TECH IN REAL LIFE Technology has surely changed the way we get—and stay—well. But the sheer scope and evolving nature of it can be dizzying. As we sort through all the health and wellness technology that comes across our desks and screens here at Shape, our responses are constantly vacillating between “That’s AMAZING,” and “Too much work, not enough payoff.” It’s that gap between tech and real life that prompted us to introduce our first-ever Shape Tech Awards, starting on page 17, to help you weed through the densely cluttered market. Our mission was to hunt down the stuff we would actually use ourselves. Because to me, it’s not simply the wow factor of technological innovations that’s so thrilling, but the way they propel and support our real daily get-healthy/stay-healthy efforts. In…

In a case of art imitating nature, this moody bluish-gray lacquer resembles the sky during a fall thunderstorm, while the sweet peachy pink is the color of the sky the morning after. The duo is part of a new range of nail polish pairings from Paintbox, a nail-art studio in New York City that has spent years refining fresh, modern color mash-ups. To paint yourself: Apply two coats of your base shade, let dry, then use nail-striping tape to block off square patterns in different sizes; fill the centers with your accent color. Remove tape when polish is set.…

Keeps for 6 Weeks TRY LASH EXTENSIONS Longer and fuller eyelashes make a surprisingly profound difference in your look. “Extensions can lift and open your eyes so well that many clients skip eye makeup altogether,” says celeb lash expert Clementina Richardson. (Price ranges from $100 to $500.)

Gorgeous for 6 Months GET SEMIPERMANENT WAVES OR VOLUME The word perm brings to mind scary images of tight ’80s curls, but the new “wave perm” is…
