Hair
Step One: Apply a smoothing/straightening serum through damp hair, Paul Mitchell's Super Skinny Serum is a good one. Make a deep side part, align the part with the arch of your eyebrow.

Step Two: When hair is about 50% dry, take the top portion of hair and twist and secure on top using a sectioning clip. Then take the middle section and twist and clip.

Step Three: Spray the bottom section of hair with a thermal protector. Using a paddle brush blow dry the bottom portion of hair. Brush hair to different sides to stretch & straighten it out. Make sure your hair brush has a diffuser extension to prevent frizz. Unclip the middle section, spray the protector, and then blow dry, repeat for the top section.

Step Four: Once hair is completely dry, section hair again like in step two. Flat iron your hair section by section using a 1" flat iron. Chi is an inexpensive professional flat iron. Apply a finishing spray & your done!

Makeup
Eyes: Apply an eyeshadow primer on lids. Next, using an eyeshadow densly packed eyeshadow brush, pat on a gold eyeshadow. I recommend Urban Decay's in Midnight Cowgirl.
Then line your upper lids with a black gel eyeliner. Use an angled eyeliner brush to put it on. Make sure the line is thick and slightly winged. Use a black twist up eyeliner to line your lower waterline. Use a fine eyeliner brush and put on gold eyeshadow below your lash line.
Finish with black volumizing mascara.
Lips: Put on ChapStick, then apply a pink shimmering lip gloss.

Step One: Apply an all day moisturizer with at least SPF 15; I recommend Olay.

Step Two: Apply a mineral foundation such as BareMinerals with a special brush designed for mineral makeup otherwise you won't get good coverage.

Step Three: Use a blush brush and appy a peach blush along the apples of your cheeks.

Step Four: Pat on a light brown eyeshadow on your eyelids with an eyeshadow brush and the darker brown in the crease. Put a peach colored eyeshadow along the lower brow bone. Blend with a blending brush.

Step Five: Line your upper lash line with a dark brown eyeliner and also line your lower waterline.

Step Six: Using a fine eyeliner brush apply a dark brown eyeshadow over both of the lines you just drew to help it last longer.

Step Seven: Put on brown mascara & you're done!

Tip: I recommend Sonia Kashuk's brushes that are at Target. They're high quality, inexpensive, and there's a wide variety of types and she also makes a brush set. I use a lot of the brushes and they work really great!
