As the temperature drops, don’t waste time mourning the passing of your sun-kissed summer glow. Instead, take the opportunity to give yourself a winter makeover! These beauty trends will have you looking radiant for all the upcoming holiday festivities.

Go Nude
The no-makeup look never really goes out of style with its fresh, modern and totally pulled-together vibe. A perfectly even skin tone is the key to pulling this off. If, like most of us, you don’t wake up with a naturally flawless complexion, there are lots of great products to enhance your glow. Look for foundations that smoothen and hydrate your skin and contain at least SPF 15, like Prescriptives Flawless Skin Total Protection Makeup SPF 15. Whether you go for concealer, mineral powder or liquid foundation, choose one that’s a shade or two lighter than your summer hue. To ensure a perfect match, test a strip on your cheek in daylight; it should virtually disappear against your skin.

Bold Brows and Ruby Lips
Latinas everywhere, rejoice: Bold brows are back! Emphasize your beautiful features with a well-defined arch and crimson lips for a strong, sexy and ultra-polished look. The Nuance Salma Hayek Shape & Define Brow Kit makes it a snap. For lips, as long as you choose a shade that complements and enhances your skin tone, rich red lips can brighten your whole face. If you have golden/yellow undertones, go for warm orange or brownish lip colors. If you have pink undertones, go for cool pink or bluish hues. A moisturizing formula like COVERGIRL LipPerfection Lipcolor wards off the elements and keeps your lips silky smooth.

Navy Liner and Lashes for Days
Set aside your summer pastels, laid-back neutrals and beachy corals. Go for smoldering winter drama with smoky navy eye shadow and liner. Navy adds gorgeous depth to brown eyes and makes blue eyes pop, plus it’s a lovely alternative to basic black. Create long, luxurious lashes with lengthening mascara -- like Maybelline’s The Falsies Volum’ Express -- to really amp up the intensity.

Longing for the days when the sun lingers on your naturally glowing skin? We are too. Here’s how to keep looking fresh throughout the season.

Don’t Wash Your Face
Skip the water and try a cleansing towelette or a cream cleanser that you remove with a tissue. Follow up with a gentle toner. Note how your skin still feels clean but not tight and parched.

Upgrade Your Moisturizer
Use a winter-ready face cream (don’t forget the SPF). Creams are slightly heavier and create more of a protective barrier against the dry air of winter.

Have a Bedtime Beauty Ritual
If you have oily skin or are prone to breakouts, stick to your regular lotion for daytime and apply creams only at night. This gives your skin the extra soothing it needs -- without the risk of a too-shiny, oil-slicked face at work.

Exfoliate, Still
Dry winter air leaves a layer of ash. Add a gentle exfoliating step to your skin-care routine to slough off the dead cells and keep your skin radiant. Select a creamy, rich exfoliant with fine grains that won’t irritate.

Grab a Body Balm
Not just for lips anymore, balms can be generously applied to your hands, feet, cuticles, elbows and even the ends of your hair -- anywhere you need extra softness. Body balms also come in yummy scents -- like coconut and vanilla -- that bring warmer climes to mind.

Behold the Power of Bronzer
No woman should deny herself this magic wand of the beauty world. If you are a newbie, stick to a matte powder and apply the bronzer in a “3” formation on each side of your face. The top of the “3” shape starts at the side of your forehead, the middle of the “3” comes in under the cheekbone and the bottom curve of the “3” hugs your jawline. Blend well with an angled applicator brush and note the suddenly sunny, slimmed-down you. If you’re more of an expert and want to pump up the effect, try a liquid or cream bronzer with a slight sheen in the formula. Apply after blush to the apples of your cheeks and on your brow bone.

Busy juggling your kids’ routine, your work emails and countless other to-dos every morning? You probably don’t have time to glam up on your way out the door. The right products and a little preparation can shave an hour off your busy schedule.

Skin
For glowing, killer skin, pamper your cutis the night before, says Jackie Cioffa, celebrity makeup artist and author of the blog Make up to Model Citi Zen. Apply a regenerating serum that’s packed with antioxidants to help protect against photoaging. Then, apply a night cream on your skin and an anti-aging cream under your eyes. Rinse your face and apply a light moisturizer. When you get up in the morning, your skin will be fresh and ready to go.

Lips
Right after you finish brushing your teeth, brush your lips with a wet, rinsed-off toothbrush to remove any dry flakes from chapped lips. Next, apply a moisturizing lip balm. Look for one that isn’t sticky and is full of antioxidants. Then add some color to your lips with a lip stain in a berry color.

Makeup
For a golden glow, mix a liquid bronzer with moisturizer to avoid any shading, and then blend with a brush. It will leave your skin looking fresh and glowing. Next, use a lash curler for an eye-opening lift, says Cioffa. Apply volumizing mascara in your color of choice.

Take a cream-based shadow and sweep it once over your eyelids. Finally, with a synthetic brush, apply concealer under your eyes.

Hair
If you have oily hair but no time for washing and styling, use a dry shampoo, says Rafael Nieves, owner of The Heights Salon of Brooklyn. It will refresh hair and make it look and feel cleaner.

If your tresses are dry, mix a bit of leave-in-conditioner with water in a spray bottle. Shake, spray your hair, shape with your fingers and allow to air dry.

Straight-haired gals: Wrap your hair around your head and cover it with a silk hair wrap overnight. This will prevent tangles in the morning. Remove the silk wrap, brush and you will be ready to go.

Figuring out what to wear to the office every morning can be a time-consuming and frustrating rutina. But celebrity trainer Ana Cabán sees an opportunity to shine every day by putting together a look that accentuates your feminine and polished sides. Here, she doles out tips on makeup, hair and fashion that keep you looking both sexy and professional in la oficina.

Hair
For a clean and summery look, Cabán suggests adding a baby braid to your hairline. First part your hair with a horizontal line that runs down the middle, from the top of your forehead to your crown. Next, choose one section and start braiding from the horizontal line until you run out of hair. Finally, fasten the braid with a thin colored elastic. “Tuck the braid behind your ear and you’ll be ready to wow!”

Makeup
Remember, any makeup routine must be about enhancing your natural beauty. The trick is to boost your look by always keeping your eyelashes thick with mascara or a curler, your lips glossed and your cheeks blushed. “You will always look fabulosa!”

Tops
“When it comes to sexy office fashion, it’s all about layers,” says Cabán. Choose sexy tops -- such as camisoles, silk tanks and ruffled sleeveless blouses -- that peek out of a jacket or thin cardigan. “Leave some mystery by giving just a little hint.”

Shoes
If demure is the name of the game in your office, why not make a statement with fabulous shoes? “Opt for a pop of color or an edgy style that shows off your personality -- without ruffling your boss’s feathers,” says Cabán. Peep-toe pumps or sandals with a high heel are appropriate and very “come-hither.”

Accessories
“Accessories are a great way to spunk up an otherwise simple or tired outfit,” says Cabán. A skinny belt that doubles around you will cinch that waist and add instant luster. It will not only pull your outfit together, but also show off your Latina curves. A chunky necklace also completes an office look when worn over a simple cotton-poplin dress.

When you’re busy purchasing products, from lotions to wipes, for your baby, you may forget to invest in your own goods. So, when you’re in a bind, you grab the first lotion on your bathroom vanity -- and it’s for your baby. But are baby products as effective? Here, Dr. Rolanda Johnson, who received a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry and works with Procter and Gamble beauty scientists, fills us in.

The answer, in short, is that products designed for your baby, which not counterproductive, are not as productive as compared to using moisturizing treatments designed for your skin needs and concerns.

Most babies, unless they are experiencing skin problems, do not need a high level of added moisturization on their skin as their skin is in its prime- a plump, hydrated, even skin tone. The skin cellular turnover rate is at its optimum, all of the natural moisturizing factors are present to deliver the proper level of water in the skin and there is no big concern of sun exposure at this time.

However, as we age, we lose the intrinsic skin characteristics of babies. What's more is that the extrinsic factors like sun exposure become more of a problem when skin is exposed to the sun over time. If you don't have protection from sun damage, you are lacking care and protection that your skin needs, as the baby product will not have the specific ingredients that will address the concerns of your skin.

Do yourself -- and your skin -- a favor, and go shopping for yourself once in a while! Your body will thank you later.
