How To Get Holly Hunter’s Hairstyle at the Emmy Awards 2009

Outstanding Actress in a Drama Series nominee Holly Hunter is noted for her formidable mane, and her Emmy’s look was no exception as her dramatic locks once again turned heads. Movie-star beautiful and naturally elegant, her waved hair was silky smooth and shiny, and absolutely eye-catching. Star stylist Enzo Angileri who created the look, was inspired by the glamorous metallic sheen of her gown. He created a rich texture emphasized by intense waves, smoothness, and shine.

“I wanted her to look glamorous and goddess-like,” said Angileri, “and the hair had to look luminous.”

“Holly’s hair and color is beautiful,” said Angileri, “and I wanted to bring out its deep gold and honey tones for the cameras. Shine was everything in this look since these amazing highlights wouldn’t be at all visible in hair that was not shiny enough to reflect the light — especially on camera and in photos.

How To Get Debra Messing’s Hairstyle at the Emmy Awards 2009

Debra Messing’s head-turning look was one of the most beautiful seen at the 61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards. Complimenting her dramatic red Michael Kors gown, star stylist Robert Vetica created a truly inspired low, asymmetrical ponytail shaped into a free-flowing cluster of curls that resembled an elegant chignon.

“It was all about style complemented by sensuous movement and healthy, natural-looking ease,” said Vetica. “A smooth, shiny texture was the essence of the look.”

The technique was as brilliant as the look, and was achieved without any curling or flat irons, using only Moroccanoil Treatment, Moroccanoil Glimmer Shine Spray, a blowdryer and a round brush.

To ensure smooth, natural-looking and weightless shine, Vetica first generously applied argan-oil infused, original Moroccanoil Treatment to Messing’s coarse textured, curly wet hair. “Her hair loves the ultra-light richness of Moroccanoil Treatment and it absorbs in instantly without any residue. There’s nothing else like it for this kind of shine,” said Vetica.

Rihanna Got New Blonde Highlights

Celebrity hair watch: Rihanna Got New Blonde Highlights.

Rihanna seems to not be afraid to try out trends straight off the runways. Rihanna’s very short haircut now gets blonde highlights! It reminds me of the 80’s punk look (George Michael “Wake Me Up Before You GO GO”?). I’ve seen the 80’s inspired look and hairstyles making a comeback backstage at Betsey Johnson Spring 2010, during New York Fashion Week. With 80’s classic music hits playing in the background, I must add. Loved it!!

Rihanna is also sporting a fall makeup trend: dark purple lips.

To get Rihanna’s dark purple inspired lips try MAC Mattene Lipstick in Night Violet. Shade description: Deep purple grape (Matte).

To get Rihanna’s weightless volume and ‘guts’ to hair try: Aerate 08 bodifying cream-mousse by Redken. This new mousse was a huge hit backstage during New York Fashion Week Spring 2010 at shows like: Badgley Mischka and Betsey Johnson. I’ve been using this mousse myself for the past week, and it works amazing to tame my very wavy frizz-prone hair, air dried or blow dried. According to Redken’s lead hairstylist backstage Peter Gray: many people afraid of a mousse as a styling product because all they think is the 80’s and that big hair. But in his opinion, mousse was the best thing invented for hair. He also said that most people afraid of styling products which shouldn’t be the case. Styling products are here to help you get the hairstyle you want. Also it is very important to apply styling products in the right way: use the right brush to apply or the right quantity.

 BTW: Do you love Rihanna’s new blonde highlights?

How To Get Hayden Panettiere’s Makeup Look at the Emmy Awards 2009

Celebrity Makeup Artist Amy Oresman created Neutrogena brand ambassador Hayden Panettiere’s look for the 2009 Emmy awards, where Hayden presented the award for Best Reality Host, and shares how you can achieve this glam look at home.

Amy’s Inspiration: Hayden sought a classic red lip to match her gorgeous J Mendel gown, so I looked to her Italian heritage, and her recent vacation in Italy, for inspiration and designed a look you’d find on glamorous women in Rome.

Prep: I believe in the old adage that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” so careful attention was paid to Hayden’s skincare prior to the Emmy’s. Hayden’s choice is skin iD, personalized acne system from Neutrogena Dermatologics

Eyes: To give Hayden’s lashes maximum impact I used three coats of the NEUTROGENA Healthy Volume Mascara in Carbon Black.

New York Fashion Spring 2010 Trend Report: Maria Grachvogel

The Show: Maria Grachvogel
Lead Artist: James Boehmer, NARS Cosmetics International Lead Makeup Artist
Trend: Bold Red Matte Lips and Strong Brows

Inspiration: Maria Grachvogel used iconic references of Princess Margaret as photographed by Lord Snowden and Tippi Hedren in “Marnie” to convey the mood of her collection in a modern way- polished yet glamorous.

Look: The look is polished and strong- inspired by a glamorous and modern twist of Hitchcock’s femme fatale. “This look is not about the glowing skin underneath- it’s about the makeup- the brows need to be long and sketchy and the lips need to be rounded and bee-stung,” said lead artist James Boehmer. A flat, matte lip paired with a strong brow was balanced by a bare eye. “The lip,” James warns, “has to be really rich and vibrant- the focus is getting that rich lip otherwise the look can appear as if something is lacking.”

Below are some key products and steps for recreating the look:

How To Get Vanessa Williams Makeup Look at the Emmy Awards 2009

At this year’s Emmy Awards, Vanessa Williams went for all-out glamour. She chose a dress with lots of color and her hair was down, long and loose, for the first time in three years. To balance out the look, legendary makeup artist Sam Fine focused on a flawless skin with a pop of color in the cheeks and lips.

“It all starts with great skin,” says Fine. “It’s a long night, with long hours and we don’t get to go with them. Foundation and powder are so important.” 

To get Vanessa’s great face, Sam started with cream foundation. “Cream foundation will last throughout the night,” states Sam. Next, he used bronzer to contour the face, drawing attention to each feature.

Vanessa’s dress made Fine to do a little shopping. “Because Vanessa’s dress choice was such a strong color, this forced me to re-address the neutrals I had in my kit,” admits Fine. “I wanted to go for a little more color in the cheek, as well as the lip, so I needed to find the perfect coral-pink shade, because true pink can be hard to wear.”
