Last night the first live shows for The Voice began. For me as an artist it is always so much fun to experiment with my ever changing looks. I love to collaborate with my glam team. We all wanted to share with you how we got the look from last night’s show and we promise to keep you all updated on how to get these looks so you too can experiment with your own glam.

Hair dresser Mark Townsend on Christina’s hair:
For the premiere of the live shows of The Voice I was so inspired by Christina's amazing Alexander McQueen dress so I wanted her hair to have the same sexy vibe with a rock and roll edge. I started by applying a large dollop of Dove Nourishing Curls Mousse into her damp hair and blow dried with a large round brush. Next, I took 3 to 4 inch sections of hair and sprayed each section with a heat Protectant spray before wrapping the hair in a 1 inch curling iron. When all her hair was curled I sprayed Sally Hershberger Body Fix Spray all over to give her hair lots of volume and texture. I finished by spraying Dove Style+Care Extra Hold Hairspray for hold that will last but not look stiff or too done.

Makeup artist Jake Bailey on Christina’s makeup:
Xtina's look tonight was classic Xtina. Dramatic eyes and red lips. I achieved the eye look using a combination of Ysl's black cream liner and their new pure chromatics pallette. I used the cream liner all over the lid and smudged it to create an intense smokey eye. Than using a damp eye shadow brush I applied and aubergine shade from the pure chromatics pallette over the black cream to add color and shine. I finished the eye with tons of Diorshow mascara. I used Nar's "Casino" bronzer in the hollows of her cheeks to accentuate her cheekbones and dusted "coralista" blush from Benefit on the apples of her cheeks to add a bright coral glow to her complexion. I finished the look with a classic red lipstick and liner from Inglot. The lipstick is shade number 408 and the liner is #856.
