When the weather outside is frightful and you want to look delightful: Cozy up to a sheer, glow-inducing foundation with a formula so light and coverage so blendable (and buildable), you'll sport the kind of radiance you get after a day on the slopes. Two terrific choices: Giorgio Armani Maestro Glow ($64; available in February at Sephora.com) and Yves Saint Laurent Le Teint Touche Éclat Foundation ($58; YSLBeautyUS.com). Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

This is as close to custom as mascara gets. The new Revlon Mascara Collection ($9 each; drugstores) makes it easy to find the formula and bristle shape that suit you best: Super Length, Volume + Length Magnified, Dramatic Definition, Ultra Volume or (if you're the type who wants a little bit of everything) Ultimate All-in-One. Talk about fringe benefits!
Eye, Eye!

Maison Francis Kurkjian The Fragrance Wardrobe for Her ($195 for set of eight; NeimanMarcus.com)

When it comes to short haircuts, it's all about texture.

2: R+Co Motorcycle Flexible Gel ($26; RandCo.com)
Great for creating piecey style without leaving a tacky residue.
3: Aveda Control Paste ($24; Aveda.com)
Builds body, adds texture and sheen.
