Classic, red carpet glamour is what Nicole does best. Makeup is always in harmony with her striking locks, whether she's a blonde, brunette or red head and her hair is always her focal point, whether in tumbling locks or super-sleek styles. Here we unravel the secrets to Nicole's glamorous beauty look...
Prepping is the key to getting a sexy style with naturally curly hair like Nicole's so using a range like Elvive Smooth-Intense from L'Oréal Paris, which includes shampoo, conditioner and anti-frizz serum, will ensure smooth, satin locks from start to finish. Blow dry straight and if you have quite thick hair, use a large barrel brush to get good root lift with maximum slickness and shine.
To get some of Nicole's curl action, reach for the tongs and give hair a free-flowing feel by tonging hair loosely around the barrels. Using Garnier Fructis Curls & Shine Definition and Bounce Cream, £2.49 to make sure curls stand out and defined; this can also be used to bring a bounce to naturally curly hair before styling.[quote]
Nothing is more striking than the richness of Nicole's hair colour. Gliding seamlessly from blonde through to red, Nicole pulls off any shade along this spectrum without a glitch. For a deep, fiery colour, L'Oréal Paris Féria, £7.49, is the ideal choice, as there are eight permanent shades of red, ranging from copper through to plum, all with a high gloss and light reflecting colour pigment, perfect for that A-list wow-factor. For Nicole a la blonde, Garnier Nutrisse Cream, £6.49 has a nourishing, cover-all grey formula that now has double the avocado content so tresses will be extra cared for.
Get the look wouldn't be complete without the essential make-up staples for Kidman looks. Her fair-skinned beauty signals sunscreen as a must, so look after pearly-white skin by using a good protective cream L'Oreal's new Derma Genisis SPF15 Day Cream, £18.99, which holds a barrier up to UV and environmental damage as well as boosting radiance and life in skin
With beautiful skin as Nicole's, keep base sheer with a light-reflecting foundation and dot a soft concealer, like new Maybelline New York Dream Mousse Concealer, £5.99, around the eyelids, under the eyes, around the base of the nose and to cover any blemishes. Warm the face with brown or peachy based products, blending in light, circular motions for a golden cheek glow. Outline eyes with a rich brown liner, such as L'Oréal Paris Superliner.
Finally for a glossy Nicole smile, use a natural colour with a moisturising sheen like Maybelline New York Moisture Extreme, £4.99 and use a lip brush for application. Nicole is also a fan of the power-pout, in which case opt for a rich, vibrant colour such as the Color Riche Star Secrets range L'Oréal Paris, £7.99 to complete the Hollywood look.
