Awards season may have passed, but the gorgeous looks from the red carpet are timeless. There were so many gorgeous trends this year and with everything from hair to makeup, glamour was the statement of the season! Hair was no exception with some of the best looks happening on the hottest stars. Of course, the creative team at Moroccanoil made every effort to project nothing but perfection. Here is the scoop on the looks the created for some of the celebs at the Oscars:






 




Film star Nicole Kidman looked dazzling on the Oscar Red Carpet, wearing a shimmering black and gold L’Wren Scott gown and an elegant hair look designed by celebrity stylist Mara Roszak for Moroccanoil®.

“Nicole’s look was very glamorous, and I wanted to go with a textured updo that was a bit tousled,” said Mara Roszak.  Hair was parted in the middle, with a loose chignon pulled to one side, and pieces falling forward to frame the face.

How The Look Was Created

• "I first applied a bit of Moroccanoil Treatment Light for shine and smoothness, starting at the ends.

• "I scrunched in a bit of Moroccanoil Curl Control Mousse, worked it through the roots, and blow dried her hair using a small round brush to hold in body and texture.

• "To define the texture and highlight movement and wave, I touched the hair up on the sides and top with a 1” curing iron, taking random sections so that the waves were not too perfect and looked more natural.
   
• "Next, I loosely gathered and pulled hair to the side, twisted it and created a loose bun shape, adding bobby pins as I went to hold it in place.
   
• "Once the bun was made, I sprayed on Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray Medium, mostly on the bun, and let certain pieces fall out in front of ear and toward the face, then lightly sprayed the entire look.

Amy Adams looked absolutely breathtaking in a spectacular pale blue Oscar de la Renta ball gown with hair designed by celebrity stylist Laini Reeves for Moroccanoil.

Her beautiful hair look blended a touch of 50’s glamour with a modern textural edge that flawlessly complemented the couture gown. “I was inspired by the detailing of the amazing design Amy wore,” said Laini Reeves. “The hair shape is classic. However, I made the texture a little more tousled, created a crown with a little bit of a backcomb that didn’t look too stiff or perfect, and swept her hair back into a messy modern chignon.”


How The Look Was Created

• I started with Moroccanoil Extra Volume Shampoo followed with Moroccanoil Moisture Repair Conditioner. I applied Moroccanoil Treatment Light on the ends to smooth and control them when I was ready to create the chignon.
   
• Next, I used Moroccanoil Volumizing Mousse and blow dried the hair, keeping the hair moving upwards at the roots for as much lift as possible.
   
• I then set hair with large size sponge rollers to create texture, spraying each section with Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray Strong before rolling. After giving the entire set another spray, I left them in for half an hour.
   
• After I removed the rollers, I gently finger-brushed the hair, then used a backcombing brush to create padding at the roots, especially at the crown.
   
• I brought back all the hair and tied it into a loose ponytail at the nape of the neck (about 2” away from the scalp), then pushed it back to the nape and up to create a nice high crown.
   
• To complete the look, I gently backcombed the ponytail and sprayed it with Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray Strong.  I then rolled it into a messy chignon, letting a bit of the backcombing show, and pinned it in place.

Kerry Washington, the beautiful star of Django Unchained, made a glittering Oscar red carpet entrance wearing a glamorous coral Miu Miu gown and hair designed by celebrity stylist Takisha Sturdivant-Drew for Moroccanoil.

“When I saw the amazing goddess gown that Kerry was wearing, I knew that her hair had to be long and classic,” said Takisha Sturdivant-Drew. To complement the elegant design, Sturdivant-Drew highlighted volume and movement in the hair look, letting it flow down and behind the shoulders. She also added touch of fullness at the sides, and flattering height at the crown to emphasize a soft modern mood.

How The Look Was Created

• "I first shampooed Kerry’s hair with Moroccanoil Extra Volume Shampoo and Moroccanoil Extra Volume Conditioner."
   
• "Next, I added Moroccanoil Volumizing Mousse to large sections for soft volume, emphasizing the root area.  Since Kerry’s hair is naturally curly, we straightened it first by blow drying with a comb attachment.  I then went back and blow dried different sections of the hair for added volume at the root."
   
• "Using a 1½ “ curling iron, I created large, loose S-waved sections, starting at the nape and working up to sides and top."
   
• "After sectioning off the top and back of the hair, I teased the crown and sides for lift and volume, then combed over the hair lightly and brought it back down."
   
• "To hold the style without any stiffness, I sprayed on Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray Strong from about 3” away. This product works really well for this look because it’s so lightweight, won’t flake, and it holds the hair while allowing it to move."

Zoe Saldana made a dramatic entrance on the Oscar red carpet wearing an elegant Alexis Mabille gown, and hair designed by celebrity stylist Mara Roszak for Moroccanoil.

“The dress was very modern, and I wanted to create a simple hair look that had a chic, French feel to it, and to look clean, healthy and beautiful,” said Mara Roszak. The look had a glamorous and feminine 30’s mood, further softened into a loose wave and parted to the side.

How The Look Was Created

• "I started by applying Moroccanoil Treatment to wet hair for a beautiful, natural looking shine, and then blow-dried."
   
• "Next, I parted the hair to one side, then waved it with 1.5" barrel iron, working away from her face."
   
• "After the hair was waved, I brushed it out lightly with a Moroccanoil XLPRO Paddle Brush, then tucked it behind her ears since I wanted it to keep it behind her shoulders."
   
• "I then sprayed the entire look with Moroccanoil Glimmer Shine Spray for even more shine."
   
• "To finish, I sprayed with Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray Medium for a hold that looked soft, natural and let the hair move."

For the LA Premiere of "Oz The Great and Powerful", Laura Mercier did the look for both Michelle Williams and Mila Kunis. They both portray beautiful witches in the film and definitely made a statement on the red carpet of the premiere as well. Here is all the info on their gorgeous looks:









Makeup artist Sabrina Bedrani created a “chic yet sexy” makeup look for Williams, who stars in the upcoming movie, “OZ the Great and Powerful.” Bedrani drew inspiration for the look from the star’s white, embellished Prada dress, which also featured an unexpected thigh-high slit down the side. Noted Bedrani,”I loved this look for Michelle. It’s sophisticated, yet still youthful. It complemented her hair style and dress nicely.”

• Bedrani used a combination of Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colours to create the sultry eye look. First, she applied Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour in Cocoa ($24) all over the lid and along the bottom lash line. 
• Then, she used a brush to swipe Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour in Khaki ($24) onto the top and bottom of the outer corner of her eyes to add depth.  She blended the shade outward to “extend the eye and give it a cat-eye effect.”  She applied Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour in Rose Gold ($24) onto the inner corners to brighten the look.
• Next, she defined Williams’ eyes by applying Laura Mercier Crème Eye Liner in Noir ($22) onto the lash line.   
• Then, she filled in Williams’ eyebrows using Laura Mercier Eye Brow Pencil in Fair Blonde ($20) and used Laura Mercier Eye Brow Gel ($20) to define the shape.  
• Bedrani added the final touch of glamour by applying multiple coats of Laura Mercier Faux Lash Mascara ($24) to Williams’ top and bottom lashes. 

• First Bedrani applied Laura Mercier Silk Crème Foundation in Cream Ivory ($43) to even out Williams’ skin. 
• She then used Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage in SC-1 ($30) to conceal any little imperfections. 
• Next, she dusted Laura Mercier Loose Setting Powder ($35) all over her skin to set the look.
• Then, Bedrani applied Laura Mercier Second Skin Cheek Colour in Rose Bloom ($24) to the star’s cheeks.   

• Bedrani “dabbed a little” Laura Mercier Lip Stain in Shy Pink ($20) onto Willaims’ lips.
• She finished the glamorous look by layering Laura Mercier Lip Glacé in Bare Pink ($24) on top.   

• Levy applied Laura Mercier Eye Canvas in EC-2 ($26) to ensure that Kunis’ eye makeup would last the entire evening. 
• Next, she contoured her eye crease lightly with Laura Mercier Matte Eye Colour in Café au Lait ($23) for a bit of depth. 
• Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour in Rose Gold ($24) was used as a highlight on the lids.
• Levy then used Laura Mercier Crème Eye Liner in Noir and Violet ($22) to line Kunis’ eyes “for a bit of drama.”  She also applied Laura Mercier Tightline Cake Eye liner in Black Ebony ($23) along the lash line. 
• Next, she filled in Kunis’ eyebrows with Laura Mercier Eye Brow Pencil in Deep Blonde ($20) and set them with Laura Mercier Eye Brow Gel ($20).   
• Levy added the final touch of by applying two coats of Laura Mercier Faux Lash Mascara ($24) to Kunis’ top and bottom lashes. 

·         She completed the look with a swipe of Laura Mercier Lip Glacé in Sparkling ($24).

Awards season may be over, but the looks are timeless!!! So I wanted to do a series of posts featuring some of my fav looks from awards season and the brands that helped to create them. Premios Lo Nuestro is one of the hottest awards shows honoring hispanic/latin artists and celebrating their music. At the event, their is a high profile red carpet with some of the biggest names in the industry participating. One of my all time fav looks was featured on the gorgeous latin soap star, Maite Perroni. She looked flawless in a long, silver gown with sleek, flowing hair. As a spokesperson for Pantene's beautiful lengths collection, she has the most beautiful hair and it made a statement at this event. Here is the scoop on how she got the look:



(Miami, FL) – February 21, 2013 -- The top Latino artists in entertainment gathered at the American Airlines Arena in downtown Miami, Florida for Univision’s annual prestige awards, Premio Lo Nuestro. Amongst these stars was the beautiful actress/singer Maite Perroni, advocate of Pantene’s Beautiful Lengths program. Maite Perroni walked the red carpet to ‘Best Dressed’ reviews and also presented the Tropical Merengue category award. Maite is currently working on her next album in NYC and she definitely loves merengue! Maite’s beauty glam look was created by Gabriel Samra, celebrity hairstylist for Pantene. Gabriel used our new Pantene Pro-V Stylers Collection, as endorsed by Danilo (top global hairstylist). As soon as Maite walked the red carpet she instantly became a global trending topic on Twitter.




·         Celebrity hairstylist Gabriel Samra tells us how to get Maite Perroni’s trend-setting hair look at  Premio Lo Nuestro in three simple steps.
·         Inspiration: “Maite always makes heads turn when she gets to the red carpet and for me it is great to work with such beautiful healthy hair. For tonight, we decided to leave behind the wavy hair look and go with a smooth and sophisticated straight hair look that makes a bold statement and is the perfect complement to her sexy metallic dress. What is most exciting about this look is  that it sets the tone and anticipates the upcoming trends for Fall 2013,” said Gabriel.
