head this yearand instead, curl your hair to achieveall-over
volume, and thentuck one sidebehind your ear for a sleek look, like
stylists did at Jenny Packham's runway show.
Getty/Imaxtree2. Forced waves:Really done-up hair can look
contrived rather than effortlesslycool. For a more current take on
curls, opt for unpolished bends (seen at theNarciso Rodriguez
show), which youcan create with aflat iron.

3. Noticeablecontouring:This year it's all aboutsubtle
contouring,which will give you a more natural outcome andstill
sculpt your cheekbones to perfection.For a tutorial on the right
way to shade your face, clickhere.
Getty/Imaxtree4. Fan-likelashes:Amping up your lashes is a
surefire way to draw attention to your eyes, but it has to be done
the right way or else your fringeends up looking really fake. To
make sure your lashes looking natural instead of like a fan, apply
several coats of mascara, waiting a minute inbetween applications
so the formula properly adheres to the coat before it. Or
useindividual falsies, or cuta lashstrip in half and apply it to
the outer corner of your eye only.
Getty/Imaxtree5. Overdrawnlips:If you have super-thin lips and
want to create a larger look, then follow this tutorial byJessie
James Decker. Otherwise, if you already have anAngelina Jolie-like
pout, stick to a barely there nude lip or just use balm,since a
light pastel shade makes lips look plump, andthe last thing you
need is for your lips to not be proportionate tothe rest of your
features.
Getty/Imaxtree6. TheI Dream of Jeannieponytail:Unless you can
perform a spell bywiggling your nose, bring your ponytail down a
few inches between the crown of your head and the nape of your neck
for a more sophisticated look.Or, you can alwaysswitch up your look
with one ofthese otherpretty ponys.

7.Super-darksmokyeyes:It's always more flattering when a smoky
eye has dimension, rather than jet black from your lash line to
your brow bone. To make sure yours is multi-dimensional, like the
one here at Chanel,pick up a no-fail palette that includes all the
colorsyou need to pull off a sexy smoky eye, likeChanel Les 4
Ombres Quadra Eye Shadow in "Smoky Eyes."
Getty/Imaxtree8. Insanely long extensions:This length is perfect
for pulling off anElsa-inspired sidebraid,but this year it's all
about texture andshort, chic cuts, so take a cue from T.Swift.
Getty9. Sharp and boxyPinterest brows:You know what they look
like: They're overly filled in andsquared off at the beginning, and
look like they were drawn on with a stencil. Makeupisn't geometry
class! Your brows should always lookfeathery and lightly colored
in,sothey leave you looking youthful and fresh-faced, rather than
harsh and fake. See: any picture ofCara Delevingne, or one of the
models at theCarolina Herrera showbelow.

10. Lavender locks:Pale purple has had a long reign, but in
2015, it's all about jewel-tone shades that mimic a dark,
almost-naturalshade la Nicole Richie's sapphire strands.
Getty11. Beyond bronzed skin:If your skin tone rivals that of an
Oompa Loompa, reel in the spray tans or real tans. Here's why:The
former makes you look like you've been stuck on a tropical island
for years without SPF andthe latter causes cancer! To get a
natural-looking glow, clickhereandhere.

for a more natural, sun-kissed finish that grows out beautifully)
is back, proving to be the prettiest way tocolor your hairin
2015.

nailsneed to stay in 2014. In 2015, file your nails into a shape
that mimics that of your cuticles for a more natural look.

14. Highlighter overload:This comingyear feels like the perfect
timetostop shining spotlights on your face with excessive amounts
of whiteshimmery formulas. If you want your brows or cheekbonesto
pop, use a pink champagne (for fair skin tones) orrose gold
highlighter (for medium to dark skin tones) or even a concealer
that's one shade lighter than your coloring. Or, better yet, skip
patting onany highlighter for a gorgeous"I woke up like this"
look.
Getty/Imaxtree15. Side-swept hair withsidecornrows:If you want a
badass look this year, swap out side-swept hair with cornrows
andspring for a braided mohawk, a rocker sidebraid, or JBF
sexybedhead hair.
Getty/Imaxtree16. 3-D nail art:It's no longer aboutbuilding 3-D
designs on your nails. This year,it's all aboutshorter nail lengths
andnegative space,which means your natural nail shows through the
design. For some negative space nail inspo, check out below nails
from Sophie Theallet, along with theseother cool designs.

17. Crazy graphic liner:Let's be honest, you're not wearing this
out with your guy on Friday night. But don't worry, the liner looks
for 2015 are much more wearable and therefore sexier.
Getty/Imaxtree18. Foreheadbraids:Headband braids haven't died,
but they are taking a backseat to sexier, more sophisticated plaits
like the rope braid seen at Donna Karan.
Getty/Imaxtree19. Blacklipstick:Since black lipstick is actually
pretty difficult to pull off, stash your blackbullet (if you ever
purchased one when it was trending last year) for berry-colored lip
color, like Kendall's, which complements all skin tones.
Getty/Imaxtree20. OD'ing on eye shadow:One way to look super
gorgeous in the New Year, while incorporating color into the mix,
is to use small pops of color, rather than overdoing the eye
shadow. Take this model at Dior's spring show for example. Makeup
artist Peter Philips had Dior create satin fabric stickers that he
placed along the models' upper lash lines for a touch of color.
Bonus:These babies will be on sale this spring.
