Redken Creative Consultant Guido cut each models’ bangs into a very extreme, short fringe that hit mid-forehead for the Fall 2012 Versace show in Milan yesterday, Feb 24, 2012.

Versace Fall 2012

“The Versace girl is very rock ‘n’ roll, very cool and very Donatella. It’s a very strong look that compliments the collection. It’s a shaggy sort of texture which makes it a younger look, and a lot less blown out than we’ve seen in past seasons.”–Guido, Redken Creative Consultant

The woman Guido envisioned when collaborating with Donatella Versace to create the look was strong, sexy, powerful and determined – a woman who knows what she wants. The collection itself was darker than usual, making Guido’s daring, modern hairstyle the perfect match.

Redken Products:

-wool shake 08 gel slush texturizer

-powder refresh 01 aerosol hair powder/dry shampoo (launches in salons March 1st)

-fashion work 12 versatile working spray

How To Get This Runaway Hairstyle:

Blow-dry bangs* straight with a round brush (to give them some movement).

Apply wool shake 08 to damp hair and blow-dry with fingers to give the hair a “rock ‘n’ roll” texture.

Apply powder refresh 01 all over dry hair to make the overall feel and texture more matte (“a little bit more dusty”) and give the hair more dimension.

Finish with fashion work 12 on the ends.

*Bangs cut to mid-forehead with a very sharp finish. Models were fitted with extensions before the bangs were trimmed for the show.

Gita Bass for Votre Vu created Best Actress in a Comedy Nominee Tina Fey’s classic look for the 2012 SAG Awards tonight, using Votre Vu Skincare and Makeup.

Tina Fey’s makeup

“We were inspired by Tina’s black strapless Versace gown. We wanted her look to be equally classic and sexy,” says Gita.

Gita started by spritzing the face with Votre Vu Amour D’Ore Multi-Vitamin Oil for Face, Body and Hair. “It adds long-lasting hydration, primes for makeup and gives the complexion a gorgeous glow,” she says. Next, she applied Votre Vu Tragic Magic Rescue Creme to soothe and eliminate any redness.

To create the appearance of a smooth and bright eye area, Gita patted on Votre Vu Tout le Monde Antioxidant Eye Gelee and layered Votre Vu SpecialEyes Intensive Eye Treatment on top. She then brushed on Votre Vu WonderBrows in Eva to add definition to Tina’s natural arch.

Next, she used Votre Vu Sensational Eyes Eye Primer in Medium on the lids as a budge-proof eye makeup base. To prep her lips for color, Gita dabbed on the moisturizing Votre Vu Champagne Kisses Volume Enhancing Lip Balm.

Since Tina’s look shows a bit of skin, Gita generously applied the nourishing Votre Vu Snapdragon Antioxidant-Rich Citrus Body Drench all over. She followed up by spritizing Votre Vu Amour D’Ore Multi-Vitamin Oil for Face, Body and Hair on her decolletage and shoulders for an added sheen.

Finally, to set the look and create a radiant finish, Gita dusted on Votre Vu Mineral Powder in Light. “I also made Tina put the powder in her clutch so she can do touch-ups throughout the night” said Gita.

The Versace NEW Yellow Diamond perfume package is very Versace and very cool. The perfume itself is bright, fruity floral, with woody musk dry down. I can see myself taking it with me on a sunny vacation. I love everything about the bottle and packaging and the perfume is daytime for me and wearable.

“The yellow colour recalls the brightness, sensuality and great energy of this fragrance, able to depict and emphasize charm and femininity of a woman”-Donatella Versace

Yellow Diamond The New Fragrance by Versace

The Fragrance

Versace Yellow Diamond opens with the crysalline luminosity of citron from Diamante, blended with fresh pear sorbet and sparkling notes of bergamot and neroli. The radiant top notes unfold to reveal a crisp heart of orange blossom, freesia, mimosa and nymphea, grounded in sensual dry notes of ambery woods, palo santo wood and refined musk.

The unique bottle is housed in a yellow box patterned with a vintage Versace Baroque, giving the box an antique feel.

Yellow Diamond was developed by perfumer Alberto Morillas.

Where to buy: Macy’s, Bloomingdales, Dillard’s, Lord & Taylor, Nordstrom’s and Sephora stores.

Continuing Milan Fashion Week, Redken Creative Consultant Guido created an effortlessly sophisticated low airy ponytail, nodding to the 60s, at the Gianfranco Ferre show. “This is an ultra flattering look on any woman in an almost sporty kind of way.

At the Fall/Winter Versace show, Guido created a super straight, center parted, minimal hair look to complement the Collection. “The Versace look this season is without reference but still looks rich and elegant without being “done. It’s very minimal but also very rich at the same time and it’s nice to see straight ironed down looks that is still controlled.”

Hilary Swank at the 17th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards Hair by Robert Vetica and Moroccanoil. “Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role” nominee and award presenter Hilary Swank wore her hair long, loose and sexy for the SAG Awards tonight. Wearing a soft, champagne-colored Versace gown, she looked red-carpet perfect.

Hilary Swank hair by Robert Vetica and Moroccanoil

The “Conviction” actress’ gorgeous hair was designed by leading Hollywood stylist, Robert Vetica, who was inspired by the sensual lines of her dress and the hairstyles of iconic 60’s Hollywood siren and Bond girl, Ursula Andress.

Vetica shared how he created the beautiful look:

“Istarted by blow-drying Hilary’s hair using Moroccanoil® Treatment to instantly condition, bring any dry ends back to life and make her hair easier to style. It also gave the hair a brilliant, natural-looking shine.

After the hair was dried, I did a full head set by curling 1” by 1” sections of hair, starting at the nape of the neck, then pinned to the head. These were real,full base curls, not spiral curls. I continued section by section until I reached the crown, then finished the sides and top of the head. When I finished, it had the look of a 60’s roller set, which could have been done using hot rollers.

I gave the set a good spray of Moroccanoil® Luminous Hairspray and let it sit for 20 minutes, to insure a good, healthy-looking set.

Tofinish, I removed the set and gave it a good brushing. Next, I took a smallamount of Moroccanoil® Hydrating Styling Cream to give the hair a touch of weight and ensure body.

I then gave the hair a good backcombing at the root and sprayed again. I brushed out most of the backcombing except at the crown, running my fingers through thehair to loosen it up. I then backcombed a bit more at the crown, gave it another spray and lightly brushed over the top.

Products used to achieve Hilary Swank’s look:
