Vanessa Hudgens stole our hearts in the High School Musical series. However, this actress's personal beauty tricks are much different than those of innocent Gabriella's in the hallways of East High, according to Seventeen Magazine.

When she first stepped on the scene on the Disney Channel in 2004, she seemed to stick to Gabriella's style, even off-screen. The actress's boho-chic look began to emerge in 2006. Gold eyeshadow palettes seemed perfect for this brown-eyes beauty, and she is commonly seen wearing long necklaces and big earrings.

Hudgens also became known for wearing her long, dark locks in loose waves or elegant curls. The news source points out that Hudgens seems to shine her brightest when she is rocking her hair's gorgeous texture. Even all glammed up with red lips and a smoky eye for the Academy Awards in 2009, the dark curls that fell down her back recalled her natural beauty.

Now, the actress has chopped off her signature waves, but her almost-pixie cut allows her delicate features to stand out. Just a swipe of lip gloss and a neutral eyeshadow palette allow this star to shine today.
