Hairstyle Tip: Start this sophisticated pony by blowdrying hair straight. Brush hair back into a tight low pony and secure with an elastic. Next, curl the ponytail hair with an iron held vertically. Curl large and small sections to vary the look. Wrap a small section of hair around the elastic to cover it and secure with a pin underneath the pony. Smooth shine serum over the top of the hair to finish.

Hairstyle Tip: Start this braided updo by securing hair into a high pony, leaving out sections on either side of the bottom of your head and in the front. Tease the top of the pony for volume, then roll the ends under and secure with bobby pins. Slightly fan out the sides of the pony and pin into place to create the smooth bun look you see in the photo. Now braid each of the bottom sections of your hair and pin the braids around the bun. Leave the front sections of hair hanging to frame your face. Want to try another braided look? Check out this video.
Makeup Tip: Create Swift's fun cat-eye look with liquid liner (this video will show you how to use it). Line upper lids and extend the lines out slightly.
Hairstyle Tip: Use a small (1/2 inch) curling iron to curl small sections of hair (all in the same direction) while holding the iron vertically.

Makeup Tip: To get lashes as long as Duff's you'll need to apply false ones. This video will show you how to master the technique.
Hairstyle Tip: You'll need a teasing comb to create this high-volume look (find one here). Tease the crown of your hair until you achieve the volume you want, then pin the sides of hair back into a half-up style. Curl the ends of your hair with a curling iron.
