Insider Secret…To Brighten Your Skin
The secret to waking up with luminous skin? Dr. Dennis Gross’s expert skincare solutions line has two of my favorite products on the market: Ferulic Acid + Retinol Brightening Solution ($125) and Hydra-Pure Vitamin C Brightening Serum ($95).

Puffy eyes? After numerous crack-of-dawn starts on The Today Show or late nights on QVC, my secret for bright, revitalized eyes are Talika’s Eye Decompress ($32). It’s a travel-friendly, easy-to-useeye mask that instantly refreshes and soothes tired eyes.

Insider Secret…For Bright Eyes
Need to fake brighter, more beautiful eyes in seconds? Try this invaluable secret I learned decades ago from TV. Line just the inner rim of your eyes with a soft, nude (not white!) eye liner pencil. One of my favorites is Nars Larger Than Life in Rue Bonaparte ($23).

Insider Secret…For Luscious Lips
Look instantly better with a swipe of moisture-infused gloss in a complexion-warming sunny coral. I love Estee Lauder’s Pure Color Sequin Finish Gloss ($22.50).
It’s got a high gloss shine, numerous shades and hints of sequin glitter for a perfect pout that brightens up your whole face. Don’t let the glitter scare you—trust me, you won’t look like you’ve borrowed your teen’s lipstick.

Insider Secret…For a Sun-Kissed Complexion
Wake up dull, sun-starved winter skin with a shimmering bronzing powder. The trick is to lightly (don’t overdo it!) dust your cheeks and forehead with a large bronzer brush to brighten up your whole face. My favorite—which has a cult following—is Nars Bronzing Powder in Laguna ($34).
