Get the Look: Jennifer Aniston's Sun-Kissed Glow

How gorgeous does Jennifer Aniston look at the New York premiere of "The Bounty Hunter"? She's ageless.

Below, Angela Levin— the super artist behind Jen's warm, sun-kissed glow— shares how she achieved the look:

I was inspired by her gorgeous nude dress and her beachy hair. She worked
with hair stylist Chris McMillan who created long soft waves to frame her
beautiful face.

I prepped Jen's skin with CHANEL Sublimage Serum. Then, as I base I used
CHANEL Mat Lumiere Fluid Makeup in Natural all over the face, with a bit of
the CHANEL Natural Finish Pressed Powder in Clair.

For the eyes,
concealer, and cheeks, I used a fabulous new palette— Collection
Essentielle de CHANEL Multi-Use Make-Up Palette in Paris-New York. On her
lids I used the light beige powder shade all over, and in the crease I
applied the light brown shade. I wet that same shade, and used an eyeliner
brush to line the eyes— top and bottom. Finally, I took a bit of the
reddish brown shade and applied it under the eyes. The red hue in the
powder really made Jen's blue eyes pop. To finish the eyes, I applied two
coats of CHANEL Inimitable Mascara.

For the cheeks, I used my fingers to dab on the cream blush from the
Paris-New York palette, and dusted on my favorite bronzer, Soleil Tan de
CHANEL in Desert Corail.

Finally, to complete the look, I applied CHANEL
Rouge Coco Lip Colour in Beige Felin, a beautiful beigy nude colour, topped
with the pink glosses from the Paris-New York palette.

Get the Look: Gwen Stefani's Signature Curls

Posted by babu 2:54pm GMT

Celebrity stylist Philip Pelusi shares his step-by-step guide to achieving retro-inspired curls, like Gwen's:

Start with clean, dry hair. Hair should have a low side part (either side is fine), and be smooth and dry. So air-dry only if the hair is a smooth texture. If the hair is wavy, then blow-dry smooth. Use P2 by Philip Pelusi RepairHair to smooth, strengthen and shine hair to protect it from heat and prepare it for further styling.

Next, a hot-roller set. Work 1 section at a time. Take sections the same width and length of each hot roller. Mist on P2 by Philip Pelusi RefresHair. Look for one that is resin-free, dries crystal-clear and is water-soluble. Lightly mist the entire strand, concentrating on the ends for extra protection and smoothing of sometimes rougher ends, then roll hot roller and then clip at the roots to hold. Once entire head is rolled, then lightly mist the entire head and in between each roller at the root for extra lift once the rollers are removed.

Allow the roller set to stay in until completely cooled. Do not take the rollers out any sooner, or the curls pattern will be weak and will not hold up during the final styling stage to create this look. Take down rollers. Next, with a soft boar-bristle paddle brush, gently brush through the curls and finger-style as you move along. Do not overbrush. Gently brush through the curls once or twice until the entire head looks wavy and large curls at the bottom of the hair. Choose a brush — like Tela Beauty Organics by Philip Pelusi Natural Brush — that has a combination of both natural boar bristles and soft resin bristles with a soft domed oval base. This type of brush creates shine while smoothing the hair. Lightly re-mist with same setting spray to help control curls if needed.

Once hair is groomed into place, do a final mist of shine spray. Choose a product that has sunscreens to protect hair and hair color, is water-soluble and creates a brilliant shine, like P2 by Philip Pelusi BrilliantHair.

2010 Oscars: Behind the Scenes With Anna Kendrick

Posted by babu 9:35am GMT

Celebrity makeup artist Sara Glick created Best Supporting Actress nominee Anna Kendrick's latest look, with both hair and makeup clocking in under 45 minutes flat:

“We really kept the vibe mellow — everyone was just having fun and enjoying the experience. Setting that as the tone, I think Anna was able to stay very calm and relaxed while taking everything in. We always have a lot of fun getting ready, and even though this is a VERY big night for her, she kept as cool as a cucumber. I would say that her easygoing personality was a great precursor to the evening.”

The inspiration? Youthful, ethereal beauty — think soft, natural glowing skin. Get the look with a page out of Sara's personal notes:

Skin: Arcona Magic White Ice
"Anna has beautiful skin and doesn't need much to make it glow. I prepped her skin with a light, all-natural moisturizer to help it stay hydrated throughout the night."

Cheeks: Tarte Natural Cheek Stain in Eco-Cheek
"For a natural flush, I accented Anna's cheekbones with a coral shade [dabbed and blended on the apples]."

Lips: Tarte LipSurgence Natural Lip Stain in Charmed; Tarte Double-Ended Natural Lipglosses in Jake & Samantha
"I wanted to create a soft, healthy pink lip with a touch of shine."

Finish: Arcona Lavender Hydrasol
"I finished with a light spritz of lavender mist for added hydration and an extra dose of calming with aromatherapy."

Get the Look: Rachel McAdams' Ethereal Glow

Recreate Rachel's red-carpet radiance with this complete color guide, courtesy of her makeup artist Kayleen McAdams:

"We chose our color palette based on the watercolor look of Rachel’s dress. There was a wash of cool tones in the dress — blue, green, purple, pink — so we wanted the eye, cheek and lips to all have this same watercolor sheerness."

For Rachel’s eyes, Kayleen used a combination of gray and pink shades. On the lid, she used CHANEL Fluid Iridescent Eyeshadow in Fountain. She kept the gray on the outer corners of the lid and underneath the eye. She used the rose gold shade in the CHANEL Quadra Eyeshadow in Spices up to the brow bone and along the lid. To finish it off, Kayleen used CHANEL Soft Touch Eye Shadow in Slate in the inner corner of the eye, and followed up with two coats of CHANEL Inimitable Mascara in Noir.

She kept the lips very simple with CHANEL Rouge Coco Lip Colour in Rose Comete, a beautiful light pink shade, and a bit of CHANEL Glossimer in Futile to accentuate the lips but keep the focus on the eyes.

Get the Look: Alicia Keys' Voluminous Updo

Posted by babu 5:37pm GMT

Celebrity stylist Ric Pipino shares his step-by-step guide to achieving a voluminous updo, like Alicia Keys':

Step One: Prep Your Tresses
After shampoo and conditioning the hair, you need to prep. If hair is naturally curly, try Revolution In Cut Curl Me creme to enhance and define the natural curl and to prevent frizz. For fine, straight hair, use Revolution In Cut Lift Me spray to add volume.

Step Two: Lift Your Locks
Blow-dry the hair, getting as much lift from the roots as possible to create added volume. For naturally curly hair, use your fingers to lift the hair directly up from the root. For fine, straight hair, use a flat brush to lift the hair.

Step Three: Create Texture
Once the hair is dry, use ½ inch and ¾ inch curling irons to curl the hair. Section the hair in 1-inch sections, then curl each section directly to the root, alternating the different size curling irons with each section throughout the entire head. Do not brush out hair during this process. To hold the curl, spray each section with hairspray.

Step Four: Brush & Band
Once the hair is completely curled, using a Mason and Pearson brush, loosely lift the curl out, creating as much volume as possible. Then pull the hair directly back, parallel to your ear. Hold with a taut headband, or pin the hair, to the point most desirable for the shape of your face in order to enhance your jawline and facial features. Using a wide-tooth comb, slightly back-comb the hair in the back to your desired width. Hold the look with hairspray.

“This season, we took inspiration from our Sicilian heritage, and the art of traditional tailoring — sartorialità,” says Domenico Dolce. “The beauty look is all about modern feminine perfection, with impeccably pure, detailed touches, like the stained lip,” adds Stefano Gabbana.

Recreate the look with this step-by-step guide, courtesy of makeup artist Pat McGrath:

First, Pat used Dolce & Gabbana The Foundation Perfect Finish Powder Foundation to create a perfected canvas. Next, she applied Dolce & Gabbana The Blush Luminous Cheek Colour in Provocative and Rose on cheeks for a feminine glow.

On the eyes, Pat blended the taupe shadow from Dolce & Gabbana The Eyeshadow Smooth Colour Quad in Nude onto eyelids, up to the brow. She then created a slight wing along the upper eyelid with Dolce & Gabbana The Eyeliner Crayon Intense in Black. Next, Pat lined the inner eyelid with Dolce & Gabbana The Eyeliner Crayon Intense in Nude. The inner eye corners, center eyelids, and cupid’s bow were highlighted with the pearl shimmer from the Dolce & Gabbana The Eyeshadow Smooth Colour Quad in Golds. To complete the eye look, Pat defined lashes with Dolce & Gabbana The Mascara Voluminized Lashes in Black.

To achieve the models' stained, red lips, Pat blotted them with a mix of Dolce & Gabbana The Lipstick Classic Cream Lipstick in Devil and Ultra, and then applied Dahlia to the center of the lips.

CHANEL Celebrity Makeup Artist Kara Yoshimoto Bua— the mastermind behind Michelle's latest look— shares her inspiration, technique and must-have products:

Michelle's look was inspired by simple elegance. I kept her youthful glow by first moisturizing with CHANEL Sublimage Fluid, with then a wash of CHANEL Teint Innocence Foundation in Beige, blended with my fingers.

We focused on lashes using CHANEL Sculpte Cils Mascara on the upper and lower lashes, and warmed up the eyes with CHANEL Quadra Eye Shadow in Kaska Beige. To brighten and open the eyes I used CHANEL Éclat Lumière Highlighter Face Pen in Light Medium on the inner eye, under eye and brow bone, and blended out to her temples.

The face is neutral using CHANEL Powder Blush in Tempting Beige on the cheeks to contour, with a touch of CHANEL Tweed Blush Duo in Tweed Rose on the apples of the cheeks.

To finish, I defined the lips with CHANEL Lip Definer in Natural, and gave a little shimmer with the pale, shimmery silver CHANEL Aqualumiere Gloss in Colibri.

Get the Look: Emily Blunt's Retro Updo

Posted by babu 5:26pm GMT


Kevin Winter/Getty Images

Celebrity stylist Laini Reeves shares how she created Emily’s gorgeous, '20’s-inspired updo for last night's premiere of "The Wolfman":

To set the mood, I made a custom flapper style accessory— a peacock feather fashioned to an elastic headband. I then took the hair and twisted it up, over and into the band, keeping in tight to the head. The messy texture of the hair helped to modernize the style.

To get this look, start with hair that is smooth and glossy. (I've been using Shu Uemura Essence Absolue while on tour with Emily, a light blow dry lotion that helps to smooth hair and give great gloss.)

Next, gently scrunch dry hair to encourage a natural wave and boost texture. Then simply secure the headband and twist hair up and over around band, to back of head with messy bun at nape of neck.

To finish, loosen a few strands of hair for a more modern, tousled look, then mist with a light-hold spray.
