Blake Lively at the Emmy Awards 2009: Get The Look
Frederic Fekkai Celebrity Stylist Renato Campora tended to the tresses of Blake Lively for the 2009 Emmy Awards.
Inspiration: A goddess style updo inspired by the modernity and elegance of the red Versace gown.
How to get Blake Lively’s ponytail:
Renato Campora started out by applying Fekkai Coiff Strong Hold Volume Mousse onto wet hair. Next he blow-dried the hair smooth and applied the Fekkai Coiff Extra Control Styling Gel to prep the hair. He then teased all the hair and pulled it up into a high ponytail. By adding some hair extensions to the ponytail, he created extra length for a more dramatic look. Afterward, he braided the entire ponytail and fastened at the end. Campora finished by applying Fekkai Coiff Magnifique Ultra-Light Finishing Crème throughout the entire look for a smooth and sleek effect.
Blake Lively at the Emmy Awards 2009
Blake Lively seems to not get much love on Twitter this evening because of her dress and ponytail. I, on the other hand, think Blake looks absolutely stunning tonight. Everything about the look shows a trend setter, not a follower. The dress was low cut but her body type can pull it off perfectly. If you got it flaunt it. Isn’t what they say? It reminded me of the very famous JLO aka Jennifer Lopez moment few years ago when she stepped out in a low cut green Versace dress. Maybe this is Blakes’s moment as well! I just got back from New York Fashion Week Spring 2010 and one of the prominent hair tends and looks on the runway was a ponytail (Gottex and Alexander Wang had all over their shows!) Blake is ahead of her times with her Emmy Award 2009 look and that takes courage, a trait I so admire.

Lead stylist, Renato Campora for Fekkai-The Look For Marchesa:
Renato Campora, lead stylist for Frédéric Fekkai, created an ultra shiny and striking look for the Marchesa Spring 2010 show.

He then wrapped the ponytail into a tight bun. The look was completed with Fekkai Brilliant Glossing Cream for added shine and brilliance.
Sebastian Professional’s Perfect Pony at Michael Angel
New York Fashion Week Spring 2010 Report: Michael Angel spring ‘10 – September 10th Hair by Sebastian Professional
Inspiration: Taking inspiration from strong influential women like Nancy Cunard, Josephine Baker and Schiaparelli, Michael Angel directed a Spring ’10 beauty look that’s meant to replace the depressing, dark days of yore with a revived, empowered and reenergized youthfulness. A fresh, healthy “just come back from holiday” look subtly complements the collection’s energy-packed, color-rich and cool designs that Michael is famous for.
The Hair Look: To keep this ponytail from looking cold and severe, Sebastian Professional lead stylist Thomas Dunkin kept the crown soft and clean, allowing some of the hair’s natural texture free reign for a played-in feeling.
Here’s how to create your own perfect pony:
1) Apply Sebastian Professional Thickefy Foam to damp hair; blend evenly throughout
2) Blow hair out straight with a medium to large-sized round brush
3) Neatly brush hair back with a comb or flat brush and fasten with a hair tie just below eye level to avoid looking too “sporty”
4) Smooth the first half of the head with Shine Define for a shiny finish or apply Microweb Fiber to entice rogue wisps for a more lived-in look
5) Mist the length with Halo Mist and leave smooth and straight
Fall Hair Trends by ghd Ambassadors
Who is better to ask what’s hot when it comes to hair this fall other than the hair stylists who spend their time doing hair for the runway, ghd Ambassadors: Omar Lopez, Craig Carter, and Andy Bodine.
ghd Ambassadors Omar Lopez, Craig Carter, Andy Bodine, were kind enough to share with Talking Makeup their take on Fall Hair Trends:
From Omar Lopez, ghd Media Ambassador: Movement Is Back with Curling Just The Ends
Movement is back in, but this season, the focus is all on curling just the ends of the hair which is simple and sleek and easy to do. Prep the hair with ghd fat hair lotion and blowdry. The product is heat activated and works the same way mascara does on lashes, using rayon micro fibers to pump up each strand. Play up overall volume by applying from roots to ends, then follow with a little more on just the ends of the hair. This will plump up ends and allow for long lasting fat curls.

Use the ghd IV styler to straighten the length of the hair, then when you reach the ends, turn the styler 180 degrees to create a slight curl. Finally, use just your fingers to ruffle up the ends to create a slightly tousled look and you have one of the hottest looks for fall!
From Craig Carter, ghd Creative Ambassador: Sleek Straight Ponytails With Natural Shine
Sienna Miller Wearing CHANEL Beauté at the Tokyo premiere of G.I. Joe
Sienna Miller wearing CHANEL Beauté at the international premiere of G.I. Joe, Monday, July 27, 2009, Tokyo, Japan.
Get Sienna Miller’s Look: Sienna Miller’s makeup was done by Makeup Artist Kate Lee for CHANEL Beauté, and here is how to get the look:”For the Tokyo premiere Sienna wore a Gucci suit. Her hair was up and in a modern/ chignon type ponytail, so I decided to make the look more of a subtle version of Jerry Hall/ Helmut Newton by gently smoking out the eye with a mid grey matte shadow. Inside the eye I used CHANEL Intense Eye Pencil in Graphite to add intensity, and the silvery grey reflects the light. I wanted to balance the look without conflicting with her amazing suit. On the lids I used the grey shadow from the CHANEL Smoky Eyes Quad, with the CHANEL Eclat Lumiere in Beige Rosé as a base. On her lashes I used several coats of Exceptionnel de CHANEL Mascara. I sculpted the cheek bones with CHANEL Powder Blush in Fresque. Final touch… the lips were CHANEL Rouge Allure in Instinctive.”

Guido for Redken Fall/Winter 2008 Hair Trends
Taking Makeup is excited to bring to you Guido for Redken’s Fall/Winter 2008 hair trends straight from the runways at Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2008 NYC, Paris, Milan and London.
Guido designed and executed the hair at more than 30 shows including Marc Jacobs, Donna Karan, Versace and Louis Vuitton and has put together his top hair trends for the coming season inspired by the shows. Guido takes us to the back of the head, where we will be seeing knots, twists, ponytails with a spice of 1960s glam, 1920s sophistication and a touch of the future.
Guido-Hair Stylist for Redken.
A fresh take…”The back of the head is huge this season. We’re seeing knots, twists, ponytails-it’s a blend of 1980s glam, 1920s sophistication and a touch of the future.”
A glam finish…”We saw a lot of roughed-up, matte textures last season. Now, we’re moving on to styles with high shine. It’s a controlled look, a return to a woman who’s more demure-but at the same time she’s strong, confident and sexy.”
A streamlined silhouette…”This season, it’s all about minimalism. We’re seeing smaller, more subdued styles. Hair is pulled back close to the head and styled in a clean, simple way.”
-GUIDO
Here are Guido’s for Redken top four hair trends for the Fall/Winter 2008 season:
Intense Shine: High Gloss Looks With A Plasticized Finish: Shine returns to the runway in full force, after last season’s parade of ultra-matte textures. Hair stayed close to the scalp, in sedate slicked-back styles with a lacquered finish. As seen at: Alice Temperley, Calvin Klein, Christopher Kane, Halston, Jonathan Saunders, Kisa, Lanvin, Miu Miu, Prada, and Pringle.
TIPS:
1. To get the slick finish seen at Prada: Blow-dry hair straight, then smooth hardwear 16 super strong gel from roots to ends (applying gel to dry hair creates a lacquered effect). Pull hair into a bun and apply glass 01 smoothing serum for extra sleekness.
2. For a blow-dry with extreme shine, mist on forceful 23 super strength finishing spray section-by-section and blow-dry hair with a Mason Pearson brush. Reapply the spray to your finished style for a sleek, plasticized effect.
3. Finish any style with a mist of vinyl glam 02 mega shine spray-it adds extreme shine without weighing down fine hair.
