Curling your hair like Vanessa

  1. Take a shower the night before and don't brush your hair and sleep with it wet and messy. It also always depends, if you have very curly hair brush it and in the morning straighten it, or put rollers in it and let it air dry or use a hair dryer.
  2. Heat the hair curlers when you wake up it should be a one inch and a half thick of a curler, this helps because if you use a big curler it won't work, the result just ends in big waves.
  3. When you wake up in the morning your hair is going to be a mess, but don't worry! Just separate your hair in half straight in the middle and hold one side with a hair clip while the other side you slice your hair into three sections depending on how much hair you contain. Start from the bottom and hold the other with a hair clip.
  4. Use some hair oil or hair polisher, whatever you want to call it, on each hair section you start on. You can buy it anywhere buy some at Walgreens, this will help from damaging your hair, plus this will keep the frizzy out and make your hair soft
  5. Then you get a between thick to thin clump or strain of hair and twirl it around the curler start it from the root to the tip of the hair. don't hold the hair super tight and leave it on there for 2-4 minutes depending on the thickness of the strain of hair you parted
  6. Finish it with a very small amount of hairspray, if you use to much of this then you won't get that nice flow in your hair that makes it look natural. Just use a bit to hold. It's a good idea not to do it while your hair is wet.

Eyes

  1. Consider any differences in eye color. It isn't necessary to get dark brown contacts. You can recreate an equally lovely look with your real eye color. Just use colors that compliment your eye color.
  2. Vanessa has long dark lashes so use a good quality mascara to lengthen them.
  3. On the red carpet Vanessa often has charcoal like eyeshadow on, just start of with dark grays along the crease of your eye then gradually get darker shades, but don't wear black, just dark grays. Then smudge it gently together.

Skin Care

  1. Have a good skin routine like Vanessa. Blackheads, whiteheads, acne, excessive oil can be cleared.
    • Cleanse and moisturize daily (in the morning and at night before you go to sleep) with products such as Proactive (for acne prone skin) or other formula for your skin type (if you have dry, oily, normal or combination skin).
  2. Work on your tan. Going to the beach is not healthy because of UV rays. And a tanning bed is even worse! Buy a self-tanner or bronzer.
  3. Good products for Vanessa-like skin: Drinking tons of water and using avocado face masks!

General

  1. Smile. Vanessa is hardly seen frowning- she always looks friendly and warm. Use whitening toothpaste for pearly whites that never stop shining. Don't skip the floss and the mouthwash!
  2. Be natural is all you need! For example, instead of covering your face with thick makeup, opt for a light brush of bronzer on your nose, forehead and cheekbones, a bit of tinted moisturizer to even out skin tone, a coat of brown mascara (brown looks natural) and a slick of clear lip gloss. Teamed with care-free tousled locks, and a killer smile, you'll look hot without looking plastic!
