Dakota Johnson (50 Shades of Grey) by Mark Townsend– Get the Look!
“For the Golden Globes, I wanted to give Dakota Johnson effortless texture with a bit of volume and lift.
· To create this sexy and bendy look, I added four to five drops of Dove Pure Care Dry Oil Nourishing Treatment to her damp hair.
· Next, I added Dove Oxygen Moisture Root Lift Spray to her roots before blowing out her hair with a large round brush.
· In order to get a unique and imperfect wave, I alternated between a double barrel R Session tool iron and a 1-inch curling iron on 4-inch sections.
· To top it off, I used R+Co Death Valley Dry Shampoo to get that piecey texture.
· Finally, for extra shine and piecey-ness I ran a dime size amount of the new Dove Quench Absolute Supreme Crème Serum through her waves.”

Keira Knightley at the 2015 Golden Globes (Nominated for Best Supporting Actress)
Styled by Ben Skervin using Vidal Sassoon
The Look: Soft and fairytale like
The Inspiration: Ben and Keira went for a soft and pretty look – a style that was perfectly suited for one of the biggest award shows of the year. Paired perfectly with Keira’s gorgeous Chanel butterfly dress, they went for a style that is simple and right out of a fairytale. Keira’s classic and captivating hairstyle is truly timeless and was finished with a beautiful Chanel diamond feather above the bun.
Here’s how Ben created Keira’s look:
1. First prep damp hair with Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Boost & Lift Foaming Air Mousse, applying throughout the hair for lift and hold.
2 .Blow-dry the hair with a large round brush. Once hair is dry, take two square inch sections and spray each section with Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Flexible Hold Hairspray.
3. Using an inch-wide barrel curling iron, wrap the 2-inch sections of hair in a spiral down the curling iron. Slide hair off and allow to cool. Repeat this over the whole head.
4. Once the curled hair has cooled, spray Vidal Sassoon ColorFinity Dry Shampoo into the roots. Brush the hair out really well to form waves and then backcomb the roots slightly.
5. Pull hair back into a low, loose ponytail and secure it with a hair elastic. Then, twist the ponytail into a loose bun and use a combination of bobby pins and U -pins to hold the hair in place. Be sure to refine the shape of the bun with pins.
6. To finish, spray hair with Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Flexible Hold Hairspray to keep flyaways in place.

Celebrity makeup artist Tricia Sawyer created the look for Robin Wright for the 2015 Golden Globes tonight using Orlane products.
“Robin is wearing a gorgeous long-sleeve, two-piece Ralph Lauren dress that shows a peek of her midriff. It has a beautiful, long flowly skirt that shows off her fantastic leg, so the look we decided to go with tonight was all about a classic look, with polished, glowing skin.
I started out by prepping her skin with Orlane Brightening Micellar Water which was really great to cleanse the skin but was also really hydrating. Then used three pumps of the Anti-Aging Oxygenation System and applied it to her face and neck. I’m a huge fan of this product and use it on my clients AND myself – what it does for the texture and tone of the skin is just amazing!
It’s so important to properly hydrate the skin, especially if you’re going to put makeup over it and want it to last all night. The more hydrated the skin, the less the skin tries to absorb the makeup. I applied Orlane Absolute Skin Recovery Masque lightly all over the face, pressing it into the skin with my hands which helps it to absorb better and stimulates the skin.
For the base, I applied the Orlane Teint Absolue in Shade 13 (launching Spring 2015). It is an amazing foundation because it gives great, buildable coverage but is still really hydrating. For her eyes, we kept it simple with black liner on top, Sonia Kashuk Dramatically Brightening Eye Pencil in White on the inside of the eyes, Orlane Volume Care Mascara and individual eye lashes to open up the eyes, and great brows using Dior Universal Brow Pencil.
To give some color to the face, I dusted on a blush and used Orlane Bronzer to lightly contour her cheekbones and jaw. Then I went back and dusted Orlane Transparent Loose Powder where needed to keep the makeup in place all night.”
