(InStyle) -- The name's Bond. Jinx Bond. At least it should be.

"She's the female Bond," Halle Berry has said about her character, the single-name Jinx, in the latest 007 installment, "Die Another Day." "She's called Jinx because she was born on Friday the 13th, but I don't think she has much bad luck," says hairstylist Sterfon Demings. "She's stunning, and she really kicks butt."

The character is a knife-thrower -- not your typical Bond bombshell. That's why the Oscar-winning Revlon spokeswoman vetoed bombshell hair. "Halle didn't want long, flowy hair. Her hair is short and easy to deal with. Too much would have engulfed her," says Demings. "Plus short hair is confident, and confident is sexy." Looks like Jinx is definitely tressed to kill.

Hair

Leaving alone the short layers on the bottom, Demings used a curling iron near the roots of longer top layers for some lift. In keeping with Jinx's tough-girl personality, he added spikes by applying a pea-size dollop of Bumble and Bumble styling wax onto one-inch sections and twisting them upward. For softness he left the bangs smooth and flat.

Eyes

Burton swept a pink hue from the Revlon Wet/Dry shadow quad in Jinx onto lids, then used the dark purple in creases and along lower lash lines. She applied Revlon eyeliner in Raisin Rage on upper lash lines and softened it with a brush. Last, she applied Revlon mascara in Bond Berry.

Face

For many scenes, makeup artist Mary Burton wanted a bright and feminine look, so she used pinks and purples. She sponged on Revlon Colorstay makeup in Caramel. Then she brushed Revlon Swirl blush in Jinx onto cheek apples and temples for glow (the limited edition 007 collection is available at drugstores this month).

Lips

Burton applied Revlon Colorstay Nudes lip liner, then Revlon Super Lustrous lipstick in Mission Mauve and Lip Gloss & Glitz in White Out: Says Burton, "The silver flecks make lips sexier."
