T3 Plump
- Picture 9/10
Easy Updo
EXPERT Orlando Pita
TECHNIQUE From ear to ear, divide the hair into two sections and brush the top half into a ponytail. Fasten with an elastic band and wrap into a loose bun, anchoring it with pins that match your hair colour. Do the same with the bottom section, securing the lower bun directly beneath the top bun — the overall effect should be natural. Use a smoothing cream to tame flyaways, and mist hair with a light-strength hairspray for
touchable hold.
SECRET Start with “second-day” hair — if your hair is freshly washed, it won’t hold the look.

Smoky Eyes
EXPERT Cristina Bartolucci
TECHNIQUE Brush a pale shade over the eyelids, a deeper tone in the crease and a lighter shade under the brows. For more precision, lift the eyelid at the browbone with your fingertips when applying shadow. Finish by lining the upper lash line with black or grey eyeliner pencil.
SECRET The perfect smoky eye is all about blending. Sweep a large, clean brush across the eyelids a few times after applying shadow to avoid a striped effect.

Perfect brows
EXPERT Anastasia Soare
TECHNIQUE Tweeze in the direction of hair growth, and don’t overdo it. Use an eyebrow comb to brush hairs up toward your temples, and carefully trim them with scissors. Fill in brows with a brow powder or pencil wherever needed.
SECRET A stencil can help eliminate the guesswork.

Sexy waves
EXPERT David Babaii
TECHNIQUE After blow-drying hair, spritz with a texturizing spray, scrunch and divide into three sections. Wrap two-inch pieces around the curling iron and hold for 10 seconds. Flip and separate curls with your fingers.
SECRET It will look more carefree if you don’t curl the ends.

Lipstick Queen Sheer Lipstick

Red lips
EXPERT Poppy King
TECHNIQUE Line lips with the same shade as your lip colour, and apply lipstick straight from the tube rather than with a brush. Glossy reds are harder to apply because of their slippery texture, so use a matte lipstick with sheer lipgloss on top for a similar effect.
SECRET When you can’t find a matching liner, dab under-eye concealer around the outside of the lips to recreate that defined edge.
