***If you liked Drew Barrymoore’s make-up at the SAG Award, you’ll be happy do know that she was wearing Covergirl make-up! Drew’s look turned heads and most celebrity TV shows are calling her look flawless!***

The Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards were held this past Saturday, January 23, 2010 and COVERGIRL spokesperson Drew Barrymore won the award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Movie or Miniseries for her work in Grey Gardens.

For her beauty look, Drew wanted to do something 60s inspired by Brigitte Bardot. For the makeup, Debra Ferullo, celebrity makeup artist, didn’t want to match the blue color in her dress, but rather accentuate Drew’s natural features with warm undertones.

On her face, she prepped the skin with a moisturizer and then used COVERGIRL Clean Liquid Makeup for normal skin followed by a highlighter and COVERGIRL Simply Ageless Sculpting Blush in Plush Peach on the cheeks.

For Drew’s 60’s inspired colorful, Debra applied COVERGIRL Smoky ShadowBlast in Bronze Fire, using the darker shade on the lid and the taupe shade in the eye crease as well as underneath the eye. She then applied a dot of the silver shade in COVERGIRL Smoky ShadowBlast in Silver Sky to the inner corner of Drew’s eye to make it pop, followed by a thin line of white eyeliner on the inner bottom eye.

She finished the eye with a heavy coat of DiorShow Blackout Mascara to the top and bottom lashes for definition.

On Drew’s lips, Debra applied DiorAddict lipcolor in Beige Negligee #223, followed by DiorAddict Ultra Gloss in Jersey Pink #157 for a washed peach lip with a shiny finish.

The best part about Drew’s look is the fact that Covergilr make-up is so incredibly affordable!

Oh, before I forget, the Covergirl Smoky ShadowBlast will THE biggest make-up launch this year … mark my words. This is the eaisest ever smoky eye you’ll ever be able to create!!!

Do you remember how I described my reaction when I saw how stunningly beautiful Angelina Jolie was at the 2009 Oscar ceremony?

Just in case you missed it … here it is again:

“When Brad and Angie got out of their limo while I was tweetering, I held my breath because they looked so good together!”

May I say for the record that Angelina’s jewellery on Oscar night was so dazzling, so beautiful, so incredible that I thought I was going to cry … I wanted them so badly … but alas, my bling budget is not same as hers.

When I found out that I’d be able to get some behind the scene hair style secrets for both Angelina Jolie and Nicole Kidman, I knew my readers were in for a major treat!

David Babaii was the magician behind Angelina’s and Nicole’s perfectly coiffed hair:

David Babaii (who, along with Kate Hudson, has his own line of environmentally-friendly and cruelty-free products called David Babaii for WildAid) worked with both Angelina Jolie and Nicole Kidman at the 2009 Academy Awards on Sunday to achieve their jaw-dropping-red-carpet-looks.

I should make it clear that these tips come DIRECTLY from celebrity stylist David Babaii! Ladies, this kind of information is priceless!!!

Before we get started here’s an important insider’s tip: To achieve any Oscar Look it’s all about 4 main signature stages: drying, sectioning, curling and styling.

>>>> Here is the step-by-step to achieving Angelina Jolie’s look:

angelina_jolie_brad_pitt_2009_oscars

2) Next, I dried her hair by dividing her tresses into 3 sections: top, sides and back leaving the nape area free.

3) Taking small sections starting at the nape, use the David Babaii for WildAid Blow Dryer with the nozzle attachment and finish the drying process with a large round brush to smooth hair straight.

4) At the crown area, I sprayed David Babaii for WildAid Volcanic Ash Root Amplifier to the root area and down the hair shaft. Then, I dried this section with a jumbo round brush to add lift and volume.

5) Once dry, I sectioned the hair again using the same sectioning process as I did for blow drying. Using the David Babaii for WildAid Styling Iron, I once again sectioned the hair into 3 sections: top, sides and back leaving the nape area free.

6) To curl, use the Styling Iron to create “ribbon curls” by taking small “V” shaped sections.

7) To achieve, wrap the hair around and inside the styling iron close to the scalp area and pull the iron down (similar to curling ribbon).

#8) After curling the entire head, I smoothed some of the curls with a brush while leaving some intact. At the crown area, I back-brushed the hair at the scalp area only, sprayed some additional Volcanic Ash Root Amplifier and gently smoothed the surface not to remove too much of the back-brushing.

9) Next, to create her half-up, half down look, I brushed the sides up and back and secured with pins. To complete the back, I ran my fingers up several curls to create volume and variations in texture.

10) For a long but natural lasting hold, I used David Babaii for WildAid Mise en Plis Light Styling Spray.

David Babaii Styling Tip: Why so much sectioning? It is vital to have constant control of your hair at all times. You will never miss an area or a section.

>>>> Here is the step-by-step to achieving Nicole Kidman’s look:

nicole_kidman_2009_oscar_2

1) After thoroughly towel drying, I applied David Babaii for WildAid Amplifying Whipped Mousse for volume and hold.

2) I dried the hair by dividing it into 3 sections: top, sides and back leaving the nape area free.

3) Creating small sections, start at the nape and use the David Babaii for WildAid Blow Dryer with the nozzle attachment.

4) Dry each section with a medium round brush to smooth and create a soft round bend to the ends. Once again, section the hair into 3 sections: top with a side part, sides and back leaving the nape area free.

5) To create waves, form “V” shaped pieces and use the David Babaii for WildAid Styling Iron.

6) Run the styling iron down the hair shaft from close to the roots to the ends to create a sleek, smooth look.

7) Repeat, now half way down the hair shaft utilize the beveled edge by turning the styling iron (like a curling iron) to create a soft curl.

#8) Clip each curl and spray with David Babaii for WildAid Mise en Plis Light Styling Spray.

9) Alternate the direction of each row of curls in order to achieve a finger wave effect.

10) When finished, gently brush and form into soft waves using my David Babaii for WildAid Mise en Plis Light Styling Spray for a soft long lasting hold.

11) To finish, I brushed back one side and secured with a decorative hair pin.

David Babaii Styling Tip: Use “V” shaped sections helps to eliminate the appearance of partings.

I just LOVE the Oscars. Not only did I watch the entire show without zapping to another TV show once, but I also watched hours of pre-Oscar buzz as well! I liked every part of it and I even spent the entire pre-Oscar-red-carpet walk tweetering about my favourites and those dresses I just couldn’t understand.

I won’t go into details about who looked good and who didn’t because all the fabulous couture is all over the internet, but I will simply tell you what I told my friend Natasha: “When Brad and Angie got out of their limo while I was tweetering, I held my breath because they looked so good together!”

Well, I might not have held my breath when I saw Marion Cotillard’s hair, but I was dazzled and I couldn’t wait to know more about the little insider’s secrets behind such perfect hair!!!

Do you want to know how Marion Cotillard got her perfect Oscar hair?

marion_cotillard_oscar_2009_hairstyle

Top celebrity hair stylist Robert Vetica, who styled Marion Cotillard’s hair for her La Vie En Rose Best Actress Oscar win in 2008, once again created a flawless, dramatic look that worked to perfection with the elegant John Galliano for Christian Dior gown and shoes that she wore. Marion’s beautiful jewellery was courtesy of Chopard Jewellers!!!

Robert Vetica created a shimmering, ultra modern take on the French Twist that was inspired by Cecil Beaton’s portraits of the great fashion and society icons of the 40s and 50s.

Polished and styled close to the head, Marion’s French Twist was rolled large and emphasized volume for a contemporary edge.

Step-by-step guide to Marion’s perfect French Twist:
1) To create the beautifully sculptured French Twist, Vetica first blow-dried Marion Cotillard’s hair with a round brush using Moroccanoil® Hydrating Styling Cream to smooth, detangle strands and to prevent frizz, and created a low side part.  He then teased the hair all over with added attention to the crown and the back of the head.
2) He then brushed the teased hair and shaped it into a full, lavish French Twist, rolled and pinned it in place, then used a rat tail comb to lift the crown and emphasize the volume from the back.

3) Vetica then finished with a light spray of new Moroccanoil® Gold Glimmer Shine to give the look a luminous, natural looking and long-lasting shine.

Ladies, with such an impressive pedigree, I know we can all learn a few celebrity secrets from Robert Vetica!

salma_hayek_hair_secret

To create Salma Hayek’s sexy and slicked-back style, Vetica started with wet hair.

“I worked Moroccanoil^TM Treatment through to detangle and smooth out split ends and then dried the hair straight using Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream to give added shine and smoothness,” he explains.

Salma Hayek wore a Boucheron $250,000 diamond hair wrap which was specially made for her, and the key was to keep the hair looking sleek.

1) Robert Vetica pulled Salma’s hair back into two ponytails, the first one from ear to crown to opposite ear and pulled it back low at the nape of the neck.

2) He pulled the remaining hair into a second ponytail, directly on top of the first, back-combing it to give extra lift and to add texture.

3) Next, he braided each section, turned them under and attached them at the nape of the neck.  The double braid gave the effect of a unique textured thickness that made the look fresh and new.

4) Then, he wrapped the diamond band around this double braid for a simple but chic effect.

Krizia’s banter: On a totally separate note, may I say that Salma Hayek must have to most amazing breast line on the face of the planet earth!

2) Kyra Sedgwick’s Golden Globes Look

kyra_sedgwick

Kyra Sedgwick’s (43, born August 19, 1965) look was reminiscent of Rita Hayworth, but more delicate and loosely curled. He then pulled it back to show off her face with cascading hair when she turned.  He wanted the hair down but still elegant, Hollywood and fresh.

Her red Oscar de la Renta gown with a fitted bodice and deep neckline helped Robert Vetica make the decision to sweep the hair back off the face. The result: a retro-style pin-up ‘do with a more soft and relaxed feel.

* Here’s a photo of Kyra at the Golden Globe Awards

>>>> How YOU can get the look!

1) Kyra’s hair was blow-dried to a smooth finish with a touch of Moroccanoil (my hairdresser did this as well for my hair a few weeks ago and I could NOT believe how soft and shiny my hair was)

2) Treatment, directed away from the face using a strong spray gel to hold her hair up and away from her forehead.

3) The back of the hair was curled inward to create wave and volume. Vetica used a heat styling spray to protect the hair and to help give a firm hold to the swept back look.

4) Robert brushed Kyra’s hair back from the front, to keep it away from her face.

5) The final look framed her face and cascaded into waves when she turned.

6) Robert finished the style by rubbing a small amount of Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream through his hands, smoothing the hair and adding shine to finish and refine the look.

You’ll find all Moroccanoil products here: Moroccanoil Hair Care

You know that I WILL HAVE TO test this Moroccanoil because not only are these hair styles amazing, but a few weeks ago my hairdresser told me that I was insane for not have switched yet to this treatment.

She’s put ALL of her clients on the Moroccanoil diet (Caucasians, mixed beauties and beauties with Afro hair). She says it’s the BEST product she’s used in years!

Ladies, no worries, I shall test and let you know. I most likely will get either Eleni or Daphne to test as well since they have very different hair … it will be good to see if this works for them as well!
