Favorite ingredients: "Vitamin C and grapeseed oil, which has a lot of nourishing properties. Also silicone, because it smoothes the complexion and adds a base to apply makeup over."

Ingredients I avoid: "Mineral oil. It clogs pores."

1. Pout-Plump lip gloss

• What I like about it: "I obviously don't need to plump my lips, but this clear gloss is hard to resist. It glides on to create a smoother appearance. The long-lasting, intense peppermint flavor increases circulation and makes your lips come alive."
• Where I found it: Sephora
• Price: $24

2. Lancome Juicy Tubes Ultra Shiny Lip Gloss

• What I like about it: "Okay, I admit it. I have a lip gloss obsession. These are great sheer colors and an ultra-glossy formula that's long lasting and smells/tastes yummy."
• Where I found it: Macy's, Neiman Marcus, Sephora
• Price: $16

3. Blinc Kiss Me Mascara

• What I like about it: "This unique formula coats and forms 'tubes' around the lashes. It holds a curl when dry and will not smudge, run, clump or flake. It's water resistant and easy to remove with the combination of water and pressure."
• Where I found it: Sephora
• Price: $24

4. Stila Sheer Color Tinted Moisturizer

• What I like about it: "It protects skin with an SPF of 15, provides moisture and sheer coverage in one step, evens out skin tone and calms redness. Excellent if you're going for a more natural look."
• Where I found it: Macy's, Sephora
• Price: $28

5. Sephora Super Smart Facial Moisturizer SPF 15

• What I like about it: "Sunscreen is an essential component of any beauty regimen. However, many of the combination moisturizer/sunscreen products I've tried have a less-than-desirable scent — but not this one. This moisturizer has a fresh citrus scent and contains an oil-free blend of super-dose antioxidants, proteins, amino acids, beta glucan, a mattifying cotton powder, plus anti-aging wine extract to keep skin hydrated, protected and looking gorgeous all day."
• Where I found it: Sephora
• Price: $20

Favorite ingredients: "Retinol creams to improve the surface of my skin. Silicone makes my hair look shinier and silkier, with the surface matte and smooth."

3. Island Soap & Candle Works' Hawaiian Botanical Body Lotion in Mango Coconut Guava

• What I like about it: "The texture is moisturizing, and the scent is tropical and island-like."

5. Revlon Age-Defying Light makeup with Botafirm & SPF 30

• Where I found it: Longs
• Price: $13

Willow Chang

Vocalist, dance instructor and Academy of Arts guide

Favorite ingredients: "I'm a sucker for the scents of frankincense, amber and coconut oil. Green tea is something I look for. 'Oil free' and 'hypoallergenic' are always pluses."

Tip: "I can't over-emphasize the importance of good tools, especially brushes. I can't live without my Mason Pearson hairbrush. Although it's pricey (the brushes range from $60 to $125 at Neiman Marcus) it's just so healthy for your hair."

Ingredients to avoid: "Alcohol! I only buy something with alcohol if it's at the bottom of the ingredients list. I also avoid products that say 'long-lasting.' I'd prefer to reapply than deal with putting on something that requires a special cleanser to take it off. Especially mascara — I'd rather anticipate emotional outbursts than have my eyelashes fall out" while removing waterproof mascara.

1. L'Oreal Voluminous and Maybelline Full and Soft Mascaras

• What I like about it: "The teddy-bear brush — it's thick, full and wide, and you can coat most of your lashes in one fell swoop. It doesn't flake off, either."
• Where I found it: Wal-Mart, Longs
• Price: $5.50i$7

2. Physician's Formula "The Baked Collection" eye shadow

• What I like about it: "It's (usable) wet and dry, but I prefer to use it wet. Avoid those foam applicators — always — and use a good brush."
• Where I found it: Longs
• Price: $8-$9

3. Sally Hansen Fast & Flawless Skin Brightener

• What I like about it: "My makeup was looking kind of matte, so I started using this on top of the makeup. Sometimes I use it by itself. It gives a nice radiance to the skin without looking chalky."
• Where I found it: Daiei and Longs
• Price: $6

4. Sally Hansen Radiant Hands Nail & Cuticle Cream

• What I like about it: "It's not at all greasy, and it smells wonderful, like a fresh tangerine."
• Where I found it: Daiei, Longs and Wal-Mart
• Price: $6

5. L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Self Tanner
