Master The Chignon

Perfect for every occasion from a night out to a day exploring the city, a messy-yet-polished chignon is the bridge between one and done and done up.

Fake A Flush

Italian women know just how to make their complexions look like baby skin. Pat a cream blush on the outer corners of your cheeks and on the lips and lids. That way your skin will look naturally rosy and not like you're wearing makeup.

Embrace Your Texture

For wavy or curly hair, a shaggy cut and textured bangs just scream Italian beauty. Just make sure to choose a stylist that specializes in curls.
