Jennifer Aniston
The scoop from behind the scenes at our shoot.
Soon after Aniston arrived at Milk

Studios in Los Angeles with wet hair,
she and Allure creative director Paul
Cavaco flipped through racks of bodyskimming dresses. A fan of Tomas Maiers
bathing suits, she loved a black dress from
the designer, but they ultimately decided
on a palette of soft beiges for the shoot.

Posing for the cover, she was a

great collaborator, says Cavaco,
referring to the actresss ability
to look at a promising shot and then
duplicate the expression on her face.
The plan for the day was for Michael
Thompson to also shoot Aniston
with hairstylist Chris McMillan
for the profile, but Thompson surprised

them both by suggesting the portrait be
topless. He wanted them both in jeans;
McMillan swapped his shorts for Cavacos
denim and joined a long list of people,
including Madonna and Farrah Fawcett,
to be photographed in Cavacos pants.
West Coast editor Kelly Atterton

told McMillan that she was
thinking of cutting bangs. He
mentioned it to Aniston, who said, You
have a nice forehead and pretty eyes
why dont you do it now? and hopped
out of the hair chair. Everyone called the
resulting fringe by McMillan a success.
Aniston, with
photographer Michael
Thompson, leans
in for the cover shot.
Hair Lesson
To exaggerate Anistons
natural waves, hairstylist
Chris McMillan combed
a mixture of mousse
and shine serum through
her damp hair. He
straightened just her roots
and scrunched the
bottom half of her hair
with his hands while
he dried it with a diffuser.

Aniston stars in the
upcoming film Cake.

Makeup Lesson
To play up Anistons golden
look, makeup artist
Charlotte Tilbury swirled
bronzer along the sides
of her face and apricot blush
on her cheeks. She chose
a palette of gold and bronze
shadows for Anistons
eyes and drew brown liner
along her top lashes. She
layered a shimmery bronze
gloss over a berry lipstick.
Letter From the Editor
Whats all this about getting out of your comfort zone? a friend asked at dinner the other
night. Isnt comfort good? Isnt it what were
always trying to find?
These days, though, the buzzwords are
discomfort, disruption, failuretheyre the
magic ingredients of innovation, where right is
wrong and losing is winning. Getting out of your
comfort zone is widely believed to be the key to
success and strength. Sometimes it works, and
sometimes its just wishful thinking.
The idea of disruption can apply to beauty,
too. Take anti-aging treatments. Lasers and retinol function by literally disrupting the skin,
wounding it so that the collagen springs into
action to help it heal. With more collagen, skin
looks plumper and less wrinkled. The same
goes for fitness: Break down the muscle and it
rebuilds and becomes stronger.
In areas of style, disruption is rebellious and
exciting; it quickens the pulse. Just try uttering
the sentence These shoes are so comfortable!
in the presence of a fashion person and watch
the reaction. You will be met with a look of
either disgust or pity. The comfort zone is
sweatpants, a blunt haircut, and pink lip gloss. It
doesnt demand attention or effort.
As much as some of us try, we find ourselves
drawn again and again to whats comfortable.
I almost feel I should apologize for the fact that
Ive never worn a mullet or dyed my hair green.
I have no tattoos, and my only piercings are centered on each earlobe. I dont even venture into
bold lipstick or nail polish. I know; Im sorry.
The problem with comfort is its hard to
resist. The beauty company Urban Decay started as a disrupter, with dark, aggressive nail
polishes and lipsticks named Roach and Acid
Rain and an ad slogan that asked, Does pink
make you puke? But over the years, it was the
companys brown and beige makeup shades
that became the gold mine. Makeup junkies
lose their ever-loving minds whenever a new
Naked palette hits the shelves. By hooking
that neutral palette to a wild spirit, Wende
Zomnir, Urban Decays cofounder, made it
cool. Most people would love to have a little
danger in their lives, and Urban Decay has
that, she said. But we also bring it to everyday life. Zomnir compiled the first Naked palette out of the companys most essential,
best-selling shades, all generally considered
safe. People want to be in their comfort zone
but push the edges a bit. Zomnir pushes the
edges by wearing a basic eye shadow and
adding a vivid color, like purple, on top. She
also surfs big waves and snowboards out of
helicopters, but thats another story.
The more I think about it, the more I believe
that perhaps its not so black-and-white, hard
or soft. And maybe theres a kind of comfort
in disruption, too.

Models love to talk about bringing

in contraband from French
pharmacies. And Karlie Kloss, for
one, has confessed to smuggling
a particular antiperspirant to New
York City. Hey, Karlie, good news:
Dove Dry Spray 48H (as in two days)
antiperspirant is now in U.S.
drugstores. And we understand why
she loves it. The aerosol formula
is moisturizing yet sprays on dry and
doesnt leave white traces on
clothes (couture or otherwise). While
we didnt go 48 hours without
showeringFrancophilia has its limits
we can say it stops sweat for a very
long time. DANIELLE PERGAMENT

tweezers (below) at Dior.
eve seen makeup artist Peter

Philips glue some wacky things to
eyelids (silver sheets, gold leaf,
neoprene). But when we watched
him attach slivers of laser-cut
satin to the models eyelids at the
Dior spring show, it was the first
time we considered running to a craft store. But now we
dont have to go all DIY, because Dior is selling the
limited-edition strips in pastel shades. A few tips on
using them: 1) The strips are technically stickers, but
they wont stay stuck without a little help. Curve them
between your fingers the way you would false lashes, and
dot on three drops of glueone in the middle and one
on each endbefore pressing them to your lash line
with tweezers. 2) You might need to trim them. 3) If you
want to reuse them, curl your lashes but skip mascara
(the satin material smudges easily). Unless, of course,
youre comfortable taking your eyeliner to the dry
cleaner. It is Dior, after all.

THE NEWS: Living

Proof Curl Defining Styling
Creampart of the
companys new curl line
helps curls hold their
shape and stay soft and frizzfree for up to three days.
HOW IT WORKS: Almost
all curly-hair problems
stem from one thing: water.
When the hair absorbs
too much on humid days,
its cuticle swells (causing
frizzy, poufy curls), and when it cant
get enough, the cuticle is parched
(dry, strawlike curls). This Living
Proof cream uses a stable algae
extract called Cystoseira compressa
to create a barrier inside the hair that
prevents moisture from escaping. To
keep curls intact, polymers that are
soft and pliableunlike the stiff resins
found in many curly-hair products
form a strong yet flexible scaffolding
around curls, while silicone-free
conditioners keep them smooth.
THE VERDICT: Though this cream
made our blowout take twice as long,
it left our curls impressively shiny,
springy, and more definedand not
the least bit greasy or ramen-crisp.
Plus, it increased our curls staying
power: After we fluffed them with our
hands the next morning, they looked
like theyd just been styleda true
feat. Our curls started to sag only on
day threethe longest theyve ever
lasted without a touch-up. LEXI NOVAK

Midnight oil: Nars Skin

Restorative Night
Treatment blends almond
and rice-bran
oils with antioxidants.
Every time we rub on a

facial oil, we make an internal
pact: Deal with the over-the-top shine
now, embrace the skin-quenching benefits
later. Which is exactly why two new solid oils,
Nars Skin Restorative Night Treatment and
BareMinerals Mineralixirs Eye Nourishing Oil Balm,
are so appealing. Both contain blends of hydrating
oils. But the gel-like formulas melt instantlyand not
greasilyon contact, and theyre even more
moisturizing than their dropper-dispensed cousins.
Because most solid formulas are emulsions of oil
and water, they can incorporate water-soluble
moisturizers, which liquid oils cant, explains
cosmetic chemist Ron Robinson. They soften
even superdry skin (and are easy to tap on
rough spots), all while looking like
youre wearing nothing at all.

EYE INTENSITY
uick: Where are your limbal rings? Yeah, we didnt know, either. Turns out
theyre the dark circles around your irises, and the darker they are, the younger and healthier you look, according to a study from the University of California, Irvine. (They naturally fade with age.) Acuvue Define contact lenses,
which just arrived in the United States after ten years in Asia, have shaded
borders that make the limbal rings more pronounced. These lenses use darkness around their edges to make your natural eye color really popwithout
obscuring your sight, says ophthalmologist Marguerite McDonald. Our tester loved the effect:
I got tons of compliments. No one noticed a color change, just that my eyes looked brighter. But
when I wore the contact in one eye and not in the other, the difference was very clear. You dont
have to have vision problems to try them; theyre also available as planos, the industry term for
RAMONA EMERSON
noncorrective contacts. And now youve learned two new things today.
The model (below) is wearing an Acuvue

Define contact lens on the eye at right;
it adds a dark outline to her iris. The lenses
come in three shades (above).

ADVICE FROM THE EXPERTS ON TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF IN THE NEW YEAR
HOW TO
DEAL WITH
WINTER HAIR
Model Angela Lindvall,

photographed
by Regan Cameron
In winter, you may be

relieved to be frizz-free,
but with less moisture
in the air, your hair
is probably limp and
staticky. Heres how to
bring it back to life.
Hydrate. Dont add heavy
conditioner; itll weigh
down your hair. Instead,
rub a few drops of a dry
oil through the ends
when theyre wet and on
unruly spots after theyre
dry. Dry oils smooth
the hair without giving
you a drowned-rat look.
I love the Dove one.
Treat your clothes.
Coats, scarves, and
sweaters cause flyaways.
Run a dryer sheet over
them or spray on Static
Guard. For extra help,
spray Static Guard on
your brushit makes your
hair smooth and shiny.
Switch your part. If you
put on a hat when your
hair is warm from a
blowout, youll probably
get hat head. Wait until
your hair is cool (or blast it
with the cool setting). Flip
your part and dont pull
the hat all the way down.
When you take off your
hat, flip your hair back to
its usual side. INTERVIEW

Tip
If youre going to a
party and think
youll eat more than
a few bites, decide in
advance that this is
going to be your meal.
If you think of it as
a snack, youre more
likely to go out and
eat a full dinner later.
HOW TO EAT LESS

(WITHOUT GOING ON A DIET)
Strict diets are unsustainable for
most people. When we deprive ourselves of something, we tend to give
in and indulge in even more than
we otherwise would have eaten. But
making small changes to where and
how you eat can help you consume
fewer mindless calories.
Declutter. Our studies show that if
a kitchen is really messydirty dishes, cluttered counters, unopened
mailpeople will eat 44 percent
more snacks than people sitting in
an identical but clean kitchen. And
dont keep cereal on the counter.
People who do weigh an average of 21
pounds more than those who dont.
Rethink your dishes. If youre eating
light-colored food, dont serve it on
a white plate. Pick a darker, high32 Allure January 2015
contrast color so its more apparent

how much youre dishing out. You
should also stick to the theory that
smaller plates encourage you to eat
lessjust dont go too small. Plates
that are tinier than nine inches can
backfire because theyre so undersize
that people think its OK to go back
for seconds and thirds.
Look on the bright side. Even a
slightly negative mood can have a
huge impact on how many calories
you consume. But in one study, we
also found that mentioning one thing
youre happy about before mealtime
can decrease how much you eat by 11
percent. You can discuss something
youre thankful for, talk about the high
point of your day, or say what youre
looking forward to tomorrow.
Dont snack at your desk. We also

found that people who keep candy
in or on their desk weigh about 15.4
pounds more than those who dont.
On average, you only need one quarter of the snack you would typically
eat to feel happy and satisfied, so if
you need an afternoon pick-me-up,
get a small one. Then distract yourself
by making a few calls. After 15 minutes, youll remember eating something but wont recall how much.
Chew it up. Gum can interrupt your
cravings when youre grocery shopping because it reduces your ability
to imagine what a potato chip or ice
cream would taste like. We found that
shoppers who were chewing gum
bought 7 percent less junk food than
those who werent. ALEXANDRA OWENS

JET LAG
AND WEIGHT
luctuating sleep
patternsfrom
travel, night work, or
insomniacan lead
to weight gain, a
study explains. When mice
had sleep disturbances,
their digestive bacteria were
also disturbed, causing
an increase in microbes that
are believed to contribute
to impaired metabolism and
obesity in people. The good
news is that these effects are
preventable: Negative changes
in the bacteria happened only
when the mice with disrupted
circadian rhythms were
fed a high-fat, high-sugar diet,
says Robin Michelle Voigt, an
assistant professor of digestive
diseases and nutrition at
Rush University Medical Center
in Chicago. In addition to eating
wisely, exercising regularly
can normalize digestive bacteria
even if your sleep patterns
are erratic, she advises.
Caffeine may help bulk up

thinning hair. When scientists
treated weakened hair follicles
with a caffeine solution, the
speed of hair growth increased
by up to 25 percent, says
Tobias U. Fischer, a dermatologist
at the University of Lbeck in
Germany. Caffeine activates a
growth factor that helps prevent
hair cells from dying or going
into a dormant state, he explains.
Drinking coffee or applying it
to hair wont be helpful, though,
he says. Products with the optimal
formulation (such as Plantur 39
Caffeine Treatment for women)
are available in Europe.

RED WINE FOR BETTER TEETH

Drinking red wine may have an unexpected payoff for your teeth. When researchers dipped bacteria that cause cavities in pinot noir or water for two minutes, the
wine reduced bacterial growth. The effect was a result of not only alcohol but
also the polyphenols in red wine (which arent present in white). Along with having an antibacterial effect, polyphenols may inactivate proteins that help bacteria
form dental plaque, says M. Victoria Moreno-Arribas, a scientist at the Institute of
Food Science Research in Spain. (Pomegranate juice and grape juice derived from
purple Concord grapes contain these healthy compounds, too, though red wine
may have slightly higher concentrations, according to other research.) To prevent
stained teeth, rinse with water after drinking red wine, dental experts suggest.

In art, negative spacethe area that surrounds an object in an imageis integral to a balanced

out on full-on nail art, says manicurist Alicia Torello. This is a cleaner, chicer approach. One of those
crazy-nail-art burnouts is designer Misha Nonoo, who requested white polish with a stripe of naked
nail down the middle for her spring show. Leaving part of the nail blank gave it a three-dimensional
quality, says Nonoo. In other words, what you dont see is what you get. Sophia Panych

NEW YORK CITY

Gregory Patterson
The word: Originally known

for blowouts, Patterson
is gaining attention for his
ability to cut any texture
since joining this salon.
The place: Its not on the
most appealing stretch of
Fifth Avenue, the buildings
lobby is a bit shabby,
and the elevator is jumpy
but the salon is clean
and comfortable. It even
has a three-seat bar
where we sipped a decent
chardonnay while we
waited a few minutes for
our appointment.
The experience: We
always ask a new stylist for
a cut that doesnt look
too precise, along with
loose, rough curls. And we
always get short, blunt
ends and overstyled waves.
But Patterson broke
the pattern by giving us the
exact cut we asked for
and then finished it off with
a killer blowout. $150.

The place: Spanning two floors of the Loews Regency Hotel, the
space is big, light-filled, and truly serene.
The experience: The receptionist forgot us for about 20 minutes
while we waited (and waited), but once she realized her mistake
and apologized, things began to look up. Haliti suggested partial
highlights for our virgin brown hair. She swept on honey ribbons
around our face, then her assistant worked a gloss all over to lighten our base and blend the shades. The blowout cost $50 extra,
but the color had dimension and warmed our skin tone without
looking streaky. $250 and up (our bill: $250).
The experience: Schmidt
was friendly enough, but his

listening skills needed work.
We requested warm golden
highlights (think Gisele) and
instead walked out with platinum hair (think Gwen
Stefani). With no one available to blow-dry our hair, we
didnt even realize the full
extent of the error until we
got home, and then we immediately booked a color
correction at a different salon. $250 and up (our bill:

Fashion Week, where hes a
regular who has worked with
A-list stylists.
The place: This Meatpacking
District salon has a concreteand-steel look and a highenergy vibe bordering on
frenetic. Its populated with
some of the best hair stars in
the business who turn out
cool, textured cuts and impeccable color.
The experience: We wanted a
major change from our
shapeless, chest-length hair
but worried that a shorter cut
would look goofy with our
thick, wavy texture. Speck assured us that he could deliver
a style that wouldnt frizz or
pouf into a triangle. After a
very rushed shampoo (the
salon was packed with clients), he took off seven inches, then tackled the bulkiness with thinning shears,
producing the piecey, angled
look we were hoping for,
only approximately a hundred times better. $200.

way she wanted, as long as
she didnt cut it too short.
She snipped two inches from

The Power of Transformation

It preoccupied our culture long before the word makeover entered the lexicon.
Makeovers have been the subject of fairy tales (Cinderella), movies (from
Now, Voyager to The Hunger Games), and literature great and small (from Austen
to Shaw to Gillian Flynn). Its even become a potent political tool. (If I want to
knock a story off the front page, I just change my hairstyle, Hillary Clinton once
said.) The makeover is an attainable spin on rags to riches: Hidden beauty
is discovered, revealed, and rewarded. Every time we pass the mirror and ask
What if...? we are considering who we areand what we might become.

HAIR
Mullets on the runways, bowl cuts

on the red carpet, and comb-overs on
stylish girls everywherehow did the
dorkiest styles suddenly become
the ultimate in cool? Let us explain.
REBELS
PHOTOGRAPHED BY SEBASTIAN KIM
By Liana Schaffner
ullets are having a moment. So are

comb-overs, bowl cuts, and bangs so
short that they wouldnt cover a head
of baby lettuce. The phenomenon is so
widespread that it begs the simple question: Did a whole bunch of people lose a bet? The answer is hardly.
These eccentric looks arent just voluntarytheyve been validated,
and by some of the most influential names in fashion and beauty.
Its a complete shift in perception, says hairstylist Guido, the man
behind the new mullet, a style he brought back at the Marc Jacobs
fall 2013 runway show, which was then repeated in that seasons
ad campaign on model Edie Campbell. Were looking past the bad
connotations and seeing the cut for what it actually is: edgy, sexy, a
little boyish, and very flattering.
So how does a hairstyle go from being a failure of taste and
judgment to a symbol of irreverent chic? Proportionally, nothings
changed: The mullet is still long in back and short in front; the
bowl cut has kept its round, dorky symmetry; and the comb-over
is just shy of Trumpian. But these styles have an easier, less oblivious quality, thanks to tousled layers, airier textures, and carefully
considered hair color (be it extreme blonde or hyper-naturalistic
brunette). And while theyve gained some subtlety, theyve also lost
their ironythat campy, so-bad-its-good factor that made them
popular with hipsters and self-parodying types a few years ago. Just
consider Beyonc (the worlds only human to have never experienced an awkward phase) and her fling with micro bangs, a style
she embraced with cool aplomb. I love this hair; it inspires me,
says hairstylist Chris McMillan, whose clients have been requesting
shags and mullets in lieu of beachy waves. You have to own these
looksyou cant just whip them into a ponytail. And that takes guts.
WHAT DO INGENUES (AUDREY HEPBURN), SEX KITTENS (BETTIE

PAGE), AND SOCIAL OUTCASTS (THE GIRL WITH THE
DRAGON TATTOO) ALL HAVE IN COMMON? MICRO BANGS.
THEY ADD MAJOR EDGE TO ANY HAIRCUT. BUT WHATEVER
THE ATTITUDE, THE SHAPE REMAINS THE SAME: A SOFT ARC
THAT FALLS TWO INCHES FROM THE HAIRLINE.
COLOR THEORY
Mousy brown and
dishwater blonde may
sound like the haircolor equivalents of a
cardigan sweater,
but these average shades
have built-in attitude.
Every natural color has
an extreme element
or variation, says Aura
Friedman, a colorist
at Sally Hershberger
Downtown in New York
City. The trend right
now is to bring that out.
Lets call it normcore
hair colorshades so
average-looking theyre
cool. That means playing
up the weathered, ashy
tones in your blonde,
steering away from warm
chestnut in favor of a
cooler, duskier brown,
and converting flecks of
strawberry into a fiery
copper. The result is
an unbuttoned version
of your natural shade.
TAKING SIDES
A traditional comb-over
is carefully placed
to hide something, says
hairstylist Shay Ashual.
The opposite is
true of this version.

THE HIGH-LOW
The mullet consists of
two distinct parts:
long and short. But you
can ignore that fact.
The point is to make it
appear seamless,
says Ashual. Adding
more length in front
gives the mullet a
tapered quality, which
softens and updates it.

STEPS TO A STYLE
The New Ponytail
The New Blowout
The New Braid
It looks like a ponytail, it feels like

a ponytail, but this style is actually
a knot (inspired by skater girls
everywhere). Its a new way of
tying your hair in a ponytail without
using an elastic. Its just two
hairpins, and thats it, says Gilbert.
This hair looks effortless, fresh,

and youthful. Its like a teenager
who brushed her hair before
she washed it, then let it dry into
a natural wave, says Gilbert.
Did we mention you wont need
a round brush?
Take a loose French braid and pry it

apart with your fingersyou
get this messy, gorgeous basket
weave. The key is to braid the
hair up and away from the head,
rather than down and against
it, says Gilbert.
2
3
When hair is dry, mist on a

flexible-hold hair spray
(like LOral Paris Elnett Satin)
followed by a generous dose
of dry shampoo (like Redken
Pillow Proof Blow Dry Extender).
The hair should feel loose
and textured, like the day after
a blowout, says Gilbert.
Gather all of your hair at

the nape of the neck. Divide
it into two sections and loosely
twist them toward each other.
With two U-shaped pins at

the ready, hold the two
twisted sections of hair as if they
were shoelaces and tie them
in a double knot. Push the knot
against your head and secure
it with pinsallowing the loose
ends to fly out. (If you have
shoulder-length or shorter hair,
leave out a large chunk of hair from
the center of the bottom layers
before you twist and knot the two
sections. This will help give the
illusion of a ponytail. Otherwise it
will look like a knotted chignon.)
Loosen some hair around

your face. Give it all one
last shot of hair spray, grab your
longboard, and go.
62
Coat damp hair from roots

to ends with volumizing spray,
like Tigi Bed Head Superstar
Queen for a Day Thickening Spray,
then flip your head upside
down and rough-dry your hair
(just tousle with your fingers
no brush).
Once your hair is nearly dry,

twist small, two-inch sections
loosely like a rope. Using two
fingers as a guide, roll each section
down to your scalp and clip it
in place. Repeat until all your hair
is pinned like a roller set, and
mist everything with hair spray.
Once your hair is totally dry,

unravel the sections, shake out
your hair with your fingers, and
go to town with dry shampoo,
tousling it through the top
and bottom layers until your hair
takes on an airy texture.
Rub a dime-size dab of styling

cream, like Krastase Touche
Perfection Replenishing Balm,
through the ends to give them a
slightly more polished finish.
Then tuck a small section of hair
on one side behind your ear.
Saturate your dry roots with

volumizing spray and give yourself
a nice head massage as you blow-dry
the volumizing spray into your hair,
lifting and scrunching it off your head
to create height.
Mist the hair with dry shampoo
and gather it slightly off
center at the back of the head.
Heres where things get
interesting. Grab a chunk of hair
from underneath the right side, a
chunk of hair from underneath the left
side, and a chunk of hair from the top
center. You should now be holding
three sections that are ready to braid,
with plenty of loose hair below.
Begin the braid, crossing the left

section over the center and the
right section over that. As you start
your second rotation, add a bit of
hair from underneath, French-braid
style, and cross it over. Repeat this until
youve picked up all the loose hair
and have a beautiful, challah-like weave.
Knot the ends or secure them with a
thin, clear elastic.
Pull the braid apart from the

center until its big and loose, with
some pieces falling out. Finish
with light-hold hair spray and swing
it over one shoulder.
UPGRADE
The New Topknot

This fuzzy updo somehow manages
to be kooky and sophisticated
(and easy!) at the same time. Its
like a little nestand it gives
nice, flattering height, says Gilbert.
Mist your top and bottom

layers with hair spray, brush
all your hair taut to the very top
of your head, and put it in a
supertight ponytail.
Tease the living daylights out

of the ponytail with a brush
from the roots to the ends until it
has the texture of cotton candy.
Delicately squash all that

frothy hair down to the base of
the ponytail and secure it with a
few U-shaped pins (bobby pins will
make it look too controlled). Twist
and pull at the nest until it forms
a nice round shape, add a couple
more pins if necessary, and finish
with a decorative hairpin through
the center. Gilbert used her
own creation, an Odile Hair Pin With
Pearl (odilegilbertcreations.com).
Massage your temples and all

around your hairline with your
fingers to free some fine baby hairs
and soften the look. Finish with
you guessed ita light coating of a
light-hold hair spray.
The New
Headband
A thin black headbandor
twoadds shape and contrast to
a softer fabric underneath (and
prevents anyone from assuming
you just left a Spinning class).
Position a one-inch headband

of any color (you get a gold star
if it matches your outfit) a half-inch
back from your hairline. Add two
thinner, black headbands (Scnci
makes them) directly on top of it.
Dont worry if theyre not perfectly
straight; it looks cooler if theyre
not. Black brings out the color of
the other headbandits always
a good choice, says Gilbert.
Back-comb the hair directly

behind the headbands with
a teasing comb for a bit of volume,
then lightly brush all the hair to
the center of the back of the head,
making sure that the outermost
layer of hair is smooth. Secure
all the hair in a ponytail with an
elastic. On your last rotation of
the elastic, pull the tail only
halfway through to form a loop.
THESE STYLES
ARE SPONTANEOUS,
CAREFREE, AND
SEDUCTIVE
ITS FREEDOM HAIR,
SAYS GILBERT.
Tuck the loose ends of the

loop through the black
headband at the nape of your neck.
This makes the hair follow
the line of the neck, so it looks
elegant, says Gilbert.

PHOTOGRAPHED BY ALEXI LUBOMIRSKI
he was a human emoji before anyone knew what

an emoji was. At age 15, Demi Lovato was a professionally adorable creature marketed by the Disney
machine, all visible wholesomeness and gollygee-ness. Her first job was at age 8 on Barney &
Friends. She wound up dating a Jonas brother who
was her costar in a Disney TV musical. But right
from the start, Lovato was different from the rest
of the tween stars to come out of that 2000s boom.
Take any of those highly trained Disney graduates who flit from acting to singing to fill-in-theblankseemingly searching for the shortest route
to fame. Their high priestess may be Miley Cyrus,
who adds a level of outrageous behavior that
almost overshadows her impressive voice. Lovato,
however, is singularly focused. She has the kind
of pure, muscular voice that fills a room. She
has been compared to Pat Benatar and Christina
Aguileraand not just for her skill and range.
When Lovato opens her mouth, there is undeniable power. Its a voice that has something to say.
Now consider that her first album came out
when she was 16, when she had no life experiences to go with the gravitas of her voice. But the life
experiences found her. Lovato struggled with bullying, drugs, bulimiathose particular kinds of
troubles that seem to find young, famous people.
In 2011, she cleaned up and spoke candidly
about her problems, and now she has more than
25 million Twitter followers rooting for her. I
acknowledge the past, she says. Yes, it happened,
but Ive told this story a million and one times. Its
time for a new chapter in my life.
The new chapter opens with a solo tour (for
her most recent album, Demi). Her voice is nearly
shot when we meet the day after she performed for
66
thousands of Lovatics at the Barclays Center in

Brooklyn. In a few weeks, she will be off to Istanbul
to kick off the European leg. Her new beginning
also includes a role as a spokeswoman for NYC
New York Color and a collection of skin-care products. I wanted to create my dream products, she
says of the line, Devonne by Demi (Devonne is
her middle name). Although she says her sobriety
has improved her appearanceYour skin does
not look good when youre using drugs, she says,
arching an eyebrowLovato hardly skimped on
her skin care at the worst of times. I always had
a pretty strict skin-care regimen. I cant go to bed
without taking off my makeup, she says.
All evidence points to her new ability to navigate the child-star-to-adult transition. Im getting
more confidence in my body, says the woman who
brought SoulCycle bikes on tour with her. As Ive
gotten older, Im fine showing my cleavage. And
tight-fitting stuff is fine, but short shorts, short
skirts, short dressesnobodys ever comfortable
in that. If you are, then you probably live on a
beach, and all you wear is a bikini.
After her lips have been painted plum, her
skin burnished with bronzers, her hair sprayed
and teased to defy gravity, Lovato is thrilled. Of
the looks she tried for this shoot, she says, I just
loved themthey were fitting for a woman who
has struggled and grown up.
For now, Lovato isnt taking anything for
granted. Staying healthy is still new and fragile
for her. I didnt know how I was going to celebrate turning 21, she says. I went to Africa to get
away from Hollywood. It was incredible. It meant
so much to me that I got this tattoo on my arm.
She pulls up her sleeve to show me the faint outline of the continent needled on her right forearm. It was life-changing. She smiles faintly and
rests her cheek in her hand. Lovato needs a nap.
And Europe is waiting.

Complexion
Perfection
Hope in a jar? Please. Skin care in the year 2015 is about visible,
quantifiable results, and we have the pictures to prove it. By Elizabeth Siegel
e love to quantify every step

of our lives. We want to know
the number of steps weve taken since we got out of bed,
the precise number of friends
who like our new Alexander
Wang booties, and the minutes
remaining until our Uber pulls up. Weve come to expect
instant progress reports from a single tap. (And thats all
before we even get to the office.) Our skin-care routine,
however, still leaves us craving feedback. We approach
new products with high hopes and even higher expectations, but how can we be sure theyre delivering?
The variety and efficacy of skin-care ingredients has
grown exponentially in the last five yearsand so have
our expectations for visible results, says Anne Chapas,
a dermatologist in New York City. What hasnt evolved is
our ability to assess those results at home with a method
more effective than peering into a magnifying mirror.
And then, of course, even potent ingredients arent guaranteed home runs. Changing your skin is about finding
the right combination of products, rather than one miracle cream, and the ideal mix isnt always obvious, says
Francesca Fusco, a dermatologist in New York City.
The case studies on these pages may change all this.
Each one put a doctor-designed routine for a common
skin concern to the test over 12 weeksand we mean really put it to the test. We used skin-imaging technology from
Canfield Imaging Systems to capture and quantify what
our eyes cant see. A high-resolution camera uses special
lenses and filters to assess changes in wrinkle and pore
size and UV damage both above and below the skins surface. But thats not even the coolest part: The same imaging technology is now available on the new SkinBetter app
(and also at allure.skinbetter.com). With a quick selfie,
you can know for sure whether your skin is improving
with your latest routine or whether that new face cream is
worth the hype. Lets run the numbers, shall we?

Fine Lines
Kerith Knechtel, 34 First, some good news: Fine lines, like the ones around Knechtels eyes, are
superficial enough to minimize at home, says Chapas. But the creases on her forehead are caused
by muscles deep under the skin, and theyre more difficult to correct with skin care alone.
What the dermatologist says: The best anti-aging ingredients work even better if you combine them. I advised
Kerith to apply a moisturizing hyaluronic acid serum under
two formulas that smooth lines by building collagen: Eau
Thermale Avne Rtrinal H.A.F. Firming Gel with retinol and
Neocutis Journe SPF 30 with growth factors, says Chapas.
Overnight, she put gentle retinol formulas from RoC on her
face and eyesmore-potent formulas could have exacerbated
her dry skinand another cream with growth factors from
Neocutis. Chapas also recommended that Knechtel use a
Masque Bar hydrating sheet mask at least twice a week to
improve the dryness that was making her lines more noticeable. After three months, I could see an improvement in the
fine lines around Keriths eyes, says Chapas. But the deep
wrinkles on her forehead didnt changethats in keeping
with what over-the-counter skin care can realistically do.
What the patient says: I used to only use moisturizer, so
I thought Id never remember everything, says Knechtel.
But now I love the SkinCeuticals serum and the Masque Bar
maskboth make my skin so glow-y. My skin looks much
fresher now, the lines around my eyes and lips are softer, and
my skin is brighter and more even overall.

Anna Pacewicz, 39 If youve ever pretended sun spots were freckles, Pacewicz can relate: But
mine kept getting darker and darker, until I realized they were officially age spots, she
says. Then I had a baby, and during my pregnancy, I got a dark patch on my forehead, too.
What the dermatologist says: Melasmadark patches
caused by hormonal changes, like pregnancyis one of the
most difficult skin issues to treat at home, says Fusco, who
built this routine around the three types of products that
work best on deep pigmentation: exfoliators, brightening
serums, and sunscreen. When you exfoliate with a glycolic acid night cream and a weekly alpha and beta hydroxy
acid peel, brightening ingredients penetrate better. I chose
SkinMedicas Lytera serum for Anna because its blend of vitamin C and retinol is reliably effective. And since UV exposure makes spots worse and treatments pointless, sunscreen
is a must. Supergoop is so light, its easy to wear every day,

says Fusco. And Pacewicz did, religiously. The proof? Both
Annas melasma and sun spots faded significantly after three
months, and theyll continue to diminish if she sticks with the
program, says Fusco. The redness on her nose and cheeks,
which often accompanies brown spots because its also caused
by sun damage, went away completely.
What the patient says: I sat down with the list of products and thought, God, this is a lot, says Pacewicz. But she
warmed to the routine as her spots started to fade and her
skin became smoother and more radiant.

Dullness
Scarlett Kim, 34 After a late night, most peoples skin looks dull and dry. But for Kim, thats how
mine has started to look all year round. I want the dewy look I always see in magazines.
What the dermatologist says: The
tried-and-true formula for glowing

skin is exfoliating and moisturizing
and Kims regimen was supercharged
on both counts. She used Philosophys
peel twice a week to lift away dead skin
and then put on a really rich hydrating
mask from First Aid Beauty immediately afterward, says Fusco. And
each morning, she wore not one but
two moisturizers (a Vichy serum and
a Patricia Wexler M.D. moisturizer).
The cream traps the serum against

the skin for better penetration and
a dewier finish, says Fusco. Before
bed, Kim applied either a serum with
skin-brightening botanicals (Jurlique
Purely Bright Radiance Serum) or a
retinol cream (SkinMedica Retinol
Complex .25). Retinol clears pores and
builds collagenand smoother, firmer
skin looks more luminous. But retinol
can also be irritating if you overdo it, so
she alternated it with Jurliques serum,
says Fusco. At the end of three months,

Scarletts complexion looked much
healthier and more radiant.

OK, now try this game yourself: Name

the new generation of classics, the
modern icons of fragrance created in
the last 25 or so years. Not so simple,
right? Back in the days when Coco
Chanel and Jacques Guerlain ruled,
there were only a handful of new
scents a year. Now we are spoiled for
choice, with more than 600 launches
in 2013, ever more independent luxury brands, and ubiquitous celebrity fragrances (J.Lo alone has 23).
There are clones of clones of clones,
oceans of fruitiness, rivers of rose
petals, seas of oud.

makes a classic, he insists. Victoria

Frolova, the influential creator of
the blog Bois de Jasmin, suggests
that such a scent must not only exert
a hold over the faithful and attract
a steady stream of converts but also
inspire a generation of creators to riff
on its brilliance. And to Calice Becker,
the perfumer who dreamt up Dior
JAdorewhich many say belongs on

have the right name, the right bottle,
the right PR, a broad appeal, and a very

Despite the diversity of definitions, there is one thing that practically everyone in the perfume universe
agrees upon: The scent at the top of
the modern pantheon, the heir to
No. 5 in terms of influence and appeal,
is Thierry Mugler Angel. Created in
1992 by Olivier Cresp and Yves de
Chiris, it is still a best-seller after two
decades and meets every criterion:
originality, popularity, inspiration.
Redolent of cotton candy, caramel,
and chocolate and offered in a blue,
star-shaped bottle, it popularized the
gourmand category virtually on its
own, sending perfumers in an entirely
new direction and spawning countless
imitators, some of which are now considered classic themselves.

launched; some swooned, but many
dismissed it as vulgar and over-thetop. They said it was like burnt sugar, that they could make it in their
own kitchen, recalls Antoine Lie,
the perfumer behind a slew of scents
for Comme des Garons and the cult
favorite Etat Libre dOrange. But the
polarity of the reaction, experts say,
is a key element in the making of a
classic. There is a thin line between
an epic failure and an icon, says Lie.
You have to be shocking, radical, to
take risks. Most of the time you fail,
but then there is that one time that it
tips over the line to perfection.
Angel also retains a special place
in the hearts of hard-core perfumistas because it was not marketed like
a traditional department-store blockbuster. Mugler insisted on dispensing
with the movie-star spokesmodels
and enigmatic, artsy television spots.
Knowing it was an avant-garde scent,
his parent company instead financed
a now-legendary tour across Europe,
hauling fragrance experts into key
cities and towns to explain the elements of the perfume. It took about
three years for Angel to catch on
which was a good thing. It was a slow
burn, and that meant it infused itself
into the consciousness in a really
deep way, says Becker.
So potent is the legacy of Angel that

lap? This is actually one of the great

debates in the perfume world. Purists
say no (To me, Angel is the true
innovation, says Becker), but others
dismiss such talk. Virtually nothing
in perfume is new at this point, they
remind us. Coco Mademoiselle is a
twist on Angel, but Mitsouko was a twist
on Coty Chypre and nobody is complaining about that, says Frolova.
Even the toughest critics, however,
concede that the creation of a classic
is often a matter of evolution. Case
in point: LEau dIssey by Japanese
pleat master Issey Miyake. Created
in 1992 by Jacques Cavallier and
still selling strong around the world,
it launched the trend toward fresh,
aquatic elixirsnow quintessential
summer favoritesbut its marine
roots can be traced to New West, a
1990 Aramis womens scent by Yves
Tanguy that never really caught on,
and Calvin Klein Escape, created the
following year. New West was just too
much, too alienating in its revolutionary feeling, and Escape seems a little
unbalanced, with too many fruity
notes, says Francis Kurkdjian, the
creator of Maison Francis Kurkdjian
(and mainstream scents including
Dior Eau Noire and Giorgio Armani
Armani Mania). LEau dIssey
brought it all together, so it was the
one that became timeless.
True classics, experts say, are intimately connected to their time while
also, paradoxically, able to transcend
it. Otherwise they are merely a passing fancy, shoved to the back of the
dressing table once the moment has
passed. Bulgari Eau Parfume au Th

tea revolution, with its Zen overtones
and minimalist elegance wrapped in
citrus and violet wood. Created by

turned out to be an enduring cultural
force, which may explain the scents
resonance. Sometimes you have the
combination of timing and execution,
and the world is in tune with you,
says Becker. You cant plan for that.
If classics must, by definition,
stand the test of time, ten years is
probably just enough to reach the
threshold. One of the newest legends
is Narciso Rodriguez for Her. Created
by Kurkdjian and Christine Nagel in
2003, the scent tapped into another emerging sensibility still going
strong: the sophisticated young womans desire for clean yet sexy simplicity. The nouveau chypre is a radiant
floral update of a very traditional
accord that had fallen out of fashion.
It was designer Narciso Rodriguezs
muse, Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, who
planted the seed for the fragrance in
the designers imagination after she
fell in love with a musk shed bought
from a New York City street vendor.
Narciso for Her brought together the
lush and also the very minimal in a
distinctive combination that is still
relevant, says Kurkdjian.
The most polarizing debate among
fragrance experts is whether a scent
truly has to upend the status quo to
achieve greatness, or if its enough to
simply be unspeakably beautiful and
flawlessly executed. Thats the quandary presented by JAdore. Arguably
the most likable scent in the world,
it is also one of the most controversial in any discussion of what makes a
classic. Maybe JAdore is just too successful, its ad campaign with Charlize
Theron too lavish, and its reach too
broad to impress real fragrance junkies. But there is little question that

When it was being developed,
Beckers floral-fruit blend was
famously put up against four other contenders for a major launch by
Dior; every focus group chose JAdore
by a comfortable margin, though
there were more challenging, more
radical entries, insiders say. I think
that was because it was an instant
pleasure, says Becker. It had a lot
of points of entry. While JAdore is
not disruptive by any measure, it has
remained a superstar for 16 years,
beloved for its radiance and clarity,
achieved without sacrificing sillage,
that trail of dreams left behind in the
room. Such harmony itself may be
the key to its iconic reputation.
Perhaps the ultimate rule for what
achieves classic status is that there are
no hard and fast rules. You can say
that an icon has to be shocking, says
Frolova. But sometimes it can just be
shockingly good.

pulling it upward, while remodeling the tissue through

another incision that runs downward to the base of the
breast. In some cases, the procedure requires an additional small horizontal incision at the base. Many women dont want scars on this part of the body, but they are
unavoidable, says William P. Adams, Jr., an associate clinical professor of plastic surgery at the University of Texas
Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas.
Just as a hidden steel wire can offer support in a bra,
surgeons have experimented with everything from silk
to synthetic skin to make sure these results last. One of
the most promising materials is GalaFlex, an absorbable polymer that is spun into a strong filament and then
woven into a mesh that is four to five times stronger
than the natural breast. We put a crescent-shaped piece
of it in the lower pole of the breast, and the mesh goes
away in one to two years, leaving behind the patients
own tissue that has grown into it, explains Adams, who
is testing the material (which is FDA approved but still
being studied). The mesh isnt cheap, howeverit can add
$1,500 to a standard breast lift.
In 30 breast lifts that Adams has performed with
GalaFlex, patients had stretching of just 10 percent after
one year, versus twice that in the control group. As with all
breast-lift procedures, there is the possibility of relapse,
or bottoming out, which occurs because the skin and
ligaments holding up the newly lifted breasts have already
stretched once, before the operation, and may do so again.
Approximately one in ten women requires a second operation, but individual surgeons with lots of experience
report much lower rates of relapse.
Amanda, a 34-year-old financial-services consultant,
took part in a GalaFlex clinical study a year and a half
ago. I had misgivings about cosmetic surgery, she says.
Before I had the operation, people said to me, Why change
your body? Its so easy for others to say that. But we live
in a world where appearance matters. After her surgery,
though, Amanda is thrilled. I bought a red bikiniwith-

n the popular conception of breast surgery,

women who seek out the operating room are
generally there for the breasts they never had.
Whether you always wanted the top half of
your hourglass to be bigger or smaller, there
was a surgical option for you. Now another
group of women is growing rapidly. In the
past 16 years, the number of patients opting for breast lifts has risen almost 600 percent, according to the American Society for
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. This suggests that
the newest trend in breast surgery isnt the quest for what
you never had, but instead for what youve lost. Patients
say, I want my own breasts back, says Christina Y. Ahn,
an associate professor of plastic surgery at NYU Langone
Medical Center in New York City.
This desire to undo the work of gravity usually begins
with noticeable sagging. Essentially, the envelope of
skin encasing the breast and the ligaments beneath have
stretched; the filling has shrunk, giving a pancake shape;
and the nipple is facing down rather than straight ahead,
says Roger K. Khouri, a former professor of plastic surgery
at Washington University in St. Louis, who now practices
in Miami. Pregnancy and breast-feeding can speed up this
migration southward, and so can weight loss, since fat is a
major component of many womens breasts.
Breast-lift surgery, or mastopexy, is an attempt to reverse
the process by cutting away excess skin, redistributing the
filling, and restoring the original projection of the breast
and the methods of doing that successfully represent a new
era of innovation. Doctors perform mastopexies either
alone or combined with a breast reduction or augmentation. They may use synthetic mesh, barbed threads, or the
patients own skin to support the breast on the bottom and
fat suctioned from other parts of the body to add fullness
on top. Patients often actually lose a cup size, according to
a review of 20 mastopexy cases published in Plastic and
Reconstructive Surgery last summer.
In most cases, the surgeon raises the nipple by making
a semicircular incision along the top of the areola and

out an underwire. Ive not been able to do that since high
school. My breasts are back where they belong.
Doctors are using another technique that shows promise
in women who have limited saggingmeaning their nipples
are no more than an inch or so below the base of the breast.
Called Refine, it supports the breast from within. Two
strong, partially barbed sutures are placed vertically in each
breast so they form an upside-down hammock. They are
anchored at the top with a small incision over each breast,
below the clavicle. Once implanted, the barbs on the lower ends of the threads catch some tissue and can be raised
until the nipple on each side is set at the desired height.
Refine raises the sagging breast
and provides more volume in
the upper area, says Jack Fisher,
an associate clinical professor

University Medical Center in

As in all surgical procedures,
experience with the technique is
important because, according to the manufacturer, while
the threads can be easily adjusted or removed during the
procedure, removing them later can be difficult. Though
Refine is a virtually scarless proceduresomething women wantbarbed sutures used in recent years for face-lifts
were problematic, causing pain and sometimes asymmetrical results, and were abandoned, so some surgeons are
taking a wait-and-see approach.
Also showing promise is an all-natural method for subtly
reshaping the breasts for those with an aversion to silicone.
The process of injecting a woman with her own fat was
banned in 1987 because of unpredictable results and the
formation of calcification cysts in the breasts that caused
false positives in cancer screenings. But with advances in
mammography technology, that ban was lifted in 2009,
and the practice has resumed. Today, most doctors say that
fat injections alone are not enough to lift the breast, but
the results when fat is used in conjunction with a surgical
lift are impressive. It can fill out the upper portion of the
breast and create better cleavage, says Ahn.
Some surgeons start their patients out with an off-label
use of Brava, a vacuum device that is approved by the FDA
for breast enlargement, to increase blood supply and create
a space for fat that has been suctioned from the patients
back, hips, or thighs. This is painstaking work: Injecting

the fat into precisely the right spots to create naturallooking contours takes up to one and a half hours (at a cost
of around $900, in addition to the surgeons fees, with a
national average of $4,200, plus operating-room and anesthesia charges). The risks, though small, include the calcification cysts (which doctors now consider harmless) and
lumpiness. Another factor: The added volume in the breast
can fluctuate with weight gain and loss.
There are, of course, many women who still undergo
traditional breast lifts without mesh or injections. Missy,
a 34-year-old full-time mother, is one. I had nursed two
kids. I felt deflated and matronly, she says. I hated bra
shopping. I was always looking for the perfect push-up
bra. She was relieved when her doctor, Michael Law, a
plastic surgeon in Raleigh, North Carolina, told her that
she had enough tissue in her breasts for a surgical lift that
would not require an implant or added fat.
Fifteen months after the surgerya two-hour procedure under monitored sedation (though general anesthesia
is often used)Missy says she no longer needs an underwire bra. At size 34C, she is one cup smaller than before
the surgery. Her scars are faint after six treatments with a
pulsed-dye laser and six months of daily use of a silicone
gel. And more than one year after the operation, she is also
out of the risk zone for early relapse. The biggest reward of
Missys breast lift, however, is the way she feels about herself. I can wear sundresses without a bra again, she says.
I feel more feminine, more comfortable in clothing, in a
bathing suitand in my naked body.

Scientists have issued a wake-up
call: You can stop worrying
about how many hours you get
and start focusing on how
well you sleep. By Ramona Emerson

that good sleep, like everything else, is more about
quality than quantity. There is no magic metric for
how much sleep people need, says Safwan Badr, a former president of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. The important thing is to stay in bed long enough
to pass through several distinctly different phases of
sleep that, together, promote the rest and recovery we
need for the day ahead (see Rhythms of the Night on
page 93). Fortunately, there are things you can do to get
more out of your time in bed: Our guide to everything
you need to know to ensure peaceful nights of quality

How Much Do You Need?

While most adults do best on eight hours of sleep, some need
ten, and a very small numberless than 1 percent of the
populationfeel fully rested after six, says Lewis. For the best
estimate of your personal quota, you need to determine how
many hours of sleep you require to wake up without an alarm
clock. Take a weekend off from nighttime activities to
create your own personal sleep-monitoring clinic. On Friday
night, go to sleep at your usual time and let yourself wake
up naturally. This wont be your optimal sleep duration, since
youll probably sleep longer to make up for weekday
sleep deprivation. Saturday night is the true test. Go to sleep
at your regular time and wake up again without an
alarm clock, Badr suggests. Thats your optimal sleep time.
Rhythms of the Night

If you were to put electrodes all over your head and observe
yourself as a scientist does in a sleep lab, a blissfully restful
night of sleep might look something like this:
Youre actually asleep before you even know it. You know
that feeling when youre lying in bed thinking about tomorrows
work presentation and all of a sudden a moose walks in?
Thats stage one. Not quite solid sleep, but getting there.
After about ten minutes, stage two, or true sleep, begins.
You start to have bursts of frenetic brain-wave activity
what experts refer to as sleep spindleswhich are thought
to strengthen and preserve memory.
About 30 minutes later (the timing can vary), you slide
into the deepest stage of the night, stage three. This is when
something called slow-wave sleep begins. If your brain
waves are frenzied when youre awake, during slow-wave sleep
they become slow and steady, as the neurons in the
cortex of your brain begin firing in sync. The most physically
restorative type of sleep, this stage is important for
immune function, cell regeneration, and metabolism.
The sleep cycle ends with one more vital stageREM,
short for rapid eye movement. If slow-wave sleep benefits
the body, REM is for the mind. In one study, people who
reached REM sleep while taking a nap did almost 40 percent
better on a creativity test than those who did not. Its when
most of our dreams take place, which may explain why all
but a few muscles are partially paralyzed during REM.
(Otherwise, you might literally jump out of bed during a
nightmare.) We resolve things during REM sleep. We
clean our memory filters and keep the important facts and
get rid of the inconsequential ones, says Walsleben.
This whole cycle lasts about 90 minutes and repeats four
or five times throughout the night, with more slow-wave
sleep early on and REM increasing as morning approaches.
Mind and body are equally refreshedunless something
interrupts the cycle. Alcohol, for example: Alcohol disrupts
the later parts of the cycle. This may partly explain the
emotional hangover after a night of drinking, since REM is
thought to be critical in mood regulation.
The Right Stuff

Feeling like a zombie is one clue that you spent
the night tossing and turning, but its not the only
way to tell if you slept soundly.
How long does it take you to wake up? Waking up
without an alarm clock is a sign that you slept
welland dont worry if you still feel a little groggy.
Your brain is in a very different chemical state
when youre asleep, says Lewis. Feeling fuzzyheaded for 30 minutes while your brain transitions
to being awake is fine, but if youre out of it for
much longer, then your sleep wasnt restful,
says Kristen Knutson, an assistant professor of
medicine at the University of Chicago.
How sleepy do you feel during the day? Its normal to
feel tired at different points throughout the day.
Whats not normal is to feel so sleepy that you cant
perform normal daytime tasks. If youre fully rested,
youre going to stay awake even if youre in the most
boring lecture. But if you have trouble staying awake
in situations when youre sitting down, youre not
getting enough sleep, says Knutson.
How many times do you wake up at night? Waking up
during the night is normal. Doctors call it arousal,
and most people do it up to five times an hour for a
few seconds and for a few minutes between sleep
cycles. Its only a problem if youre waking up more
than ten times per hourand notice it the next day.
Fragmented sleep can lead to daytime sleepiness
and could be a sign of sleep apnea, says Meir Kryger,
a professor of medicine at Yale School of Medicine.
Light or Heavy?
If youve always assumed that people who say they
slept through their alarm are liars, youre
probably a light sleeper, and that might have to do
with what is going on, or rather not going on,
in your brain. When researchers exposed sleepers to a
variety of soundsa toilet flushing, street noise, an
airplane overheadthey found that staying asleep was
associated with the bursts of intense brain activity
(sleep spindles) that sleepers had experienced.
The researchers theorized that spindles are one way
that the brain keeps outside sensory information from
waking you up. Unfortunately, we sleep less as we
age. Ever notice how you can practically stand a
newborn on her head without waking her up but your
parents deliver a breakfast-table play-by-play of their
nighttime awakenings? While theres no way to train
yourself to be a deeper sleeper, you can try to
block as much outside stimulation as possible. The
best way to do this without moving to a soundproofed
home is to wear earplugs, since ambient noise
is the most common cause of sleep interruption.
Music with a slow, stable rhythm and low-frequency tones can

significantly improve sleep quality, according to a recent study.
Bedphones makes headphones specifically for sleeping; theyre thin and
pillowy, and the cable goes behind your head so you dont strangle
yourself. An app detects when you fall asleep and turns the music off.

THE
COMFORT
ZONE
Jennifer Aniston is laid-back

and fired up. She speaks out
about her risky upcoming movie,
the hurtful motherhood
comments, and why, exactly,
she calls herself a feminist.
By Brooke Hauser
ennifer Aniston has a way of connecting with women. On the Today show
this summer, she addressed some of the
questions that people have been asking
her for years: When will she get married?
When will she have a baby? In a friendly,
candid tone, Aniston told Carson Daly, I
dont have this sort of checklist of things
that have to be done...and if theyre not
checked, then Ive failed some part of
my feminism...or my value as a woman.
Within minutes, fans took to the Internet
to tweet their support: Amen, Sista!; Thats feminism, go
girl!; Thank you, Jennifer Aniston.
Every once in a while, when she decides to comment on
a relationship or quash a persistent rumor, Aniston says
something that really sticks. And I dont have a checklist
is as good an answer as any, not that Aniston is worrying
about hitting any marks. She and her fianc, actor-directorwriter Justin Theroux, celebrated Therouxs forty-third
birthday and their two-year engagement in Bora Bora,
where she went paddleboarding.
Life is pretty good for Aniston, 45, who, along with Theroux, just completed renovations on their home in Los Angeles. The house is much like Aniston herself: guarded on the
outside, but open and welcoming to those she invites in. A
few minutes into our interview, it becomes clear that her
living roomwith its minimalist decor, stocked bar, and
enormous windowsis first and foremost about living. And
sometimes life gets messy. Watch outincoming! Aniston
shouts, seconds before her pit bull mix, Sophie, charges
the couch and licks my chin. Maybe its all those years of
reading about her and watching her on TV (hard to believe
94
that Friends first aired two decades ago), but theres something about Aniston that inspires kinship. At times, you
just want to high-five her or give her a hug. Aniston doesnt
court a following; she simply attracts it. Lately, she has been
embracing that in a new wayand now shes taken seriously
as both a businesswoman and an actress.
You want to obsess over her hair? Be her guest, and join
the good-hair club. Aniston is a co-owner of and spokeswoman for Living Proof, a beauty company founded by
biotech scientists who, as she puts it, decided while curing
cancer and heart disease, Lets figure out womens bad-hair
days. Shes not kidding. With roots at MIT, the company
includes scientists from backgrounds in cancer research.
New this month: Living Proof Curl, a line of products
promising to help curly hair hold its shape without frizz.
Anistons hair is naturally curly, though in the past she
usually wore it straight because controlling the texture was
so arduous. I mean, the amount of crap that Id have to load
up, layering different products and going down to the ocean
and getting some water bottles filled with beach water [to
spray on it]. That would work. But how often are you near a
beach?... Its nice to let it go raw and animal. You just have to
have the right product, says Aniston, who mentions some
of Living Proof s lab tests for the line. For one, the scientists used water bottles to simulate a rainstorm by spritzing
two locks of curly hair that had been treated with two different products: Living Proof Curl Defining Styling Cream
and a competitor. Ours stayed bouncy and curly, she says,
clearly proud of it. Its nice when something works and
does what it says its going to do. A bad-hair day really can
set you off on the wrong foot, as can many other things, but
its nice when you get the good hair down, because that way
you can focus on all the other things that are going wrong.

r the other things that are going

right. For instance, her relationship with Theroux, who, by the
way, loved her hair when it was
short. (He thought it was sexy,
says Aniston, who has stepped out
in a sharp bob occasionally over
the years.) Shes not the type to
flaunt her happiness by posting
lovey-dovey pics on Instagram, but that doesnt mean
that theyre not lovey-dovey. When Theroux comes home,
she brightens. He hangs out for a few minutes, just long
enough to play with Sophie and answer an impromptu
question. Id read that they do facial masks together on
Sunday nights. True?
Aniston: Yes, we do. We switch around. We do Cellcosmet.
Theroux: Its adorable.
Aniston: Its adorable. But hes honestly so comfortable in
his masculinity. As opposed to some guys, who would never
Theroux: Ride that line.
Aniston: You do. You ride the line, babe.
Theroux: Babe, we gotta do our masks. I never do that.
Aniston: [Smiling] No, you dont.
Aniston isnt so much an interview subject as she is an
improv partner, playful and on point. And although she
is known for that great, snap-crackle-pop comedic timing, not everyone knows that shes capable of being more
serious onscreen. Even though Rachel is a few stoplights
behind her, she still has to prove that she can play dramatic roles. I will say, it is not always easy to get certain people
to believe that you can do that, Aniston says. Sometimes
you have to work a little bit harder to get through.
In her upcoming film Cake, a low-budget drama that
she also helped produce, Aniston practically disappears
into the role of Claire, a woman trapped in chronic physical
and emotional pain after being in a car crash. It was unlike
anything Id ever done before, says the actress. So much of
the exercise was just letting yourself fall apart.
During filming, Aniston stopped wearing makeup, shaving, and looking in mirrors; she also had a large prosthetic
scar on her face. After the film premiered at the Toronto Film Festival, critics speculated that the role could get
her an Oscar nomination. Audiences love when a beautiful
actress downplays her looksHalle Berry in Monsters Ball
and Charlize Theron in Monsterbut Aniston, for one,
doesnt believe this aspect should be remarkable.
Its so interesting: A woman going physically unattractive is where you get recognition and some sort of
respect. You read things like, Oh, finally, shes acting!
Aniston scoffs. What does she make of the fact that so much
attention is paid to the physical appearances of actresses,
especially when they go without makeup for a role? Quite
sexist, to be honest, because men dont get that.
Aniston isnt one to preach, but when an issue is
important to her, shell speak up. She was unaware of
the recent buzz around the word feminism. When I ask
what she makes of the fact that certain young actresses
have rejected the label while others, including Emma Watson, have embraced it, Aniston just looks confused. How
can you say youre not a feminist? They dont believe in
equal rights? she asks. Right, Sophie? Aniston coos to
her dog. Youre a feminist, arent you?
Aniston has supported the cause both publicly and pri-

not being married or having children, and while she might

have bowed out of this sort of discussion a few years ago,
she seems ready to talk now.
I think Ive been guarded for so long because [Ive] been
burned so many times. You really do become gun-shy, she
says. But then at a certain point, who gives a shit?
The personal is political, as the saying goes, and when
youre as famous as Aniston, talking about your beliefs can
have real ramifications. At the very least, it can help change
the conversation, or so she hopes. Among the words shed
like to see retired: Spinster, barren, geriatric pregnancies, she says. We need to revisit the language!
It does feel like an unfair pressure [on] women, not
just myself, Aniston continues. I have a lot of friends
who decided not to have children, who cant have children,
or are trying but are having a difficult time. Theres all
sorts of reasons why children arent in peoples lives, and
no one has the right to assume. Its quite rude, insulting,
and ignorant, she says. I dont like [the pressure] that
people put on me, on womenthat youve failed yourself
as a female because you havent procreated. I dont think
its fair. You may not have a child come out of your vagina, but that doesnt mean that you arent motheringdogs,
friends, friends children.
In Anistons library, everywhere you turn, there are
pictures of family, friends, and children. And then there
are the dogs. Aniston and Theroux currently have three,
not counting...well, let her explain. These are all of our
dead dogs, she says, gesturing toward three urns stored
in the bookcase. A bit quirky, perhaps, but Aniston has
always done things a little differently, and in Theroux, she
seems to have met her match. Were equals, she says.
Hes a nurturer. He is so fiercely loyal. Beyond protective.
I mean, the way he takes care of our dogs, he takes care of
me, he takes care of friends.
When I ask about a comment she once madethat Theroux has good parental instincts (I meant paternal)she
goes into improv mode again. Oh, he does.... He feeds me;
he puts my bib on, she says, then turns sincere. Hes got
extraordinarily beautiful fatherly instincts.
As for her engagement, the impending nuptials feel
impending enough that the couples close friends have taken to showing up at their house in formalwear.
Its adorable. If we throw a little pizza party, we have
this couple...every time, they would come over in black
tie, or at least a proper suit; she was in a gorgeous dress.
It happened at a Fourth of July party. Were all in jean
shorts, and they came in going, Is it happening?! Aniston
squeals and laughs. There was a time when people thought
we were going to throw a party and surprise everybody.
No, shes not about to reveal her wedding plans. But, she
says, we do talk about it all the time. Before wandering
out onto the deck overlooking a serene pool and a private, winding path, Aniston says, I dont feel that if I dont
achieve the perfect picture of the white picket fence, the
little house with the family and the dogs, I have failed.
Its getting late. The sky is turning dusky, and Theroux
waves to us from his office, warmly lit. Taking in the views
of the glittering city and the Pacific Ocean shrouded in
fog, I float the idea that this might be better than the house
with the white picket fence.
It is a little bit, Aniston says, and smiles. Must be a
little bit better.
2002
With Liv Tyler at the filming of

MTV Icons: Aerosmith in Culver
City, California Thats Liv,
who I absolutely love and adore.
You couldnt find a kinder human
being. And Im introducing
Aerosmith. I auditioned for an
Aerosmith video when Id just
moved out here. [Steven Tyler]
is so sweet. We just sort of
became chatty fans of each
others. And now, since Liv and
Justin [Theroux] are on The
Leftovers, they hang out all the
time.... I dont even know what
[Im wearing], except that its
like a doily around my chest. I
just love how young and
whimsical it is. Couldnt really do
that today. Well, I mean, I could.
I just dont know if I would.
1998
With Paul Rudd in The Object
of My Affection Im dancing
where are we? Im pregnant
with his child. Right? Im actually
drawing a blank on what
happened [in the movie]. We
have fun. He lives in New
York. Whenever we can [get
together], we do.
2009
With Courteney
Cox at the
2010 Crystal +
Lucy Awards
in Century City,
California
This is my
uniform, right
there. Id gotten
back from
shooting Just
Go With It. I
dont think she
knew I was
even coming.
That was a Roland
Mouret dress.
I love it, worship
it. As I do that
woman Im
standing next to.
2010
With Ben Affleck in Hes Just Not That Into You

Ben. Hes so sweet. I love ensemble pieces.
Just because someone doesnt necessarily
believe in the institution of marriage,
which was his [character]...and what that
translated back to her was, I dont love you.
She had to leave to realize that its not the
institution that youre striving for; its the
love and the person that youre striving for.
2012
2014
With her
father,
receiving a
star on the
Hollywood
Walk of
Fame
Ah, Papa.
Handsome
Greek man.
Always has
a kerchief
if hes out
to a fancy
event. So
handsome.
2004
On Saturday Night
Live That was the
second time I hosted
SNL. I think this was
an ad for an album that
these country girls
were coming out with.
Thats some serious
curly hair. And look
at that outfit. Thats
fabulously tragic.
2011
2013
2012
With Paul Rudd and Justin Theroux in
Wanderlust Theres all of our gang.
[Justin and I] got to know each other in
this, but we met when he was writing
Tropic Thunder. But this is where we all
became really good friends. We got
together way after we shot this movie,
so whenever we come upon it, its so
weird; we werent even, like, thinking of
each other in those terms back then.
This is so funny when I look back.
With Gwyneth
Paltrow at a
Stand Up to
Cancer event in
Hollywood
Ive known her a
long time. That
woman has
got style to the
moon and back.
Chic, effortless,
gorgeous.
This sums us up.
Look, Im in a
T-shirt, jeans,
and 400-year-old
shoes, and
this one is just,
like, to a T.
Shes always been
sweet to me.
2013
With Chelsea Handler
at the Vanity Fair Oscar
party in West
Hollywood Thats my
girl. Not only funny but
kind, caring, loyal.
Thats a big red dress.
Felt like The King and I.
2014
In Cake Oh, pretty girl. Thats...

pain. Loss, trauma, chronic
pain, addiction. There is a good
person in there, but it is so
buried under pain, grief, drugs,
booze, and everything. I loved
her. I had such empathy for the
pain that she was in.
At an event
for her
fragrance
Jennifer
Aniston
in New
York City
Thats
Vivienne
Westwood.
Love that
dress. Bright
color, I
know. More
color than
Im used to
wearing.
Im holding
my first
perfume that
came out.
With Chris
McMillan at a
Living Proof
launch in New
York City Chris
is so adorably
awkward. He
makes me
happy. Very
good friends. I
love that dress.
Its loose and
comfortable.
Ive had that
shoe for way
longer than I
should admit.
Its over ten
years old. Yep. I
keep shoes for a
very long time.
2014
With Lisa Kudrow, Courteney Cox, and Jimmy

Kimmel on Jimmy Kimmel Live! This was
so much more exciting and moving than we
anticipated. We did not expect this set to
be as accurate as it was, and it was very surreal.
All the girls were game.

WHAT GETS
YOU ON
THE DANCE
FLOOR?
Celebrities are an extroverted buncha
tendency that extends to the dance floor.
We asked guests at the CFDA Awards,
Fashion Rocks, and the launch of Calvin
Klein Reveal what song gets them on their
feet. Iggy Azalea goes for something
ridiculouslike the Spice Girlsthat you
cant even dance to properly now. Then
the pressure is off me. Like-minded
stars include James McAvoy, who loves
Copacabana; Sting, a fan of Hot Pants
by James Brown; and Karen Elson. A Girl
Like You by Edwyn Collins, she said.
Its a 90s song because Im a 90s girl.
Kate Mara rocks to Miley Cyruss Bangerz
album, and Serena Williams swears by
Turn Down for What by DJ Snake and Lil
Jon. Neil Patrick Harris has a complicated
relationship with his number-one hit.
That song #Selfie is a disaster, but I cant
stop listening to it, he said. DJs, take note.
KOKOMO
BY THE
BEACH BOYS.
MILEY CYRUS
Katie Holmes
Rump Shaker.
Amber Valletta
Greta Gerwig
Heart of Glass
will always get me on
the dance floor.
If there is any
Hall & Oates,
Ill be out there.
Rashida Jones
Michael Jackson, Dont
Stop Til You Get
Enough. Classic
always works.
Marion
Cotillard
Lykke Li. And
anything
by Rihanna.
Oprah Winfrey
It would take an entire
marimba band to
get me up, because Im
so jet-lagged.
