Zooey Deschanel Goes Hollywood Glam for hair and nails at 64th Emmy Awards

For the Emmy Awards, Zooey Deschanel’s powder blue Reem Acra gown was the inspiration for her Old Hollywood updo created by Stylist Mara Roszak. “We both decided her hair should be up and off the neck,” Roszack said, “keeping the hair soft, feminine and elegant.”

Get this look at home!

  • Mara started by applying the Pantene Normal to Thick Flowing Body Mousse to Zooey’s damp hair.
  • She then blew out Zooey’s hair with a boar bristle brush and set it in rollers for extra volume.
  • To begin the styling process, Mara sprayed Pantene Fine Hair Style Touchable Volume Hairspray all over to help set the hair.
  • Mara removed the rollers, and then gently brushed the hair out.
  • For visual interest, Mara used a fine tooth comb to create a 60’s inspired bump at the crown of Zooey’s head.
  • The style went full-on glam when Mara pulled the hair back into a mid-height ponytail and pinned the ends under, creating a tucked chignon.
  • To finish off the look Mara sprayed Pantene Normal to Thick Anti Humidity Hairspray all over for extra hold throughout the night.

 

Zooey also continued to channel her inner nail goddess by complementing her Old Hollywood look with retro televisions and a light smattering of Swarovski stars on her digits. Hunk o’ burning love celeb manicurist Tom Bachik created the peach look as Deschanel  “…wanted to keep this look soft and fresh but sparkly.”

Get this look at home!

  • Start by applying a thin yellow coat of L’Oreal Paris Colour Riche Nail in Tweet Me
  • Add a coat of L’Oreal Paris Colour Riche Nail in Sweet Nothings
  • Chunky silver metallic shade on random areas of the nails will create a glittery fade-out; add Swarovski crystals in the glitter
  • Finish with hand-painted nail art

Revlon Global Artistic Director, Gucci Westman Created Natural Beauty for J Mendel: s2013 Fashion Week

Revlon Global Artistic Director, Gucci Westman, celebrated girlish, natural beauty with matte brown eyes and nude lips for J Mendel’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection.

“I wanted to create a look that is universally beautiful, that any girl would want to wear.” says Westman. “Because the collection has so many bold and bright colors and patterns, I kept it pretty simple and fresh. I started with a muted brown shadow on the eyes, lined the inner rim, then added mascara to both the top and bottom lashes to make the eyes pop. A warm flush of peach on the cheeks and a simple glossy lip rounded out the look.”

For a classic meets modern look, celebrity manicurist, Jin Soon Choi chose a timeless nude color for the hands and paired it with something more unexpected and fun on the toes. Choi used bright red, purple and pink on the toes, depending on the model.

Vera Wang runway features hair by Fekkai/Paul Hanlon s 2013 Fashion Week

This is the signature Paul Hanlon.
It looks like spun sugar to me!

Paul Hanlon created a very dry, fabric like texture to build a turban inspired up-do for the Vera Wang show this season. The style is a poetic take on weathered hair.
Get this look at home:

  • Prep the hair by heavily applying Fekkai Strong Hold Volume Mousse throughout the hair.
  • Power dry the hair until it is completely dry and then brush it out.
  •  Starting at the back of the head and take a section of the hair and backcomb it from the roots to ends.
  • Spray the section with Fekkai Sheer Hold Hairspray then run a straightening iron through it and brush through. Repeat this process section by section over the entire head.
  • Flip your hair forward and lightly brush it from the nape of your neck to the ends.
  • While the hair is still flipped, split it into two sections. Cross the two sections of hair over each other at the front of the head.
  • Put your head upright and and wrap the sections around your head, pinning them down as you wrap. The pins can be roughly placed with your hands in various places to give the look a raw/savage look.
  • Once the hair is pinned around, go through and pull some pieces towards the back of the head and down.
  • Finish the look by pulling a few strands out towards the back with your hands and spray thoroughly with Fekkai Sheer Hold Hairspray.

 

All Products by Fekkai: Fekkai Full Blown Volume Mousse ($25; Fekkai COIFFTM Sheer Hold Hairspray ($25); AVAILABLE AT FEKKAI.COM, FEKKAI SALONS, NORDSTROM, NEIMAN MARCUS, SAKS FIFTH AVENUE.

CND’s basket case for Rodarte : nails s 2013 Fashion Week

CND’s Michele Huynh played the texture card, and played it well for Rodarte.  Dubbed “Modern Medieval”, her design wove strips of custom blended and mattefied CND Colours in Desert Suede, Frosting Cream and Chocolate Milk over a base blend of high shine CND Colours in Desert Suede and Frosting Cream. 

What time prep goes into a nail of such distinction?  Each nail tip required fifteen minutes to hand-detail – and the 30 total sets of nails for the show took 150+ hours to create!

Would you try this look?
