" PREVENT WEIGHT GAIN Tasty hors d&amp;#039;oeuvres and who-can-count-how-many glasses of champagne can add up to five to 10 extra pounds by January. Stephen Gullo, president of New York&amp;#039;s Institute for Health and Weight Sciences&amp;#039; Center for Healthful Living, provides easy tips to avoid packing on the pounds.   &amp;quot;Wear form-fitting clothes to parties. You&amp;#039;ll know instantly if you are gaining weight.&amp;quot; Never go out hungry. No time for a balanced meal? &amp;quot;Have a few GG Bran Scandinavian crispbreads. They are the highest-fiber crackers in the world, and with only 12 calories a slice, you could eat the whole pack and still lose weight.&amp;quot;  If you don&amp;#039;t have time to eat before an event, order a Virgin Mary with extra celery. &amp;quot;Tomato juice is an appetite suppressant.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Carbonated beverages can trick the body into feeling full. Drinking a diet soda will help limit your intake.&amp;quot; Think finger control. &amp;quot;You should have nothing in your hands except for shrimp, crudit\u00E9s, chicken kebabs, or fruit.&amp;quot; If you have an issue with hors d&amp;#039;oeuvres, carry a clutch in one hand and a drink in the other. &amp;quot;It will be inconvenient to eat.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;If you crave high-calorie cheese or chocolate, have no more than two pieces.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;If you must drink, have only one or two cocktails. Too much alcohol inhibits your judgment during a meal.&amp;quot; He suggests choosing something you don&amp;#039;t love so you won&amp;#039;t finish it as quickly. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s not calories you should worry about but how drinking can work as an appetite stimulant.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;To limit alcohol consumption painlessly, alternate one alcoholic beverage with a nonalcoholic drink. If you are going to a long dinner, order a bottle of mineral water as a reminder.&amp;quot;   HIDE A HANGOVER Chanel celebrity makeup artist Kate Lee, who works with Keira Knightley, and Physicians Formula makeup artist Joanna Schlip, who counts Ellen Pompeo as a client, give easy tips on how to conceal a night of one too many cocktails.   &amp;quot;Alcohol causes your face to bloat,&amp;quot; says Schlip. To relieve swelling, place ice cubes in a washcloth and hold it under your eyes for five minutes. Or try a cooling eye gel like Patricia Wexler M.D. Dermatology Fastscription De-Puff ($19.50). Schlip also recommends using eyedrops that remove redness, like Rohto V. Cool ($6.99). Keep your skin clean and hydrated. Olay Regenerist Deep Hydrating Mousse Cleanser ($8.99) removes impurities without stripping moisture. &amp;quot;And Chanel Hydramax + Active S\u00E9rum [$105] moisturizes without feeling greasy,&amp;quot; says Lee.  &amp;quot;When your eyes are puffy, you want to contour them by adding depth,&amp;quot; instructs Schlip. She suggests using concealer a shade darker than your skin or mixing your regular one with your foundation to take the color down. &amp;quot;To balance out dark circles, go with a yellow color corrector.&amp;quot; Try Physicians Formula Concealer Palette ($7.95).  &amp;quot;If your skin looks dull, add a little shimmer to a tinted moisturizer or foundation,&amp;quot; advises Schlip. Try Olay Total Effects Touch of Foundation ($18.99) or Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation ($58).  &amp;quot;Cream blushes instantly make you appear more radiant and fresh,&amp;quot; notes Lee. Try By Terry Blush Velout\u00E9 in Apple Glow ($38).  &amp;quot;Take the focus off tired eyes by accentuating your lips with a bright moisturizing lipstick,&amp;quot; says Schlip. &amp;quot;Red, wine, or fuchsia creates a very put-together look.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Brighten your eyes by rimming your inside bottom lid with a white or navy pencil,&amp;quot; says Schlip. Or dab a highlighter on the inner corners of your eye and under your brow bone. &amp;quot;Finish by curling your lashes and applying black mascara to open them up.&amp;quot; Try L&amp;#039;Or\u00E9al Paris Double Extend Beauty Tubes Mascara ($10.95).  Carry your essentials (even in a tiny clutch) in a customized palette. Create a perfect set with Jouer, $124.   "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
