Add major oomph to your look with minimal effort via one of these hair and makeup beauty quickies.

Just add blush

Stephanie Hops has gorgeous eyes, no question. But look how a little cheek color makes everything pop! Makeup artist Marie-Josée Lafontaine applied a rosy shade to the apples of Stephanie’s cheeks to play up her skin and eyes. Try Shiseido Accentuating Powder Powder Blush in Playful Pink ($28, sephora.com).

Control frizz

“Unruly hair can be a nightmare,” says stylist David Evangelista of the Salon at the Cornelia Day Resort in NYC. He scrunched a smoothing cream into Jessica Santiage’s hair to instantly tame and reform her curls. One we like: L'Oréal Professional Liss Extreme Smoothing Cream ($23, drugstore.com).

Get a face-framing cut

Ultra-long locks were useful for Rapunzel, but all they did for Jessica Garvey was weigh her down. Evangelista lopped off eight inches to give Jessica a swingy, layered bob—her sassy new attitude appeared shortly after the cut. Emphasize piecey ends with a texturizer like Alberto VO5 Extreme Style Texturizing Gum ($4, drugstore.com).

And speaking of length—lose it!

Another reason to say yes to scissors: You’ll get major body! Shannon Grooms went from flat to fabulous after sitting in Evangelista’s chair. “Long hair is pretty, but it can really drag your roots down,” Evangelista says. For even more oomph, use a round brush when blow-drying.

Sweep grown-out bangs to the side

When you’re growing out bangs like Trisha Patel is, you might find yourself in a style rut. A mini-pompadour is great for getting fringe out of your face, but don’t forget how flattering simply brushing it to the side can be. Use a shot of hairspray like Suave Professionals Vibrant Shine Finishing Hairspray ($3, drugstore.com) to keep your bangs in place.

Line your eyes

Oh, the power of black! With the swipe of a pencil, Joanna Wang goes from girl-next-door cute to big-night-out sexy. As for that little flick at the outer corner: “It’s not as tricky as it looks; just follow the curve up toward your eyebrow,” Lafontaine says. Try Rimmel Soft Kohl Eye Pencil in Jet Black ($3.50, drugstore.com).
