I'M A HUGE BRIGITTE BARDOT FAN and I just love this do with the slightly-teased crown {actually and the hair colour and the make-up too}...
* Adding a little height to any length 'do can add a little va-va voom glamour!
To DIY this classic Brigitte Bardot look, blow-dry hair with a round brush, then set it in hot rollers to amp up the volume. After taking out the rollers, part hair in the middle, then lightly tease the underside of the crown with a fine-tooth comb to give it a bit of lift. Skim a paddle brush over the surface of your crown to smooth any fuzz.

HOW GORGEOUS IS NATALIA'S SKIN? It's just beauty-full...
Genes have a lot to do with it but you can get a similar dewy effect yourself by following these 3 steps:
1. Polishing your skin with a gentle exfoliator that contains round scrubbing beads - they're even gentle enough for sensitive complexions.
2. Follow with a lightweight moisturiser on dry areas like the forehead and cheeks, where there are fewer oil glands.
3. If you need a bit of coverage, brush on translucent powder instead of pressed—it provides an airy, more natural finish.

HERE'S HOW TO GET YOUR SMOOTHEST SHAVE EVER...
* Choose a razor with five blades. Once you're in the shower or bath, wait three minutes for warm water to soften hair. Instead of soap (it clogs your razor), use a shaving cream or gel (it creates a smooth barrier between your skin and the blades). In a pinch, hair conditioner or a creamy body wash can work.
For legs: Start above the ankle and work upward in six-inch sections. Rinse the razor between each stroke. To get your knees and ankles, pull the skin taut with one hand and glide the razor with the other.
For underarms: Shave at different angles, since the hair grows every which way. Move the blade upward, then down, then across, rinsing it clean and relathering between strokes.
For the bikini line: Avoid irritation by angling the blade in the direction of hair growth and gently shaving with the grain.
HERE'S HOW TO GET A SUPER-SMOOTH KISSER in time for Valentine's...
1. Exfoliate: First apply a thick slick of lip balm to soften lips and leave for 10 minutes. Next gently exfoliate away dry, flaky skin with soft baby toothbrush using light circular motions.
If you suffer from super-dry lips exfoliate once a week until your lips are completely smooth.
2. Moisturise: Apply a creamy balm containing petrolatum, shea butter, hyaluronic acid, dimethicone, or ceramides. Avoid waxy formulas (their ingredients may not penetrate) as well as anything heavily flavoured or fragranced (which can make chapping even worse).
3. Add colour: Try a tinted lip treatment like Lanolips that is super-hydrating and super-glossy -

TO GET MORE OUT OF YOUR MASCARA - AND MAXIMISE YOUR LASHES - try these insider tricks...
1. Start by curling your lashes. Gently pinch lashes at the roots and then move along the length, making pulse-like squeezes as you go.
2. Apply mascara by wiggling the wand back and forth at the roots to deposit as much of it as possible before pulling the wand straight up.
3. To make lashes look long and separated, apply three coats of mascara—but comb through the mascara while it's still wet with a clean, dry mascara brush.
