The Knot

This fresh take on the bun says \"I\'m too busy having fun to worry about perfect hair.\" Side-part hair and gather it all into a low knot, leaving out two 1-inch sections along your hairline on each side of the part. Secure the knot with hairpins, then wrap the two loose sections around the outside of a medium-barreled curling iron. Release, then tuck them behind your ears.
Hair Ribbons

Old-fashioned trimmings look as pretty in your hair as they do on all the new fall clothes. Back-comb a section of hair at your crown (see \"Teasing,\" page 64), then smooth the strands along your hairline back over the teased section. Secure your style with a 2-foot ribbon tied underneath at the nape of your neck.
ZigZag Headbands

Trendy and practical—what\'s not to love? Make a loose, messy ponytail or bun, then slide a plastic zigzag headband (try Scunci Stretch Combs, $3 for three, at drugstores) into place about 1 inch from your hairline without smoothing your flyaways.
Cream Blush

Cream blushes are easy to blend and leave a dewy, natural-looking flush like you get when you work out. HOW TO APPLY IT: Use your fingers to gently dab cream blush in tiny circles on your apples, then blend it upward along your cheekbones toward your temples. For lighter skin tones, use a rosy pink shade (try Revlon Cream Blush in Berry Flirtatious, right, $10, at drugstores). For darker skin tones, use a reddish pink (try Stila Convertible Color in Orchid, $20,
gloss.com). CG! TIP: Don\'t top cream blush with lots of pressed powder. If your complexion feels oily during the day, just dab gently with blotting papers (try Biore Shine Control Blotting Sheets, $6, at drugstores).
Cream Eye Shadow

Cream shadows dry after you apply them, leaving a crease-proof sheen that wakes up your eyes and makes your skin glow. HOW TO APPLY IT: Use your ring finger to blend a golden rose cream shadow along lash lines (try Laura Mercier Metallic Cream Eye Colour in Rose Gold, left, $22, at Nordstrom) and a shimmery pink shadow from lids to just above creases (try CoverGirl Shadow Squease in Carnation, $5, at drugstores). CG! TIP: Cream shadow\'s reflective finish draws attention to stray brow hairs, so use tweezers (try Tweezerman Slant Tweezer, $22,
tweezerman.com) to clean up your arches before you apply.
