Lily James’ hair made a romantic statement last night for the 2018 Golden Globes. 

Inspiration: Gregory was inspired by Lily’s statement-making, black Valentino gown to create a soft and graceful updo that compliments the ruffled neckline and low back.

Step-by-step:

  • Starting with damp hair, spray John Frieda Luxurious Volume Full Hydration Leave-In Detangling Mist on the ends to nourish, detangle and prep the hair
  • Then, apply a golf ball-sized amount of John Frieda Luxurious Volume Perfectly Full Mousse to the crown and to the root of the hair to help create lasting body
  • Next, blow dry the hair with a large, round hairbrush to further add fullness. Once the hair is dry, use a flat iron to create a natural looking wave
  • After waving the hair, spray John Frieda Luxurious Volume Volume Refresh Dry Shampoo through the lengths of hair to add a soft texture
  • Then, apply a pearl-sized amount of John Frieda Secret Weapon Touch-Up Crème through the ends of the hair to add shine and definition
  • Leave a few wisps of hair out around the face and tie the rest of the hair low at the nape of the head. Split the ponytail in half and tie a knot fastening the ends loosely so it has a soft, romantic feeling
  • Lastly, use John Frieda Luxurious Volume Forever Full Hairspray to lock in the style
  • As a final touch, add a gold stone hair pin to the knot

Frankie Shaw’s Get The Look by Jo Baker

Frankie Shaw’s Get The Look by Jo Baker using the bareMinerals Made-2-Fit app…
The Inspiration: Radiant and flawless looking skin accented by a smoldering antique gold eye
How to Get the Look:
Skin
To get Frankie’s radiant skin, Jo Baker used a bareMinerals Made-2-Fit Fresh Faced Foundation custom blended just for her skin a few days prior to the Golden Globes. To create the bespoke foundation exclusively for Frankie, Jo used the bareMinerals Made-2-Fit App to scan her skin in five different. A lightweight, buildable and oil-free formula, bareMinerals Made-2-Fit Fresh Faced Foundation Customized by MATCHCo is infused with Green Tea and Vitamin E, both powerful antioxidants, to combat signs of aging. Moisturizing ceramides and White Lily Extract work to plump and smooth fine lines, resulting in luminous skin.
Jo wanted an additional radiance boost on the cheeks and brows so she swept the bareMinerals Invisible bronze in Fair to Light to add a soft focus glow under the camera flashes. She then doubled up on blush by mixing bareMinerals Invisible Glow in Medium with Ready Blush and The Confession which is a super universal every day perfect cheek color.
Eyes
Using her fingers Jo applied an antique gold tone shadow to create a smokey effect that didn’t appear heavy or too dark. To add a little depth and intensity, Jo applied a dark eyeliner along the inside waterline and smudged it into the lash line to add drama and a moodiness. She finished off Frankie’s eyes with the bareMinerals Lash Domination Volumizing Mascara with Petite Precision Brush. The tiny fine-tuning brush within the formula allowed a feathery and defined lash line which was the perfect complement to the smokey shadow.
Lips
Jo and Frankie wanted a low maintenance and pretty lip to complement the antique gold smokey eye. To prep Frankie’s lips, Jo used bareMinerals Bareskin Complete Coverage Serum Concealer in Medium. Jo placed the concealer around her mouth to mute her natural lip tone and the perfect long wear base to set her nude lip. Jo loves a creamy moisture rich finish in a nude and bareMinerals Gen Nude Radiant Lipstick in Tutu gave Frankie’s lips the perfect rich satin finish.
The bareMinerals MADE-2-FIT app is free to download iTunes and select androids; each bespoke bareMinerals Made-2-Fit Fresh Faced Foundation Customized by MATCHCo retails for $49 for a 30ml bottle. For more information, please visit www.bareminerals.com or your nearest bareMinerals store.

BEST HAIR TIPS FOR GIRLS WITH NATURAL CURLS International Stylist and Curl Master Creator of The Doux Gets Real About Real Hair

The Doux

People with wavy or curly hair are always looking for new products, tips and tricks to lock in their desired look. Whether they want to blow it straight, create looser curls or maximize their tighter coils, Maya Smith, Celebrity Hair Stylist, salon owner and creator of The Doux, the “Indie” haircare line with cult following now available at Target, is truly the master. Here she shares her best tips for girls with curls who want to revel in their natural hair and create a style they love.

Understand the battle between oil and moisture.

The first thing people must understand is that there are opposite things going on at the same time. “Due to the shape of curly haired strands, the hair tends to be under moisturized. On the other hand, the curly haired scalp can get very oily. Managing these opposite demands is the struggle of girls who wish to keep their curls. The key here is knowing how best to address both,” explains Maya who led the movement for women to transition from relaxers to natural curls.

Be gentle when washing curly hair.

According to Maya, kinky, thick, coiled textures tend to appear “tough” and strong enough to withstand heavy manipulation. “In my experience, these hair types are actually the most delicate, and should be handled with care, she recommends.”

Step One: Pick your products wisely.

Maya applied over 2 decades of research and development based on working knowledge of hair texture and listening to what people wanted. “I created The Doux™ SUCKA FREE Moisturizing Shampoo and FRESH RINSE Moisturizing Conditioner as the one-two step that delivers both deep cleaning plus exceptional nourishment necessary for styling.” It’s now available in Target stores and the full product line is available online at www.thedoux.com. 

Step Two: Prep for shampoo.

Maya’s professional instructions for curl mastery begins with rinsing hair thoroughly with water for a minimum of 30 seconds. “This helps to eliminate any water-soluble product buildup, such as hair gel or heat protectant. It also helps you save shampoo! Assuming you’re shampooing in the shower, letting the water run over the hair in a downward motion helps prevent further tangling, and allows the hair shaft to swell and the curl pattern to fully rebound.” For those with extremely thick hair, Maya suggests separating hair into 4 sections prior to wetting the hair for increased manageability.

Once the shampoo is applied, Maya recommends light manipulation at the scalp, going from the crown of the head to the nape of the neck. “Squishing” the hair up toward the scalp is a no-no. “Shampooing this way can cause unforgivable tangling and matting. I recommend repeating the shampooing process at least once.”

Step Three: Condition and comb through like a pro. 

If your scalp was properly shampooed, conditioning is easy. “This time, you’re focusing on your thirsty ends first, working upward toward the scalp. Gently detangle with a wide-toothed comb or detangling brush (our favorite is Felicia Leatherwood’s “Brush with the Best” detangling brush) before rinsing, starting at the ends, working up toward to the roots. Remember to rinse with cool water which snaps cuticles shut, locks in moisture, makes your hair shinier and reduces frizz.”

When it comes to “co-washing” or “conditioner washing” Maya equates the popular trend to washing your clothes with fabric softener. “In my experience, co-washing causes build-up on the hair, coating the cuticle and impairing the hair’s natural ability to absorb water. Oils, waxes, and product residue harden on the hair shaft, making it more brittle and less porous over time. When the hair can no longer effectively absorb water, the elasticity of the hair is compromised, leaving the hair “crunchy” and stiff, where it is more likely to break. The result is hair that feels dry and brittle, no matter what product you use to moisturize it,” explains Maya.

One of the things Maya Smith and her team of stylists are known for is their ability to restore hundreds of their clients’ curls, simply by getting them to trade in the co-wash for a gentle, pH-balanced moisturizing shampoo, like The Doux’s SUCKA FREE which properly cleanses hair of product residue. “Once you have the hair thoroughly clean it “drinks” up the necessary amount of moisture, and returns to its natural softness,” Maya clarifies.

Avoid alcohol and kick the crunch to the curb.

Styling products high in alcohol give curls a crunchy feel.  They suck up every last bit of moisture.  Hair spray tends to contain the most alcohol, while gels, mousses and anything that provides hold or lift come in second. “I recommend water-soluble gels that don’t feel sticky on your skin, and aerated mousses or foams that resemble beaten egg whites, to give hair fullness, control, and non-brittle curls,” Maya says.

She adds that she created The Doux so it can be used on hair that is worn curly or straight. “Our clients purchase one set of products, and apply them differently to achieve the style they want. If you’re rocking curly hair today, you’re using The Doux’s Mousse Def and Bonita Afro Balm for softness and definition, and The Light for shine. If you’re wearing a blowout, you’re still using the same products, but applying them less liberally, and using the shine mist as a heat protectant. It’s super simple and easy to follow once you’ve seen the results each of them deliver,” Maya explains. 

Blow-Dry with a diffuser or hooded dryer.

Maya’s first choice for curly styles is to air dry. “If you don’t have the time to air dry then dry with a diffuser or hooded dryer on a low heat setting.  A regular blow dryer nozzle disrupts the curl pattern and focuses hot air on one small section at a time while a diffuser, dries curls evenly for a full, uniform look,” she explains.

Maya recommends always applying a heat-protecting product, then flipping your head upside down using a diffuser at the roots and mid-length making sure to dry the area completely to lock in volume. “It’s important to leave the ends for last, and leave them only semi-dry. Air drying the ends is your best option.”

Care for the curls you were born with!
