beauty secrets of supermodels

30S SHOULDER LENGTH

"This haircut exhibits a sense of style and complements most face shapes," says David Evangelista, creative director of the eponymous salon at New York City's Cornelia Day Resort. "Plus, it gives you maximum versatility."

GET THE CUT: "It's a very basic blunt cut," notes Paul. "The hair should hit the clavicle bone to give it a slight edge," adds Evangelista. "Have your stylist lightly layer it with thinning shears." If your hair is thick and curly, go an inch and a half longer and thin it out with a razor to make it look more piecey.

STYLING TIPS: Spray Redken's Real Control Thermal Resist ($15.95) on damp hair to smooth frizz and protect against heat damage. "For a straight look like Gwyneth Paltrow's, roll the ends under with a round brush and blow-dry for 10 seconds to give the hair added movement," recommends Evangelista. "For a curlier style like Thandie Newton's, use a one-inch curling iron, holding it vertically to create a natural curl," says Paul. FHI Heat's curling irons ($195 each) use tourmaline crystals and nanotechnology to remove static and add shine to the hair.

"Blake Lively's look is glamorous but still young and playful," says hairstylist Ashley Javier.

GET THE CUT: "Keep layers near the midcheekbone or chin, adding more on the ends so your hair lands in waves," says Bumble and Bumble stylist Jimmy Paul.

STYLING TIPS: Use Pantene Pro-V Texture Foam Wax ($6.49) on damp hair to create texture. Blow-dry while scrunching to get volume. "Then curl two-inch sections, holding the iron vertically, and let the curls drop," says Paul. Finish by combing with your fingers.

Sheer Genius The bare necessities for this "no makeup" look? Rosy-pink blush and lip balm. For a dewy glow, makeup artist Maxine Leonard dabbed Jo Malone Vitamin E lip balm on cheekbones, inner eye corners--and lips, of course. Then she carefully filled out the brows and brushed them up. "With a fresh, natural look, it's important to have groomed brows. They frame the face and add definition," she says.
