Pamela in Pink

Sex and the City 2 is on it’s glamorous way in May. From the looks of the trailer, it won’t disappoint in the fashion and beauty department. I’ll be making regular posts about the fabulous four’s style and beauty. First we have  the stylish and classic Charlotte played by the beautiful Kristin Davis. Even though Carrie is the fashionitsa, Charlotte is definitely the natural beauty of SATC.

Kristin spoke to Allure last year about her top 3 beauty tips:

1. Embrace your hair texture. “In the summer, I put my hair up in a bun, and hope for some soft waves when I take it down. But I was recently in Kenya and my hair was—whoo—big! At that point, I just let it get frizzy—silicone products make my hair feel dirty, and I think people overuse straightening irons. I was just at an event and literally every person there had ironed and shellacked hair, and honestly, that look doesn’t work for most people. If your hair has texture, let it have it.”

2. Maintain highlights (or don’t get them.) “My biggest beauty embarrassment from the past: The producers of Sex and the City really wanted me to get highlights, so I did. I went to one of the other girl’s hairdressers, but I didn’t know I had to keep going back, and no one told me. Clearly, I was not ready for high-maintenance hair. I now have this picture of me from the Playboy Mansion episode of the show wearing a ponytail, and a few inches back on my head, I have this yellow-orange stripe where my brassy highlights had grown out! I can’t believe they let me look like that!”

3. Protect your skin. “I think younger women haven’t totally grasped the importance of sunscreen and they’ll regret that later. I’m super-sensitive to the sun, so I use a moisturizer containing sunscreen. I just shot a film called Couples Retreat in Bora Bora, so I was always reapplying after lunch. If I forgot, I got blotchy, and the makeup artist had to correct that with makeup.”
