After perusing through the pictures from Rock a Little, Feed a Lot benefit concert that took place last night in LA, I was struck by all of the completely gorgeous, shiny hair. From Isla Fisher to Christina Applegate to Alanis Morissette, it was all about light-reflective locks. There are countless ways to boost shine through technique and product, including starting off by giving residue and buildup a farewell party with a good clarifying shampoo. And I have even more tips to keep you glossy. Just keep reading.

2009 Primetime Emmy Awards: Christina Applegate

BellaSugar — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 16:17:28 -0700

At last year's awards, Christina Applegate went for bold, red lips and va-voom hair, but this year, it's all about the soft touches. Instead of a tight, pulled-back bun, Christina's hair is styled in a loose, low-slung chignon, and her makeup, while heavy-handed for the camera's flashes, is peaches-and-cream all the way. She's up for an Emmy tonight for her work on the now defunct Samantha Who?, but when it comes to her beauty choices this evening, are you thinking, "Who's that girl?" or is it not her best look?

Christina Applegate seems bright-eyed at the SAG awards, tweaking her Golden Globes look by going for a wavy, softly sculpted updo that's a tad more casual.

How-To: Christina Applegate's Hair at the 2009 Golden Globes

BellaSugar — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 15:50:26 -0800

Last night, Christina Applegate stepped out in a sunshiny, strapless Roberto Cavalli gown with gorgeous necklace to bring out the yellow hue . . . and a glowing face, too. With long bangs falling over her forehead, she chose a sophisticated yet casual style playing up her hair's short length and natural texture. After you check out the makeup tutorial, have a look at stylist Ken Paves's tips for recreating this look at home:

Starting with wet hair, spray Ken Paves Healthy Hair Volumizing Spray at the roots and use a blow dryer while tousling hair with fingers to create lift and add texture.
Just before the hair is completely dry, finish the edges using a teaser-type brush (like this Spornette mixed-bristle brush).
Once dry, add more volumizing spray and collect the hair back with a larger, mixed bristle brush – Paves chose a Mason Pearson for this part - so luxurious.
Use hair pins to keep short hair twisted up and finish off the look with just a couple sprays of Ken Paves Healthy Hair Strong Hold Shaping Spray – don't overdo it unless you want helmet head!

How-To: Christina Applegate's Makeup at the Golden Globe Awards

BellaSugar — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 15:05:27 -0800

2008 was a tough year for Christina Applegate, who underwent a double mastectomy after being diagnosed with breast cancer. Thankfully, she's now cancer-free, and she's earning kudos for her performance on Samantha Who?. If you loved her red-carpet look, created by makeup artist Joanna Schlip, follow these steps to recreate it at home.

Skin: Before applying any makeup, Schlip applied The Moisturizing Lotion from La Mer on Christina's face to give her smooth, hydrated skin. Then, she used DiorSkin Pure Light foundation in Cameo, covering imperfections with Dior Skinflash Radiance Booster Pen. After applying a self-tanner bronzer, she used Physicians Formula 100% Natural Origin 2-in-1 Bronzer and Blush in Bronzer/Ginger on the apples of Christina's cheeks. She set the makeup with La Mer The Mist. Christina's collarbone and shoulders glowed after an application of MAC Strobe Cream.

For the rest of the steps, read more.

Eyes: On eyes, Schlip used Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips in Vegas Strip, a collection of shimmery light bronze shades. Use the lightest shade near the brow bone, and use the darker bronze in the crease of the eyelid. Line the upper lash line with a black felt-tip eyeliner, then apply a few coats of mascara. If necessary, define your brows with powder or pencil; Christina wore Dior Powder Brow Pencil in Blonde./LI>
Lips: First, line lips with a red liner. Use a lip brush to fill lips with a red lipstick; Christina wore Rouge Dior Replenishing Lipcolor in Red Premiere. Follow with a bit of shimmery red gloss such as Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss in 757.

2009 Golden Globe Awards: Christina Applegate

BellaSugar — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 17:09:00 -0800

Before Christina Applegate steps on to the red carpet, she slicks on the red lipstick - or at least, that's her recent M.O. At the Emmy Awards, she went with a similar look that most of you loved. For the Golden Globes, she's switched things up a bit, letting her long bangs fall into her face. While Christina doesn't go too crazy at awards shows, that's not necessarily a bad thing. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" seems to be her mantra. Do you agree?

Samantha Who? Tonight, it's all about Christina, that's who. She may play an amnesiac on her hit show, but tonight is a night I'm sure she soon won't forget. The cool, blue and purple tones of her dress and accessories are further accentuated by her deep red lips. Va voom on the hair - she keeps it smooth and classy. I'm so glad she's cancer-free and taking a few steps into the spotlight. What do you think of Christina's glamorous cool-toned style?

How-To: Christina Applegate's SAG Awards Hairstyle

BellaSugar — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 11:00:35 -0800

For the 2008 Screen Actors Guild Awards, Samantha Who nominee Christina Applegate arrived on the red carpet looking very old Hollywood. Celebrity hair stylist Adir Abergel created her gorgeous sparkly side-swept chignon using all Fekkai products. Her makeup was pale and flawless with lined black eyes and red lips. Plus, her gown was so pretty that she made FabSugar's best-dressed list!

For more information about the products and techniques that Adir used to create this unkempt updo, read more.

Step 1: Since creating texture is key to this kind of look, begin by applying Fekkai Coiff Shape and Set Mist all over the hair from roots to ends. Next, blow-dry hair and finger comb through.
Step 2: Then, take a one-inch barrel curling iron, and curl two-inch sections of your hair, choosing random pieces all over your head. You do not have to curl every hair, only about two-thirds (since you are trying to create an uneven texture).
Step 3: Rub a dime-size amount of Fekkai Coiff Nonchalant in your palms and gently rub it all over your hair. This will create a soft hold.
Step 4: Use your fingers to hand rake your hair into a low side ponytail. Secure with a hair elastic at the nape of your neck, leaving the ponytail loose and slightly messy. Lastly, twist your ponytail to create a messy chignon and secure with bobby pins. Then, mist your entire head with Fekkai Sheer Hold hair spray.
