How To Get Charlize Theron’s Vogue September 2009 Issue Cover Look: Makeup artist Tom Pecheux and hairstylist Oribe teamed up with photographer Mario Testino in New Mexico to shoot Charlize Theron for the Vogue September issue 2009. With Ghost Ranch, artist Georgia O’Keeffe’s stunning desert home, as the backdrop, both stylists decided to keep the look clean and simple—perfect skin and easy, swept-back hair with a touch of texture were the orders of the day.

Here is an exert to Tom’s and Oribe’s tips, tricks, and shopping suggestions for a look as flawless as Charlize Theron as the September Vogue cover girl:
