Sandra Bullock @ 2010 SAG Awards

Sandra Bullock @ 2010 SAG Awards

Sandra looks BEAUTIFUL! This is such a flattering look on her, and she looks flawless.

Hair How-to

First, Abergel applied FEKKAI COIFF™ CONTRÔLE IRONLESS STRAIGHTENING BALM to keep the hair frizz-free.  Then, he dried the hair with a FEKKAI LARGE ROUND BRUSH to create a smooth foundation.  Next, to add shine he applied FEKKAI ADVANCED™ BRILLIANT GLOSSING™ CREAM and separated the hair into a ponytail using an elastic band.  He then twisted the hair into the shape of an S down to the nape of the neck to achieve the texture of the messy bun. Finally, he secured the look by adding FEKKAI COIFF™ SHEER HOLD HAIRSPRAY.

Sandra Bullock @ 2010 Golden Globes

Golden Globe Awards: Sandra Bullock

Loving her makeup, but that dress is sooo not doing it for me.

Beauty Inspiration

“When I walked into Sandra’s room, I saw that she was in an incredibly relaxed, happy and free spirited mood.  I wanted her makeup to reflect her serene state of mind!” — Angela Levin, Makeup Artist

Beauty Breakdown

“I prepped Sandra’s skin with CHANEL Hydramax + Active Cream. Her eyes were a mixture of CHANEL shadows – Silky Eyeshadow Duo in Orient-Express, and Soft Touch Eyeshadow in Trace.  I then lined the eyes with CHANEL Long Lasting Eyeliner in Violine, a deep, soft purple shade.  On her cheeks, I used CHANEL Tweed Blush Duo in Tweed Rose.  Finally, on her lips she wore CHANEL Rouge Coco Lip Colour in Beige Felin.  — Angela Levin, Makeup Artist

Hair How-to

For Frederic Fekkai, Adir Abergel’s inspiration for Sandra was a modernized 1930′s look with deep waves and interesting lines.

Adir Abergel started by parting the hair on an angle. He then blow-dried the hair adding FEKKAI COIFF™ Perfecteur Anti-Frizz Silkening Crème to create a smooth, frizz-free texture. Then with a 1” curling iron he curled the hair away from the face. Next, he created a foundation for the do by backcombing the bottom layers of the hair and tucking the hair under with pins. After, he applied a pinch of FEKKAI COIFF™ NONCHALANT PIECING & FORMING WAX to separate the pieces of hair as well as adding shine. Abergel then tucked the hair under creating an asymmetrical bob- with a modern twist. To finish the look, Abergel pinned the first part of the hair tightly, let a few pieces hang and pinned the rest back very loosely. Finally, he secured the look by adding FEKKAI COIFF™ Sheer Hold Hairspray.
