" \nExpert research has found that your makeup and mane effects can have an impact on how others perceive you. The fab thing about this: You can work it to your advantage. Read on to find the beauty signals that will send others the message you want.   First Impressions &amp;quot;We make an assumption about someone within 10 seconds of being introduced,&amp;quot; says Oregon State social psychologist Frank Bernieri, Ph.D. &amp;quot;This impression is largely based on his or her looks -- and doesn&amp;#039;t change very easily.&amp;quot;  Confident and Powerful  The look: &amp;quot;Makeup and hair messages that indicate maturity make you come across as secure,&amp;quot; says Bernieri. Prominent brows, bold lips and hair that&amp;#039;s pulled off the face look adult and suggest self-assurance.&amp;quot;  How to get it: Make your brows stand out more by filling them in with a pencil, says makeup artist Tracy Crystal, who created the effects on these pages. We like Stila Browset Pencil, $14. Then apply a vibrant deep berry lipstick. We like American Beauty Luxury for Lips in Sweetart, $12.50. And go for a simple half-up hairstyle so your facial features are extra noticeable, says Redken hairstylist Rick Gradone, who whipped up these looks.  Ideal occasions: When you want to really intrigue a guy or land your dream gig   Friendly and Approachable  The look: Certain physical cues invite people into your orbit. &amp;quot;Anything that mimics a childlike appearance -- such as wide eyes, rosy cheeks, plump pink lips and shiny, tousled hair -- makes a person seem accessible,&amp;quot; says Caroline Keating, Ph.D., a professor of psychology at Colgate University.  How to get it: Sweep on a sparkly champagne shadow to make your orbs appear XXL, says Crystal. Try Bobbi Brown Shimmer Wash Eye Shadow in Champagne, $19. Apply a rosy-peachy cream blush to cheeks. Then produce a pillowy pout with sheer pink gloss. We like Est\u00E9e Lauder Pure Color Gloss in Pink Sugar, $20. For touchable tresses, use a large-barrel curling iron to get soft, loose waves, suggests Gradone.  Ideal occasions: When you want to meet a new man or just socialize up a storm   Classic and Sophisticated The look: Women who desire an elegant air (think Gwyneth Paltrow) want to come off as calm, cool and collected. To match that polished personality message, they often go for an understated, well-proportioned effect. Aim for toned-down, balanced makeup and hair cues, says Bernieri. &amp;quot;No single feature should overpower another.&amp;quot;  How to get it: An urbane babe always looks flawless, so use base to even out your skin. Try Cover-Girl Advanced Radiance Compact Foundation, $10. &amp;quot;On the rest of your face, stick to subdued colors,&amp;quot; says Crystal. Tresses should be sleek. Run smoothing cream through them before blow-drying and flat-ironing, recommends Gradone. We love Kiehl&amp;#039;s Silk Straightening Cream, $14.  Ideal occasions: When you&amp;#039;re invited to dinner with his parents or hitting a fancy soiree  Wild and Ready to Party The look: The perfect good-time-girl appears fun and flirtatious but also a bit intimidating. &amp;quot;Her look is provocative because it both invites and deflects approach,&amp;quot; explains Keating. &amp;quot;For example, when come-hither curls are paired with dark, dominant, daring eyes, these mixed signals may exude an attractive coyness.&amp;quot;  How to get it: Crystal suggests a deep purple smoky eye, with several coats of black mascara, natch. A fab lash enhancer: Lanc\u00F4me L&amp;#039;Extr\u00E9me, $22. To avoid overkill, stick with a nude lip gloss and minimal blush. Go for wild yet touchable spirals. Scrunch a curl enhancer onto damp strands and blow-dry with a diffuser, says Gradone. We love Pantene Pro-V Curls Defining Comb-in Treatment, $4.  Ideal occasions: When you want to be the life of the party or seduce a guy without saying a word "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
