Megan Fox Wows Fans With Old-Hollywood Golden Globes Glamour



Old-Hollywood glamour: Soft cascading waves. Sexy cat-eye. Classic curve-hugging gown.

And Transformers actress Megan Fox stole the red carpet spotlight at last evening's 2011 Golden Globes.

So, maybe her cinematic resume is rather thin at the moment, but Megan Fox still has major Hollywood presence. And let's examine why:

1. The gown. Pale pink seemed to be an elegant trend last evening. And no one does gorgeous as good as Giorgio. Megan slipped into a soft pink Giorgio Armani Privé evening grown with an asymmetrical Swarovski adorned strap. She also wore Lorraine Schwartz jewelry, Brian Atwood shoes, and a Roger Vivier clutch.

2. The makeup. Nothing harsh, just soft and sexy, and also, makeup came from the master himself, Armani. Here are the beauty details---Sexy cat-eye---black Maestro Liquid Eyeliner. Maestro Eye Shadows #12, #18 and #38. And Eyes to Kill Excess Mascara. Meow! Blending Blush Duo #4 on Megan's cheeks. And Rouge d’Armani #506, topped with Lip Shimmer #22 on those lovely lips.

3. The hair. Talk about old-Hollywood glam! Stylist Andy Lecompte was the hair genius behind Megan's gorgeous, face-framing waves. Here's how Andy achieved the Golden Globes look---Applied Phyto professional volume mousse before blow drying. Then he set her hair using a 3/4-inch barrel curling iron, following with pin curls. After removing the pin curls, Andy brushed out her hair using a Sheila Stotts detangling brush and gave the hair a deep side part. Then he took a dab of Oribe gel serum to his fingertips and tucked the hair behind her right ear.

All in all, a very feminine and beautiful Hollywood screen siren look for Megan Fox.

Get Hair In Best Shape With Cult Fave: Redken Thickening Lotion 06 Body Builder


Sad, flat hair got you down?

Want the kind of luscious locks you'll see on the red carpet this evening, for Hollywood's Golden Globes awards show?!

Well, of course, we all want that kind of hair. And sure, it helps if you have a personal stylist at your beckon call. But there is one product every gal needs when it comes to healthy, bouncy, big hair:

A volumizer. Root lifter. Thickening lotion. One of these three will alow you to build your hair into an amazing shape and style.

You hear us write ad nauseum about big, thick hair. And we're always on the hunt for the perfect volumizer. Now, we have found another. The critics have spoken, and a lot of women absolutely love this one by Redken 5th Avenue NYC. It's a cult favorite:

Redken Thickening Lotion 06 Body Builder ($16.99, at Redken Salons). We did find some at Walgreens.com, but it's sold out at the moment. You can find some at Amazon.com for $12.50 a bottle.

In our humble opinion, we have found that every body-building hair product is different. And just because the label brags about giving you Big, Sexy Hair with Hold, it doesn't mean it really works. We have tried very expensive volumizers and thickening lotions, and root sprays, and some of those have fallen very flat. But with Redken, the combo of the ingredients really works:

Builds extra body, texture, volume and shine.
Bodifying proteins help reconstruct and strengthen hair.
Hair looks and feels thicker.
Thicker consistency is easier to apply.
Won't build-up on the hair.
