28 Brilliant Beauty Hacks That Will Change the Way You Apply Makeup

Everyone wants the cool-girl, undone look of a windswept ponytail, but achieving it at home usually results in a style that's more messed up than mussed. Bob Recine for Moroccanoil revealed his technique to perfect imperfection backstage at Monique Lhuillier. "After creating the ponytail, I loosely go over the front pieces with a brush, picking them up a little bit." You should use a very light hand to do this as you are only trying to pull out small, wispy sections, not large segments of hair. To make the look extra piecey, apply a mousse like Moroccanoil Volumizing Mousse ($28) to your fingertips, and then gently tug at little groups of hair to create texture.
