Red!

Whether we're talking about the flurry of red carpets significant of the season, the symbolic color of love (and Valentine's Day) or the hot trend of the glamourous red lip, one thing is for sure - red is the color that's meant to catch our eyes.

Many women don't feel comfortable wearing the red lip, or fear they're "doing it wrong". Jouer's Christina Zilber offers these easy solutions for achieving the perfect red lip, no matter the occasion.

Red Carpet Red
For a true dramatic red carpet look, Zilber created the Simone Hydrating Lipstick ($22) – a rich true red that should be worn for that glamorous holiday party or big night out. This hydrating lipstick is highly pigmented and creamy in texture. Definitely a statement maker!

Everyday Red
Love the trend but looking for a more subtle approach that fits your everyday lifestyle, Zilber recommended a gloss because it is more sheer; try the Riviera Moisturizing Lip Gloss ($20) – a true red with a light shimmer. Loaded with Vitamins A, C & E, Shea Butter, Jojoba Oil and Pomegranate Seed Oil to moisturize, soothe, nourish, rejuvenate and protect, the gloss keeps lips smooth, hydrated and lush with its sheer, shimmery true red flush.

Volume, elegance, softness - all attributes of the evening's look in beauty and hair. Stars bloomed in rosy lips, more sheer and glossy than the bolder lips of the Golden Globes. There was a marked fluidness about the ladies, from their soft, feminine hair to their long, flowy goddess gowns.

Experts share their tips and how-to's so we may create the looks.


From Pureology PureArtists, Mary Katherine Hecht, Wendy Belanger, Sherilynn Smart and April Webster share tips on these hair trends seen at the show.




Soft, peek-a-boo waves
1. Create a left side part. Take a two inch pie section on the right side and spray the hair with Pureology SuperSmooth Hot Iron Protection Spray.
2. Using a one inch iron curl the hair away from the face. Pin with a single prong pin.
3. Take another two inch pie section below the first section and curl towards the face. Secure with a single prong pin.
4. Continue to use this technique with two inch pie sections alternating the way the curl is facing until you get to the back of the left ear.
5. Take the left side section and curl towards the face and secure with single prong pin.
6. Set with Pureology InCharge, and when the set is cool, release the pins.
7. Use a soft brush to smooth it out, push the waves into shape.
8. Apply Pureology ShineLuxe to your hands and finger rake the hair to detail the waves.
9. Finish off with GlossingMist and InChargePlus Firm Finishing Spray.






Low textured bun
1. Create a left side part.
2. Use Pureology DryShine HairStyler to add texture to the hair, use fingers to rake the hair back into a loose pony-tail placed opposite of the lips.
3. Use a wide tooth comb to comb the hair that has been created in the low pony-tail, this allows the hair to show some of its natural texture.
4. Use a piece of the hair from the pony-tail to wrap around the rubber band.
5. Separate the hair into two sections. Take the top section and twist and fold the hair to the right of the pony-tail, then secure with bobby pins.
6. Take the bottom section and twist the hair and fold it to the left, and then secure with bobby pins.
7. Spray with InCharge Flexible Styling Spray and spread the hair apart to loosen the buns.
8. Finish with Pureology GlossingMist and InChargePlus Firm Finishing Spray.





Hair: Stylist and co-founder of David Babaii for WildAid, David Babaii, shares his tips for getting Angelina Jolie’s red-carpet hair for the awards' show. To capture Angelina's effortlessly elegant style, David blow dried wet tresses to create a shiny, frizz free foundation. Next, he randomly curled her entire chocolate mane to form beautifully tousled waves. To ensure volume at the root area, spray David Babaii for WildAid Volcanic Ash Root Amplifier. Slightly back comb sections of hair and smooth out with a brush to achieve desired height. Create a low bun at the nape of the neck by gathering sections of curls and securing with black bobby pins. Finish with David Babaii for WildAid Mise En Plis Extra Hold Styling Spray for a dazzling red carpet style.

Beauty: Celebrity makeup artist Mary Burton wanted to create a 60’s look and chose to focus on Angelina’s eyes by applying lots of eyeliner and mascara. She used my holy grail of eyeliners Lancôme Artliner in Noir, a liquid liner, just above the lash line. To compliment Angelina’s eye color and to make her eyes really stand out, she applied a bluish grey eyeshadow YSL Ombre Solo Double Effect Eyeshadow in #3 Blue Silk to the eyelid. Finally, she applied several coats of Lancôme Courbe Virtuôse Mascara in Black. Mary added a touch of pink to the apples of the cheeks using Shu Uemura blush in M Pink 31. To create ultra-shiny and luminous lips, Mary used Lancôme Color Fever Gloss in Rose Jolie.




Hair: Kate Winslet’s glamorous low bun and side swept bang as seen on the red carpet was created exclusively by Frederic Fekkai stylist Renato Campora using Fekkai products. Apply FEKKAI MORE ALL DAY DENSITY MOUSSE to wet hair for added volume. On the bottom portion only apply FEKKAI COIFF MAGNIFIQUE to ends for a smooth blowout and to protect hair from the heat of styling tools. Using the FEKKAI EXTRA LARGE ROUND BRUSH blow dry hair and part on the right side. Once completely dry, use a one inch curling iron throughout hair to create tousled movement with dimension. Apply FEKKAI TECHNICIAN GLAZE to ends working it through with fingers for texture that is not too heavy. Tease the top of the head ever so slightly to create a touch of height. Next pull hair back into a low ponytail. Create a loose braid and twist it around to form a bun. Secure with pins. Making a braid helps to keep the bun from appearing to severe and gives it the soft modern touch.


Beauty: Celebrity makeup artist Jillian Dempsey played up Kate’s eyes with lots of black eyeliner, mascara and shimmering shadow paired with a soft neutral palette on her lips and cheeks. Jillian used Lancôme Artliner in Noir on the upper lash line and then lightly dusted Jillian Dempsey Professional for Avon Eyeshadow Trio in Pebble Wash on the eyelid. She finished the eyes with a few coats of Lancôme Ôscillation Mascara in Black. For the lips, she used Serge Lutens nude lip liner and filled in the entire lip. Finally, she applied Color Fever Gloss in Engaging, a very sheer nude shade, for a high-shine pout. To compliment Kate’s vibrant look, fashion manicurist Deborah Lippmann polished her nails with a sheer, misty pink called Prelude To A Kiss.

Kate Winslet won two Golden Globes!


As the 2009 award season commences, the look of the night was simple and tasteful hairstyles. Pureology PureArtists, Mary Katherine Hecht and Sherilynn Smart give us the latest hair trends from last night’s red carpet event and tips how to achieve the look at home.


The top three trends seen on the red carpet…
1. French Twist as seen on Kate Winslet, Eva Mendes and Christina Applegate
2. Classic Upsweep as seen on Evan Rachel Wood, Amanda Seyfried
3. Modern Chignon as seen on Anna Paquin, Eva Longoria, Kate Beckensale



How to achieve…



French Twist:

1) Blow dry hair using a cocktail of Pureology NanoGlaze and PureVolume BlowDryAmplifier.
2) Use a curling iron to set hair using Pureology SprayGel and alternate barrel size and direction for that old Hollywood glamour.
3) Softly twist hair and pin while taming flyaway’s with Pureology NanoWorks ShineLuxe.





Classic Upsweep

1) Blow dry hair using a cocktail of Pureology NanoGlaze and PowerDressing.
2) Set hair away from the face in hot rollers with Pureology SuperStraight HotIronProtectionSpray.
3) Remove the rollers when cool.
4) Finger rake the hair with Pureology NanoWorks ShineLuxe working it all the way through to the ends.
5) Without combing or brushing the hair, pull the hair back using your hands only into a loose ponytail opposite of the nose.
6) Take the ponytail and separate into 3-5 sections depending on the thickness of the hair.
7) Smooth each section with a soft brush to shine the hair, and place in a large pincurl. Use a bobbypin to secure it around the ponytail.
8) Continue to pin each section around the ponytail until all the sections are pinned up.
9) Finish up with Pureology GlossingMist for shine and InChargePlus for hold.






Modern Chignon

1) Apply Pureology StylingLotion from root to end. Blow dry.
2) Section the head from the highpoint of the head to the ears separating the front of the head from the back.
3) Using Pureology InCharge for added texture lightly backbrush the crown area.
4) Cocktail Pureology DryShine and ShineMax and work through the front section from hairline to the ends. Use this cocktail on the ends of the back section to lend pliability to the hair.
5) Using a soft brush smooth the hair into a low ponytail in the center of the nape opposite of the lips.
6) Fold the hair under and pin at the hairline.
7) Finish with Pureology InChargePlus for amazing hold.

What a night! Did you watch the 66th Annual Golden Globes Awards? If so, you saw a much simpler elegance than we've seen in years at the award's show last night. I have so much to talk about and I'm scrambling to find you the best photos to get the best looks at gowns, beauty, jewelry and more.

Standout winning look of the evening for me - Drew Barrymore!



Drew rocked this look with her retro-Marilyn Monroe, blonde bombshell personna. Dressed in an off-the-shoulder, soft grey-blue John Galliano for Dior gown accesorized with a ravishing red satin Roger Vivier clutch, she is simply scrumptious. I love that muted pink lippie (anyone know which it is?) and those knockout, dangling earrings too!


Other knockout beauties



Amy Adams in Oscar de la Renta, Eva Mendes in Dior, January Jones in Versace, Kate Winslet in Yves Saint Laurent, Olivia Wilde in Reem Acra and Taraji P. Henson in J. Mendel. None of these photos really do these dresses justice - they are gorgeous!


Another hit of the evening - statement jewelry. Oh my goodness, the pieces these ladies had on are absolutely stunning. The starlets played it right, though, opting generally for one jaw-dropping piece and understated jewels elsewhere. Here are some highlights.



Leafy green earmings on Amy Adams; I LOVE those custom made earrings on Jennifer Morrison, the center jewel brings out the electricity in her dress; and this fabulous choker on Beyonce' is beyond words - all by Lorraine Schwartz




These garnet earrings worn by Kate Beckinsale are by Fred Leighton and are drop dead gorgeous!



This turquoise choker worn by Eva Mendes is a stunner compliments of Van Cleef & Arpels.

Christina Applegate, Olivia Wilde, Jennie Garth



Did you watch the 2009 People's Choice Awards last night?

If you did, you saw fresh-faced, dewy cheeked, coral lipped beauty and sexy, tousled hair with a return, mostly, to simple, elegant glamour. Among my personal favorites of the evening:


Christina Applegate - she looked absolutely stunning; I loved that dark ruby lip and pearlescent skin with her neat, simple bob - she was breath-taking.



Olivia Wilde - she blew me away, as she always does at these shows. She really works her femininity, so elegant, reminiscent of a grecian goddess. And she pulled off the perfect slick-backed long pony-tail, the trend of the evening.

Jennie Garth - another fresh, dewy look of old-hollywood glamour; red lips, bright face, soft voluminous wavy hair.



L-R: Carrie Underwood, Christina Applegate, Debra Messing, Jennie Garth, Jessica Stroup, Jordin Sparks, Kate Hudsoon, Queen Latifah (she rocked as hostess, by the way - love her!), Reese Witherspoon



For the life of me I don't understand why people still entertain this ... uggggh. Really? Enough already.
