2010 Oscar Awards red carpet hairstyles
Enzo Angileri was inspired by the classic shape of Charlize Theron’s dress to create a style that was delicate and enduring. “To create this look I needed a very smooth texture and lots of natural-looking shine,” said Angileri.
1. Use new argan oil-infused Moroccanoil Light, made especially for fine and light colored hair, on wet strands before blow drying to ensure the hair itself looked perfected. “After that about 50% of my work was done and I had a texture that was workable, healthy-looking and naturally beautiful.”
2. To create the low, classic bun, roll hair around clockwise. Hold in place with several bobby pins.
3. Spray with a light misting of Moroccanoil Glimmer Shine Spray to give hair an extra touch of red carpet glamour for the cameras.
4. Set the look with Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray for a firm, flexible hold.
Lona Vigi gave Cameron Diaz a style that was reminiscent of the Old Hollywood glamor of Veronica Lake but with a modern twist.
1. Spray volumizer on hair.
2. Blow dry hair with Velecta Paramount Paris TGR 4000i with the ionics turned off. This setting helps build volume. Take small sections of hair and using a medium round bristle brush, blowdry the
hair back and up using high velocity and heat.
3. Set the hair by turning on both the ionics switch and cool button to lock in curls and add shine.
4. Free the barrel curls and hold each one in place with a pin.
5. Wait a few minutes and then brush out the hair to create a loose, soft wave pattern.
6. Bring one side behind the ear and the other forward toward the face.
7. Finish with a light misting of hairspray.

2010 Golden Globes red carpet hairstyles
By Sara Moore
It may have rained at Sunday’s 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards, but leading ladies including Penelope Cruz and Nicole Kidman had a perfect hair day thanks to their stylists, who give us the 411 on how they achieved their red carpet looks.
Penelope Cruz may have lost out to Mo’Nique for her performance in the musical film Nine, but her elegant waves were award-winning. Celebrity stylist Oribe was inspired by Cruz’s vintage Armani dress and her fresh tan when he created the look. Here are Oribe’s step-by-step instructions to achieve the style using products from his own haircare line.
1. Work Gel Serum through the hair.
2. Spray Impermable Anti-Humidity Spray on hair before using hot tools to help protect the style and prevent frizz.
3. Use hot rollers or a curling iron to set hair.
4. Brush loose curls into place.
5. Accentuate the wave in the front and make sure it is pronounced.
6. Clip the hair in place and spray it with Superfine Hair Spray.
7. Use a bobby pin to pin hair back on one side.
Cruz’s Nine co-star, Nicole Kidman, turned to David Babaii, who created a natural and effortless look for the red carpet.

Party perfect holiday makeup
By Julie Wiegan
Not sure how to do your party makeup during the holidays? Well, you have options! And you can look like a star without spending much. Try these trends from Rimmel London Global Makeup Artist Liz Pugh to get the perfect look. She offers her easy tips on how to go from day to night with scene stealing lips and party-perfect nails. “The simplest way to transform from day to night is by adding a high-impact lip. Red is very on trend this season, and always looks gorgeous.”
1. Skip the dark stain in favor of a bold, precise pop of red applied with a lip brush. I’m a big fan of 1000 Kisses Lip Liner because it really stays put—perfect for parties.
2. Start by applying the liner in Red Dynamite, a fantastic shade of red that suits everyone. Apply it all over the lip as a base.
3. Then coat with clear gloss or Lasting Finish Intense Wear Lipstick in Red Hot.
4. Keep everything else minimal to make a strong red lip shine—try a sweep of Eyeful Eye Glistener in Straight Laced or Girls Only over the eyelid, finished off with the defining power of Eye Magnifier Exact Definition Mascara applied only to the top lashes.
5. For nails, try a modern version of the classic French manicure by painting the standard white tip a different shade for night.
6. Go for 60 Seconds Nail Polish in Shocker or Stop Traffic for day, then turn it into a bold nighttime look by coloring the tip with Delicious Dark. The 60 Seconds polishes are perfect to play with because they dry so fast—60 seconds and you’re ready to go.”
“When choosing a color for your eyes you want to choose a shade that contrasts your eye color to make your eyes really stand out,” Pugh says. “Don’t choose a matching shade. Warm colored eyes, browns and hazels look great with cool shades, such as blues, greens and violets. Whereas cool eyes, blue or green, work well with warmer shadows, such as peaches, caramels, oranges and coppers.”
