Beauty Fact 1. It’s all in the makeup

Number 1 reason to try this look? A slick pulled back ponytail can let you really focus on mastering your makeup-no hair will be in your face. So indulge in different shades of bronzers and blushes because they won’t be wiped away by flowing hair.

Beauty Fact 2. You can dress it up

We know, ponytails can be boring but we have the remedy for that. Take a comb and place a part in the center, or side of your head. Want to add an accessory? Place a great headband, flower, or ponytail holder in your hair.

Beauty Fact 3. It’s so easy

Who ever said “life isn’t easy” has never worn a ponytail. Ponytails are quick to do in the mornings and stay put all day. Going out in the evening? Ponytails need no extra primping and will leave you cool while dancing the night away.
