Get the Look: Jennifer Lopez at the 82nd Academy Awards

Jennifer Lopez was another favorite on the Red Carpet at last night's 82nd Academy Awards in a pale pink Armani Prive gown and jewels by Cartier.  Adrian Wallace of the Rita Hazan Salon worked his magic in advance-- softening the color on her roots and adding toner to her ends to give her hair a golden luster, evident in the up-do she wore on the Red Carpet.

Get the Look: Sandra Bullock at the 82nd Academy Awards

Watching last night's 82nd Annual Academy Awards, I thought one of the best dressed women on the Red Carpet was newly-minted Best Actress Sandra Bullock. She looked every inch the star in her metallic Marchesa dress, hitting on two key trends of the night:  metallic fabrics and a bold, red lip. 

Makeup Artist Angela Levin for Chanel created Sandra Bullock's look:

Get the Look: Rachel Weisz at The Lovely Bones Premiere

CHANEL Celebrity Makeup Artist Kara Yoshimoto Bua created a classic Hollywood look for Rachel Weisz for the premiere of The Lovely Bones on Monday, December 7, 2009.  Kara went for a red lip using  Rouge Allure Laque, which is a perfect choice for the Red Carpet, because the formula is densely pigmented and photographs well.  Kara also utilized the Murano Quadra Eye Shadow from the Fall Venice Makeup Collection.

"I was inspired by the colour of Rachel's dress which was calling out for a perfectly red lip! I chose the semi-matte CHANEL Rouge Allure Laque in Dragon. I love this shade because it is a very pigmented blue true red, perfect with Rachel's fair skin, and can be worn very sheer yet give vivid colour.

I wanted shimmery soft eyes to be tonal with the colour of the dress so a not to compete with the lips. CHANEL Quadra Eye Shadow in Murano has the most beautiful greenish-grey shimmers that accent Rachel's dark hair and brown eyes. CHANEL Blush Duo Tweed Effect in Tweed Rose gives her a soft hint of colour in the apples of her cheeks. Finally, CHANEL Inimitable Mascara in Noir-Black opens up her  eyes by lengthening and separating her already thick lashes without any clumps!"

Get the Look: Christina Applegate at the Emmys!

Makeup Artist Joanna Schlip was inspired by Christina’s dramatic, sweeping gown when creating her makeup look for the 61st Primetime Emmy's.  The vintage glamour of Christina's navy dress by Basil Soda called for simple makeup that still made a statement. With her hair pulled back in a chic chignon, Joanna was able to play up Christina’s eyes with a sexy retro smolder, while keeping her skin fresh and lips softly pink. 

It seemed like the smokey eye/nude lip was everywhere on the red carpet last night.  Joanna shares her tips on how we can recreate this look at home:

• Skincare: To create a radiant glow, Joanna cleansed with Clarins Water Comfort One Step Cleanser. She then applied Clarins Multi-Active Day moisturizer, followed with Clarins Beauty Flash Balm for smooth, hydrated, radiant skin.

• Face: Since Christina has naturally beautiful skin, Joanna kept her face mostly bare with a light wash of Clarins True Radiance Foundation. She finished with a dusting of Clarins Loose Powder in Translucent.

Primetime Emmy Style with Stylist Phillip Bloch

I had the opportunity to interview Phillip Bloch, stylist to some of Hollywood's biggest stars, about what we might to see on tonight's Red Carpet at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards. 

According to Phillip, he expects to see color in the form of hot pink, citrus green and lemon yellow dresses on the red carpet.  One way that we can incorporate that look into our own daily style would be to use pops of color as accents with our accessories.  Animal prints are another major trend right now and the way to wear them is in a belt, shoe or purse. 

Fitted silhouettes with flowing skirts are another trend and Phillip advises that celebrities will be wearing shapewear to hide lumps and bumps. He recommends Flexees Fat Free Dressing shapeware. 

Makeup for the Emmy's will be very natural looking and matte--similar to what I saw at Fashion Week for Spring 2010.  Phillip expects hair to be more natural, too and not about the elaborate up-dos we've seen in the past.

I'll be watching (and Twittering) the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards tonight on CBS to find out if Phillip is right!
