Paulina's Fashion-Forward Makeover

After a long summer, this low-maintenance Angeleno wanted to add an edge to her laidback look

The Makeup
To complement Paulina's new bangs and further highlight her eyes, makeup artist Taylor Babian created a dramatic smoky eye. Instead of the usual charcoals and greys, Babian opted for a more on-trend look by picking shadows in rich greens -- Pantone's color of the year and the perfect jewel tone for fall.

Babian blended the shadows onto her lids just past the outer corners of the eyes, and around the lower lashline. Then, she heavily lined Paulina's eyes with black kohl eyeliner and applied false lashes to make her eyes pop. "I really like the fake lashes," said Paulina. "I wish they were permanent!" To keep the focus of the look on the eyes, Babian balanced the bold look with a nude lip.

The Final Look
"It looks great, I'm so happy with it!" said Paulina. She loved Dessmare's vernissage treatment, which is low-maintenance because the layering grows out well over time. "My favorite part is the extra oomph it gives my hair color, while still having that natural look -- it looks like I didn't do much to get this shine." And those new bangs? "I feel like they really up my style cred. I feel more edgy and more chic. I can't wait to start shopping for my fall wardrobe!"
