We all know the often-overused saying “New year, new me,” but sometimes when the new year comes, we just want to make tiny tweaks to our already awesome selves. Instead of a completely “new” us, we get the urge to upgrade our look. But with all of the other things we resolved to do, these changes need to be easy enough to fit into our hectic lives.
So we asked some of the top hairstylists and makeup artists in the business to explain which small adjustments we could make for a true upgrade in 2017. Even if you can’t give up carbs or get to the gym today (you tried, we believe it!), you can make these nine simple hair and beauty updates.

Freshen up your skin
“Skin is in and always will be. Pay extra attention to your skin by removing the dead skin cells. I love the Dermalogica Daily Superfoliant. It’s a face wash that contains cool ingredient binchotan charcoal that helps with pollution, and I like to use this clean base to then boost my glow. I use extra hydration on my face (and my clients’) to make the skin look a bit more special. Weleda Skin Food is my holy-grail skin care item. It glows under anything that goes on top and hydrates as well as cocoons from the elements. I apply a pea-sized amount and apply on the whole face or any dry areas. Let dry for a minute and then apply complexion products.” — Katie Jane Hughes, makeup artist
Take the minimalist route
“Get a fresh start with a fresh face! From makeup minimalist Jil Sander and Stella McCartney to glamazons like Lanvin and Versace, models all strutted down the runway looking effortlessly beautiful for spring/summer 2017. The beauty of this look is no precision required. All you have to do is gently rub the cream-color products on with your fingertips. The less precise you are, the more natural it looks. It’s a great intro look for any makeup first-timers. You can easily multitask with multiuse products like Bite Beauty’s Multistick.” — Jordy Poon, makeup artist
