Vanessa Hudgens is on the cover of InStyle Makeover. What is InStyle Makeover you ask? Great question, it’s a nifty little InStyle offshoot that just focuses on female self-improvement. You know, 300 wasy to get better style, lose that pesky 10 pounds, plus all sorts of hair and makeup secrets. That kind of stuff.

In the magazine, Hudgens talks about her little girl beauty regime:

“I went through my red lipstick stage at 10,” she says. “My mom really let me play, which in the long run has given me the confidence to experiment. Now I wear everything — reds, corals, nudes.” But as any beauty maven knows, getting experimental doesn’t come without a few beauty disasters, particularly when it comes to hair. “I had short hair only once in my life,” she reveals. “When I was 7, I cut it myself, which I think every girl does — once. I gave myself a bob and bangs. It was really sad. I looked like I had worms on my head.”
