La Mujer de Fuego, Olga Tañon, has always sported a timeless style. Even when she switches from light, sunny strands to sexy, dark hair in a matter of months, Olga is a natural when it comes to keeping it low-key and classic. Her signature look is based on neutrals and basics.

Olga wears makeup that, literally, looks good on anyone. It’s simple (so you can play it up with big, colorful accessories) yet chic enough to be worn during the day and easy to glam up for evening.

OLGA TAÑON’S NATURAL LOOK

• On clean, moisturized skin, apply a light-to-medium-coverage foundation and make sure you blend it on your neck and décolletage as well. Tinted moisturizers or BB Creams—both provide a soft veil of color without looking cakey or fake. Try Maybelline Fit Me Foundation ($5.49) or e.l.f. Studio Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 ($3).

• No need to live dangerously and sunbathe in order to obtain Olga’s glow. Now you can “fake the bake” with self-tanners especially designed for the face (which give you a softer and more natural look). You can either blend these with your foundation or rub a little bit on your cheekbones, forehead, nose and chin.

• If you didn’t sleep enough the night before, you can still look as fresh as Olga does. Using a brush, apply your concealer in single dots under your eyes and blend, blend, blend—either with your finger, a sponge or a brush. Creamy concealers tend to look more natural.

• Eyebrows are the pillars of Olga Tañon’s look. Define yours with eyebrow powder and then brush them to eliminate any trace of harsh strokes. Try Milani Brow Fix Kit ($6.49) or MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Brow ($20).

• Eye openers: using a black pencil, line the outer half of your top and bottom lashes. Then smudge brown or black eyeshadow on the crease to create a subtle “V” shape. By doing so, you’ll look more wide-eyed. Try L’Oreal Paris Infallible Eyeliner in Carbon Black ($7.84).

• If you have time to spare, try fake eyelashes. To be honest, it’s not the easiest thing to do the first time around, but the impressive results are worth a try! That´s Olga’s secret to flirtatious eyes. Try Laura Mercier Full Faux Eyelashes ($18).

• Bronzer and blush can do wonders to enhance your complexion, if applied correctly. First, sculpt cheekbones with bronzing powder and blend it well. Then add a dot of rose-peachy color to the apples of our cheeks for a healthy flush. Last but not least, wear a high-shine gloss on your lips. Try Physicians Formula Happy Booster Bronzer & Blush ($13.95) and Wet n Wild Mega Slicks Lip Gloss in Crystal Clear ($1.06).

Olga’s second look is a sophisticated version of the previous one. As you can see, Olga sticks to her basics: bronzed skin, bold eyebrows, and fake eyelashes…but she gives it a twist with metallic shadows and nude lipstick. Perfect for a glam party or date night.

OLGA TAÑON’S SOPHISTICATED LOOK

• Once skin is prepped with foundation and eyebrows are defined, focus on achieving smoky eyes.

• Extend a shimmery copper eye shadow on your eyelids, all the way up to your brows. Then line your eyes with eye shadow and smudge to blend. Then, using a black pencil, line your inner waterline for a refined finish. Try Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Eye Shadow in Copper ($24) blended with Armani Beauty The Neo Palette ($88).

• No excuses! Fakes lashes are a must. Curl your lashes and apply two coats of black mascara. Wait until the mascara is completely dry before you attempt to use fake lashes. If necessary, use a lash comb to eliminate any lumps.Try CoverGirl LashBlast Volume Mascara ($6.99)or Maybelline Volum’ Express Mega Plush Mascara ($5.94).

• A touch of bronzer below your cheekbones is all you need. Apply highlighting cream over your cheekbones and under your brows to light up your face. Try: Smashbox Fusion Soft Lights ($30), Benefit Cosmetics Watt’s Up! ($30) and DiorSkin Nude Dior Natural Radiance Colour & Glow Powder ($55).

• To wrap up this glamorous look, opt for a matte nude lipstick. These hues can be tricky, so go for one that’s slightly more beige than your natural lip color. Try Burberry Lip Cover in Nude Cashmere ($30).
