Sexy, Bedhead Braids at Rachel Zoe

Jaime Richards — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 22:28:39 PDT

For her Spring 2012 presentation, Rachel Zoe, along with Frédéric Fekkai stylist Didier Malige, chose to feature sexy, next-day bedroom hair, taking inspiration from Brigitte Bardot. Think: a morning-after texture that has just the right amount of sultriness. To try the look yourself, start by spritzing on Fekkai Coiff Bouffant Lifting and Texturizing Spray Gel to the roots of next-day hair. Use your fingers while blow-drying to bring out any natural wave you may have. When done, refine some of the wave by using two different-sized curling irons in random sections throughout the hair.

For a down look, braid a few loose braids just underneath the surface of the top layer, stopping about two inches before the ends. For a pulled-back version, loosely braid a ponytail beginning at the nape, allowing most of the ponytail to hang free. Leave a few tendrils out, and finish off with a few spritzes of the brand's Sheer Hold hair spray. Then, all you'll have to do is fight 'em off with a stick.

Check Out This Cool Olfactory Calendar

Miriam Lacey — Tue, 11 Jan 2011 03:00:00 PST

Here's an elegant idea: a calendar composed of scents. Luxe Paris perfume brand Quintessence has just introduced Le Calendrier Olfactif 2011 ($727), which comes with a wall calendar and a specially designed fragranced candle for each month of the year. Each candle is supposed to reflect the month it stands for, and each was concocted by a different artist, ranging from designers like Azzedine Alaïa to hair master Frédéric Fekkai. It's an absolutely gorgeous concept, though laughably out of my price range. But as a belated holiday gift or a housewarming present, coming up with an olfactory calendar of your own could be a fun and thoughtful gift. If you were making one of these, what would you have different months smell like?

Thanksgiving Beauty With All the Fixins

Jaime Richards — Thu, 25 Nov 2010 06:00:06 PST

Hey pilgrim, there might not be as many Thanksgiving beauty offerings as there are December holiday ones, but that doesn't mean you don't have options. Behold, as there are a cornucopia of ideas on how you can add a bit of panache to your Thanksgiving weekend:

For your hair: Keep your style soft and shiny with Frédéric Fekkai's Apple Cider Clarifying Shampoo ($23). Then, add a dramatic touch with 2adorn's Detachable Brown Feather Hair Clip Fascinator ($35) or Charlotte Russe's Round Feather Headwrap ($6).
For your lips: Maybelline's Shine Sensational Lip Gloss in Cranberry Crave ($6) or Nyx's Lipstick in Pumpkin Pie ($4) each have holiday-worthy names and look great on practically everyone.
For the eyes: How about some coffee with that dessert? A smoky, spicy palette of warm browns will provide you with the perfect accent. Try Revlon's ColorStay Eye Shadow in Coffee Bean ($7).
For the nails: A cranberry-toned shade, such as Butter London's Nail Lacquer in Queen Vic ($14), or a shimmery bronze, such as Deborah Lippmann's Superstar Nail Color ($18), will both garner you lots of attention - in all the right ways, of course.

Frederic Fekkai Says Hi at Proenza Schouler

BellaSugar — Fri, 17 Sep 2010 12:00:26 PDT

Backstage at Proenza Schouler, designers Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough chatted with Frederic Fekkai, whose hair care line was being used on the models. Mr. Fekkai wasn't doing hair, but lead stylist Paul Hanlon led a team in creating an undone, tousled updo. "It's a twisted Hitchcock thing," Hanlon explained. "It's cool and sexy, but the designers wanted a maturity to the look." He applied Fekkai Coiff Oceanique Tousled Wave spray throughout hair before finger-combing it dry with a diffuser. After pulling hair into a French twist, he left a few pieces out for what he calls "a feeling that it's fallen." In one unusual but effective move, he wrapped hair with mesh scarves, then set the texture with Fekkai Coiff Sheer Hold hair spray before removing the scarf.

Makeup had a tomboyish quality. "They're much more ladylike than they usually are, but they still wanted a tough edge," makeup artist Diane Kendal said of the designers' vision. Flawless skin and contoured cheekbones (courtesy of MAC Iridescent Powder in Silver Dusk) provided a contrast to the strong eye. Kendal created tomboyish eyebrows by brushing on shadow a shade darker than each model's natural color. The finishing touch: a little bit of foundation dabbed on the lips.

Get Milla Jovovich's Copper Hair 5 Different Ways

BellaSugar — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 14:20:25 PDT

Earlier today while promoting The Three Musketeers in Berlin, Milla Jovovich debuted a striking new hair color. Not only does the beautiful soft copper, complete with buttery blond highlights, make her skin glow, but it also accentuates her stunning blue-green eyes. Thinking about trying out this light red hue yourself? Check out some suggestions below for getting a similar look, five different ways:

For a true, rich copper: Try Frédéric Fekkai Salon Color in Lucy 6R Copper.
For subtle color plus highlights: Try L'Oréal's two-step Couleur Experte in Ginger Twist ($14), a light golden copper brown.
If natural hair dye is what you seek: Naturtint's Permanent Hair Colorant in 8C Copper Blonde ($17) is ammonia-free and made with vegetable ingredients.
For something with a bold red intensity: L'Oréal's Superior Preference in Intense Red Copper ($9) will provide just the right amount of vibrancy for the more daring.
If you're feeling noncommittal: Try a demipermanent, like Umberto Beverly Hills' U Color Italian Demi Color Kit in 8.43 ($12), a light copper-gold.
