Red Carpet Watch
Megan Fox at the Toronto Film Festival

Megan Fox looked white-hot at the premiere of her new movie “Passion Play” at the 2010 Toronto Film Festival. She wore an elegant white Armani Privé dress and a sultry waved style created by celebrity stylist Creighton Bowman.

How to get the look:
“We decided a soft, and effortlessly natural look was the way to go with her dress which was sexy and short, and I wanted to play up the beauty of her long, luxurious hair,” said Creighton.

“The styling became all about products that would keep the hair looking fresh all evening long. I started by applying Lisa Chiccine Thickening Volume Foam, an alcohol-free styling mousse loaded with botanical extracts and certified organic ingredients, then towel-dried the hair from root to ends. I used it for this look because it’s really lightweight and gives a nice boost of natural-looking lift and volume.

Next, I did a loose, natural-looking blow dry and sprayed a light mist of Lisa Chiccine Hold Weightless Satin Hairspray all over her hair. I used Hold because it’s fast drying, flexible and gives an anti-static hold. It’s great for long hair that needs to move. Finally, I sectioned the hair and made random waves with a medium curling iron. To finish, I used a drop of Lisa Chiccine Shine, a great anti-frizz serum by Lisa Chiccine that doesn’t weight hair down. It also has sun filters to help prevent sun damage.

INSPIRATION/ THEME/ UNIQUE TIP:

The makeup look for the Spring 2011 Vera Wang Collection was inspired by the glamorous and candlelit nuances found in the movie In The Mood For Love. The goal was to create a soft, romantic look that made a breathtaking impact. “The key to this ethereal look is the play on light and reflection and the striking radiance that results from both,” says Lucia. “There is minimal color involved, but the overall metallic effect makes this look both wearable and highly fashionable at the same time.”

FACE

Description:

- Lucia applied Clé de Peau Beauté Refining Fluid Foundation to prep the skin.

- Next, *Concealer was applied to neutralize dark circles, red spots and imperfections.

- To finish, Lucia dusted *Translucent Loose Powder to the entire face for a long lasting finish and high performance wear.

BROWS

Description:

- “Sculpted and defined.”

- To achieve this bold effect, Lucia swept Clé de Peau Beauté Eyebrow Pencil in a shade darker than the natural brow color across the brow area.

- “The structure and contrast of the dark brow is incremental to this look, as it provides balance to the face,” says Lucia. “The brow should extend just a bit past the natural brow line and the lines of the brow should be very straight, not rounded.”

EYES

Description:

- “High wattage metallic.”

- Lucia used a combination of the pink shadows in the *NEW Eye Color Quad #207 (launching March 2011) on the eye area.

- First, a subtle metallic pink was dusted across the eyelids.

- Next, a more shimmery pink was applied to the brow bone and extended down to the cheek bone for added element of radiance.

- “Metallics and sparkles are a big trend for Spring/Summer 2011, but it’s important to keep it tasteful and alluring,” exclaims Lucia.

LIPS

Description:

- Lucia applied *Extra Rich Lipstick in Calliope (T4), a velvety beige shade, to the entire lip with her finger.

- “The lip should be a more of a sheer nude, not completely opaque as the natural tone of the lip should peek slightly through,” says Lucia.

CHEEKS

Description:

- Lucia used Clé de Peau Beauté Cheek Color Duo #5, a sheer neutral bronze, on the cheeks for additional highlight and contour.

- “It’s important to make sure the cheeks are very subtle in color and radiance when combined with a more prominent metallic eye look, says Lucia. “The overall effect is modern elegance with a very romantic twist.”

The Clé de Peau Beauté collection is available at Bergdorf Goodman and select Barney’s, Neiman Marcus and Saks locations nationwide.

On Sunday night, Bryce Dallas Howard stepped out at the Toronto Film Festival for the premiere of Hereafter looking effortlessly gorgeous. Her secret? A natural, flawless look created by star makeup artist Jeanine Lobell. Using Kevyn Aucoin Beauty, Lobell accentuated Bryce’s eyes and completed the look with a natural flush and peachy nude lips. Get Bryce’s red carpet beauty with Lobell’s expert tips:

EYES
Start by using the nude tones in The Essential Eye Shadow Set in Palette #1 to create a subtle sweep of shimmery color. Add contrast by rimming eyes with The Eye Pencil Primatif in Basic Black and coating lashes with The Mascara. Finish the effect by defining brows with The Precision Brow Pencil in Auburn.
FACE
Use fingers to blend The Creamy Glow in Bliss from the apples of cheeks toward the temples, imparting a natural, peachy flush to Bryce’s ivory complexion.
LIPS
Line lips with The Flesh Tone Lip Pencil in Bare, shading inward to give lipstick staying power. Finish by applying the Rouge Hommage in Guilty, a pretty nude to complement Bryce’s deep red hair and accentuated eyes.

Sexing up your look takes more than a red lip stain and tousled hair (but that’s a good place to start). It also takes restraint, grace, and the ineffable ability to make it look like you didn’t fuss for hours over every last detail. In that spirit, we offer you our favorite sexy new looks that actually only take about 30 seconds to create.

Natural Moisturized Lips

Sex kittens the world over swear by this one: Apply a lipstick that matches your natural lip color, then make your mouth superglossy by coating it in clear balm or gloss. (We love Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15.)

Glowing Skin

If you’re wearing anything cut up to here or down to there, you can’t neglect your arms, decolleté, and legs. A good body lube, like Kiehl’s Superbly Restorative Argan Dry Oil, will make the skin look smooth, dewy, and that most tantalizing of adjectives, supple.

Orange-Red Lips

Every woman is a mere two lipstick swipes away from sexpot. The key is getting the shade right—too red spells harlot, too orange is plain ugs. Try mixing shades, like makeup artists did to create the perfect shade at the spring 2010 Prada show: a little bit of Make Up For Ever Lacquered Lipstick in Fluorescent Orange blended with Laura Mercier Crème Lip Colour in Truly Red. (Or M.A.C. Lipstick in Lady Danger will get you there in a single swipe.)

Metallic Lids

It takes a certain kind of woman—specifically, the smoking hot kind—to get away with eyelids dripping in rich gold shadow. Don’t wimp out with safe bronze or pale copper—try pure gold, like Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow/Liner in Busy Signal, smeared on from the lashes to the crease.

Warm Cheeks

Nothing says corn-fed, golly-gee sweetness like naturally blushing cheeks. And since you can absolutely fake that kind of Lolita glow, there’s rosy cream blush. Rub it on the apples of your cheeks and let the hair twirling begin. (Our favorite: Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge for Lips and Cheeks in Pink Truffle.)

Beehive Your Hair with Bosley!

The beehive is back and not the kind that you are swatting around during the hot summer months! Remember that ancient hairstyle you saw in the movie Hairspray, and teased your mom about….well it is back!

A recent article in The New York Times (see below) claims that the beehive look is back but the trick is finding the right mix of prissiness and seductiveness. In Vera Wang’s fall ready-to-wear show, the models displayed a perfect blend of edge and coyness with their messy behives.

To get this look at home use Bosley Professional Volumizing & Thickening Styling Mousse, that infuses instant body and shine while it strengthens and thickens the hair shaft. Then spray it up with the Bosley Volumizing & Thickening Styling Hairspray that provides long-lasting body and shine while holding the style in place!

Perfect skin is something on everyone’s wish list, but thanks to makeup artist Pat McGrath’s tricks (via Allure Magazine) on the fall runways (such as at the Louis Vuitton show, above), a new, insanely flawless complexion is not only the trend for fall—it’s attainable by everyone. Try it with these tips that McGrath shared with Allure (for more, see the September issue, on newsstands now):

Prep. Exfoliate and moisturize before you even look at your foundation—massaging moisturizer into your skin will help get the blood flowing.

Get the right base. During the Fall 2010, makeup artist Pat McGrath used only liquid and cream foundations. We recommend Laura Mercier Creme Smooth Foundation for complete coverage. Before you apply it to your face, put the foundation in your hands to warm it up and swipe over any discolorations—including any redness on your ears.

Conceal. Less is more here. McGrath recommends a matte concealer under the eyes and around the nose, and a creamy one (we like Cover Girl & Olay Simply Ageless Concealer) on drier skin—both applied in little dots on each spot with a pointed brush and then blended with fingers.

Highlight. For ultra-glowing skin, apply highlighter that matches the color of your skin in nine places (yes, nine!) with your fingers and blended softly: cheekbones, bridge of the nose, inner corners of the eyes, Cupid’s bow, and the chin.

Mattify. To ensure skin glows rather than reflects light like a disco ball, gently dab the entire face with a tissue, and dust powder over the t-zone.

Lost’s Emilie de Ravin shows us there’re two sides to every story—and every makeup look.

3-D Cheeks
WHY IT WORKS Layering bronzer and blush has a double benefit. “The bronzer brings out cheekbones and makes the face more three-dimensional,” says makeup artist Benjamin Puckey, who created these looks. “The blush gives a glow.”
HOW-TO After smoothing lightweight foundation onto de Ravin’s skin, Puckey used his fingers to swirl cream bronzer around the sides of her face in a large “3″ shape, starting at the temples, working down to the upper cheekbones, and continuing down to the jawline. Then he layered pink cream blush along the apples of the cheeks, right on top of the bronzer.
