I’m sure it doesn’t take much to get Christina Hendricks ready for anything. She probably wakes up looking fantastic. For her Emmy night look, makeup artist Vanessa Scali created this soft, etheral look to match Christina’s Zac Posen gown. Here is all you need to know:

Face: Vanessa prepped the skin with Lancôme’s La Base Pro. To perfect Christina’s already luminous skin, Vanessa used Lancôme’s new Teint Miracle Lit-From-Within Makeup. “It has an amazing transparent quality that leaves the skin looking flawless and luminous without being shiny,” said Vanessa. “I applied it with a brush and then blended with my fingers.” Blending with her fingers heated up the foundation a bit, allowing for a seamless finish. Vanessa followed with Effacernes Concealer under the eyes, her “all time favorite concealer.”

Cheeks: For a fresh pop of color I used Lancôme’s Blush Subtil Shimmer in Pink Pool on the apples of her cheeks. Dabs of Giorgio Armani Beauty’s Fluid Sheer #2 highlighted Christina’s cheekbones.

Eyes: The eye shadow was mix of YSL’s Ombre Solo Eyeshadow in Cashmere Brown and Midnight Black. “I applied these all over her lid, under the bottom lashes and blended it out past her natural lash line to softly elongate the eye,” reported Vanessa.

Eye Liner: To define and elongate the lash line, Vanessa lined the eyes with Lancôme’s Le Crayon Khôl in Black. “I used a touch of liner under her bottom lashes but smudged it for a softer look,” said Vanessa.  For added depth, Vanessa used Artliner Precision Point Eyeliner in Noir at the very base of Christina’s lashes.

Mascara: Several generous coats of Lancôme Définicils Waterproof Mascara in Black were used on the top and bottom lashes.

Lips: Christina’s lips were a mix of Lancôme lip colors for an effect that Vanessa described as “red with a little dash of pink.” A sheer coat of Color Design Matte Lipstick in Corset was topped by La Laque Fever Lipshine in Cyber Coral.

HOW TO GET LEA MICHELE’S HAIR LOOK, nominee for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for her breakout role in “Glee.”

Celebrity editorial stylist Mark Townsend created a modern and fresh hair look for Lea Michele. “Lea wanted her hair to look touchable and super modern, and full hair with lots of volume and a bit of roughness was perfect against her flawless gown” said stylist Mark Townsend.

Here’s how to get Lea Michele’s look:

• “Lea’s look started with clean hair.  She used Dove Daily Treatment Conditioner to give softness and smoothness in the time it takes to use a conditioner.

·         “The end-of-Summer timing of the Emmys is a perfect opportunity to play with color. Lea is still shooting episodes of “Glee” and we couldn’t do anything permanent, so I added in a few custom pieces of hair to add dimension and giver her removable highlights for the evening. The result was a golden/coppery effect throughout the ends of her hair.

·         “I wanted Lea’s hair to move in all different directions, so I added in Dove Body & Lift Volumizing Mousse throughout damp her and blow dried with a round brush to add lift.

• “Next  spray 3 inch sections of hair with Dove Heat Defense Therapy Mist to protect hair against heat styling damage before using an iron
• “Then use a 2 inch curling iron to give a subtle bend or ‘S’ curl, rather than a perfect curl. Curl from the ends all the way up, and set each section with a barrel clip for 5 to 7 minutes or until cool.
• “Scrunch hair with Dove Daily Moisture Therapy Replenishing Mist to add moisture and blow dry briefly without a diffuser to look a bit undone.

·         “Warm a pea-sized amount of Dove Frizz Control Therapy Taming Cream between the palms of hands.  Rake fingers through hair to distribute product evenly for shiny, modern texture.

·         “To evoke Brigitte Bardot inspiration, tease hair at the crown for extra volume and lift.

·         “To finish Lea’s look I sprayed Dove Unscented Extra Hold Hairspray with Natural Movement (Aerosol) liberally on a small, natural bristle eyebrow brush (the kind that looks like a wooden toothbrush) and ran it through her bangs to hold a middle part. The parted bangs gave a modern update to the 60’s vibe of her hair.

·         “I gave Lea a 2 oz. Dove Extra Hold Hairspray with Natural Movement and the natural eyebrow brush to take with her in case she needed a touchup.”

HOW TO GET JANUARY JONES’S HAIR LOOK, nominee for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her iconic role in “Mad Men.”

Celebrity editorial stylist Mark Townsend created an edgy, fashion-forward look for January Jones. “A textured, asymmetrical bob was the perfect way to incorporate January’s love of editorial fashion and runway style into a feminine, yet tough look,” said stylist Mark Townsend.

Here’s how to get January Jones’s look:

·         “The night before, use Dove Intensive Repair Damage Therapy Shampoo and Conditioner to strengthen hair and prevent damage.

·         “Second day texture was key to achieve this runway-meets-Hollywood look, so I pre-styled her hair the night before. Distribute Dove Curl & Sculpt Defining Mousse throughout and blow dry hair with round brush to add lift

·         “Set top sections of hair with large, 3 inch Velcro rollers for 15-20 minutes. While rollers set, add extensions in the front only to make hair longer in the front and shorter in the back.

·         “Spritz throughout with Dove Heat Defense Therapy Mist to protect against styling damage.

·         “Wrap 1 ½ to 2 inch sections of hair around a 1 inch curling iron to create a big, loose wave instead of a tight curl.

·         “The next day, reapply mousse to add lift to hair, and blow dry gently with a round brush to freshen up ends but not set perfectly.

·         “Rake a small amount of Dove Frizz Control Therapy Taming Cream through hair to add smoothness.

·         “Finish the look by spraying Dove Flexible Hold Hairspray with Natural Movement (Aerosol) to set the style but still allow movement.”

Tips from Celebrity Editorial Stylist Mark Townsend for Dove Hair Care:

“I was there for Lea’s dress fitting. Everyone in the room knew the Oscar de la Renta gown was “the one” as soon as she put it on, so my brain started working immediately. I wanted to find a way to blend Hollywood and fashion together. Her hair has a modern feel but is inspired by Brigitte Bardot.”

“I texted Lea when she was in the car on her way to the carpet and told her to not brush her hair with a regular hairbrush!  I wanted it to have some texture and separation, so I gave her a mini-bottle of Dove Hairspray and natural bristle eyebrow brush in case.”

“This has been my favorite Emmys of my entire career. Everything was so relaxed and went so smoothly – it’s been the most fun and the most me. “

“January has to maintain very specific hair style for her show, so she doesn’t have the freedom to cut her hair. A modern, asymmetrical bob was the perfect way to have fun with her look.”

It’s been a while since we’ve shared the scoop from the red carpet on which celebs are loving beth bender beauty and her Get in Line Eyeliner Kit. So here we go………..On Sunday The Sisters attended and covered The Hollywood Breakthrough Awards in Hollywood.

It was a crazy night filled with lots of celebrities, media, and press all vying for a key spot on the Red Carpet, but it was the sisters who worked the room and managed to prop themselves right next to US Weekly, People Magazine, and Access Hollywood, charming every star who passed by, and later getting the ladies to each give a quote on the Get in line Kit and beth bender beauty.

Sofia Vergara, from Modern Family who was there to accept an award was stunning as usual. Not only is she gorgeous but she is the sweetest woman evah!! She loves makeup and the girls could have talked for hours, but time was precious since everyone wanted a piece of her. When they asked her what her favorite eyeliner kit was, without skipping a beat, she said and we quote in her sexy, latin accent, “come on girls, are you kidding me? I don’t go anywhere without my Get in Line Eyeliner Kit. I use it for lining and doing my cat eyes almost everyday. It is the best!”.  You heard it here first.

Dianna Agron from the hit show Glee was also there, and could not have been sweeter. Her Publicist, not so sweet but that didn’t stop the sisters from getting the scoop on her favorite beauty “can’t live without products”. She told the girls she is “in love with her SGB Smoky Eyeshadow Kit“ and was actually wearing the colors from the kit that night. They looked beautiful as you can see here in the pic above.

She also said she loves her XXX Lip glosses in Bitten and Delicious and orders 6 at a time just to make sure she always has one on hand. When asked about the eyeliner stencils she said “I can’t tell you how many times those stencils have saved me from a makeup disaster. They are amazing!”

AnnaLynne McCord, of Beverly Hills 90210, and Rose Byrne of Damages were also there, and the sisters were able to speak with Rose Byrne during the cocktail party. She was wearing a beautiful red lip color, and with barely there makeup, her skin looked flawless. She told the girls her favorite beth bender beauty products were The Strip Lip gloss in red and her Get in Line Eyeliner Kit in SGB and Camille. According to Rose, the makeup artist on the show fell in love with the line and now she uses as part of her makeup kit. Very cool…

Who knew that a night filled with so many stars would also be filled with so many fans of beth bender beauty. Just another fabulous night in Hollywood!

This past Tuesday night at The Metropolitan in New York City, fashion designer Sue Wong, found herself amongst the fabulous stars and film makers of “Eat Pray Love,” starring the one and only Julia Roberts.  Sue looked magnificent as she gracefully made her way around the party.  Her new collection inspired by “Eat Pray Love,” is now available in all fine department stores nationwide.

When Sue was asked how she prepared for her collaboration and where she drew her inspiration from for her new Eat Pray Love Collection, this was her answer…

“I have always loved Indian culture, philosophy and in particular, Indian style… The textiles with gorgeous bead work and embroidery are based on vintage Indian saris, and many hours were spent in the research and execution of these textiles which bring so much rich color and texture, adding to the beauty and exotic flair of this beautiful, special, and limited edition of the Eat,Pray, Love Collection…”

Sue told BSW that she had a blast at the party and enjoyed hanging with some really talented people.  The Bender Sisters without a doubt, place Sue Wong in that category:)

Don’t miss the opening of “Eat Pray Love” starring Miss Julia Roberts, and catch a glimpse of why celebrity fashion designer Sue Wong was so inspired by this infamous story written by Elizabeth Gilbert…

“Pretty Little Liars” actress Lucy Hale made her mark on the red carpet at the 2010 Teen Choice Awards. mark Celebrity Makeup Artist Mai Quynh provided her expert makeup tips for recreating Lucy’s gorgeous look!

Mai Quynh Explains How She Created Lucy’s Red Carpet Look:

Eyes

“To begin, I used the mark Concealer Brush to apply the bronze shade from mark Keep It Going Longwear Eyeliner & Shadow in Surreal to her lashline and blended upwards to the crease. Next, I applied a top coat of mark I-Mark Custom Pick Eye Shadow in Gioia into the crease and smudged up to her brow bone. Next, I lined both her upper and bottom lashline with mark I-Mark Custom Pick Eye Shadow in Java using the mark Flat Eyeliner Brush. To add an extra hint of drama, I lined her inner lids with mark Eyemarker Color On Line in Jet and finished with two coats of mark Make It Big Lash Plumping Mascara in Raven.”

Face

“I prepped Lucy’s face by applying mark Face Xpert Flawless Touch Makeup in Golden with the mark Foundation Brush to even out her skin tone. Next, I dabbed mark Good Riddance Hook Up Concealer in Light/Medium under her eyes, blending it in with the mark Concealer Brush. For her cheeks, I used the mark Foundation Brush to apply mark Just Pinched Instant Blush in Peachy to the apples of her cheeks. I then dusted a light coating of mark Matte-nificent Oil-Absorbing Powder to eliminate any excess shine in her t-zone. I then swept a combination of mark Bronze Pro Bronzing Powder in Pro Golden and mark Glowdacious Illuminating Powder in Shimmied Up with the mark Powder Brush to accentuate the contours of her face and add a gorgeous radiance.”

Lips

“I used mark Juice Jems Lip Gloss in Juicy Fig to give Lucy’s lips the perfect amount of color and shine, without looking overdone.”

This Thursday, August 12th will mark the first GET TOGETHER ART FESTIVAL for Nevaville. A full service boutique production company based in Manhattan, and owned by two of the most passionate, driven, ambitious, and soon to be extremely successful men who are barely out of their teenage years.

Young Entrepreneur’s and film makers, Paolo Marchica, and Joswell Valdez had the idea to put together a group of young artists, including musicians, singers, rap artists, DJs’, comedians, designers, photographers, and painters all under one roof, on one night. To get people “together”, to connect, get exposed, and most importantly to put down the “crackberry” as I like to call it, for some amazing NYC culture. Guests (mostly college age and under 30) will be entertained all night long with some of the hottest up and coming talent, while enjoying cocktails and a great tri-level space from Bar 13, and delicious food from Serafina, of the Serafina Restaurant Group.

“The Get Together Art Festival” is an elaborate gathering of artists from all 5 boroughs including the newest up and coming talent New York has to offer. Performances from DJs, bands, comedians and entertainers, to galleries of photographers, painters, and young new clothing designers will be showing their work. The night will also include special celebrity guest appearances who will be there to support, and promote The Get Together Art Festival.

The Get Togther Art Festival will be held at Bar 13 (bar13.com) this Thursday, August 12th. The party starts at 8pm and goes until 4am. It has been one of the most talked about summer events in NYC, and one you definitely do not want to miss!

You can purchase a ticket at the door on the night of the event, and if you would like more information, you can call Bar 13:

Yesterday at the Teen Choice Awards, Lea Michele from Glee, nominee and presenter this year, looked stunning on The Red Carpet…And her Dove Hair rocked the awards thanks to stylist Mark Townsend!

HOW TO GET LEA MICHELE’S HAIR LOOK

Celebrity editorial stylist Mark Townsend created a full, voluminous, summery hair look for Lea Michele. “Lea wanted to look modern and sexy and this bold style, with lots of volume and texture, was perfect for the Teen Choice Awards,” said stylist Mark Townsend.

Here’s how to get Lea Michele’s look:

• Shampoo and condition with Dove Damage Therapy Volume Boost Shampoo and Conditioner the night before to leave hair looking healthy and full of body
• Distribute Dove Body & Lift Volumizing Mousse throughout and blow dry hair with round brush to add lift
• Divide hair into 5 sections: 1 top, 2 sides, 2 back
• Apply Dove Heat Defense Therapy Mist to individual sections immediately before applying curling iron to protect hair against heat styling damage
• Starting with the back section, use a double barrel curling iron on 3 inch sections of hair, letting the curled pieces fall and hair cool without pinning
• Continue to curl the entire head using the double barreled iron to create figure-eight style waves
• Warm a pea-sized amount of Dove Frizz Control Therapy Taming Cream between the palms of hands.  Rake fingers through hair to distribute product evenly for shiny, beachy texture.
• Flip head upside down to slightly loosen up the look and spray Dove Unscented Extra Hold Hairspray with Natural Movement throughout

You can get Dove Hair Care at all grocery and specialty stores world wide!

It’s August and now the summer count down has begun.  All the stores are pushing “Back to School,” and Fall fashions are on every one’s minds…except mine, that is!  I’m not ready to put my sun dresses and comfy sandals away just yet.  Now is the time to get in all the summer activities you’ve been putting off!

Get a group of close friends together, pack up your gear and head over to a local campsite for fun by the camp fire!  Google campsites in your area and pick one!  What a great way to enjoy each other, relax and feel like you are a pioneer!  Crack open a nice Merlot and bring your stress level down…

The Beach is still a fun filled adventure for family and friends…Grab your SPF, hats, food, drinks, sand toys, beach towels and swim suits and breathe in the fresh sea air.  Best anti-aging secret around.  Being a kid again!  (I like to bring a good book…)

Bungee jumping will get your adrenaline going and give you a natural high.  You’ll soar to new heights as you continue to move up and down…This is safer then jumping out of a plane…I think!

And last but not least, go hear some good music at your local park or nearest outdoor venue.  Some parks even have bands play throughout the day so you can pack up a nice picnic basket, blanket and chairs for the whole day. To find local music in your area check the newspaper or go on line…Google is your friend!

All of these fun things I’ve mentioned won’t break your piggy bank and best of all, give you wonderful memories for years to come…:)
