I'll give you the website cuz there's lots of info about hair, skin and etc. Enjoy and I hope you all have a wonderful Labor Day weekend!

Okay, leggings are back. But that means something very different for mall-crawling teens, professional women, and cruise-ship-loving grandmas. Here's our guide to interpreting some key fall runway trends - in hair, makeup and fashion - for every age group.
Chop Shop: Crops and Bobs
"It" model Mariacarla Boscono channeled 60s film star Jean Seberg with a piece-y pixie at Valentino, and YSL, while super duper model Stella Tennant showed off a choppy bob at Burberry Prorsum and more. We got some clip tips from GIOVANNI GIUNTOLI, an artist for REDKEN 5TH AVENUE, and a stylist at CUTLER SALON in New York.
Teens/Twenties: Give the crop or bob a bit more attitude. Make it piecier, more street. Products can exaggerate this, so show clients how to master pomade, wax, or gel - things they can use to manipulate hair and make it look like they just rolled out of bed.
Thirties/Forties: People are more established in their careers and lives, so go for chic polish instead of all-out edginess. Incorporate a client's distinct personality into her look. Someone with a little more style can still go a bit piece-y. Blow-dry with a gel or Redken Guts Volume Spray Foam.
Fifties/Sixties: For a flattering look, make the cut softer around the face. Avoid severe angles or a heavy, sharp fringe. Suggest a lighter touch with product, just Redken Spray Starch Heat Memory Styler and a flat iron.
S.W.A.K. Attack:
The Bold Red Lip
Pouts worthy of sealing love-letters were seen at Diane Von Furstenberg, Valentino, Tuleh, Behnaz Sarafpour…the list goes on. Makeup artist BURKE DANIEL, international TRUCCO artistic team member, tells us how to mouth off at seventeen or seventy.
Teens/Twenties: Choose a softer red, especially for teens. A berry color or just a red stain is better. Otherwise, young girls will look like
they are playing dress-up or auditioning for clown school. And mom might just get mad.
Thirties/Forties: This is the age where you can get away with the most. Go all out. Tailor the lip depending on the personality. Classics love a matte finish. Trendy types need a glossy red. Fifties/Sixties: Go gutsy, but choose a product that won't creep into fine lines around the mouth. A good one is Trucco's new long-wearing lipstick in Drenched. To avoid drying, make sure lip is moisturized and conditioned. Skip creams or glosses as they may fade or feather into fine lines.
The Skinny: Leggings
"The 'have all for fall' for every age group is the look of leggings," says RICCI DIMARTINO, a celebrity wardrobe stylist who has worked his magic on the likes of Angelina and Gwyneth. "It's all about the legging with a fitted flare top - a tunic, a jacket with a peplum hem, a longer dress - and a platform shoe." Dimartino explains how to adapt the look, which was seen at Marc Jacobs, Derek Lam, and just about everywhere else.
Teens/Twenties: Choose a micro mini, leggings, and a great sweater or fitted jacket. Finish with a fabulous platform shoe with an open toe. The ankle should
show, and the leggings should end just above it.
Thirties/Forties: Have fun with high platform ankle boots and use them to create a continuous line of color with leggings. Stick with black, or choose a deep, vivid, rich tone. Top with a skirt or dress that hits at the knee. You can also do a knee-length legging, and finish with a dress or skirt that ends mid-thigh.
Fifties/Sixties: Trade the legging for a sleek and narrow cigarette pant. This has substance and a sense of construction, and is more forgiving. Do great boots, maybe not as high a platform but something that still has a platform or wedge feel. Finish with a peplum-hem top.
The Fat: Fuller Brows
Pro pluckers beware. Brows are getting fatter. "It is still groomed," says Daniel. "But fuller looking. It has shape, but a more natural one." Trade those skinny arches for ones more like model Katarina Ivanovska's at Celine and Monique Lhuillier.
Teens/Twenties: To enhance this age group's naturally full brows, use a powder product and lightly dust color into brow. Don't match brow color at any age. Go a shade or two lighter than natural, or the layer of color on top of the brows' already dark hue will be too much.
Thirties/Forties: Brows begin to thin out at this age. Use a combo approach: pencil on bare skin where you want a thicker brow, powder on top of hair.
Fifties/Sixties: Using powder, draw on the brow shape - then step back and look at it. If you need more oomph, add darker powder, not pencil. If someone has very little hair - pencil looks too dramatic. Always start with a lighter shade and work your way up.
Bodies in Motion: Natural Texture
"Very seldom do we see pin straight hair," says Giuntoli, who also teaches editorial styling classes and has worked on photo shoots for Cosmopolitan, Seventeen, Black Book and more. "Even with a bob, a little wave gives movement." He sees natural texture and a sense of motion playing a major role this fall.
Teens/Twenties: Giuntoli says a lot of clients in this age group take this approach to styling: "I'm doing it but I'm not going to admit it." They want to appear naturally gorgeous, so give them no-fuss cuts and styles. They even like a few fly-aways.
Thirties/Forties: Create a little more of a styled look. Take some weight out of hair by cutting layers in the interior. Blow dry straight or with a round brush, but allow bend or movement at the ends. For more motion, just use fingers to tousle as you blow dry.
Fifties/Sixties: Highlights will create depth and texture - and give the illusion of movement even if hair is thin or sparse. Warmer blondes are more flattering to skin tones in this age group. Create a few lighter pieces around the face to add airiness and softness.
Peep Show: Nude and Natural Faces
This season's illusion of bareness is way better than old school "nude" hose, and a great alternative to the crimson pout. Nude palettes or more "natural" looks were everywhere: YSL, Alberta Ferretti, Chloe, Fendi, Jill Sander, Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs, Marni. Burke Daniel explains how to "go naturale."
Teens/Twenties: Start with a matte powder without any reflective shimmer. Glimmer just doesn't look natural. Keep shadows in earth tones: pinky, brown, golden-brown. Leave cheeks bare or dust on a light pink powder. Lips look soft but not shiny with gloss - just a healthy hint of peach or pink.
Thirties/Forties: This group needs a shade more shine to create the illusion of younger looking skin. Add a little dewiness to an overall matte finish by combining different products: a matte powder plus a cream-based blush. To get a "bare" eye, try a combo of an eggshell shimmer and a neutral matte. Choose a sheer lipstick or gloss.
Fifties/Sixties: To combat dryness, add sheen to skin with cream products. Try a simple one that can do triple duty for cheeks, eyes, and lips, such as Trucco Face Cremes Shine, a rectangular compact that holds five neutral colors: brown, champagne, gold, rose and white that can be used to do a full face.
