DIY Tips and Tricks for Red Carpet Beauty from the Golden Globes

Smoky Metallic Cat Eye

Emma Stone’s charcoal and silver colors really accented her wardrobe beautifully, and this look also helped to separate her from the majority who mostly wore nude eye makeup with black eyeliner. Achieve Emma’s look: Don’t be afraid to try metallic’s for the eyes and get ready to make a striking impact. The smoky eye is a trend that keeps reinventing itself as it’s synonymous with a sexy beautiful look sought after, season to season. This season, the traditional smoky eye gets a makeover with a pop of silver for a more elegantlook. If you love the idea of a cat eye but can’t fully commit to such a bold statement, try this new take - liner across your top lid that ends in a sharp angle out towards your temple, with no other makeup except a sheer pink lip. This look still makes a statement but it is subtler than the original thick–winged line. To get this look apply a precision tip liner, like the New Sue Devitt Defining Eyeliner, along thelash line extending the line just slightly further than usual. For a more defined effect apply the liner around the rim of the eye as well.

Bronze Shadow

Smoky eyes are a red carpet staple these days, and we saw the look in every color, finish, and smokiness.  Freida Pinto’s bronze shadow and black liner combination which was a real head turner.
Achieve a look like Freida’s by using the Illuminating Eye Shadow Quad in Icelandic Fjord. Begin by applying the Nordic Nude shade all over the eyelid with the Sue Devitt Eye Base Brush.
Sue’s Secret Tip: Hold the brush upside down as you apply as this allows the pigment to get deep into the lash line and build the color upward and outward toward the eyebrow and temple.
Next, use the Refined Eye Base Brush to apply the Deep Moss Shimmer shade only to the eyelid to create desired depth. Again, hold the brush upside down and apply this darker color along the lash line, at the base of the lid, and deep into the lashes. Work the color upwards, grading into the base color as you move upward towards the crease. Finish the look by applying defining Eyeliner in Vik generously along the lash line, and around the rim of the eye for added definition.

For Ashley Greene’s Seductive Long Waves, begin with clean towel dried hair. Twist 1″ sections of hair away from your face going all around your head and apply a curl enhancing cream like the Shu Uemura Kaze Wave and air dry or diffuse until 90% dry. Apply a heat protecting spray like the Kerastase Fibre Architecte to protect hair from the heat of the iron and create a shinier look. Using a 1” wide curling iron, grab 1″ random vertical sections of hair and wrap around barrel and curl away from your face.Run your hands through when done for separation. Finish with a medium hold hair spray like Shu Uemura’s Sheer Lacquer.

To get Ashley Benson’s Textured Waves, begin with clean towel dried hair. Wrap hair in towel to remove excess water and to start creating texture. Use a light pomade such as Magic Move Light and twist random sections of hair to create more texture. Use a blow dryer to set each section by twisting and applying heat at the same time. If needed, use a clipless curling iron about 3/4″-1″ to set in waves by wrapping sections around the barrel away from face and when releasing each piece pulling on it to make more of a stretched out wave.

To give yourself a red carpet ready manicure at home in minutes follow these easy steps from celeb manicurist, Skyy Hadley.

1. Remove any nail polish and wash your hands. Always start a manicure with clean hands.
2. File your nails. I recommend squoval shaped nails for the winter. Start with the square shape and tilt the file underneath the corners and file back and forth from the underneath up. This will gradually round out the edges. If your nails are too square during cold winter months they can crack and break easily.
3. Lightly buff your nails to remove any ridges.
4. Rub a cuticle oil or cream on your cuticles, you can use olive oil or Vaseline if you don’t have cuticle oil, and push your cuticles back with a cuticle pusher. This will lengthen your nail and give a clean look.
5. Apply a thin layer of base coat to all nails.
6. Apply two even coats of pale pink or nude polish to your nails.
7. Always finish with a layer of clear top coat to extend the life of your manicure and give it that professional shine.
