gabrielle-union.jpgGabrielle Union's full, glossy hairstyle is easy to acheive and, to the excitement of our wallets, also affordable-- thanks to products by Tresemme. We always find it so refreshing knowing that our favorite stars use the same products we ourselves love.

We got the scoop from Tresemme stylist Tyler Laswell on how he created this full-bodied look for the star:

tresemme_heat_tamer.jpg

 

To begin, prep hair with TRESemme Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Spray ($4.75, drugstore.com) all over.

 

 

 

Next, separate hair into four sections; sides, back of head and top of head. Then, wrap 1" sections around a curling iron, holding the ends. Alternate between a 1" curling iron and a 1 1/2" iron. This adds more demention and volume to the hair.

Once entire head curled, use a blow dryer and just your fingertips to stretch and soften the curls into waves. Finish the look with one of our favorite glossing products, TRESemmé No-Frizz Shine Spray ($4.75, drugstore.com) to create a natural sheen.

Blake Lively looked nothing short of amazing-- does this woman ever look bad??-- when she attended Chanel's "Fête d'Hiver" Benefit last week.

Makeup artist Angela Levin took inspiration for Blake Lively's makeup look from the actress's Chanel diamond camelia brooch.

"I wanted her eyes to be dark and sexy, but the rest of her face to be light and fresh. She's young and sexy and wears a smoky eye so well!", says Levin.

 

To acheive that "light and fresh" look, Levin used Chanel Lift Lumiere Fluid Makeup in Beige ($65, chanel.com) all over her face, and set it with Poudre Cristalline Translucent Powder ($60, macys.com). On her cheeks she dusted on Chanel Blush Duo in Tweed Rose.

 

For her eyes, bronze and sand shade eyeshadows were used as well as a deep plum shade that added dimension in the crease.

Blake's eyes were lined on the upper and lower lashes with a black shimmer liner and three coats of mascara.

To finish the look, a soft pink lip was created with Chanel Rouge Allure in Mythic ($30, chanel.com), a fabulous nude shade, topped with a bit of Rouge Allure Laque in Ming ($32, nordstrom.com).

polishingnails.jpg Bubbles are fun, but not when they pop up on nails. This typically occurs with polish when base coat is skipped or polish is applied without allowing a adequate dry time between coats. Ji Baek, owner of Rescue Beauty Salons in NYC and the Rescue Beauty line of nail polishes shares her recommendation for correcting this all too common foible:

 "Dip the pad of your finger into nail polish remover and smooth over the bubbled area. That evens out the polish and redistributes the color."

Apply a new topcoat and enjoy your bubble-free nails.
