[STYLE] GET THE LOOK - 'THE VOICE' FINALE PERFORMANCE SHOW LOOK

Last night I was so proud and honored to perform The Prayer with Chris Mann. Below is how we got our look. Chris, good luck - I am so lucky to have you on my team! XoXtina


Stylist Simone Harouche:
For tonight's episode of The Voice, we wanted to go really glam. What better way to do that, than with gold and glitter!!! For Christina's chair look, she wore a black alexander wang dress with a gold sequin Jay Ahr jacket, and crystal daffodil Louboutins. She wore yellow gold jewelry by Loree Rodkin. For Christina's performance look, she wore a copper Kaufman franco gown.

Hope you guys liked tonight's look...

Makeup artist Jake Bailey:
Christina and I wanted to do something special and I've been waiting for a chance to use these jewel strips I've been carrying around in my kit for the past year. I started by blending an aubergine make up for ever aquacream shadow all over her lid and into the crease. I then highlighted her lids using a metallic gold powder....also by Make Up For Ever. After applying false lashes and a thick coat of CoverGirl 24 hour mascara it was time for the jewel strips. I used a thin liquid liner brush to paint the lash glue just above the base of the lash and used tweezers to delicately place the jewel strip along the eye holding it in place just long enough for the glue to dry. I lined her lips with Cici #47 coral liner and glossed them up with Dior Addict Ultra Gloss # 227.

Hair stylist Mark Townsend:
For tonight's episode of The Voice I wanted Christina's hair to have a slightly retro inspiration. I started by applying a few drops of Dove Nourishing Oil Care Anti-Frizz Serum to her damp hair and blow dried with a round brush. When the hair was dry I set it in barrel curls using a 2 inch curling iron and let the hair cool while Christina had her make up done. Next I removed the clips holding the barrel curls and brushed through. I finished by spraying Dove Style+Care all over to keep the hair shiny and in place.

[STYLE] GET THE LOOK - 'THE VOICE' SEMI-FINAL LIVE SHOW LOOK

Tonight we got to have a lot of fun with my look. Fashion meets rock n roll meets royalty. Sometimes a girl just wants to play and a tiara is perfect for that. XoXtina



Stylist Simone Harouche:
For tonight's look, we went a little more edgy fashion forward, while still maintaining a sense of playfulness. Christina wanted a break from the pretty sleek dresses she's been wearing lately. So we decided to go a little more edgy. Her peplum jacket is by Alexander McQueen. She wore shorts by American Apparel, fishnets by Danskin and boots by Christian Louboutin. Christina wore a custom made knuckle duster by Stephen Webster and a pinky ring by Loree Rodkin.

What really pulled tonight's look was the stunning hair by Mark Townsend and makeup by Jake Bailey. Mark Townsend created big sexy hair which complemented her Butler and Wilson crystal skull tiara. I am obsessed with Christina's look tonight!! It's good to change things up once in a while and keep everyone on their toes!

Hair stylist Mark Townsend:
For the live show of The Voice tonight I was beyond inspired by the amazing tiara that super-stylist Simone Harouche found for Christina to wear. I wanted her hair to be full, sexy, and a bit rock n roll. I started he hair by applying a large dollop of Dove Nourishing Curls Mousse to her hair and blow drying with my hands until it was completely dry. Then I took a 1/2 inch curling iron and wrapped 1 inch sections of her hair around the iron (this can be a little time consuming but the amazing curl and texture you get are totally worth it!)

After all the hair was curled, I pulled the curls apart with my fingers to loosen the curls and create volume and texture and then I sprayed loads and loads of Sally Hershberger Salon Texture Blast Spray all over, I even asked Christina to flip her head over so I could spray all her hair while scrunching with my hands, this spray keeps the hair full and gives the hair super texture!

Makeup artist Jake Bailey:
Christina and I were both in the mood for red lips tonight and we found a killer combo to create this lip. I started by lining her entire lip with Inglot's Full METAL Lipliner #856. I then painted the entire lips with Make Up For Ever AquaCream shade #8 and coated them with Dior Addict Ultra Gloss in "Little Red Dress" for tons of shine.

To create the eye look I blended Shiseido Shimmering Cream Eye Color in "purple dawn" all over the lid, applied two strips of Ardell "Wispies" and coated them with CoverGirl 24 hour LashBlast mascara. The cheeks were my favorite combo of Benefit "Coralista" blush on the apples and NARS "Casino" bronzer under the cheekbones.

Manicurist Farah Songharian:
Christina's nails complimented the sparkle of her tiara. I used Dashing Diva DesignFX in "look, don't touch" and she loved it.

Christina's finishing touch:
Tonight was a no brainer when it came to my finishing touch of fragrance. Fans, when wearing a tiara there's only one fragrance worthy of a queen and that is my very own Royal Desire, available at Sears.

[STYLE] GET THE LOOK - VOICE QUARTER FINAL ELIMINATION SHOW

Tonight was a good example of how bold color can still be soft and sexy. Hope you enjoyed the look! - XoXtina



Hair stylist Mark Townsend:
Christina's hair tonight is all about those sexy, swinging layers and loads of shine. I started by applying a few drops of Dove Nourishing Oil Anit-Frizz Serum to her damp hair before blow drying, the natural almond and coconut oils in the serum moisturize the hair and argan oil seals the cuticle, locking moisture in. I blow dried the hair with a large round brush to give her hair movement and then used a 2 inch curling iron on 5 inch sections of hair. To separate the curls and give her hair cool texture I sprayed Sally Hershberger Shagg Spray in my hands and then raked my hands through all the hair. I finished by spraying Dove Extra Hold Hairspray all over to keep the hair in place without weighing it down or getting sticky. I have been having so much fun creating different hairstyles for the live shows and I love that Christina is so adventurous, she is such an inspiration and amazing to collaborate with!

Makeup artist Jake Bailey:
The first thing Christina said when I saw her today was that she wanted a glossy burgundy lip! I love a dark lip and had just the shade. I first lined and filled in her lips with Urban Decay 24/7 Lip liner in "envious". I then coated her lips with Le Métier De Beaute lip cream in "framboise creme" I created the eye look using aubergine an gold shades from my YSL "pure chromatics" pallettes adding intensity to the lashline using CoverGirl's black liquiline blast liner.

To top off my look and to compliment british designer Alexander McQueen I used my fragrance Royal Desire as a finishing touch on the look. Blackcurrant and yuzu scents makes anyone feel like modern royalty. You can purchase Royal Desire at Sears.
