JOURDAN DUNN

The model matched her Balmain dress with a brilliant silvery smoky eye, crafted from a mix of two Maybelline New York Eye Studio 24HR Color Tattoo Cream Gel Shadows ($7 each). Makeup artist Hila Karmand first applied the Audacious Asphalt color all over Jourdan’s lid as a base. Then she added Silver Strike to the inner corners of her eyes. After that, to really smoke out the shadows and lock the creams in place, Karmand used the light silver shade in the Maybelline New York The Rock Nudes Palette($10) on the upper lid. Then from the outer corner, she applied the glittery charcoal color (also from the palette) and blended it over the silver until it created a gradient effect. Underneath the lower lash line, she used a pointy pencil brush to blend a gray shadow with black liner.

KARLIE KLOSS

A classic red lip and thick, voluminous lashes work for any occasion—even one where people show up dressed in light-up Cinderella dressesand wolverine contacts, as Karlie proves here. To get the look, L’Oréal Paris celebrity makeup artist Sir John swept two coats of L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Superstar Red Carpet Mascara ($11) over individually applied false lashes. And for her lips, he applied two coats of L’Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Matte Gloss in Rouge Envy ($10), tapping on a little translucent powder to set the color, and finishing with one last swipe.

2016 Oscars — Best Dressed

There were indeed some stunning looks at the 2016 Oscars. Here are my top picks from the evening’s red carpet!

Jennifer Lawrence

Jennifer radiates in this lacy black Christian Dior Couture gown. Other look details include —

jennifer-lawrence-oscars-2016-makeup-w540

Chrissy Teigen

chrissy-teigan

Chrissy looks sensational in this crimson lace Marchesa gown. I love that she is brimming with such beauty and this look is certainly eye-catching. Full look details —

Other beauty look details —

TRESemme Beauty-Full Volume Mousse and TRESemme Beauty-Full Volume Hair Maximizer (each $4.99) Mousse is back with a vengeance this season, but this isn’t the stuff of your worst middle school nightmares. It’s light and airy, and paired with volumizing cream (hairstylist Christian Wood applied it only to the ends of Teigen’s hair) it creates the just-right amount of hold for a braid or updo.

Makeup artist Mary Phillips used the Lorac Unzipped Palette—the lighter colors in it for lift and highlighting, and the darker colors for depth and pop. In-between eyelash hairs, Phillips applied Lorac Front of the Line Pro Liquid Eyeliner in Black to create a thicker, bolder lash line without the heaviness of a full line sitting on top. She then used Lorac Front of the Line Pro Eye Pencil in Bronze and topped it off with Lorac Pro Mascara.

Isla Fisher

As for her hair, here are the details from Ryan Richman for L’Oreal Paris — “Sarah’s Zac Posen gown was sleek and elegant. I like to do the opposite with the hair so opted for a messy tousled wave. I’ve been doing Sarah’s hair for about two years now, so the challenge is to do something I’ve never done before. I have done her hair wavy countless times but never quite like this. This texture shows off her amazing cut and color as well,” he says.

Step 1: First, Ryan prepped damp hair by spraying a generous amount of L’Oreal Paris Advanced Hairstyle Boost It Blow Out Heat Spray, focusing at the root. He used a wide-toothed comb to distribute product throughout the hair and create a deep side part.

Step 2: Using a blow-dryer and his fingers, Ryan rough-dried the roots until halfway dry. He picked up a medium boar bristle round brush to finish drying each section, being careful not to oversmooth the hair, for added volume and a little natural texture.

Step 3: He then used a 1-inch flatiron on medium heat to create a tousled wave, spraying L’Oreal Paris Elnett Satin Hairspray Extra Strong Hold on each section before curling, and holding the flat iron vertically facing the clamp down. In a fluid motion, he twisted the iron and pushed downward to create a loose beachy wave. Ryan alternated directions of the wave as he moved throughout the hair for a beautiful tousled-texture result.

Step 4: Next, Ryan rubbed a small amount of L’Oreal Paris Advanced Hairstyle Txt It Hyper-Fix Putty into the palms of his hands. Focusing at the root, he worked the product through the hair roughly.

Step 5: Last, he used a bobby pin to secure the small side of the part behind Sarah’s ear and misted more hairspray all over the hair to lock in the style.

Jaimie Alexander & Peter Facinelli
