Get The Look: Daisy Ridley

Celebrity hairstylist Robert Vetica created Daisy Ridley’s playful textured bob for the EE BAFTA British Academy Film Awards.

Vetica says Daisy Ridley “slayed” in her color-blocked, embroidered Roland Mouret frock. That cool and confident look is what inspired her hairstyle, “I kept the hair freshly undone and coifed away from her face.” Her hair was just as aspirational as her outfit. 



The result was shoulder-length waves that were effortlessly chic.

To get the look, Vetica first applied Leonor Greyl Mousse au Lotus Volumatrice to give her hair volume and bounce.
He blow-dried the hair back in the direction of the finished style and added a low side part.
The right side back was swept away from Ridley’s face. When dried, Vetica curled the hair starting in the back. Leonor Greyl Condition Naturelle was used to protect the hair from heat, as he twisted and dragged each section around a curling iron to create effortless waves.
The leave-in conditioning spray also added extra hold and an edgy texture to the hair.
To break up the curls, he worked in Leonor Greyl Éclat Naturel Styling Cream. 



Of course Ridley’s hair had to look polished for hours, so Vetica misted with Leonor Greyl Voluforme to finish the look.

Leonor Greyl products are available at Nordstorm.com

Get The Look: Chrissy Teigen at The Grammy Awards 2017

I just swapped out my beauty blender for a silicone option so this article was of great interest to me. Learning that Patrick Ta created last night's red carpet look for Chrissy Teigen using The Makeup Drop, the original silicone makeup applicator, made for a convincing switch.



Step 1//SKIN: Patrick prepped Chrissy's face by washing it with La Mer The Refining Facial, prior to applying The Moisturizing Gel Cream to give her complexion a luminous and smooth base. Before any makeup, he added a poreless primer and hydrated her lips using La Mer Lip Balm.

Step 2//FACE: Patrick used the Le Mer The Mist to cool down the face before applying foundation with oil to ensure an endless glow. Patrick used THE MAKEUP DROP to ensure that the foundation blended seamlessly into Chrissy's skin. "I love using The Makeup Drop because it doesn't waste any product." - Patrick Ta 


To highlight under the eyes, Patrick used La Mer concealer -two shades lighter- to bring light to the face using THE MAKEUP DROP's tapered end to precisely blend under the eyes, before applying a translucent powder to hold the concealer in place and brighten. 


Next, Patrick applied a highlighter to the high points of the cheekbones and blush to the apples of the cheeks in a bronzy pink shade before finishing the face with Sephora's Translucent Powder and a setting spray.

Step 3//EYES: Patrick created a bold eye using Sephora Copper Rush 291, Lucky Penny 220 and Pearl 285, and a smudged black liner. Next, he curled Chrissy's lashes and coated twice with black mascara and Mink Kiss Lashes in Little Black Dress.

Step 4://BROWS: To create a thicker brow Patrick used eyebrow pencil in a shade that was one shade lighter than Chrissy's natural brows.

Step 5//LIPS: To complete the look, Patrick mixed Sephora Liquid Mattes in 23 and with Sephora 04 liner with a clear gloss to top it off.

Get The Look: Paris Jackson at the 2017 Grammy Awards




Who: Paris Jackson at the 2017 Grammy Awards  
The Look: Cool girl glam  
The Inspiration:  Rimmel London Make-up Artist Jo Baker wanted to create a careful balance between Paris Jackson’s outfit and makeup. Paris wore a dazzling disco inspired Balmain jumpsuit in an array of pastel hues, with thigh high slits up each leg and a plunging neckline – so Jo opted to keep her makeup smooth and natural with subtle details.  

How to Get the Look: 
Skin
Jo wanted Paris’ skin to look flawless and healthy. After dotting Rimmel LondonMatch Perfection Concealer around her eyes, nose and mouth, Jo then applied a sheer coat of Rimmel LondonInstaFlawless Skin Tint to add a natural looking glow with smooth creamy finish. The result is a balanced, soft and radiant glow. InstaFlawless Skin Tint is perfect for this kind of event – it acts as a primer, smoothing the texture of the skin so that it sits pretty while also providing a much needed SPF15 for that mid-day LA heat!  

Cheeks
Paris and Jo both love face sculpting! Jo used a contour that has a soft de-focusing finish so that when the camera light hits, it looks like beautiful skin and not a harsh stripy line. To create a subtle and undetectable sculpted look, Jo used a medium sized blush brush to apply Rimmel London Insta Flawless Matte Setting Powder to help apply an even contour and sculpt effect. Then, using her favorite Rimmel London Kate Sculpting & Highlighting Kit in Golden Sands, she applied smooth strokes of the contour shade from the sides of her mouth all the way up towards the top of her ears.  

Eyes 
Jo loves Paris’ intense ice-blue eyes. So without hesitation, they opted for a natural and clean eyelid and concentrated on Paris’ lashes. She applied a generous amount of Rimmel London Scandaleyes Mascara for a long lasting mega volume effect. This mascara and applicator brush gives lashes a curl by pushing them up with each stroke. 

Brows
Jo combed through her brows and added several strokes of Rimmel LondonProfessional Eyebrow Pencil in Dark Brown to fill in any gaps and give her strong, yet natural brows with a sharp angular look. Using the nifty brow comb, Jo repeated the process until her brows were the desired shape and fullness. The key to Paris’ brows are the razor tight line creating the arch, so Jo used her concealer brush with the leftover concealer on it to refine and define the edges to make sure it looked clean and dramatic.

Lips
To finish off the look, Jo lined her lips using Rimmel London Exaggerate Full Colour Lip Liner in Innocent which is a soft nude beige tone which even has a soft sheen to it. She kept it simple with her new favorite Rimmel London The Only 1 Matte in Trendsetter which is the perfect blend of warm and cool tones. For that perfect graceless nude that glides on creamy and feels super comfortable on the lip as well.
