Katharine McPhee is definitely looking different these days. I call it “The Hollywood Transformation”. First thing you do is dye your hair blonde! Think Marilyn Monroe, Madonna, Lady Gaga, Gwen Stefani, even Lindsay Lohan. Blonde seems to be the ultimate Old Hollywood glamour symbol. And I love how Katharine McPhee waves her hand to fans, very regal or very Hollywood. Even the hairdo is similar to Marilyn Monroe’s: short wavy bob parted to the side. To finish the look: add red lipstick. I approve Katharine McPhee’s new hair color. The questions is: Do you?

Do you see any similarities between Katharine McPhee and Marilyn Monroe’s hair and makeup?

Celebrity Makeup Artist Amy Oresman created NEUTROGENA brand ambassador Hayden Panettiere’s look for the 2009 Teen Choice Awards and now she shares how you can achieve Hayden’s gorgeous look at home:

Amy’s Inspiration: “It’s a sensational, wearable summer style that delivers a polished, unfussy look that’s still Hollywood glamorous. I call it Marilyn Monroe at the beach.”

Prep: Since the entire show was outside this year I choose a lightweight moisturizer with SPF protection. I prepped Hayden’s skin for makeup with the NEUTROGENA Healthy Defense SPF 45 Daily Moisturizer.

Eyes: For Hayden’s sultry and smoky eyes I choose the NEUTROGENA  Nourishing Eye Quad in Butter Crème. I covered her entire the lid with the quad’s lightest shade and then swept the deeper shades into the crease of Hayden’s upper lid and just under the bottom lash line.

To accent the look I used the two deepest shades of the NEUTROGENA Nourishing Eye Quad in Moonlit Violet to accent the outer corners of her lash line. I finished the look with three coats of the NEUTROGENA Healthy Volume Mascara in Carbon Black.

Face: To create a flawless but still dewy complexion I started with the NEUTROGENA Mineral Sheers Liquid Makeup. The coverage is amazing and a tiny bit goes a long way. For the sheerest coverage try mixing it with equal parts moisturizer.

To highlight Hayden’s beautiful features I choose the NEUTROGENA Skin Soothing Eye Tint in Petal Shimmer. I brushed it in a half moon shape from Hayden’s brow to cheek to give her a glow.

I finished by dusting the apples of Hayden’s cheeks with NEUTROGENA Healthy Skin Blends Natural Radiance Bronzer in Sunkissed and NEUTROGENA Healthy Skin Blends Sheer Highlighting Blush. Both products are super sheer so you can layer them without over doing it.

Lips: To keep Hayden’s lips understated I skipped lip liner and applied one coat of NEUTROGENA Moistureshine Lip Sheers in Spring Blossom. Next I dabbed NEUTROGENA Moistureshine Gloss in Groove in the center of her bottom lip. To finish the look I had Hayden gently press her lips together to subtly accentuate the center of her lip, making them look super plump.

Scarlett Johansson’s Summer Red Carpet Looks by David Babaii.

Celebrity hairstylist David Babaii recently coiffed his client Scarlett Johansson for a few summer Red Carpet Events, creating some dramatic variations to her long strawberry blonde locks.

Scarlett Johansson at Comic-Con 2009: To achieve this curly, wavy, sexy look for Scarlett Johansson’s appearance at Comic-Con 2009, celebrity hairstylist David Babaii applied his Amplifying Whipped Mousse from roots to ends. This gives just the right amount of volume and hold to her strawberry blonde hair.

Next, he rough dried her tresses by using his hands, moving the hair in various directions. Once dry, he sectioned her hair into 3 different parts: top, sides and back leaving the nape area free. This is one of David’s most important styling tips, since you need to have constant control over the hair at all times. To create his famous wavy curls, he used a 1 ½” sized FHI Heat Ceramic Curling Iron.

To style, he took small “V” shaped strands and wrapped them around the inside of the barrel. Then, David allowed each curl to fall naturally. Through selected strands, he ran his fingers up the partially curled strand to achieve added volume. For additional lift at the scalp area, he sprayed Volcanic Ash Root Amplifier on his finger tips and applied to the root area by roughly massaging into the area. This adds added fullness and texture. To complete, he sprayed Mise en Plis Light Styling Spray.

David Babaii’s inspiration for Scarlett Johansson’s style was a 40’s Marilyn Monroe look with the illusion of a chin length “bob” without cutting any hair!

After drying her locks with Hair Polish applied to damp hair, David divided her tresses into 3 sections: top with a side part, sides and back leaving the nape area free. To create these large barrel sized curls, he took alternating “V” shaped partings to avoid any part lines from showing through. David used a 1 ½ inch FHI Heat Ceramic Curling Iron throughout her entire head. The sides and back curls were pinned into various sized looped curls giving the illusion of a short “bob”. On the top, he gently brushed her hair to one side forming soft waves. For added glamour, David brushed back one side and secured with a decorative hair pin. For hold, David used his Mise en Plis Light Styling Spray for a soft long lasting hold.
