I did a double-take when I first saw Christina Ricci's red-carpet look from the recent Spike TV Scream Awards. At first, I thought her hair was pulled back into an updo, giving the effect of short hair. But upon further inspection, it appears that she has, in fact, gone for the chop. While she's always been on the shorter end of the hair spectrum, not many people can pull off a full-on crop. Christina, however, has the amazing bone structure to pull it off and she oozes class and simple chic. But it also helps to follow the golden beauty rule of donning a shorter 'do: you need to amp up the makeup to bring forth the feminine vibe. Christina gets it just right with smoldering eyes that contrast a lighter-hued, soft champagne-y eyeshadow on the lids next to the slightly tougher, sexy edge of fully-rimmed black-lined eyes. And is that lipliner I spy her wearing? If you'll notice, there looks to be a deeper, rosier hue on the outside of her lips and a frostier, lighter pink in the centre. This could be just a visual trick for the red-carpet, since, from far away, the color blends together as one. But as The Beauty Counter blog pointed out the other day about one Halle Berry, obvious lipliner á la En Vogue is on the way back.
What say you of Christina's new look?
