While the good things about Summer (fireflies at dusk, piña coladas by the pool, fresh caprese salads) outweigh the bad, there are still some challenges that this warm-weathered season poses. Hair color can fade in the sun, and those harmless-looking espadrilles you just bought may even leave you ridden with painful blisters. And when it comes to your mug, makeup slippage and sunburns are just a few setbacks you may encounter. Fret no more. Learn four tips for getting a fresh face — even when faced with sun and sweat — when you keep reading.

When the thermometer starts needling upward of 80 degrees and higher, the last thing you want to do is slather a heavy cream of any sort to your face. Intelligent Nutrients' Plant Stem Cell Science Renewal Complex Eye Gel ($48) is the ideal solution. Not only does this ultralightweight eye gel glide on smoothly, but it soaks in quickly, too, leaving your under-eye area instantly refreshed. This light yet mighty gel even wears well under makeup, so you can kiss creasing and caking goodbye. And unlike with many eye creams, you won't get the stinging or burning of some of the more aggressive offerings. Plant-based ingredients soothe and hydrate, subtly diffusing fine lines, puffiness, and darkness. Save the heavy stuff for your therapist.

For seasons we've seen the topknot range from tight to tousled, and at last night's Tony Awards, Debra Messing mixed the former with a whole lot of volume. The result was a contrast in texture, with the sleek sides playing nicely with the bumped-up-at-the-crown topknot. "Fred Leighton jewels inspired me to create this polished chignon for Debra Messing for the Tonys," said celebrity stylist Ted Gibson.

What You Need:
To get a dressy topknot à la Debra, Gibson says you need three things: a flat iron with no curves, a bungee elastic (to hold the ponytail in place), and a shine-enhancing lotion (Gibson used his namesake brand's Tame It Shine Lotion ($20).

How to Do It:
After blowing out her hair for volume, Gibson used a flat iron set at 350 degrees to straighten Debra's strands. He then pulled Debra's hair back into a ponytail at the crown, using the shine lotion to enhance and bungee elastic to hold. Next, Gibson backcombed the ponytail, twisting the hair onto itself. A few hair pins were used to set the style, along with a few spritzes of hair spray. The effect was glamorous, elegant, and timeless.

If you haven't tried tightlining your eyes yet, get yourself in front of a mirror, stat. This technique, usually performed by applying a waterproof gel liner with a thin eye makeup brush on the roots of the lashes, gives the illusion of fuller, thicker lashes. It also makes the whites of your eyes whiter and your eye color pop. Lucky for us, It Cosmetics has simplified the process with its new Tightline Full Lash Line Black Mascara Primer ($29 for two). Since the applicator (which looks like a longer, skinnier mascara wand) is included within, there's no cleanup after each use.

This multitasking lash enhancer darkens, volumizes, and lengthens, and is also being touted by It as a primer and serum. Collagen, green tea, nettle extract, and jojoba are just some of the ingredients that work to nourish and protect. To use, place the wand horizontally at the base of your lashes, wiggling it in between each lash. Sweep the color up to the tips to prime and thicken the lashes. You can even press the wand along the upper lash lines to create an eyeliner-like effect. So clear the clutter this Summer: you may find that this one product, along with soft, shimmery shadow, is all you need to complete your warm-weather eye makeup routine.

Britney Spears has been on the cover of countless magazines sporting gorgeously coiffed hair, but with her flawless beach waves and healthy glow, there was something exceptional about her latest shoot. For the June cover of Shape, celebrity hairstylist Glenn Nutley used Oribe Hair Care to achieve Britney's highly covetable, highly sexy waves. The secret lies in both product and technique.

1. Nutley began by curling Britney's hair with an iron, focusing the direction of the wave away from her face. He then applied the brand's Dry Texturizing Spray ($39) on her roots before shaking out the curls.
2. With her head tipped back, Nutley next broke up the wave with his fingers, spritzing with Après Beach Wave and Shine Spray ($37) throughout.
3. To finish, he cleaned up any flyaways with hair spray on a blush brush, a clever way to achieve that perfectly imperfect effect.
