go about marketing a razor.

4. Schick Xtreme 3 Scented Handle Razors, $8

Why are scented handles a draw for “women’s” disposable razors? Nobody needs that. The scent here is Hawaiian Tropic, as in the sunscreen, which is almost as confusing as the question of why razors need scents in the first place. Anyway. These are very good! No errant battle wounds, no need to go over the same three square inches of hair a million times, no razor burn. I feel especially good about that since the packaging itself promises that it “FIGHTS Razor Burn – GUARANTEED.” I’m glad I wasn’t lied to.

5. Studio 35 Beauty Disposable Five-Blade Razors, $7

The underdog steals the show in this story. I had never seen these razors before in my life, and even if I had, I wouldn’t exactly have been drawn in by the generic packaging and general lack of aesthetic appeal. (Come to think of it, that’s probably why I buy those mediocre BIC Soleils. I think I might just like bright colors.) On several occasions I mistakenly referred to the brand as “Perfect365,” which is in fact “the favorite FREE makeover app of more than 30 million users.” Impressive, but not as impressive as the smooth, close, pain-free shave I got from this razor, which is manufactured by Walgreens and also sold at New York drugstore chain Duane Reade.

Subpar in appearance, yet outstanding in performance—these are like the Susan Boyle of their category. Is that still culturally relevant? Who else is homely yet absurdly talented these days?

That's right, ladies. You can forget all about those pesky underarm wobbles because, apparently, freckles are the new cellulite. And if you have freckles and you're a redhead, you might as well go hide under a rock for the rest of your life because no one is going to date you. As someone who drops serious cash every six weeks to achieve natural-looking red hair, this ad made me do a spit take. Granted, it appeared in the United Kingdom, where redheads are considered evil (seriously), and I live in America, where redheads are more highly regarded. But nevertheless, unbelievable.

I'm not a real redhead, but I fake it. I don't have any of my own freckles, but I used to draw them on with a brow pencil when I was younger. Now they even sell freckle tattoos. So to suggest that either of these things is less than beautiful when people are actually paying to fake these exact traits is off-key.

Since then, a spokesperson from Match has responded to the ad's backlash in a pretty dismissive way: “Our adverts reveal common perceived imperfections and quirks of Brits — these include freckles, which some people who have them may see as an imperfection. We think freckles are beautiful, and our posters are designed to encourage everyone who has them to be proud."

Ladies with beautiful eyes in that natural shade of blue, you probably know what your best feature is by now. But there's a trick to playing up your assets that many blue-eyed women aren't privy to: Those baby blues need to be enhanced with the right shade of eye makeup that doesn't overpower or take away from the hue.

For work or for play, here are our favorite pro makeup tips to bring out your true blue:

Eyeshadow

For the office, stick with eyeshadow in brown, rose, terracotta and neutral shades. Embrace the idea of purple eyeshadow to really accentuate the color of your eyes. Lavender works for daytime, while deep plum is a wonderful option for evening. For a special night out, blue-eyed women also can try metallics (both silver and gold work well), turquoise and icy pink.

But let's not forget, skin tone also comes into play when choosing the right eyeshadow for your shade of blue. Jennifer Trotter of Lip Service Makeup, professional makeup artist, explains, "Shadow for blue eyes is all about contrast and choosing shades that show off your baby blues. Want your blue eyes to really pop? Choose shadows with warm yellow/orange undertones like champagne, gold, bronze, peach, rose gold and toasty almond/coffee shades. The contrast will make your eyes stand out like crazy and look especially great on blue-eyed girls with golden tans!"

Trotter continues, "If you've got blue eyes and fair skin, try combos based on pink undertones, like milk chocolate, taupe, mauve and blush. These shades look lovely and really enhance blue eyes without overpowering a fair complexion. Any blue-eyed girl can rock black, coffee or charcoal gray liner or mascara to enhance your lash line -- keep it soft if you have fair skin and light hair to avoid looking harsh."

Answering the question that is on every blue-eyed belle's mind, Trotter says "yes," it is OK to go matchy-matchy and wear blue on blue, when you stick to a few simple guidelines. "A vibrant navy or cobalt paired with lighter blue eyes can look very sophisticated. You'll have to experiment and see what shades work for your specific eye color. Avoid frosty light and mid-tone blue shades — they can look dated and aging." Still, she cautions, "Any blue shadows that match your eye shade exactly can actually make your eye color look dull by comparison."

The smoky look

For evening, dark blue mascara looks fabulous on blue eyes, especially when paired with smudged charcoal eyeliner. Try smoky eye makeup using charcoal gray or purple shadow. "For blue eyes, choose dark blue (the dark blue tones can help to bring out the natural blue tones in your eyes), gray, silver, violet or lavender," says SheKnows beauty expert Nina Sutton. "For night time, blue combined with black is a great look. For eyeliner or mascara, try navy instead of black for a dramatic, yet less intense look," she says.

The palest blue eyes may benefit from steering clear of the heavy black eyeliner altogether, says Chelsa Crowley, co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of Stowaway Cosmetics. "Black eyeliners can sometimes feel too dark, depending on how pale blue your eyes are, and though the black shades will define your eyes in a dramatic way, it will not make your blue eyes pop or appear bluer," she explains.

Wing it!

Cat-eye or winged eyeliner looks awesome with blue eyes. Winged liner puts all the focus on your baby blues, and looks terrific in any shade — from black to turquoise and violet to orange... yes, orange liner. A subtle, barely-winged look will work for everyday wear. But for special occasions, get dramatic with a thicker, more exaggerated line.

For the blue-eyed girls who are ready to mix it up and try something new, Crowley advocates using a different color of eyeliner for the same winged effect. "Choose navy/deep blue, dark chocolate brown or even violet/purple shades to enhance your eye color," she says. "Using a bronze eyeliner is your best option for making your eyes stand out. You can never go wrong with a bronzy brown shade!"

Lips

With all this focus on the right eyeshadow shade for your blue hue, it's natural to assume that luscious lip colors should go out the window. Not so, says Trotter. In fact, she recommends focusing on your lipstick shade as a finishing touch to bring out your blues. "Lipstick makes a huge difference when you have light eyes! If you've never tried a pop of color on your lips, you might be surprised to find that it really balances your features and brightens the color of your eyes even more," she says.

Trotter advises, "Go classic with a bright red, fun and flirty with a hot pink or easy and wearable with a berry shade that works on literally any skin tone." For your cheeks, dust on a sweep of blush in a light and natural hue. As Crowley reminds us, peach, coral and bronze shades can make most blue eyes appear bluer.

Cree Ballah told the CBC that she went to work at the Toronto store on March 23 when a manager told her to take her boxer braids out. That manager went to get a second manager, who then pulled Ballah aside to "fix" the situation.

"They took me outside of the store and they said, 'We're not trying to offend you, but we're going for a clean professional look with Zara and the hairstyle you have now is not the look for Zara,'" Ballah said.

Other employees and customers could see as the managers tried to "fix" her hair.

"It was very humiliating... it was unprofessional," Ballah, who identifies as biracial, told the news network. "My hair type is out of my control and I try to control it to the best of my ability, which wasn't up to standard for Zara."

But — get this — Zara reps told the CBC that they have no set policy for hair, only asking that it looks "professional." What's professional, however, is apparently up for interpretation.

This isn't the only recent story like this to come out of Canada. Earlier this year, a server at a Toronto restaurant said she was sent home for not keeping her natural hair "down her back" as managers mandated.

As for Ballah, she plans to quit and file a formal complaint with the Ontario Human Rights Commission. "My hair type is also linked to my race, so to me, I felt like it was direct discrimination against my ethnicity in the sense of what comes along with it," she said.

As a blogger, it can be tempting at times to jump on a bandwagon of the latest trend, whether you actually like the trend or not. But I've learned over the years that I am always the most proud of my content when it is a true reflection of my lifestyle and myself.

Today I am providing you with a few must-have items to easily build a classic wardrobe.

1. A comfortable cotton dress

2. A structured jacket

On cooler days, I layer on a classic trench coat or my favorite distressed-denim jacket. The extra layer is functional for those unpredictable spring months, but it also adds another element of classic style to the outfit. Denim jackets are always fun to tie around the waist to help define your waistline.

3. A versatile mid-heel boot

I invested in these classic brown booties a few years ago, and they still remain the most popular pair in my closet. The mid-heel height makes them appropriate for any situation, and the brown suede works from fall to spring — definitely a proven investment piece!

4. A bold lip

Finish your timeless look with a classic red or soft pink lipstick. Nothing can make you appear or feel more chic and feminine than a pretty lip. A soft pink may be all you need for daytime, then kick it up a notch before dinner with a bold red, for the perfect finishing touch.

But putting a look together doesn’t start or end with your wardrobe. Your skin care and beauty routine is just as (or more) important! Always remember to start your look with soft skin. The new Dove, with Moroccan Argan Oil, replenishes 12 times more of skin's natural nutrients by nourishing and protecting from dry skin in the shower. I love that I can get my skin soft and clean in one step with the Dove Dry Oil Moisture Body Wash and Beauty Bar, as it effectively cleanses without leaving skin feeling dry.

Create the look:

coat: Burberry (similar option), dress: J.Crew (similar), booties: Rag & Bone, handbag: Céline (available at Neiman Marcus), necklace: Capwell + Co, old (similar), ring: David Yurman, sunglasses: Céline

Nothing will ruin your day faster than a nail that splits or breaks without warning — and don't even get us started on those weak nails that won't stop peeling. Dry and damaged nails can be a source of embarrassment that even the prettiest polish won't fix, which is why we asked our top beauty experts for the 411 on how to strengthen nails, naturally.

1. Soak nails in olive oil

For weak, thin nails, soak them in extra virgin olive oil 10-15 minutes a day for a month, then twice a week thereafter. This inexpensive home beauty treatment will help fortify damaged, weak or peeling nails.

"Applying vegetable oil helps relieve dryness and cracking of toenails," confirms Dr. Wenjay Sung, a board-certified podiatrist in Los Angeles. "Unlike creams, oils do a better job soaking into the nail bed and moisturize the structural toenail bed longer than creams and gels."

2. Use a cuticle cream like it's your religion

A soothing cuticle cream like Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Creme helps nourish dry cuticles and brittle, damaged nails with vitamin E. Massage the cream into and around your nails nightly before going to bed.

Dr. Elizabeth Tanzi, founder and director of Capital Laser & Skin Care and Assistant Clinical Professor, Department of Dermatology at the George Washington University Medical Center, advises, "Cuticles can dry out from repetitive hand washing and manicures, so if they are not given extra protection with a nourishing cuticle cream, they will crack and split, increasing risk of nail infection."

3. Don't overuse your nails

Your fingernails aren't intended to be tools to open soda cans. Instead, use a pen or other object rather than your fingernails to do these everyday tasks.

4. Wear gloves for chores

When doing the dishes, cleaning and gardening, wear gloves. Detergents and cleansers are harsh on your fingernails, causing drying, spitting and peeling. Soil and gardening can also cause damage to your nails.

As Dr. Tanzi pointed out, the best way to take care of hands and nails is to avoid drying them out. "Frequent hand washing with antibacterial soap is very harsh," she says. "I recommend washing with a gentle cleanser, which will sanitize just as well as harsh products and a good moisturizer afterward to lock in the hydration. At night, a thicker moisturizer on hands with a rich cuticle cream will keep hands/nails looking great."

5. Eat biotin-rich foods

Make sure your diet features foods rich in biotin, such as liver, cooked eggs, whole grains, cauliflower and avocado, among others. In addition to other health benefits, biotin can help strengthen and thicken nails. You can also take a biotin supplement, if necessary.

6. Take a multivitamin daily

Vitamins are essential for your overall well being and can do wonders for your nails too. Lack of vitamin A, vitamin C and calcium can cause dry, brittle nails. Be sure to take a multivitamin and calcium supplements daily. Also be sure to eat a protein and calcium rich diet.

7. Avoid traditional nail polish remover

Don't use nail polish remover more than once or twice a month, if possible. And never use a nail polish remover that contains acetone, which can dry and damage nails. Try Josie Maran's Bear Naked Nail Wipes instead.

If your nails have seen better days, taking a break from nail polish and nail polish can help to support healing. Dr. Sung advises, "To repair damaged nails, sunlight is sometimes the best answer. Using nail polish excessively prevents vital sunlight from reaching the nail bed and may prevent nails from fully healing and regenerating cells. Sunlight is vital to our skin and also to our hair and nails as well."

8. Find a 'miracle' treatment

Sally Hansen Miracle Cure for Severe Problem Nails works wonders. It stops nails from peeling almost overnight. Using a mineral rich formula with protein and antioxidants, this treatment helps restore dry, splitting, damaged nails. A clear coat of nail polish may also help protect nails.

"To prevent dry, damaged nails, you will want to follow two basic nail care steps," says Holly L. Schippers, CND Education Ambassador and Empower Nail Art Lead Educator at FingerNailFixer. "Keep them covered and protected with your favorite nail coating, even if it's a simple, thin coat of clear polish. Second, waterproof them with a high-quality oil that contains jojoba or squalene, ingredients which allow the oil to penetrate the coating and the nail surface so that the oil is able to lubricate individual nail cells — improving flexibility and making the nail less susceptible to damage from water and other chemicals. My favorite is CND Solar Oil."

9. Actually massage your nails

Massaging your fingernails stimulates blood flow to the area, helping them grow longer and stronger. Use a moisturizing lotion and massage hands, cuticles and the nails themselves. And as Dr. Tanzi recommended, get into the habit of applying lotion immediately after washing your hands.

10. Drink a lot of water (no surprise here)

Just as water is for your overall health, that goes for your nails too. Drinking water can help hydrate dry, damaged nails, just like it does for hair and skin.

Even when you've reached the point of no return — where your nails are a hot, hot mess — there still may be a light at the end of the tunnel. For very severe nail damage, time is what you need, and lots of it. Schipper estimates that, when following the steps above, it may take anywhere from 3 to 6 months for new and healthy nails to grow out completely. If you're desperate and in need of a quicker fix, Schipper recommends a product like CND Rescue RXx, which, she says, which will deposit keratin on the surface and improve nail condition in about 4 weeks.

No matter what you've read in the fashion magazines, there is no cookie-cutter approach to style. The fun thing about fashion (and the reason we're so obsessed with clothes and shoes) is that literally anything goes — if it makes you look and feel good too.

More: How to tell which body shape you are once and for all

The first step to finding the right clothes to bring out your inner goddess, or rock star or CEO is to figure out your specific body type so that you can play up your best features:

Determine and embrace your body type

Body shape is all about proportion, and fashion is all about dressing those proportions to look their very best. When you think about body types, don't focus on height and weight... focus on shape. A slender gal can have the same body shape as a curvy gal, just as a short woman can have the same body shape as her taller friend. And it's not about trying to look thin; it's about accentuating your shape and enhancing what you have so you feel your best in every outfit you own.

Each of us is unique — and our bodies are, too! Nevertheless, our body shapes are generally narrowed down to five general categories: pear, wedge, rectangle, apple and hourglass. You might fall into one category, or you might be a blend of two or more categories.

Once you've determined your body shape, you can begin to consider which fashion trends to embrace and which to avoid. Spend some time in front of the mirror and do a fair and honest assessment of your body. Then put these fashion tips to work.

1. Pear body shape
