This blog is dedicated to cosmetics, pure and simple… but no amount of gloss will ever hide stained teeth! Celebrity Aesthetic Dentist Dr. Jonathan B. Levine (whose A-list clients include Sarah Jessica Parker, Christy Brinkley and Victoria’s Secret Model Allesandra D’Ambrosio) has offered to share some tips and tricks that will brighten your smile instantly, without expensive procedures, whitening strips or even toothpaste!
1. Whiten While you Chew
Everyone knows that red wine and coffee stain your teeth, but some foods can actually work to whiten your teeth while you eat! The following foods remove stains by exfoliating teeth before the stain molecules have the time to attach deeply to the surface. It is like a skin scrub for your smile. Foods that whiten teeth include: Apples Celery Carrots Spinach Broccoli Lettuce
2. Kiss the Stain Away
Some lip colors can actually make your teeth look significantly whiter (and darker!).
If you have grayish teeth: Avoid: Red Lipsticks with blue tones Try: Cool tone with a brown base. Nude pinks with an almost brownish hue are best.
If you have yellowish teeth: Avoid: Deep, dark shades. Bright Shades. Super shiny glosses Try: Pink shades that have blue undertones. Nudes
3. Go Bronze
Golden and tan skin tones (from a bottle not from harmful UVA/UVB rays of course) not only give you a more toned, healthy appearance but also make your eyes pop and your teeth look brighter!
4. Accessorize
Try wearing shimmering white rhinestone jewelry or gleaming silver to make your teeth appear whiter. Stay away from gold, which exaggerates any yellowish tones in teeth.
5. Clothing
A bright white shirt will only accentuate less-than-white teeth. Choose an off-white or cream-colored shade instead. Reducing the contrast will result in the appearance of a brighter, whiter smile.

On the hunt for the perfect, universally flattering lip shade, I swiped dozens of samples over the back of my hand one day while shopping. Finally, I stumbled upon Dior’s Creme de Gloss in Fig Nectar (not the color pictured). Eureka! I had found it– like a successful search for the holy grail, I felt need to celebrate.
But my happiness was short-lived. Dior’s Fig Nectar was out of stock! After several fruitless efforts to purchase this gloss in the flesh, I finally bought it online at Sephora. I gave it to my mother-in-law for her birthday rather than keep it (I decided I really really didn’t need another gloss). She raved about it, and it’s her new "go to" gloss. Why not? The mauve/plum shade would work on any skin tone, and any age. It’s truly a gem.
