Beauty Secrets Spilled

It is no coincidence that stars like Molly Simms and Lauren Conrad always look perfectly primped and freshly coiffed – trust us, it takes a village.  These style icons travel with professional dream teams to help them appear perpetually polished everywhere they go.

To get the behind the scenes scoop, we caught up with their A-list hairstylist Edward Tricomi (yep, as in Warren-Tricomi Salons) and celebrity makeup artist Carmindy and got them each to spill their top three hottest summer beauty secrets. 

Tricomi Talks: Tame your Tresses

#1: Deep conditioning treatments are essential in summertime since hair gets beat up by the sun, wind and salty ocean water.  Try to deep condition once per month in the summertime.

#2: Wet hair styles, or styles done straight out of the shower, are great for summer. Deep side part ponytails and low buns are chic and simple.

#3: The best way to combat frizz is to choose hairstyles that don’t allow it.  A great do-it-yourself hairstyle is a simple braid across the front. Take wet or dry hair, make a side part and braid the hair from the part straight down and secure with a rubber band. This style looks sophisticated but it pulls the hair away from the face, which is often essential in the heat.

Carmindy Muses: Minimal Makeup

#1: Cream eye shadows can melt off your eyes or crease in summer’s heat. For staying power, choose sheer washes of powder shadow.

#2: Sweep a little shimmery golden bronzer over tanned skin to accentuate your glow.

#3: Pink lips look great on self-tanned faces. This combo also makes your teeth appear whiter.
