Beware, graphic liner is not for beginners or those with a shaky hand. It does require an extra effort, time and patience. But let's be honest, the results are so worth the effort. <div>

<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Instructions</b>:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1. Putting a primer on your lids when applying a liner is a must. It will keep the color in place and keep it from creasing. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2. With a steady hand ( don't worry though, q-tips and makeup remover will keep mistakes hidden! ) apply a fine line of colored liner of your choice close to the upper lashes.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3. Add another line above it starting from the middle out to the corner, curving it like a cat eye. Leave some visible space between the two lines.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
4. Apply a scotch tape under your brows, trace the line with the pencil in the same color as your liner. Keeping the distance between your lines, apple a straight line from the inner to the outer corner of the eye.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
5. Using the eye shadow in the same color, run it through the line and bring through richly below it. Keep the color rich.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
6. Apply a sweep of mascara and you are all set!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<b>Instructions</b>:<br />
Cut the beets, trim the skin and cut into small cubes. Add all of the ingredients and blend in the food processor until liquified. Pour into a glass jar. Using a cotton swap or a lip brush slide the stain over the dry lips. And whoa-la, you have a natural lip color, and without the use of harsh chemicals. When done, store in the refrigerator up to three weeks.<br />

Burgundy color is the "it" color of the season seen in everything from accessories to coats and dresses. But by far the easiest way to work this color in is with a great pair of jeans. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>How To Wear Them:</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. Put a modern spin on your off-duty sweater, messenger bag and pumps look by leaving blue jeans behind and opting for a burgundy instead.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. Even casual-casual can look smart enough for dinner with your girlfriends if your jeans are on-trend. So wear your casual stripped shirt with burgundy jeans, throw a leather jacket on to keep you warm and you will be all set. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. To rev up your old favorite black tee, wear it with a faux fur vest and of course burgundy jeans. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In the end, don't forget to experiment and find your own ways to add some color into your winter wardrobe!</div>

After seeing the above knuckle rings on celebrities and fashion forward california girls, we couldn't help but try this trend. Our verdict: effortlessly cool and chic.<br />

You can wear them with a statement ring by placing it on one finger and the above knuckle ring on the other. It will add an unexpected twist and look simple and sweet without looking too heavy. Just remember to match the metal of a statement ring with the metal of a midi ring to visually strengthen the effect. <br />

<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">The greatest successes are often those borne from hardship. In the wake of recent events, for example, Michael Phelps’ extraordinary achievements seem even more deserved when we hear of his childhood troubles as a victim of bullying; Victoria Pendleton’s golden exit a glorious defiance of the bureaucratic nonsense forced upon her. The stars that shine the brightest are the ones that ascend from darkness.<br /><br />The same may be said of Ebonee Davis’ rise to prominence. A seemingly ordinary – although striking – teenager from Seattle, there are a few notable facts about this remarkable young woman: firstly, she came from absolutely nothing (she has been quoted as saying that she sleeps on a mattress in her grandmother’s attic); secondly, she has the world at her feet (she is an internationally successful model represented by MC2 Model Management, fresh off a turn on America’s Next Top Model). Recently, she has shot for Seventeen Magazine, a Guess Jeans advertisement due out in September, and walked in Cape Town Fashion Week 2012.</span><div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />Of her impressive drive, Davis says that her “passion comes from my struggle to make it to where I am. I didn't always have an easy life and for me modeling is something that I can use as a tool to create a foundation for the future.”<br /><br />The challenges of her past, far from holding her back, have made her stronger and continue to inspire her, she says. “Whenever I need motivation I just remember how far I've come. Even though I'm still not as successful as I hope to be some day, I have a lot to be thankful for and I have accomplished a lot. I attend one of the highest ranked public institutions in the US [the University of Washington] and I am a professional model living out my dream, not to mention having the opportunity to live it out on national television. That alone is enough to keep me motivated.”<br /><br />She has certainly come a long way: “I've only been modeling for a little bit over a year and look at what has happened already! I am [signed] with two agencies and I will be traveling to South Africa this summer to model. I get to enjoy meeting and working with new people and most of all I get to do what I love which is something a lot of people can't say.”<br /><br />Of course, there are hard times, but Davis’ approach is inspirational in itself. “When times are tough I just try to remember that there is so much opportunity out there (as I have learned since starting modeling) and [that] if I waste time being frustrated or upset about a certain situation, I may miss a huge opportunity. So I have to continue to look to the future and work hard everyday no matter what the circumstances!” That might well be a mantra for us all to live by, and to remember that no matter where you come from, you can be inspired to achieve heights you never previously dared to dream of.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Getting a great salon-style
manicure (you know the type – smooth, glassy, perfectly shaped, no chips or
smudges in sight) at home that actually lasts (longer than, y’know, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">a day</i>) can be a real task. But it IS
possible. And we’re going to show you how to do it. Right here. Right now.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
You will need: a good base
coat/nail strengthener (we love the Sephora-stocked Perfect Formula Gel Coat),
your choice of nail polish and a good top coat (we recommend Sally Hansen’s
Diamond Shine Base & Top Coat).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
First, apply your base coat or
nail strengthener. It’s important to make sure your nails are well cared for
and nourished, and the coating will provide a nice, smooth surface to
facilitate that glassy smooth polish look. Always wait at least ten minutes
between ‘layers’, and consider submerging nails in ice cold water for thirty
seconds (just fill up your sink and dunk) to encourage faster drying and ensure
no chips or smudges get even a look-in.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Once your base coat has dried,
apply your nail polish. Always make sure there is enough polish on your brush
(you don’t want any streaks), but not a huge glob (too much polish on the nail
won’t dry well and will smudge at the stroke of a feather). Sweep your nail
polish on in steady, straight, vertical strokes. This will allow you to get a
great shape, with those tell-tale clean, straight, just-out-of-the-salon edges.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Once you’ve dried and dunked,
apply your top coat. Apply perhaps a little more liberally than your polish,
and apply all over the nail (make sure you apply it to the natural nail, over
the coloured part, as this will ‘seal’ your colour, making it impervious to
chips). Preferably, double your drying time to twenty minutes, and use the cold
water trick. And voila! Perfect nails, no salon required. One last tip: do your
nails at night, just before you go to bed, as your nail job will firm up
properly overnight, and be hard as, err, nails by the time you wake up.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
For those of you who reside in
the <st1:country -region="-region" w:st="on">US</st1:country>, <i>Made in Chelsea </i>is a British reality TV show following the
dramatics of pretty and privileged 20-somethings frolicking in the affluent <st1:city w:st="on">London</st1:city> borough of <st1:city w:st="on">Chelsea</st1:city>.
Whether you’ve seen it (love it or hate it) or not, you have to admit that
there is one aspect worthy of admiration: the perfect skin paraded around by
all the cast members (see Millie Mackintosh, above). Well, we’re going to tell
you how to get that. This post is not about choosing the right shade of
foundation, which is an epic venture in itself, but about applying products to
create a photo-ready, dewy, truly flawless finish.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
You will need: a good moisturizer
(if you have oily skin, try Vichy Normaderm Total Mat Fresh Hydrating Gel), a
liquid/cream/gel-like foundation (we love Clinique’s BB Cream), a powder
concealer (or you can use powder foundation; we recommend the eco-friendly and
pure mineral offering from Alima Pure), foundation brush, cream blush and
setting powder.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
After moisturizing your skin,
start by pouring a little foundation on the back of your non-dominant hand.
Using the middle finger of your other hand, get a dollop of foundation and
swirl it on a patch of uncovered skin on the back of your hand to thin it out.
Then blend the foundation onto your face in straight strokes. Blend up and over
your lip line (later, using a tissue, just lick your lips and wipe off any
excess). It’s always a good idea to use a small amount of foundation and build
coverage, rather than slapping a load on at once.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Once you’ve applied your base,
take your powder concealer or foundation and foundation brush. Shake some
powder into the top of your powder container and shake the powder a little bit
so it separates into tiny dots. Pick up these tiny dots one by one on the very
tip of your foundation brush and dot over individual blemishes. You can also
dot over areas of shadow, redness or uneven pigmentation. Yes, this is
incredibly fiddly, but this is how you get truly flawless skin.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Next, take your cream blush.
Smile into the mirror, and dot blush onto the apples of your cheeks and then
upwards in a curve along the cheekbones and onto the temples. Finally, dust the
tiniest touch of setting powder over your t-zone. This will keep you from
looking oily while encouraging a dewy glow that will develop beautifully over
the course of the day. You beauty.</div>

<br />

<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Let’s be honest: Kate
Middleton is pretty much perfect. Her skin, her outfits, her hair.
Especially her hair. She must have a fantastic stylist. If only one
could get her look at home. But surely not – it’s too perfect,
isn’t it? Well, actually, no. Behold – the quintessential guide
on how to get pretty, perfect Kate Middleton hair.</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
You will need: two hair
brushes (one large barrel brush – we recommend the 4-inch Spornette
Prego Ceramic Styling Brush on Folica.com – and one soft or
natural-bristle paddle brush, like the DENMAN Paddle Brush also
available from Folica.com), a root lift or volumizing spray like
Kiehl’s Super Thick Volumizer, a few bobby pins and a good hair
dryer (we like the Solia 1875W Thermal Ionic Hair Dryer, available
from Folica.com, which produces millions of negative ions that
eliminate frizz to create sleeker hairstyles and healthier locks).</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
After washing your hair,
gather it into a high ponytail with one hand, and with the other,
create sections by taking a two inch thick portion from the underside
of the ponytail. Twist the rest of the ponytail out of the way for
the moment (you can pile it on top of your head after twisting the
length of it and pin it in place, if you like). Let the section you
just created fall, so you have a thin curtain of loose hair, and
spray the volumizing or root lift spray in a side-to-side motion over
your roots and the inch either side (on the curtain of hair and new
underside of the ponytail). Then create another section of hair in
the same way, continuing like this until you’ve repeated the
process for a total of four or five times. Now take your hair dryer
and blow dry the spray into your hair by just roughly raking your
fingers through your hair.</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Once your hair is roughly
dry, go back to step one and create a section of hair. This time,
take your barrel brush and blow dry the whole length of the section,
keeping the hair dryer pointed down the shaft of the hair while
pulling the brush away from you. Once the hair is dry, wrap the
section around your fingers all the way up to the roots, and pin in
place. Continue to section your hair and repeat the process, working
up your head from the back of your hair until every section is curled
and pinned.</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Once you’ve curled and
pinned every strand of hair, remove the pins and gently shake out the
curls. Then, take your paddle brush and brush through the entirety of
your hair. Style as desired (centre or side parting, etc.) and finish
with a touchable, medium hold hairspray like Moroccanoil Luminous
Hairspray. And voila! Welcome to the world of people with perfect
hair.</div>

<br />
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The September issues of
the big fashion glossies have hit the shelves, bringing with them
their record-breaking amount of pages filled with new season fashion.
With this veritable assault upon us, you’ve probably managed to
absorb most of the new trends via sheer osmosis. So, you’re well
ahead of the curve. That’s great. But perhaps you’re a little
perplexed as to how to incorporate these fresh looks without buying a
completely new wardrobe. One word, ladies: accessories.</div>

Whether you’ve fallen
for the baroque trend or been swayed by the samurai girl of the east,
you can pay homage to your favourite trend easily and inexpensively
with maximalist accessories. Clutches, shoes and jewellery,
especially, are the best ways to nod to your new look without
breaking the bank. The high street stores are doing a remarkable job
this season, and one of the best online stops for amazing jewellery
is CharmAndChain.com. And our top tip? Look out for Anna Dello
Russo’s glamorous, eclectic collection for H&M, hitting
locations worldwide (and online) October 4<sup>th</sup>.</div>

It’s all about the
riding trend this season, darling. The easiest way to emulate
equestrianism is, of course, the glorious and enduring riding boot.
We like Topshop’s Percival Riding Boot and, obviously, anything by
Hunter. For those weekends in the country, of course. Lovely.</div>

<b>P.S. </b>Have an idea

it, or where to look? If you haven’t already heard of it, head on
over to ShopStyle.com ASAP. You can search for ‘riding boots’, or
‘clip on crystal chandelier earrings’ and then browse results
accumulated from every source imaginable. It’s like shopping, but
easier.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="Standard" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard" style="text-align: justify;">
It's bathing suit, shorts and mini-skirt season, so you'll
want your gams looking smooth and sexy. If you have cellulite, however, looking
fierce in these getups can be a bit of a problem. Fortunately, you don't have
to live with those dimples forever; you can perform a few tricks to nix those
lumps and bumps and get your stems looking stellar.</div>
<div class="Standard" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<b>Non-Exercise Methods</b></div>
<div class="Standard" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard" style="text-align: justify;">
In case you didn't know, cellulite is simply good
old-fashioned fat. Therefore, exercise is often the trick to getting it to
scoot. A few other methods can help you say “buh-bye” to the dimples, as well.
For instance, drinking plenty of water throughout the day helps to keep you
hydrated and heavenly-looking, and can help those exercises give that cellulite
the old shove-off.</div>
<div class="Standard" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard" style="text-align: justify;">
Additionally, getting enough sleep is super important in your
body looking its very best. You can also use firming lotions on your legs to
encourage your skin to tighten up and send that cellulite packing.</div>
<div class="Standard" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<b>Side Squats</b></div>
<div class="Standard" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard" style="text-align: justify;">
Tighten and tone your thighs while getting rid of those
unsightly lumps with this easy, but effective, exercise. Stand up straight,
with your back flat, and spread your legs until they are shoulder-width apart.
Now point your toes outward at a 45-degree angle.</div>
<div class="Standard" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard" style="text-align: justify;">
Hold a pair of dumbbells in each hand and keep them at your
hips. Take a big step out to the side with your left leg and bend your knee
until your thigh is parallel with the floor. Keep your right knee extended, but
don't let you left knee stick out beyond your toes or your derriere go below
your knee.</div>
<div class="Standard" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard" style="text-align: justify;">
Stay in this position for a second or two, then return to
your normal stance. Repeat the same motion with your right side without resting
in between. You can increase the intensity of the workout by holding the
dumbbells at your shoulders, instead of your hips.</div>
<div class="Standard" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard" style="text-align: center;">
<b>The Kickback</b></div>
<div class="Standard" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard" style="text-align: justify;">
You'll have to get on your hands on knees for this one, but
it will be worth it! Strap some ankle weights on, then get on all fours, then
slide down so that you are resting on your forearms. Keep your back straight
and look down at the floor.</div>
<div class="Standard" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard" style="text-align: justify;">
Kick your right leg up and bend it, then push it towards the
ceiling. Keep your foot flat and your thigh parallel to the ground. Hold this
position for one second, then return to your starting stance. Switch legs and
continue the process. You'll start to feel a burn that lets you know this
exercise is working.</div>
<div class="Standard" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard" style="text-align: justify;">
Keeping yourself fit and trim is a good idea anyways, but
when you get the added benefit to nixing that cellulite as well, it makes it
well worth it. Now go ahead and work it in that cute little skirt you've been
eyeing all summer.</div>

For all those sartorial savants in

Games, fear not. Fashion has its own games – the games of the photographer-pursuing,
arm-party-propagating, Issa-imitating extravaganza that is the street style

pointers for easy looking-like-Leigh-Lezark style points (that’s the Sanya

<b><i>Know your style<o:p></o:p></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Style stars attract attention because
they stand out from the crowd. It’s not so much about just wearing clothes, but
about showing personality; conveying a message. Always remember that what you
wear will say something about you, whether you intend it to or not. The
stunners on everyone’s ‘must-shoot’ (and then, subsequently, ‘best dressed’)
list always have their own distinguishable style: Anna Dello Russo is known for
her outré, couture getups, Carine Roitfeld for her all-black, slick sex appeal.
Decide on your signature style, and then work it to the max. Some tips on
finding your flair: think about what you want people to think about you, and
always keep that in mind. For example: hang out (or aspire to) in <st1:city w:st="on">Chelsea</st1:city> and haunt the
Bluebird? After the Sloaney sleekness of the Pippa Middleton set? Find a way to
incorporate blazers and riding boots into your outfits. (If you think that’s a
bit pedestrian, imagine black blazers with asymmetric cuts and the Givenchy
wide-and-straight-cut riding boots – see the Zara approximations above – of
this season.)</div>

<b><i>Find a counterpoint<o:p></o:p></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The ‘style’ in ‘style star’ should
be taken in the context of ‘Man, she’s got <i>style</i>’.
A foolproof way to add that crucial je ne sais quoi to your outfit is to find a
counterpoint to your main style statement. Running with our Sloaney example
above, if you’ve got the blazer-and-boots combo down, how about throwing them
over a pair of great leather pants, or accessorizing with a gold handcuff
bracelet and fluro pink nails? There should always be something interesting
about your outfit – a cookie cutter look does not a style star make.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Despite our enduring love of
summer, editors everywhere are obsessing over the hot new trends for A/W 2012. It’s
just so exciting – to be overwhelmed with new shows, new stars, new ideas for
hair and makeup as well as getting dressed. But that key word – <i>overwhelmed</i> – can be just the problem:
sure, they are a billion exciting new trends to choose from, but how do we know
which ones are worth it? How do we know which ones will endure past just one
season? And perhaps most importantly: how do we save our wallets from cardiac
arrest? Well, fear not - we have the answers. Read on for fall’s hero pieces,
the true ‘must-haves’ of the season.</div>

<b>1. The pencil skirt<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
As you can see from
Net-A-Porter’s image and skirt selection (which you can find <a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/Shop/List/Pencil_Me_In?cm_sp=Homepage-_-pencilin-_-pencilin">here</a>)
above, one of the reasons the pencil skirt is a hero piece is because you can use
it to portray any trend, mood or image you like. There are ones with peplums
and ones with prints; ones decorated with lame and brocade and ones made from
or leather and lace. In short, whatever look you’re into, there’s a pencil
skirt for you. Plus they go with pretty much everything (a tucked-in blouse for
9-5 smarts, or a ratty tee for downtown cool) and are infinitely flattering
(they give you curves if you don’t have any, and make them look smooth and sexy
if you do, and are particularly awesome for those with muscular or larger
thighs).</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
This piece is as versatile as the
pencil skirt: if you’re feeling preppy, go for a cable-knit style in flax from
J. Crew, or for a high fashion-cum-street take, try Stella McCartney’s lavishly
printed version. If you pick a light specimen and pull the sleeves up (bonus
points for fashionable nonchalance), you can start wearing your beloved buy
right now.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Forget your worries about these
not being flattering – they are. If nightmares of your thighs turning into tree
trunks continue to plague you, simply choose a pair that is black and more
matte than shiny. Easy peasy. Other reasons we love leather trousers: they can
add an air of luxury or even elegance to your outfit, they always make you look
more high fashion and feel more badass, and you can get beautiful, tricked-out
pairs (gold zips, glorious oxblood, etc.).</div>

<div class="Standard" style="text-align: justify;">
The ponytail is a staple in just about everyone's hair
arsenal, but let's face it – they get old. Although seeing your face and neck
is beautiful, a ponytail can be a bit boring. Since they are so practical,
however, you probably don't want to completely cut them out of your hair
options. With a few little tricks, you can spice up your 'do and leave your
pony looking amazing.</div>
<div class="Standard" style="text-align: justify;">

<b>Beautiful Braid</b></div>
<div class="Standard">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard" style="text-align: justify;">
One easy and elegant way to add a bit of style and flair to
your pony is to add a braid to the mix. Forget braiding the pony; this style
features braid on the underside. To get your pony looking saucy, grab about 90
percent of hair, leaving a small amount on the bottom. Secure the big chunk of
hair, and work on braiding the bottom. You can braid in the center of the
braid, or you can make it off to the side – both look fabulous.</div>
<div class="Standard" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard" style="text-align: justify;">
Secure the braid with a ponytail holder, then work on getting
the larger chunk together in a ponytail. Once you do, grab the braid and place
it in the ponytail holder, as well. You will be left with a cute braid peeking
out from underneath or the side of the ponytail. You could also place your hair
in a bun to really show off that pretty braid. Add something sparkly to the mix
and you're good to go.</div>

<b>Please Tease Me</b></div>
<div class="Standard">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard" style="text-align: justify;">
The teased pony has been getting lots of attention lately and
for good reason – it's hot. Before you go thinking it is too hard to create,
think again. A teased ponytail is quite simple and you only need a few items to
complete the fabulous look.</div>
<div class="Standard" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard" style="text-align: justify;">
Start by working some mousse into your hair; it will help to
add volume. Once you do, pull your hair back into a ponytail holder in the
middle of the back of your head. Now grab your brush and start to brush towards
your forehead. Doing so will create volume. Don't go overboard, however, or
you'll end up with the proverbial rat's nest on the top of your head.</div>
<div class="Standard" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard" style="text-align: justify;">
Once you get the volume you desire, brush back gently to work
out any tangles or weird-looking areas. You can also use your fingers to pull
up on the hair to give it a boost. Go back over your 'do with hairspray to keep
it in place.</div>

<b>Elegant Pony</b></div>
<div class="Standard">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard" style="text-align: justify;">
If you're going to a formal affair or just want to look
stunning, try this super elegant style. Pull your hair back into a low pony,
then run some smoothing cream over top to tame any frizz. Leave a strand at the
back of your ponytail out, then secure it with a holder. Wrap the piece that is
out around the holder so that you can't see it. Tuck the end into the elastic on
the underside of the ponytail.</div>
<div class="Standard" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="Standard" style="text-align: justify;">
Fold your hair down, then bring it back up towards the
underside of your hair so that you create a folded bun. Secure the ends of your
hair with bobby pins under the ponytail holder and you're good to go. Your 'do
will look so amazing you're sure to get compliments.</div>
