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 .

All products by Fekkai: Fekkai Brilliant Glossing Cream ($25), Fekkai Oceanique Tousled Wave Spray ($25),  Fekkai Sheer Hold Hairspray ($25). Available at Fekkai.com and Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, and Saks Fifth Avenue stores.

I’ve long been a fan of Janet Evanovich’s fun novels about bounty hunter Stephanie Plum. In  my own mind, I had the roles of the characters cast including Sandra Bullock as Stephanie Plum and Dwayne Johnson as  sexy Ranger. But for some reason, the producers didn’t consult me before casting the film!? The plum role (har har) went to Katherine Heigland here she is at the  premiere.

If you are a starlet looking to make a splash on the red carpet, the color RED will do the trick. With the right hair and makeup, red can be not only flattering but bold and eye catching. But we arent here to talk about her dress which I really like. We are dissecting her coif!

“Celebrity hairstylist David Babaii created her red carpet look using Grace Kelly as his inspiration. To transform your tresses from brown to a “Hollywood Blonde” David recommends using the professional hair color Aquarly 20/20 by IT&LY HAIRFASHION to achieve a long-lasting, natural and healthy looking shade.

To create this Grace Kelly inspired look, David started with IT&LY’S Advanced Color Protection Shampoo and Conditioner. After gently towel drying, he applied a small amount of Miracle Oil Hair Elixir by David Babaii for its intense conditioning benefits, superior color preservation and thermal protection.

Next, after blow drying, he used a medium sized curling iron creating curls and directing them off the face and under. To style, David lightly back brushed the fringe area for some height and smoothed this lightly with a medium paddle brush.

He continued the style by using his fingers to loosen the curls into soft waves and drawing all the hair into a loose chignon toward the back of the head and securing with silver coated bobby pins. David finished the style with IT&LY HAIR FASHION’S Pure Definition Hair Spray.”

She’s always been one of my favorites with her dark hair and beautiful skin. I’ve liked Julianna Marguilies since she was Nurse Hathaway on ER. Didn’t you just LOVE the love story between her character and George Clooney’s character? Ahhhh. Here at the Golden Globes, she is stunning in her purple gown. The unexpected pop of color from the earrings was a brilliant choice!

JULIANNA MARGULIES /Makeup Artist: Kristofer Buckle

Inspiration: For Julianna’s makeup, Kris was inspired by Julianna’s deep mauve, metallic Naeem Khan dress. He wanted to create something that would complement its texture and liquid-like flow.

Step by Step How-To:

For the night, Kris kept Julianna’s skin simple with glowing soft tones to accentuate her olive skin

To keep Julianna’s complexion looking flawless he used L’Oréal Paris True Match Super-Blendable Makeup in Soft Ivory

For her cheeks he applied L’Oréal Paris Magic Smooth Soufflé Blush in Plume

The eyes really took center stage with a soft smoky eye that was created with watercolor-like shades using L’Oréal Paris Infallible Eye Shadow in Bronzed Taupe, Eternal Sunshine and Iced Latte

To tie the look together Kris used a hint L’Oréal Paris Infallible Eye Shadow in Iced Latte on Julianna’s upper cheeks to tie in the eyes and glowing tones of her skin

Lips were left unlined and highlighted natural tones (with a hint of mauve) using L’Oréal Paris Infallible Le Rouge in Forever Frappe

At the 2012 Golden Globes Awards, Best Actress nominee Zooey Deschanel won our hearts with her mod cat-eyes courtesy of makeup artist Jorjee Douglass. Using Rimmel products, Douglass blended black and silver shadows along the lid to create the swooping shape, concentrating black shadow in the crease for dimension.

A back-and-forth swipe of a black gel liner along the top lashline, and a few feathery strokes of black pencil along the bottom were the final touches.  As was a generous coating of rich mascara to give Zooey’s eye that retro look we are still talking about today.  To achieve perfect cat eyeliner without the help of a professional makeup artist Jorjee suggests the Get in Line Eyeliner Stencil Kit from beth bender beauty.

I was very excited to try Lina Hanson’s Global Face Serum. I am becoming more and more in favor of using totally natural face products that nourish the skin and feed it with nutrients.

Lina  collected oils from India, Brazil, Morocco, Japan, South Africa, and Tunisia to create this product. The exotic oils were blended and made into the Global Face Serum. You can find the list of natural, healthy ingredients here. There’s nothing harmful to your skin or body, the ingredients are very pure and good for you.

This oil will launch in 2012 so I was thrilled to get a sneak peek. I brought my little bottle into the bathroom so I could apply it as soon as I stepped out of the shower. As luck would have it, I stumbled and dropped the bottle, it shattered and this precious oil went all over the floor!

As I picked up the shards of glass, I cut my hand and began to bleed. Meanwhile, my daughter grabbed what was left in the bottle and poured it into a small container, salvaging a bit of the serum which is what I’ve been using! What a story.

The few days worth that was saved impressed me! I think between using my Vapour Organic Cleansing oil and the Global Face Serum, my skin has never looked better and I barely need any foundation which is pretty amazing. You will love the feeling of this on your skin, a few drops is all you need to cover your face. I do not add any other moisturizer, I just use this before bed.

You will see a difference in your skin when you use this serum. For more information about Lina, her amazing book and the Global Face Serum, please go here.
