StyleList visited the set of NBC’s new hit Deception and chatted with its stars to get their secrets for looking good.

“I could put her in tin foil and she would still look good” – Amy Roth, Costume Designer, Deception, on how easy it is to make Meagan Good look, well, good.

StyleList spent the day on set with the cast and crew of Deception, the new hit show on NBC (and yes, we can say “hit”; the pilot was #1 in it’s time slot on Monday, January 7th). They caught up with the show’s stars, including Meagan Good, Ella Rea Peck, Katherine Lanasa, and Wes Brown to find out their style mottos, product must haves, and personal secrets to looking good.

PERSONAL STYLE

ELLA RAE PECK (Mia Bowers)
“I love to be comfortable more than anything. My favorite thing to wear is a big baggie sweaters and jeans… I love boots… knee-high riding boots. I just kind of wear what’s in my closet. I have things in my closet from when I was 12 that still fit me.”

WES BROWN (Julian Bowers)
“I’m a jeans and t-shirt guy. This show has been the first time I have worn this many suits. My confession is: I like it!”
“I finally caved in and bought an expensive pair of jeans. They are 7 Jeans. I’m a Levis man – and I’m not abandoning them.”
“At home, I have about 15 pairs of cowboy boots. I very rarely wear tennis shoes.”

KATHERINE LANASA (Sofia Bowers)
“Eclectic, sexy, earthy, and body conscious. But I definitely like things that are very playful, like a bright logo tee with a Roberto Cavalli leopard skirt and bright blue heels.”
“I look best in a pencil skirt, it’s always been my go to thing. As well as a v-neck and a button up blouse: these create the best lines on me. I wear a lot of jackets, and suits, and in the ’80s and ’90s, and I save a lot of my suits and jackets, because you can’t beat a great blazer. It can go with a great t-shirt, or anything. I love to pair with jewelry as well. And I like one of a kind jewelry.”

BEAUTY SECRETS

MEAGAN GOOD (Joanna Locasto)
Always keeps EOS lip balm in her makeup bag.

KATHERINE LANASA
“I am a mascara girl. My face looks harsh easily with too many lines. If I have to do eye liner, I have to do a whole look. I use brown eyeliner too. It’s just a bit softer.”

ELLA RAE PECK
“I wash my face once a day with glycerin soap, a really mild glycerin soap, to get all the makeup off at night, and then I have a light moisturizer that I use. In the morning, I just rinse, I don’t like to wash too much.”

STYLE MOMENTS TO RE DO

ELLA RAE PECK
“I guess there are moments where you don’t know that you are going to have your photograph taken, and you wish you had worn matching socks [for example]. Or, tucked your shirt in. “

WES BROWN
“I saw Johnny Depp rocking the long hair, and I thought, you know what, I am going to try that. Works for him, not me. I looked pretty ridiculous for about a year, with dumb facial hair. It was more or less, long hair was cool, I tried it, and it looked like I had a really bad wig on.”

TRENDS THEY’VE SEEN ENOUGH OF

ELLA RAE PECK
“I don’t know what the whole deal is with mustaches everywhere. Those really annoy me. It was cute at first, but now not.”

WES BROWN
“I don’t understand, leggings. The thing I find most unattractive is when a woman looks like she has tried way too hard. The dress is too tight, the makeup is way overdone. Less is more. Less is sexy”

SECRETS TO LOOKING GOOD & STAYING HOT

MEAGAN GOOD
“I do try to get lots of rest when I can, and I use Eucerin.”

ELLA RAE PECK
“I drink a lot of water, and I think sweating is really important. Heading to the gym, working out, or taking a sauna or something. Keeping skin moisturized is very important.”

KATHERINE LANASA
I actually like NARS lipstick in Jungle Red, and I use that as my blush as well. And an eyelash curler is a must. Even if you have nothing else and just curl those, you will look good.

WES BROWN
“Less is more, keep it simple, keep it classic.”

STYLE REVELATIONS

MEAGAN GOOD
“Anything vintage is the hardest to shop for!”

ELLA RAE PECK
“You have to have a good pair of jeans, and if that means spending a lot of money on them, they will last forever.”

WES BROWN
“I had a closet full of very low quality clothes and a lot of them. And I didn’t really understand, why would you pay $200 for a pair of jeans? And I was told, ‘You don’t have to have a giant closet full of cheap clothes. Have a small closet, full of nice quality clothes, and get rid of all the crap.’ I haven’t totally given up on my closet though – I love my Levis and my t-shirts.”

WARDROBE ADMIRATION

ELLA RAE PECK
“I just got this amazing vintage coach bag, and I’m not even really a bag person, but this bag is incredible. It fits so much stuff in it. I never leave without that thing.”

WES BROWN
“I really like the timeless looks of Kerry Grant, George Clooney, Hugh Jackman, Patrick Dempsey. A more manly style, rather than trying to be too fancy.”

KATHERINE LANASA
“Cameron Diaz has that fun bright style that I like myself. “

“Deception” airs Monday nights at 10pm on NBC.

At the 70th annual Golden Globes, glamorous nails were the ultimate accessory. Three of the night’s biggest stars –Naomi Watts, Jennifer Lawrence and singer Adele — manicurists turned to Sally Hansen to create their signature nail looks for the red carpet.

Naomi Watts
Celebrity nail expert Tracey Sutter created the look for Watts, nominated for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture–Drama. Tracey used Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Arm Candy to create a natural effect.
To get the look, Sutter filed down Naomi’s nails very short before applying Sally Hansen’s Cuticle Instant Remover. Next, Sutter applied 2 coats of Sally Hansen’s new Complete Salon Manicure Nail Color in Arm Candy – giving Watts just the right amount of color she wanted.

Jennifer Lawrence
April Foreman was the expert behind Lawrence’s nail look, using Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Sheer Ecstasy for the Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture–Comedy or Musical nominee.
To get the look, Foreman shaped Lawrence’s nails “sqound” giving both a square and round look. Keeping her hands hydrated, Foreman applied Sally Hansen Smooth and Perfect Hand Crème before applying 2 coats of Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Sheer Ecstasy.

Adele
Celebrity Manicurist, Kimmie Kyees used on Adele a sheer coat of Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in So Much Fawn with two coats of Complete Salon Manicure in Copper Penny layered on top. Kyees finished off the look with an exclusive topcoat created for tonight that had gold in it to help enhance the color in Copper Penny for the best Original Song, Film nominee.

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure is an all-in-one formula that combines all the 7 benefits of a professional salon manicure—a base coat, a strengthener, a growth treatment, rich color, top coat, gel-like shine and chip resistance —in a single multi-tasking polish ($7.99).

Claire Danes looked gorgeous last night! It’s shocking she had a baby just a few weeks ago she looked amazing.

Claire Danes 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards January 13, 2013

Makeup:

Claire Danes’ gorgeous and glamorous Laura Mercier makeup look from this evening’s Golden Globe Awards. Matin Maulawizada, Global Artistry Director for Laura Mercier, created a “sexy, fun look” for “Homeland” star, Claire Danes, who is nominated for a Golden Globe Award in the “Best Performance by An Actress in a Television Series – Drama” category.

Eyes: Maulawizada determined that a sultry, smoky eye would perfectly complement the star’s glamorous, red Versace dress. “I decided to go with a smoky eye and not a red lip since the dress was so red,” stated Maulawizada.

• Maulawizada accomplished this by applying Laura Mercier Caviar Eye Liner in Black ($22) on Danes’ top lids and under her eyes “to create depth and shape.”
• Next he applied Laura Mercier Tightline Cake Eye Liner in Black Ebony ($22) with Laura Mercier Flat Eye Liner Brush ($25) to “deepen the lash line.” He then rimmed the inside of the eyes using Laura Mercier Kohl Eye Pencil in Black Gold ($20) to “intensify the depth and to create a contrast with Claire’s blue eyes.”
• Maulawizada added the final touch of glamour by applying multiple coats of Laura Mercier Faux Lash Mascara ($24) to Claire’s upper lashes.

Lips: Maulawizada used neutral colours to “contour the lips” and make them appear “pouty, à la an early ‘90s supermodel pout.”

• He first defined the lips using Laura Mercier Lip Pencil in Hazelnut ($20).
•  Then he contoured and shaded in the lips with Laura Mercier Lip Pencil in Praline ($20).
• Lastly he applied Laura Mercier Crème Smooth Lip Colour in Angelic ($26) to make the colour a “bit more beige and quiet.”

Face: Maulawizada determined that “glowy, warm skin” would be the perfect canvas for Danes’ sultry makeup look.

• First, he applied Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer Crème Compact SPF 20 in Almond ($45) to warm up Claire’s skin tone.
• Next he sparingly used Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage #3 ($30) to “cover up little imperfections and darkness under the eyes, which she really doesn’t have.”
• On her cheeks, Maulawizada applied Laura Mercier Crème Cheek Colour in Blaze ($24) followed by Laura Mercier Bonne Mine Palette ($48) to “highlight, bronze and make her even more glowy.”
• Lastly he used a combination of Laura Mercier Loose Setting Powder in Translucent ($35) and Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder ($22) to set Claire’s makeup and concealer.
• To ensure Danes glowed from head to toe, Maulawizada applied Laura Mercier Mineral Illuminating Powder in Candlelight ($32) over Laura Mercier Repair Eye Serum ($80) on Claire’s shoulders and arms.

Hair:

Celebrity hairstylist Peter Butler created Claire Danes’ look for tonight’s Golden Globes in Los Angeles. Taking inspiration from the Homeland actress’ red-hot Versace gown, Butler gave Claire sexy, loose waves, likening her to a modern-day Jessica Rabbit.

Step 1 – Prep
Blowdry hair with a large, round, boar bristle brush. Take a curling iron with a 1 1/2 inch barrel and start curling hair section by section. Set the curls with Frizz-Ease Moisture Barrier Firm-Hold Hairspray ($5.99 at drugstores).

Step 2 – Style
To create the perfect wave, use a paddle brush to brush through curls. Apply Frizz-Ease Secret Weapon Flawless Finishing Crème ($5.99 at drugstores) throughout the hair–it will soften hair and add shine while leaving the curls chunky and intact.

Step 3 – Perfect
Finish by adding a fine mist of Frizz-Ease Moisture Barrier Firm Hold Hairspray to lock in the style.

One’s an English rose and the other’s a Californian bombshell but Emily Blunt and Jessica Alba had at least one thing in common at the 70th Golden Globe Awards last night—they both wore makeup by Hourglass. As the final touch to their looks, each actress sported Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder, a cutting-edge finishing powder launching this spring.

EMILY BLUNT
In a gilded dress by Michael Kors, Emily Blunt more than lived up to her reputation as a Hollywood golden girl. The actress, nominated in the Best actress, Musical or Comedy category for Salmon Fishing In The Yemen, “definitely had something in mind as far as the look,” says makeup artist Jenn Streicher. “Emily wanted smoky eyes paired with soft pink lips that echoed her Lorraine Schwartz ruby earrings.”

Skin: Jenn began by using Kate Somerville Quench Hydrating Face Serum, La Mer The Moisturizing Soft Cream and La Mer Eye Concentrate. She then primed the skin with Hourglass No. 28 Primer Serum, and followed with Hourglass Illusion Tinted Moisturizer in Ivory. She used two shades of Hourglass Hidden Corrective Concealer: Fair, a light shade, was used around the nose and as a highlighter, and Sand, a slightly darker shade, was applied under the eyes. Jenn completed the skin by applying the new Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Radiant Light all over the complexion. Available in six different lighting settings, Ambient delivers a multi-dimensional luminescence to the complexion by capturing, diffusing and softening surrounding light. “It softens and enhances everything,” says Jenn.

Cheeks: Jenn applied Hourglass Superficial Waterproof Bronzer all over the face and neck to create a radiant glow. She then used the bronzer shade from Hourglass Illume Crème-to-Powder Bronzer Duo in Sunset to contour the cheeks and jaw line. The blush shade from Illume was applied onto the cheekbones.

Eyes: She started by lining eyes with Hourglass Film Noir Kohl Eye Pencil in Espresso and softened the line with a brush. Jenn then applied the shell shimmer shade from Hourglass Visionaire Eye Shadow Duo in Gypsy as a highlight on the brow bone and followed with a matte brown eye shadow on the lid. Hourglass Film Noir Full Spectrum Mascara was applied to the lashes to volumize, lengthen and separate them. She then amplified the brows with Hourglass Arch Sculpting Brow Pencil in Soft Brunette.

Lips: Lips were infused with a beautiful wash of color courtesy of Hourglass Femme Rouge Velvet Crème Lipstick in Edition, a soft pink shimmer.

JESSICA ALBA
On Sunday’s red carpet Jessica Alba looked stunning in tangerine. The glamorous mother of two, a presenter at the awards ceremony, wore a gorgeous peach-colored gown by Oscar de la Renta. “The dress was the inspiration,” says makeup artist Lauren Andersen. “I loved the contrast between her glowing skin and the matte orange lip. It’s an almost tropical pop of color that’s not an exact match for the dress but close.”

Skin: Lauren prepped the skin with Hourglass No. 28 Primer Serum, and followed with Hourglass Illusion Tinted Moisturizer in Sand. She then used Hourglass Hidden Corrective Concealer in Warm under the eyes, down the bridge of the nose and fanned the product out in the center of the forehead to create dimension. She finished the skin step with the new Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Radiant Light applied all over to create a golden, subtle warmth. “It’s a soft, refined shimmer that’s glowy,” says Lauren.

Cheeks: She used the bronze shade from Hourglass Illume Crème-to-Powder Bronzer Duo in Sunset to contour the cheeks and followed with the blush shade on the apples of the cheeks.

Eyes: Hourglass Film Noir Kohl Eye Pencil in Espresso was first applied to the outer corners of the eyes and then smudged it with a brush. Lauren then applied Hourglass Superficial Waterproof Bronzer in the crease of the eyes and the gold shade from Hourglass Visionaire Eye Shadow Duo in Dune on the lids. Lashes were treated to several coats of Hourglass Film Noir Full Spectrum Mascara. She finished up by amplifying the brows with Hourglass Arch Sculpting Brow Pencil in Soft Brunette.

Lips: Finally, Hourglass Opaque Rouge Liquid Lipstick in Riviera, a vibrant tangerine shade, was applied to the lips. The velvety matte color delivers richly pigmented and long-lasting coverage for up to 14 hours.

FLAWLESS FACE:
