Sleek Pony: {Boar Bristle Brush | Fine Hairspray}

I love the look of this side-parted sleek pony. Not only is it easy to do, but you can achieve the look with items you already have in your vanity. Start with a deep side-part (look to the arch in your brow for guidance.) Using a boar-bristle brush, brush hair in a clean sweep. Secure hair in a low ponytail with a neutral band. Use a ultra-fine mist hair spray to maintain fly-aways. 

Bold Lip: {Nars Matte Lipstick}

Look for a matte red orange lipstick, like this one from Nars.  To keep the color bold and bright first apply a liner or base.

Soft Glow:  {Benefit Bene tint}

The best way to achieve a soft glow, is using a liquid or cream brush. This one from benefit allows you to control the amount of flush you wish to have. Using just a swipe of the product and the tips of your finger, apply to the apples of your cheeks.

Groomed Brow:  {Dior Universal Brow Pencil}

Well groomed brows are always in style! Brush eyebrows up and towards your temples, using a fine brow pencil fill where needed (don't over do it!)
