BEAUTY NOTES

Hair: "Show off the natural texture of the hair," said Nino Altobelli, creative director of Rocco Altobelli. "Don't make it controlled and keep it loose." On Liz, he used Alto Bella's Shine Drops to add healthy protection. On Talia, he used Alto Bella's PlayClay to shield hair from the heat of the flat iron.

Makeup: Pinks are in on cheeks and eyes. "Play up your lips or your eyes and then keep everything else more natural," said Tracy Bobeldyk, who did makeup for this shoot. She recommends buying a quad of colors to play with and then tossing it at the end of the season.
