We’ve covered both Betty and Joan, so now it’s Sterling Cooper’s most fab (and feminine) Junior Copy Writer’s turn. Peggy Olsen is a no-nonsense gal. Hardworking, smart, and frugal, she’s not one to waste hours in front of the mirror, or on expensive beauty products, which is why her appeal is simple and understated. Steal her look with these tips and tools. . .
1. Goomed Brows
E.L.F. Brow Comb and Brush, $1, and Slant Tweezers, $1, will keep eyebrows prim and precise.
2. Understated Lips
Not one to welcome attention (to anything other than her sweet copy writing skills) Revlon Moon Drops Lipstick in Crystal Cut Coral, $8.99, or Jane Lipkick Lipstick in Not So Innocent Pink, $4.04, are perfect choices to maintain her polished pout sans too much flash.
3. Girl-ish Curls
Until recently, Peggy has stayed true to a simple ponytail and curled bangs. For a similar look, try Revlon Hair Curling Iron, $9.94, and Scrunci Elastics, $3.19.
4. Even, Flawless Skin
If you work late nights like Peggy, and have the dark circles under-eye to prove it, fake fresh, flawless skin with E.L.F. Tone Correcting Concealer, $1, and Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil On The Go, $28. The latter would be a splurge for Peggy, but one that — with it’s awesome coverage and easy applicator — is well worth it. Girl’s got better things to do with her time than stand in front of the mirror powdering her nose. One sweep of this sucker and she’s good to go.
5. Bare, Curled Lashes
Unlike the other ladies in the office, Peggy doesn’t rock the mascara. Instead her natural lashes seemed to have a simple curl. Try CoverGirl Makeup Masters Lash Curler, $3.99, for the look.
6. Bare Nails
While they’re not painted, Peggy’s nails are always well-maintained. Sally Hansen Hard As Nails, $2.99, and Revlon Emery Boards, $1.99, will help
7. Signature Scent
Peggy’s signature scent would be mysterious and complex — just like her. Perhaps L’Eau D’Issey by Issey Miyake, $55, Prada by Prada, $54, or Narciso Rodriguez for Her, $60.
