Get The Look: Olivia Munn at the Red Carpet Premiere of Mordecai

Celebrity hairstylist Christian Marc created the look for Olivia Munn using Leonor Greyl for last night's red carpet premiere of ‘Mortdecai’.

“Olivia is wearing a gorgeous, floor length, black dress that is very sexy and has a beautiful, body-hugging silhouette.  The vibe that we went with for her hair was a glamorous, mid-70s style – very high fashion.

I started by applying Leonor Greyl Mousse au Lotus Volumatrice from root to tip on her damp hair, combing it through to make sure it was evenly distributed.  Then, once her hair was dry I began curling her hair with a 1” curling iron, starting from the back of the head to the front.  To ensure that there was enough body and texture to last all night, I would spray each section with Voluforme before curling it. When I got to the front, I switched to a 1½” curling iron for more relaxed waves.

After curling her whole head, I applied Éclat Naturel to the curls while brushing them out with a Mason Pearson Brush, just using my fingers and the tip of the brush.  Éclat Naturel is one of the best products on the market – the texture and hold are amazing and the product is so versatile.  It leaves the hair with a silky feeling while still giving it great hold.

Once I brushed through the waves, I shook out her hair and sprayed it once more with Leonor Greyl Voluforme.  Especially for a red carpet event, I make sure to use a little more hairspray than usual so that it holds throughout the night.

To finish off the look, I applied Serum de Soie Sublimateur to the end of her hair and the top to give it a little bit of sheen and make it just a tad sleeker.  By only using a little, it gave it a more polished effect and kept it from looking too harsh and sleek.”

NARS Spring 2015 Color Collection

How I love the nude look that Francois Nars has created using his new Spring 2015 Color Collection! Tilda Swinton is one of my favorite actors and that face, well I just love her versatility. While we have seen much color in the past NARS collections, this pays homage to a more softer, subtle look.

While NARS is known for daring color, this collection shows a different side of the brand’s ethos. As François explains, “I think a woman can look very beautiful not wearing any color at all but just neutral shades of beiges, browns, and ivories. You can really sculpt the face in a very beautiful way without always having to use bold shades. That’s what this collection is all about. I thought it was very fresh and surprising, which is what I always love to do: surprise people.” 

The Spring 2015 Color Collection features Tilda Swinton in the second of four ‘Portraits by The Artist’, a seasonal series of acts created by NARS Founder and Creative Director François Nars. Act 2, is a nude scene– daring, baring, anything but neutral.

Disrobed tones in spectral effects expose a new natural state. The look begins with a provocative pink shimmer on cheeks. The barely-there effect extends to eyes, where a bold beige base sets the stage for burnished neutrals with lucid depth. Lips are undone in tan pigments topped with a whisper of opalescent gloss.

Shades Include:

Porto Venere Eye Paint, $25
Soft pale pink

Reckless Blush, $30
Sheer pink shimmer

Valhalla Single Eyeshadow, $25
Soft shimmering pink peach

Liguria Lipstick, $26
Nude caramel
