Trends come & trends go. This season you certainly don't want to be caught in public looking like last year. I've read all the magazines for you & come up with the best & worst trends for winter.

1: Goodbye Helmet Head.

The less done your hair looks, the more 'in' you'll look. You'll notice trendy hair this season looks loose, wavy & fresh. To mimic it, throw out the hairspray, use a light mousse instead of gel to add texture & don't be afraid to let your roots grow out, just a bit.

2: Keep the self-tanner.

Yes, we love Nicole Kidman's porcelein skin too, but there's nothing sexier than a bronzed glow in the dead of winter.

3: Go smoky on the eyes, pale on the lips.

To get perfect smoky eyes, use brown shades if you're blonde, dark brown if you are brunette & deep purple or black if you have black hair (the best black is 'la femme hollywood'). Start with eyeliner, moving on to a dark eyeshadow, lightening as you go up the lid. A bit of shimmer on the inside corner of the eye & on the browbone gives you a super 'awake' look. Try Benefit High Brow ($18 at benefitcosmetics.com). Oh & don't be afraid to pile on the mascara. Applying multiple coats really does thicken.

4: Layer your favorite fragrances.

Sarah Jessica Parker created her own unique scent by layering 3 fragrances -- one super cheap, a man's musk & a fabulous rich scent. The result isn't her new 'Lovely' but she swears she's still trying to mimic her favorite scent. Parker's right on to a hot trend of the moment: layering two fragrances to create a new scent. How to do it? Take your favorite scent & layer a new one atop it. Try out several versions until you find your favorite mix.

5: Moisturize after every shower.

Skin left unmoisturized will itch, and itching (especially done when you're not paying complete attention) can cause scabs, which in turn can scar. In the shower, make sure you exfoliate your body thoroughly with a loofah. I like wearing those loofah gloves. Then when you get out & dry off, slather on the moisturizer.
