Calling all True Blood fans! Arlene, played by Carrie Preston, and her fiery locks make a red hot beauty statement on HBO’s award-winning show. With season four of True Blood in full swing, how is Preston getting beauty ready for the new season? At Style Bar in Beverly Hills!

Carrie-Preston-New-Look
Since red hair can be prone to fading, Number 4 High Performance Hair Care products were used to protect her color and give her a glamorous look. Her style was created by Style Bar's Angela Elizalde.
1. Start with leave-in conditioning spray Number 4 Super Comb Prep & Protect to comb out and prep the hair.
2. Apply Number 4 Blow Dry Lotion to damp hair before blow drying and setting the hair to create soft waves.
3. Rake Number 4 Texture Styling Crème through the hair to break up the curls and add natural hold.
4. Spray Number 4 Mighty Hairspray all over for a finish with staying power.
“The look I was going for was a soft romantic look,” says Elizalde. “She didn't want to look ‘too done’ but loved the idea of curls. She was a very down to earth person with a southern charm. She was easygoing and let me do what I thought fit her best.”
Preston’s makeup was created by Style Bar’s Bong with Mac Cosmetics
Eyes: Mac’s “All that Glitters” shadow was applied as a highlighter; “Satin Taupe” in the crease; “Carbon” for the smoky look; and “Vex” up to the brow bone.
Lips: Lined with “Sublime Culture” with “Kinda Sexy” lipstick and “Love Nectar” for the gloss.
Cheeks: “Dainty” blush was applied to the apples of the cheeks and used with “Soft and Gentle” for a little shimmer.
For her nails, Preston usually goes au natural, but chose Essie’s “Coral Reef,” a hot pink with orange undertones, for her toes.
