2015 Golden Globes Best of Beauty

Emma-Stone

Emma Stone looked young, fresh and chic with her short bob and pretty makeup.  Inspired by Emma’s playful Lanvin jumpsuit, celebrity makeup artist, Rachel Goodwin, created a bold look that focused on both a red lip and smoky eye.

“With Emma’s look, we really went fun, coquettish and flirtatious. She wore a jumpsuit with sparkles, not your typical red carpet look. She looked so at home in it. For her makeup, we focused on both eyes and lips, which isn’t the norm — but we wanted something modern and ultra-feminine, not too serious.”

Goodwin used the following products for Emma’s red carpet look:

LIPS

FACE

EYES

HAIR

Mara Roszak, L’Oréal Paris Celebrity Hairstylist, says her inspiration was Emma’s custom Lanvin jumpsuit.  This completely unexpected look was one of Mara’s all-time favorites and inspired the modern, naturally tousled but not overdone hair look that ensued.

 

STEP 1: To prep, Mara applied L’Oréal Paris EverStyle Texture Series Tousle Crème to hair for texture

 

STEP 2: Next, Mara rough dried the hair until almost dry and then spritzed L’Oréal Paris Advanced Hairstyle Txt it Tousle Waves Spray and continued to rough dry completely

STEP 3: With a medium sized round brush, Mara smoothed out the front pieces for a more polished look

STEP 4: With the ghd Classic Wave Wand, Mara took random sections around the head, about 1″ thick, and wrapped them around the barrel. Due to its oval shape, this iron gives the hair a more effortless looking wave

STEP 5: To break up the style and add a slight volume and texture, Mara sprayed L’Oréal Paris Advanced Hairstyle Blow Dry It Longwear Spray

STEP 6: For an added touch, Mara placed a modern silver bar hair accessory by the French designer, Hair Designaccess to the back of Emma’s hair

STEP 7: To finish the look, Mara sprayed L’Oréal Paris Advanced Hairstyle Lock It Weather Control Hairspray to withstand the unexpected rainy LA weather

Taylor-Schilling

I love the subtle eye and bold lip on Orange Is The New Black star Taylor Schilling.  NARS worked with celebrity makeup artist Tina Turnbow to create the red carpet makeup look for Taylor Schilling at the 2015 Golden Globe Awards.

Beauty Inspiration: “The inspiration for Taylor’s look was a younger, modern take on Grace Kelly. I wanted to play up her bone structure, her skin and her natural beauty so we went with a clean eye, bold brow and a crisp orange red lip to clash with the scarlet shade of her Ralph Lauren gown.”

Products used on Taylor:
