She may have secured a multi-million dollar deal to join the US X Factor but Britney Spears’ unkempt hair and bitten nails drew gasps as she arrived at the press launch recently.
With her bleeding cuticles, limp hair and somewhat lacklustre appearance, many were left wondering whether the star was ready for such a high-profile comeback.
So, the pressure was definitely on Britney to up her beauty game when she attended the first auditions in Texas.
And up her game she did! Rocking a coral pink Brian Lichtenberg scuba dress, the pop icon was transformed as she hit the Austin auditions.
Here’s how to recreate her look.
Hair
Britney complemented her hot summer outfit with soft beachy waves. For tousled tresses a la Ms Spears, use a spray such as Toni & Guy Sea Salt Texture Spray and add some shine with a lightweight oil like Moroccanoil Gold Glimmer Shine.
Teeth
No all-American look is complete without a set of pearly whites so make sure yours are positively gleaming. There are plenty of inexpensive at-home whitening treatments around but if you’d prefer a less abrasive method, opt for a toothpaste such as Macleans Whitening Toothpaste.
Lips
Britney used a soft rose colour on her pout and the result was ravishing. For a similar look, try Lancôme Colour Design Lipstick in Vintage Rose.
Skin
For a radiant glow like Britney use a cream blush, such as Dior Cream Powder, before dusting a loose bronzer across your cheekbones.
Nails
If you’re a nail biter like Ms Spears, you might want to consider a good set of falsies if you’ve got a special occasion coming up. Elegant Touch have a wide range of fancy fingertips. © Cover Media
