I went to a screening of  ”Silver Linings Playbook” last night and LOVED it. The movie exceeded my expectations,  Bradley Cooper and Jennifer were perfection together. Jennifer looked so beautiful in the movie and I love her sultry look at the screening it definitely plays up the look of her character in the movie. Don’t miss this when it hits theaters such a great movie!

“Silver Linings Playbook” Screening
Makeup Artist: Jillian Dempsey

Inspired by Lawrence’s sleek dark hair and sophisticated black pantsuit, makeup artist Jillian Dempsey used Laura Mercier products to create a modern, sultry look.

Eyes:
For this look, Jillian concentrated on Jennifer’s eyes, relying on Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour in Steel ($24) to deliver a sensual feel. To achieve, she first applied the shade to the upper and lower lash lines and then blended it out to create the smoky effect. She used Laura Mercier Sateen Eye Colour in Sable ($22) as a highlighter to make the eyes pop and further framed the eyes with Laura Mercier Kohl Eye Pencil in Black Violet ($20). She completed her eye makeup by saturating Jennifer’s lashes with several coats of Laura Mercier Full Blown Volume Lash Building Mascara in Black ($24).

Face:
Jillian prepped the skin with Laura Mercier Foundation Primer ($32) before applying Laura Mercier Oil Free Suprême Foundation ($43) and Laura Mercier Pressed Setting Powder ($32). She applied Laura Mercier Second Skin Cheek Colour in Tender Mauve ($24) to get a flush of color.

Lips:
To finish the look, Jillian lined Jennifer’s lips with Laura Mercier Lip Pencil in Natural Lips ($20). Then she applied Laura Mercier Crème Smooth Lip Colour in Peche ($26), layering it over a hydrating lip balm to ensure Jennifer would have soft lips for the entire night.

Jennifer Lawrence covers the December issue of Elle Magazine. The 22-year-old actress opens up about her weight in the interview, saying by Hollywood standards, she’d be considered “a fat actress”.

She says, “In Hollywood, I’m obsese. I’m considered a fat actress. I’m Val Kilmer in that one picture on the beach.” (Okay, zing!)

She admits, “I eat like a caveman. I’ll be the only actress who doesn’t have anorexia rumors.”

She says she will never be convinced to starve herself for a role. “I’m never going to starve myself for a part. I keep waiting for that one role to come along that scares me enough into dieting, and it just can’t happen. I’m invincible.”

She wants to be a good role model for her fans. “I don’t want little girls to be like, “Oh, I want to look like Katniss, so I’m going to skip dinner.”"

“That’s something that I was really conscious of during training, when you’re trying to get your body to look exactly right. I was trying to get my body to look fit and strong, not thin and underfed.”

Elsewhere during the interview, Lawrence lifts the lid on her relationship with her British actor boyfriend Nicholas Hoult.

She gushed: ‘[My boyfriend] is honestly my best friend, and hopefully I’m his best friend too. He’s my favorite person to be around and makes me laugh harder than anybody.’

Jennifer goes on: ‘We can eat Cheetos and watch beach volleyball and we turn into two perverted Homer Simpsons, like, “Oh, she’s got a nice ass.” I never thought we’d have such different opinions on asses.’

Lawrence also admits to having something of a foot-in-mouth syndrome.

‘I never know what’s going to come out of my mouth, and it’s horrible. I don’t find it positive in any way.

‘When I get older, I’ll be more mature and poised. And I’ll have control over my mouth.

‘One day, I’m going to grow up…When we leave [the interview] I’m going to have a knot in my stomach. I’m going to be like, “Oh, did I say something wrong? I’m going to get in trouble!”‘

Jennifer also appears to reveal how much she is worth – but says she still lives modestly.

‘Ten million dollars and I’m still living in my parents’ condo,’ she tells the fashion magazine.

‘I’ve always lived in a tiny rat-infested apartment in New York, or a little condo in LA, or a normal house in Kentucky. I think it would be very bizarre to live in a big mansion by myself.’

I really love Jennifer. I like her honesty. I think she’s refreshing. She’s great.

Except her hair on the cover. Her hair is quite bad. But that’s cosmetic.

Jennifer Lawrence has landed her first ever Vogue cover, starring on the November issue – out on sale on Saturday October 6. The 22-year-old is the second youngest Best Actress Oscar nominee of all time (the youngest was then-13-year-old Keisha Castle-Hughes in Whalerider), and found global fame after playing warrior heroine Katniss Everdeen in the film version of Suzanne Collins’ book, The Hunger Games.

A star unequivocally on the rise, Lawrence hits our cinema screens again this month with horror film House At The End Of The Street, then again in December with drama-comedy Silver Lining Playbook – alongside Robert de Niro, Julia Stiles and Bradley Cooper. Although she’s built a name for herself as being one of Hollywood’s more low-key starlets, she’s also known for her impressive red carpet prowess – although what she wears isn’t something that bothers her actor boyfriend, Nicholas Hoult. The pair worked together on X-Men: First Class, which was released last year.

“Oh, he really doesn’t care,” she said. “Like he’ll sometimes wear these white tennis shoes with jeans, then tuck his pants into his socks. He has absolutely no idea how good-looking he is. I think a lot of women and men hate me because of that.”

Jennifer Lawrence’s cover on the March issue of Italy’s IO Magazine is from a photo shoot she did for the Canadian Flare magazine in June 2011.  What do you think about magazine reusing cover photos?

The 21-year-old actress  posed for Max Abadian and opened up to IO Magazine about topics such as being discovered at age 14 and where she sees herself a few years from now:

On whether she feels ready for this big change:
“Yes, I’m ready, but also terrified. But then how do you feel ready for something you do not know? I … I’m afraid.”

On being discovered:
“By pure chance. I was 14, I was in New York with my mother, standing on the sidewalk watching a rap-dancer, when a guy with a camera comes up and asks permission to take a picture. ‘Why not?’ my mother says, amused … In New York anything can happen. After a week I got a call at home and was asked to make a commercial. In short, I became a model, but without much enthusiasm. My agent, however, was always there, hammering: ‘Would you rather be a successful model or actress who is starving?’ For goodness sake, I have not had a moment’s hesitation.”

On the runaway success of the ‘Hunger Games’ trilogy:
“We live in a world obsessed with reality shows, we use the personal tragedies to entertain the audience and we want to shock people to succeed.”

On where she sees herself in a few years:
“With a family and many children. Acting is my job, but it is only a small part of my life, certainly not the most important. What really counts for me is to build lasting bonds.”

The Hunger Games are here, and now Jennifer Lawrence, who plays Katniss Everdeen, is on the cusp of being mega-famous. So how does she feel about her imminent superstardom? Really, really nervous (which makes her even more awesome). Read an excerpt from her interview in Glamour’s April 2012 issue, and see her cover-shoot gallery below.

Her first thoughts about The Hunger Games being turned into a movie…

“When I heard they were making the movie, I was like, ‘oh, that’s nice—they’re going to ruin another great book.’ But then I met Gary [Ross, the director], and he was unbelievable and brilliant and genius.”

On taking on the role of Katniss in The Hunger Games…

“I gave myself three days. I knew from reading the books that I loved The Hunger Games. I just didn’t know if it was worth changing my life for. I’m at a peaceful place right now. The people who used to ignore me at parties, now they’re nice to me and kissing my ass. But nobody’s staked outside my house. I wanted to make sure that when I said yes, I wouldn’t regret it. And I don’t regret it. I would have said no because I was scared, and then I would have been that bitter actress telling my grandkids, ‘I’m the one that turned it down.’”

On getting in shape and dieting…

• “I hate saying, ‘I like exercising.’ I want to punch people who say that in the face. But it’s nice being in shape for a movie, because they basically do it all for you. It’s like, ‘Here’s your trainer. This is what you can eat.’”

• “I don’t diet. I do exercise! But I don’t diet. You can’t work when you’re hungry, you know?”

On adjusting to her life as a famous actress…

“Just recently I started letting myself eat things from the minibar. When we were kids, we would never open the minibar. A $6 Snickers bar? But the other day I was in a hotel and I was staring at a Snickers bar, and I finally just ate it. Then it was like something in me snapped. I opened all these drinks. I thought: I can do it now. Now I’m all grown-up. I can eat things from the minibar.”

The Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence is now a redhead! “Her new color is actually a happy accident,” hairstylist Mark Townsend told InStyle.com exclusively. “It’s been colored and re-colored so many times I told her to give it a break and use stripping shampoos.” Lawrence—who went from blond to brunet to, now, red—last had her hair colored by Joico colorist Cherry Petenbrink for her upcoming role as Katniss Everdeen. “Jennifer had such gorgeous natural blond hair when she arrived at my studio, I had to fill it to build color. Our end result was a deep, level five brunet,” Petenbrink told us. “Jennifer was nervous, but she loved it. She told us ‘I can live with this for three movies.’” The colorist also adds that a product like Joico K-Pak Color Therapy Shampoo and Restorative Oil (available at salons) can help preserve rich color the longest.

René Fris reveals insider tips on how to pull off these sought after looks effortlessly! Rene’s online stylist consultation service is a unique way to get celebrity hair stylist tips (just like these) from virtually anywhere – check it out at www.renefris.com.

REESE WITHERSPOON
Presenter Reese Witherspoon’s retro ponytail evoked Sixties mod fashion on the red carpet. To begin, apply a texturizing and lifting spray to hair and blow dry using a large round brush. Make sure to really lift hair at roots, creating epic volume which is essential to the look. Next, use a 1 and a half-inch curling iron to create loose waves and movement. Gather the hair up into a ponytail high up at the back of the head. As you do this, push hair forward to create lift at the crown. Use bobby pins to keep the ponytail in place. Set the whole look off with a coat of maximum hold hairspray.

MILA KUNIS
Black Swan star Mila Kunis looked positively gorgeous in this prom-esque do. Begin by parting the hair deeply to the side. Use a ¾-inch curling iron to create a wavy, tousled texture throughout hair. Allow a top section to drape loosely across half the forehead, gather the rest of hair together at the nape of the neck. Twist hair up and into a loose bun underneath its base, securing with bobby pins. Apply a shine boosting hairspray to finish the look.

GWYNETH PALTROW
Best Song performer Gwyneth Paltrow’s sleek hair complemented her shimmery form-fitting gown perfectly. The star’s modern style looked sensational on the Red Carpet, but is also versatile enough to rock virtually anywhere. For this look, apply a shine serum throughout wet locks and blow dry straight with a concentrated nozzle attachment on the blow dryer. Part hair down the middle and style hair in sections with a 1-inch flattening iron. Finish the look with a shine boosting hairspray for a polished look.

JENNIFER LAWRENCE
20-year-old best actress nominee, Jennifer Lawrence, looked hip and sexy with long layered waves. This look is simple but the results are head-turning. Begin by running a thickening lotion through damp hair. Blow dry using a paddle brush. Use a 2-inch curling iron to create sultry loose waves. Feel free to use hands to create more body and movement. Finish the look off with a medium-hold hair spray.
