"I kept the curls tight knowing the length would help it drop into a loose wave," he adds. To finish, Vetica brushed through the spirals, teased the roots, and misted with hairspray.

INSIDE SCOOP "By using primer and tinted moisturizer, we were able to admire Kate's natural complexion," makeup artist Molly Stern told us.
