Olivia has very pronounced features but her overall look on the cover is very soft and ethereal. To achieve that the object is to create large curls and volume to soften the look. You can achieve the look in three simple steps and just two products.
1. Massage Prive's Concept Vert Volumizing Froth into wet hair. This product is enriched with Amazon acai and babassu oil which gives hair body, volume and definition while leaving it soft, shiny and full of bounce.
2. Blow dry and use a large barrel curling iron to create soft waves.
Pro tip: A clipless curling iron, or a regular curling iron without its clamp function, will help you produce natural waves.
3. Softly brush out hair and spritz with Prive's Finishing Texture Spray, which holds style but still gives hair movement.

Prep: First always start with a good facial moisturizer. Try Journee by Neocutis or La Roche Posay Anthelios with an eye cream such as Lumiere by Neocutis to de-puff and eliminate dark circles.
Face: Use a light foundation or tinted moisturizer. Sally Hansen Natural Beauty foundation offers light coverage with a smooth finish, allowing your natural beauty to come through.
Eyes: Apply a shimmery cream over the entire lid such as Lustre Drops by M.A.C. in Pink Rebel. Just a small amount glides on beautifully, and a natural shimmering highlight shows through the other eyeshadows. Then apply a shimmery pale pink shadow from the lash line to the crease with an eyeshadow fluff brush; try Covergirl Eye Enhancers in Champagne. Add a quick dusting of Tapestry Taupe in the crease to add a little definition. Apply a light coat of Revlon Fabulash Mascara in Blackened Brown to both upper and lower lashes.
Cheeks: Use a fluffy powder brush to dust a peachy-pink highlighter down the bridge of your nose and onto the neck, such as Physicians Formula Happy Booster Glow and Mood Boosting Powder. Add a matte pink blush to the cheeks such as M.A.C. Blush in Pink Swoon or budget-friendly Maybelline mineral power illuminator in Pink.
Lips: Use a sheer pink lipstick with a light layer of clear gloss to complete the look. Wet N Wild Lip Balm in Tart or Frost will work well.
Finish: Add a glow by applying Benefit Watts Up. Using your ring finger, rub it lightly on the upper part of the cheek bones, above the arch of the brow, and below the cheek, closer to the hairline to add a beautiful glow.
