Undone is the New Done
The high-voltage, thick, layered-on makeup we see on the Kardashians, Victoria Beckham, Cheryl Cole and Jennifer Lopez is over.
The celebrities women look to these days are more likely to look fresh, natural, even deliberately dishevelled, like they haven't tried too hard.
They're either models, famous for their lo-fi take on makeup and hair, like Jessica Hart and Kate Moss, fashion icons like Kate Bosworth and The Olsens, or Aussie girls who have perfected that ‘I put in no effort' look, such as Jodhi Meares and Lara Bingle and Isabel Lucas.
Not surprisingly, it's a look that's easily achieved, working with your natural textures and quick-fix products. And highly recommended when your dress or outfit is very pretty or polished, to balance it out.
Second-Day Hair
Spritz sea salt spray all over dry hair, then blast with a hair dryer for texture. Then, sprinkle some "magic dust" (hair powder) all over the scalp. This wet powder is a hair stylist's favourite secret product for getting lived-in hair.
Sexy, Smoky Eyes Fast
Buy black liner with a smudger on the other end, and smudge into your upper and lower lash-line, being sure to go heavy under the lower lash-line. Then go over it with a dark brown shadow, smoking it out as you go. Or apply some liner before bed and sleep in it. Kate Moss does! Don't worry about having full-strength foundation either - let freckles shine through and spot conceal as needed.
Simple Matte Lips
Kate Bosworth's favourite look is a matte, creamy pink lip, which is easily created by dabbing a soft pink creme blush onto your lips for a natural looking matte finish.
