So the Screen Actors Guild Awards happened on Sunday. (Or the SAGs, as most people like to call ‘em… I also use the very same term for what’s happening to my thighs.)
Moving on though—I think it’s safe to conclude that this was one of the most experimental red carpets in beauty memory. Not so much with makeup, but most definitely with hair.

Problem is, it’s one of the toughest beauty tricks to master. Right up there with curling your hair and applying fake tanner, I’d say. I’ve been giving this look a time out for the past few months, but with holiday party season about to start in T minus two days, I’m ready to bust out some of my pet tricks (collected from all the times I’ve interviewed makeup artists about this, and now implanted in my brain). So, because sharing is caring, here they are… Keep reading »
