You have to be Beautiful!

Tara Smith has been at the premiere of Quentin Tarantinos film Inglourious Basterds and the Cartier International Polo this week, and styled pal Neve Campbells hair for both events. Cartier International PoloSays Tara, Neves hair has been though a lot recently. She had a gorgeous ammonia-free Organic Care Systems perm because she loves curls, but her hair was repeatedly straightened out for her recent filming so was in need of some nourishment. I washed it with Tara Smith Feed The Root shampoo and conditioner, giving it an extra hit of gloss, and then applied my Tara Smith Base Coat Serum to prime the hair and give it extra hydration and nutrients.”"I then blow-dried it using a round vent brush, section by section, pulling the hair up, and ensuring the curl was smooth. I then used a bristle paddle brush and did a bit of gentle backcombing, giving the hair a tousled look. I sectioned up the hair and used a curling iron to put more body into her hair. To make it into more of a wave I loosened the curl by running my fingers through it and combing it so it drops. I fixed the hair back leaving the front section out and attached a flower hairpiece in her fringe to keep it off her face. To finish, I spritzed with Tara Smith Top Coat Glosser for A-list shine and the delicious smell of organic sweet orange.”Premiere of Inglourious BasterdsI blew Neves hair out for an undone style, took it back, twisted it round and secured with bobby pins. I then backcombed all the left out bits so it looked effortless and undone.Taras natural and organic hair care range is now available in ASDA (from August), online, and in Tesco.

Brow Gel 9.00BAG AND FULL KIT RETAILS AT 40GET THE PERFECT EYEBROWS:Step 1 Eyebrow shapingFor the best results shape brows in good light, preferably daylight, and use a magnifying mirror. Before you pluck, mark any hairs that dont fall inside the guidelines with the White Eye Pencil to ensure that both brows are evenly matched.Use the pencil test to find the most flattering shape for your eyes and determine where your brows should start and end. Starting on the right side, place a pencil vertically along the side of your nose past your eyebrow. Remove any hairs on the bridge of the nose not touched by the pencil – these can make you look as if you are frowning. Next place the pencil diagonally from the edge of your nostril to the outer corner of the eye. Any hairs below the pencil should be removed these can make your eyes appear droopy. Your brows should arch gradually, starting over the pupil. Looking directly into the mirror, place the pencil vertically along the outer part of your iris. Pluck only the stray hairs underneath the natural arch to open up your eyes. Now repeat on the left side.Step 2 – Eyebrow plucking Always pluck out eyebrows in the direction the hairs grow. Pluck after a bath or shower when skin is softened. Rub some baby’s teething ointment or an ice cube on the brows before plucking to help numb the area.Step 3 Eyebrow definition; filling inIf you’ve over plucked your brows in the past they don’t always grow back neatly, dont despair! The Brow Kit contains all the products and techniques you need to correct and define even the sparsest of brows. Follow the pencil trick to see where your eyebrows should begin and end. Using the brush end of the Double Ended Brow Brush start by brushing your eyebrows down (I know this sounds odd but it works!). Then dip the edge of the angled end of the brush in the Universal Brow Powder and etch the colour lightly along the top of the brows. Brush eyebrows back and you’ll see an immediate difference. You can now fill in the gaps from underneath using the same technique.The specially formulated Universal Brow Powder works with your skins PH to give you the perfect shade of brow no matter what your colouring. It will blend perfectly with your shade of brow to give you beautifully groomed and defined eyebrows. The double-ended brush will help define and fill-in brows. The angle of this brush makes it easy to achieve professional results every time.Grooming: Always complete brows whether natural or filled-in with a brush of Brow Gel to seal.Top tips:Contrary to what we’ve all been told in the past, it’s okay to pluck any strays from the top of the brow. You can also use the White Eye Pencil along the inner rim of your eyes to make them look bigger.
