Rule #1: Don't Be Afraid To Shine
"I love using Vaseline under my brows and on my eyelids and cheekbones. It's the perfect thing to add just a little bit of shine."
Rule #2: Contour, Contour, Contour
"I’ve learned a lot about contouring from [makeup artists] Charlotte Tilbury and Wendy Rowe. Using the technique is one of my current beauty obsessions."

Rule #3: Use Unexpected Ingredients
"I rinse my hair with Coca-Cola sometimes because it gives it the perfect amount of volume and texture."
Rule #4: Look To Your Girl Crushes For Inspiration
"I love Sienna Miller's hair—she always looks amazing, especially when she had it that pale pink color. I also love Marion Cotillard's look, and Emma Stone has a really cute haircut."

Rule #5: Seek Out Natural Remedies
"I use raw honey on my skin—it makes it feel incredibly soft."
Rule #6: Take Risks
"I'd really like to have an undercut [hairstyle]. I would love to try it all—even dye [my hair] pink! I always wonder what I would look like if I wasn’t modeling. I'd be able to really change up my look."

Rule #7: Work With Your Natural Texture
"My hair is naturally wavy. During the summer, I believe in embracing the heat and what it does to my hair—a little sweat gives it a certain texture. It works, because I like a messy effect. To enhance the look, I use a texture spray like Redken Fashion Waves 07 Sea Salt Spray and then finish with Redken Diamond Oil for shine."
