"6 Beauty Lessons We&amp;#39;ve Learned From Olivia Wilde\\nWhen you think of Olivia Wilde, you don&amp;#39;t think of gobs of makeup and out-there hair. And that&amp;#39;s a good thing. Her cool-girl style is all about her minimalist approach&amp;#8212;and her willingness to try anything. Allow us to explain.\\nIt's no wonder Wilde would be cool with walking the red carpet nearly bare-faced\u2014we don't see any pores, do you? With skin this even (...and lineless...and radiant), the actress proves that a look doesn't need to be complicated to be pretty. And, with the right foundation, this kind of perfection is easy to fake: [Revlon Nearly Naked Makeup SPF 20](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/makeup/foundation/2013/revlon-nearly-naked-makeup) is one of our favorites.\\nFinding out how to play up your best feature is one thing, but finding a million different ways to do it? That's the stuff of beauty geniuses. Sultry smoky eyes, colorful shadows, winged liner: Wilde has plenty of tricks in her makeup bag when it comes to captivating us with her insanely green eyes. Though we're not surprised: She *is* a Revlon spokeswoman.\\nSome women love to pile on their makeup: contoured cheeks, bold lips, smoky eyes, and fake lashes out to there. Wilde is not one of those women. And we love her for it. By picking one feature to go after, Wilde tends to keep the rest of her makeup clean and simple, on and off the red carpet.\\nWilde's been doing the shoulder-length ombr\u00E9 thing recently, but she's no stranger to change when it comes to her hair. Long, short, blonde, or bangs, this is one actress that isn't married to a specific style. With good reason: Switching up your haircut or color is an easy way to instantly refresh your look\u2014no extreme makeover necessary.\\nOK, not *actual* bedhead, but perfectly tousled hair with major sex appeal. Though Wilde makes it look effortless (and that is the goal), undone hair that's the right amount of roughed-up takes some doing: Mist a texturizing spray, such as [Shu Uemura Art of Hair Liquid Fabric Mineral Texture Spray,](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/hair/2010/shu-uemura-mineral-texture-spray) over towel-dried hair and blow-dry with a ceramic round brush. Lightly tease the crown for volume and curl a few random pieces with a large-barrel curling iron.\\nLackluster hair can really suck the life out of a look\u2014not that Wilde would know: Hers is so glossy, it belongs in a TV commercial. A dose of shine makes strands look strong and healthy, even if you're due for a haircut. A few of our favorite shine-boosters? [John Frieda Clear Shine Luminous Glaze](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/hair/2010/john-frieda-color-glaze-clear) and [Redken Shine Brilliance Glass 01 Smoothing Serum.](http://www.allure.com/beauty-products/hair/2010/redken-shine-smoothing-serum)"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
