Playing with makeup and tossing our tresses over is the mightiest weapon a girl has. Like Gwen Stefani said, “I want to be a guy, but I want to wear a lot of makeup.” So should you. That. And turn your hair around ever so often. We worked six eternally fresh looks on actor Anjana Sukhani, giving her personality a twist with each. Because that’s the power of playing dress-up: You can be whoever you want to be.

“When you’re young, you must wear lots of mascara. When you’re older, you must wear more.” —Sybil Thorndike, My Week With Marilyn

Go crazy with the mascara, because nothing opens up your eyes or defines them more. Stay clean with the rest of your face for a strong look.

“She was the most beautiful creature on Earth her hair said so in that language only hair can speak.” —Gabriel Bá, Daytripper

Textured, flowy hair expresses femininity. Keep it soft with nude colours for the face.

“Beauty, to me, is being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass red lipstick.” —Gwyneth Paltrow
