NEW HOLLYWOOD ‘DOS

‘This is the season to get glamorous hair cues from iconic screen stars. At the Met Gala, Yara Shahidi’s loose locks matched Josephine Baker’s, while Billie Eilish’s voluminous hairstyle gave Marilyn Monroe a nod.

The retro wave on Eiza González at the Met Gala and Amanda Seyfried’s Oscars – both created by hairstylist Renato Campora – were inspired by Ava Gardner and Marion Davies, respectively.

For soft waves, Campora preps each section of hair with Schwarzkopf Osis + Grip mousse before rolling with T3 Volumizing Hot Rollers. After 30 minutes, he removed the roller, combed the curls, added sections and finished with Oribe Superfine hairspray. For holiday parties, Campora loves “a neat ponytail or a low bun… a messy bun is also very pretty.” His secret weapon for setting the look? Fekkai Full Blown Volume Dry Texturizing Spray.

CRIMSON LIPS

Deep pink lips are in season. Think Anya Taylor-Joy at the Emmys or González and Michael Jaé Rodriguez at the Met Gala. González makeup artist Jenna Kristina says, “For holiday makeup, I always recommend something that lasts a while. Maybelline New York Super Stay Liquid Lipstick, in cruise or pioneer, stays for 16 hours. Apply Pioneer layer in the center of the lips for a more almost ombré lip look. ” Georgie Eisdell – who used Dior Rouge’s “super moisturizing” Dior Forever Liquid lipstick in 999 on Anya Taylor-Joy at the Emmys – likes to wear lipstick first and primer second, “so I can create out a really sharp contour.”

To make the stain look lighter, Eisdell applied a natural lip liner first to stop bleeding, then “using a Q-tip or my finger, I applied lipstick in the center of my mouth and mixed it with my pinky finger. me – kiss you finger so it goes to the edges and stays on the lips, diffusing the color to the outer corners. Instead, she pencils her lips in red or plum under the Goop Beauty Goopgenes Lip Balm for color. But all that glitters isn’t good, she warns: “I don’t know who looks better with a metallic lip. Shiny lips, yes; glitter, no! ‘ Eisdell is also a fan of Chanel’s Rouge Allure Laque liquid lipstick in Iconique or Rouge Irregulier.

Polished EYES, BEAUTY MAKEUP

The celebratory vibe of sparkling, often gem-encrusted eye makeup (originally sparked by HBO Happiness). Makeup artist Grace Pae created Nas’ look using Face Lace patches.

“I just cut the corners from one corner and then covered the gold foil on top. You can easily achieve this with metallic liquid liners. Danessa Myricks has the best liquid and cream products for a powerful super metallic effect. ” Eisdell adds, “I would translate the crystals as a high shine eyeshadow with Pat McGrath gloss or a burgundy metallic liquid liner – for a ’70s feel, add colored lashes and lips burgundy monochrome, with warm cheeks.”

McGrath, who created Garner’s look using sparkling orchid shadows from her Mothership IX: Huetopian Dream palette, said before adding crystal wings in the corners, “This season is about the eyes being made. sparkling jewelry!”

HAIR DYNAMIC INSTALL

From sparkly headbands and headbands to crystals and pearls embedded directly in the hair, jewel-encrusted locks are party-ready.

At the Met Gala, Alicia Keys’ sleek bun and Saweetie’s slicked back bob were topped with Swarovski crystals. Hairstylist Nai’vasha placed individual Jennifer Behr crystals directly into Keys’ hair using “a little hold gel on top of my metal-tipped comb. You can also use eyelash gel. I do the ombré design, starting with bright crystals and fading to black crystals. It’s a chandelier bun! ” she speaks. Nai’vasha uses bungee ties to keep the bun smooth and tight, adding “the interesting factor is that the actual twist at the back isn’t perfect.” Single crystals can be purchased at most craft stores.

That same evening, Shahidi, Lorde and Emily Blunt appeared in headbands (Blunt is by custom Miu Miu), while Amanda Gorman wore a pair of sophisticated combs by Behr and Gigi Hadid to polish her ponytail. her tall with a barrette Prada studded with diamonds. . Nai’vasha says: “Thick headbands in gold, crystal or pearl have a glamorous, classic look. “I think hair accessories are going to be our biggest holiday trend!” Another option: Behr’s new set of 14 crystal-embellished Alicia hairpins.
