Nicole Beckley, Director of Marketing and Media at Merlot Skin Care

Beckley worked for a startup in Silicon Valley before ascending to her high-ranking position at Merlot Skin Care.

Signature look:
"Natural and approachable, but polished. My work tends to be more business-focused, so I try to keep my makeup simple to match the environment. Light foundation, rosy or dark pink lip color, a sweep of mascara and dark brown eyeliner. I have longer hair and tend to wear it down and lightly curled. I'm a big fan of Suave's Sleek Anti-Frizz Cream for giving my hair a little shine and moisture. I've also found that in a time-crunch, a high bun or chignon are hairstyles that look elegant and only take a few minutes to achieve."

Ultimate advice:
"Drinking enough water is essential for bringing out the best in your skin. Especially in a more business-focused setting, too much makeup or heavy foundation can be distracting. A natural healthy complexion goes a long way."

"An mentor of mine told me it was important to always keep your nails looking nice, especially when you know you might be shaking people's hands. In the business space, a classic French manicure or a neutral shade is always a good bet."

Beauty power play:
"Get enough sleep! Seven or eight hours can do wonders for how you look and feel. When we take care of ourselves we show others how much we value ourselves, and we encourage them to value us as well."
