Julianna Marguiles was positively beautiful at last nights SAG awards! Makeup artist Kristopher Buckle, and hairstylist, Matthew Monzon, share their  tips on how to copy Julianna’s  look! I’m a huge fan of L’Oreal Paris products, especially the lip glosses and mascaras.

HAIR/ Step by Step How-To:

Starting with freshly washed hair Matthew used the L’Oréal Paris EverStyle Curl Activating Mousse, distributed from root to end with a large tooth comb placing hair in a finger wave going back and away from the face.

Matthew diffused her hair until it was dry. He then took a “1″ barrel iron and spot waved it to create truly defined curls. Once the desired texture was achieved, Matthew combed his fingers through her curls to loosen up the wave.

To smooth out the look, Matthew used the L’Oréal Paris EverStyle Alcohol-Free Smooth & Shine Crème & Serum throughout her entire head. He finished the look with L’Oréal Paris Elnett Unscented Hairspray to lock Julianna’s hair into place.

Makeup Artist: Kristofer Buckle

Inspiration: For Julianna’s makeup, Kris was inspired by her dove grey, pearlescent Calvin Klein dress. Using a color palette of pastels, he wanted to create a feminine look that matched the radiant glow of her jewelry and gown.

MAKEUP/ Step by Step How-To:

Kris kept Julianna’s skin looking flawless with L’Oréal Paris True Match Super-Blendable Makeup in Soft Ivory and L’Oréal Paris Visible Lift Serum Age Reversing Concealer in Light which worked together to accentuate her olive skin tone.

For a pearlescent glow he applied L’Oréal Paris Magic Smooth Soufflé Blush to the apples of her cheeks in Plume.

The eyes were romantic, highlighted by smoky shades of L’Oréal Paris Infallible Eye Shadow in Sultry Smoke and Iced Latte (accenting the corners of her eyes).

Three coats of L’Oréal Paris Voluminous False Fiber Lashes Mascara in Black was applied to frame the eyes.

Lips were vibrant but simple with a hint of pink using L’Oreal Infallible 8 HR Le Gloss in Pink Topaz.

I love Dianna Agron’s upswept hair here! Read on  to learn how to get the look…

INSPIRATION: celebrity hairstylist  Adir Abergel wanted to create a romantic up-do to mimic the movement of  Dianna’s dress.

How To Get the Look: Adir began by applying Fekkai Brilliant Glossing Cream from the roots to the ends of the wet hair to create texture. He then rough-dried the hair with his hands. After the hair was completely dry, he sprayed Fekkai Oceanique Tousled Waved Spray throughout the hair, and rough dried it through once more. To begin the up-do Adir took a section of the hair from the top of the left ear and created a long fishtail braid.

He then wrapped that braid around the front of the head like a crown, leaving the hair underneath loose and undone. Adir then took the rest of the hair and created three more fishtail braids, ultimately twisting them together in the back of the head and securing them with hairpins. To hold the look Adir sprayed Fekkai Sheer Hold Hairspray .

Bronze, peach, and gold all in one smoky eye look?  Sign me up.  Just look how amazing the combo is on Elizabeth Banks here.

Nice, right?  Take a closer look at the colors and focus on where they are applied.

So here’s what you’re looking at: Her eyes were lined in a soft black liner (a dark brown would work, too), then the outer half of her eyes were surrounded in bronze eyeshadow.

Next, it was time for the shimmery golden-peach shadow dusted and blended up above the creases of her eyes and underneath to soften the bronze a bit.  Then her inner corners were hit with a light, bright gold.

It’s a reel-him-in sort of look, really, which is why it’s so perfect for a date or night of flirting.  If either one is on your schedule this week, we dare you to give it a try.

Buy it/Try it: The SGB Smoky Eyeshadow Stencil Kit.

In a short amount of time, Emma Stone has managed to impress us not only on-screen but on the red carpet as well.

Her peach Calvin Klein dress from last year’s Golden Globes, loved!  And that pink-on-red Giambattista Valli sweater/skirt combo have been etched into our minds for good.  Though she’s known for getting it just right it in the fashion department, it’s also hard not to notice her on-point hair and makeup choices, too.

When we met up with the “The Amazing Spider-Man” star last November, we claimed that Stone single-handedly “pioneered the hot pink lip trend.”  To that, she said she was honored.  Nonetheless, her take on beauty is always a combination of smart, sexy and cool, mostly because she’s mastered a formula that works for her: stand out cat-eye liner, and a bright lip.  Simple enough, and still so striking.

We’ve teamed up with celebrity makeup artist Beth Bender who’s broken down the steps behind Stone’s go-to look.

Cat eyes are easier than ever.  The days of using a credit card to achieve a straight line are over, and  the quicker, more modern way, is to use a cat eye stencil.  It creates a cat eye in a thick or thin version depending on your personal desire and fits any eye shape.  Most importantly it’s a huge time saver, and for those who count every minute, you will be pleasantly surprised.

To start, place the stencil marked “Cat Eye” over your eye and hold in place.  Holding it slightly above eyelid for a thicker line, and closer to the eyelid for a thinner line.  In this picture of Emma you would hold stencil above eyelid.

Next fill in with a powder shadow using a medium size eyeshadow brush that is slightly damp, and sweep color up into point of cat eye.  Remove stencil and repeat on the other eye. Make sure to wipe stencil with a tisuue before doing the other eye.

If you do not want to smoke your cat eye as seen here on Emma, then just leave as is.  You can apply an eyeliner sealant or gel liner over the powder/cat eye to prevent bleeding and keep it on for hours.

To give the cat eye a smoky finish, simply take your eyeshadow brush, and using a lighter shade sweep along the top of cat eye.  Highlight the brow bone with a contrasting color in a light beige or pale shimmery white and sweep the same lighter shade underneath the eye as well.

You can add a waterproof eyeliner pencil to the inside rim and dot in between bottom lashes before smudging slightly.  Mascara in black is a must.  Cheek and lips should remain neutral.

Celebrity Hairstylist Angelo David  The Authority on Hair Extensions

Reveals his secrets to great hair length, volume, style, and glamour.

Angelo David Couture Hair Extensions and Additions™ also known as  “Botox for the Hair” is the secret to taking your tresses from short to long, thin to thick, or just adding a little oomph to your look.  They can be your best-kept-secret…that is, when done correctly.

A beauty-industry veteran, Celebrity Hairstylist Angelo of Angelo David Salon in New York City, found himself frustrated with the lack of quality and customization available for his clients and set about to create a hair-addition system that would reflect the uniqueness of the individual.

After years of research and development, Angelo David Couture Hair Extensions and Additions™ (couture extensions for length; additions and fillers for fuller, thicker hair; fringe for bangs or hairline correction;  and wigs) became a reality— a collection of customizable, 100-percent genuine tresses.

Designed on-site to match your hair texture, type and color, blending seamlessly into your lifestyle for an always beautiful, natural look. As Angelo says, “Over the years, I have worked extensively with long hair, short hair, curly hair and ethnic hair for men and women of all ages and the secret is to work with the extensions so that it looks like your own hair.”  Following the application, the hair is cut and styled for flawless blending. Like haute couture designs, everything about Couture Hair is original and personalized.

I have had mine in since December and love them!  It makes such a huge difference and they blend in beautifully.  If you are going to make the investment, you need to go to the best.  For me it’s Angelo David.

Once you get your extensions in, you’ll want to pick up a bottle of the new Premier Volume Spray from Angelo David.   A must for adding incredible fullness and volume to your hair without creating stiffness on wet or dry hair. The transformative volumizer’s flexible-conditioning formula combines silk and wheat proteins, panthenol and avocado for extra strength and hydration. Evening Primrose enhances shine, while sun protectors keep color vibrant.

DIRECTIONS: Mist evenly onto freshly shampooed, towel dried hair.  Spray directly onto lifted sections from roots to mid-shaft and style as desired. On dry or second-day hair; for extra volume, “set” with your blow dryer, directing air flow multi-directionally.

The new 4 fl. oz (118 ml) Premier Volume Spray will be available exclusively at Angelo David Salon and www.angelodavid.com for $18.50 starting January 25^th, 2012.  For every bottle sold, $1.00 will be donated to the Lupus Foundation of America (www.lupus.org).

Bold, graphic prints will be showing up on frocks, jackets and skirts galore this Spring.  Designer Marni has an excellent rendition of these by covering dresses in gigantic geometric circles and sharp, angular stripes. Much to our surprise, Carven also has a slew of bright, zig zag prints for Spring that look as though they have been clipped straight out of a comic book.

Big Graphic Prints Are Splattered On Designs This Spring

We think the whole Missoni for Target craze got these designers on this graphic print bandwagon. Or perhaps they experienced a sudden jolt of nostalgia and decided to whip out their 6th grade protractors and went on an angle-making frenzy.  What ever the reason, the BSW Fashionistas believe that these outrageous, colorful graphic prints are going to be a big spirit lifter after months of cold rain, snow and gray skies…

At a screening of Haywire in New York City, Blake Lively’s flawless complexion was front and center, even in the dead of winter.  If your skin is naturally clear, a tinted foundation topped with a sheer highlighting powder can take it to the next level.

The lightweight lotion will even skin tone and lend extra radiance; a gentle dusting of powder brightens dull areas and can provide a bit of extra coverage. Apply powder in a polishing motion, using small circular motions to ensure it’s fully blended and doesn’t settle into fine lines.
