THE LOOK: "This look was all about enhancing each girls’ individual style to allow their natural beauty to shine through, so we used the new TRESemmé Between Washes Style Refresh All-In-One Spray to create a look that was chic, but not too overpowering," said hairstylist and TRESemmé Global Stylist, Justine Marjan. For makeup, the popsicle-stained lip trend showed up once again. This time, with a glossy finish and groomed brows.
