look of the day

today i bring you two for the price of one in the look of the day!


first up, the hair:




headbands, no matter how stylish, don't always stay in place. but the latest do-it-yourself version sported by budding fashion mogul Lauren Conrad is not only easy and free, but also stays put from dawn to dusk.

INSIDER TRICK: no product necessary! make a deep side part, then create a thin french braid along your hairline starting with a half-inch piece next to the part. Secure the end of the braid with a clear elastic, and tuck it behind your ear.


and for skin...




quickly achieve a believable faux tan, by using a gel bronzer applied in a thin, even veil.











INSIDER TRICK: powder bronzers can turn cakey with humidity and perspiration. to get Lauren Conrad's look, dab gel bronzer along each cheekbone, on your forehead and your chin and blend in with a makeup wedge. try Guerlain Terracotta Fresh Bronzing Gel, available online.
