THE PERFECT UPDO



Undone French twists ooze femininity.

  • Step one: Blow hair out straight. Add body by setting it in big Velcro rollers for 10 minutes, suggests Sebastian Professional stylist Thomas Dunkin.
  • Step two: Pull hair back and twist it up into a loose twist.
  • Step three: "Pull out a section in the front so that it frames your face, which is what makes this style fluid," instructs D.J. Riggs, artistic director of TIGI Linea. Spritz Nexxus 360° Volume Bodifying Finishing Mist ($9.99) for hold.

BRIGHT LIPS



This season's pink and red lips pack some punch and attitude.

GET THE LOOK

  • Step one: Even out skin tone with powder foundation.
  • Step two: Line lips and fill them in with a lip pencil. "This will help the color last longer," says Turnbow. To get staying power with-out lip liner, use a long-wear lip color like L'Oréal Paris Infallible Never Fail Lipcolour in Color of Hope ($11.99; $2 will be donated to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund).
  • Step three: Apply lipstick. Try Clinique Long Last Soft Shine Lipstick in Watermelon ($14) or Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Cha Cha Cherry ($7.99).
METALLIC NAILS



Fashionable fingers will be drenched in shimmery polishes this season. The greenish silver at Chanel had a rock 'n' roll vibe, while the metallic mauve at Bill Blass was a more sophisticated take on the trend. Try Chanel Nail Colour in Kaléidoscope, $20, a sparkly sage shade.

THE SMOKY EYE



Smoldering eyes and sleek hair are a winning combination.

GET THE LOOK
  • Step one: Line top and bottom lash lines with a black liner like Stila Kajal Eye Pencil in Onyx ($14). "Or use liquid liner first, then soften it with a pencil," instructs Beauty.com celebrity makeup artist Tina Turnbow.
  • Step two: Sweep gold powder shadow from lashes to brow bone. Apply to the inner corners as well for a more dramatic look. Try Clé de Peau Beauté Eye Color Quad in #13 ($75).
  • Step three: Use a shadow brush to blend the liner with the shadow, which will deepen and smudge the color, suggests New York makeup artist Kimara Ahnert.
  • Step four: Finish with black mascara. Try Estée Lauder Sumptuous Bold Volume Lifting Mascara ($19.50).
