"I've looked the same for the past 20 years," says Linda, whose regular routine consists of Chapstick, mascara and a headband. "I want a more glamorous look." (Sound familiar? Read on to find out how a few simple tweaks to your routine can help you look -- and feel -- more fab.)

For a flattering change that isn't too dramatic, consider getting a layered haircut like one of these and adding a sideswept bang, which is what stylist Katia of Lukaro Beverly Hills does to Linda's naturally wavy hair. The result is a more voluminous shape that still looks long and feminine. You can blow-dry this style straight with a round ionic brush (try Metropolis Round Thermal Ionic Brush, $19.95) and temporary straightener (try Biosilk Silk Strate, $11.99) to add bounce, body and shine. To create natural-looking waves instead, roll damp hair into buns on the sides of the head and secure with pins. Heat the buns with a blow dryer and let air-dry.

To add dimension to a new cut (especially on dark hair), ask your stylist for very subtle, all-over highlights. Here, Rona combines Miss Clairol and Clairol Professional Premium Cr�me for all-over "brownlites" using a technique she developed for Clairol Professional's "True Color from the Heart" in support of the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women campaign. You can also ask for highlights to be placed around your face and at the tips of your layers only. (Watch this video to do this correctly at home.) "[The effect] feels brighter, as if the sun would have done it," Rona says. The best part for low-maintenance types: Subtle highlights like these only need to be touched up around the hairline every few months.

The single most important feature on your face is your brows. (See what a difference they make on these celebrities.) Robert recommends leaving brows on the fuller side and scheduling a brow appointment. ("Overgrown brows are easier to work with ... [and] more beautiful.") To maintain the shape, tweeze stray hairs below your brow line and in the center of your brows only. "Keeping them close together is important to make your arches appear higher," he says. Fill them in lightly with a brow pencil for definition.
