Dewy Skin

"Lightly spritz water on your face, then dab some ChapStick on your cheekbones and eyelids," advises Victoria's Secret makeup artist Linda Hay. Thermal spring water, $7, Avène, Drugstore.com.

Sexy Waves

Celebrity stylist David Babaii suggests twisting damp hair into a loose, high bun in the morning and setting it with styl­ing spray. At night, undo the bun and shake your hair out. Trilliant, $20, SebastianProfessional.com for stores.

Pouty Lips

Fill in lips with a coral, nude, or pale pink liner, says Hay. Reapply gloss as needed. Very Sexy liner in slick coral, $10, Victoria's Secret. Gloss Pur #3 in pure coral, $29, Yves Saint Laurent.

Smoky Eyes

No need to be OCD here—the messier, the sexier. Line your top and bottom lash lines, then smudge with the handy sponge end. Eye Intensifier pencil in Chiang Mai, $22, Sue Devitt, QVC.com.

Finishing Touch

This jasmine-and-musk-spiked fragrance is the perfect finishing touch—and an instant segue from day to date. Couture, $90, Badgley Mischka, Neiman Marcus.
