CHRISTINAHENDRICKS FEW MODERN SCREEN SIRENS OOZE OLD SCHOOL GLAMOUR QUITE LIKE CHRISTINA HENDRICKS. SHE KNOWS THAT NOTHING SETS OFF RED HAIR AS WELL AS IVORY SKIN, OR ADDS VA-VA-VOOM TO AN OUTFIT LIKE A SLICK OF SCARLET LIPSTICK. BY FOLLOWING THE GOLDEN RULE OF EMPHASISING LIPS OR EYES – NEVER BOTH – SHE LOOKS CLASSICAL WITHOUT LOOKING OUTDATED. EYES: If, like Christina you’re going to let your lips do the talking, you need to go steady with your eye make-up. False eyelashes – other than sparingly applied at the outside corners of the eye – will be too heavy for this look. What’s needed here is a good mascara, that will thicken and elongate lashes without clumping, to give a youthful and wide eyed gaze. NYX Doll Eye Mascara, £9. Next. LIPS:These are the star of the show when it comes to Christina’s make up – and it’s a great look to copy. There is a red shade to suit all skin tones – but the general rule is that blue toned shades work best for cool blondes, while orange shades look best against warmer, olive skin tones. Clarins Rouge Eclat 20 Red Fuchsia, £19.50. House of Fraser, Debenhams, Boots. FACE: To ensure Christina doesn’t look oldfashioned, her team offset the matte red lips with a glowing porcelain complexion. Because the skin around the eyes is very fine, a special eye base will minimise creasing, and draw light to the eye area and hold eye shadow pigment more effectively. Clarins Instant Light Eye Perfecting Base, £22. House of Fraser, Debenhams, Boots. SKIN: Serums are big news in the world of skin care with just about every cosmetics house offering them. The idea is that they prepare and feed the skin, providing the perfect base for foundation by reducing the appearance of fine lines and giving the skin a healthy glow. REN Rose O¹² Moisture Defence Serum, £42. M&S. HAIR: One of the fastest ways to add shine to hair – and give you glossy locks like Christina’s - is by using oil treatments. However, if you thought they were for emergency use only, think again. Ideally, you should enrich your hair with every wash and this new range of products from Lee Stafford will enable you to do that. Lee Stafford range, from £9.99. Boots. intu.co.uk/metrocentre intu 49
