Christina Applegate can thank technology for a bit of glam fun with friends

The Married... with Children actress admitted to using Facetune ahead of an event for the beloved sitcom

“We needed a night of laughs,” she said of the evening out

Christina Applegate is loving her makeup look, thanks to her glam squad and a little Facetune.

The Dead to Me actress, 54, reflected on the previous night, when she got to reunite with her Married... with Children cast for a special event at The Wiltern in Los Angeles, in a post on Instagram on Thursday, Jan. 29.

“I asked @owengould to make look like a mermaid on something,” the actress wrote of her makeup artist. “He delivered.”

“@mollyrstern did my face and @marysolpatton did the Facetune and provided some hair length hahaha,” Applegate added, shouting out the Real Housewives of Miami star, who is the co-owner of a clip-in hair extensions company. “And my bestie @iamlindsayflores got me dressed for a special MWC reunion. It was beyond fun.”

Her Instagram post included a photo of her standing in front of a draped curtain, wearing gray pants and a multi-colored coordinating blouse, paired with a pin-striped trench coat.

Applegate’s blonde hair was styled in beachy waves, parted down the middle as they cascaded past her shoulders.

For makeup, she went for a smoked-out eye and nude lip.

“Thank you @davidfaustino for making it happen. We needed a night of laughs,” she added of her costar.

For "An Evening with The Bundys" on Wednesday, Jan. 28, the actress, who played Kelly Bundy on the sitcom, was joined by Ed O’Neill (who played her father, Al Bundy) and Katey Sagal (who played her mother, Peggy Bundy).

Her longtime friend David Faustino starred as her brother, Bud Bundy, on the series, which ran for 11 seasons from 1987 until 1997.

Ahead of their reunion, Faustino, 51, spoke with Extra about how he and Applegate still keep in touch amid her multiple sclerosis (MS) diagnosis.

"We talk often. She’s helped me with a lot of things in my life, and I'm hoping I'm being there for her,” he told the outlet in an interview published on Jan. 27.

"She's getting through it with humor," he added. "She's very sarcastic, very dry, always has been and continues to be, and she still makes me laugh."

After being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2021, Applegate later opened up about life since then during a May 5, 2025 appearance on Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend.

“If people saw what my life was like on the daily, they wouldn't they wouldn't be able to do it. Because I can sometimes not do it. It's really, really hard,” she said at the time.

“I don't really leave the house anymore,” Applegate told O’Brien, 62.

“It will be filled with the ups and downs, the humor and grief of life," she added. "So here I am. Real me. Lots to say."
