Red Carpet-Inspired Hair and Makeup Trends for Holiday Season – The Hollywood Reporter
NEW HOLLYWOOD ‘DOS
‘Tis the season to take glam hair cues from iconic silver display stars. On the Met Gala, Yara Shahidi’s free curls channeled Josephine Baker, whereas Billie Eilish’s volumized bob nodded to Marilyn Monroe.
The retro waves on Eiza González on the Met Gala and Amanda Seyfried’s Oscar updo — each created by hairstylist Renato Campora — have been impressed, respectively, by Ava Gardner and Marion Davies.
To create comfortable waves, Campora preps every part of hair with Schwarzkopf Osis + Grip mousse earlier than rolling with T3 Volumizing Scorching Rollers. After half-hour, he removes the rollers, brushes curls, provides a component and finishes with Oribe Superfine hair spray. For vacation events, Campora loves “a neat ponytail or low bun … a messy bun can be very lovely.” His secret weapon for setting the look? Fekkai Full Blown Quantity Dry Texturizing Spray.
CRIMSON LIPS
Daring scarlet lips are in season. Suppose Anya Taylor-Pleasure on the Emmys or González and Michael Jaé Rodriguez on the Met Gala. González’s make-up artist, Jenna Kristina, says: “For vacation make-up, I at all times recommend one thing that stays on for some time. Maybelline New York Tremendous Keep Liquid Lipstick, in Voyage or Pioneer, stays on for 16 hours. Layer Pioneer within the heart of the lip for a extra dimensional, virtually ombré lip.” Georgie Eisdell — who used Dior Rouge’s “super-hydrating” Dior Ceaselessly Liquid lipstick in 999 on Anya Taylor-Pleasure on the Emmys — likes to use lipstick first and lip liner second, “so I can create a very sharp edge.”
For the lighter look of a stain, Eisdell applies natural-colored lip liner first to forestall bleeding, then “utilizing a Q-tip or my finger, I apply lipstick to the middle of the mouth and mix it with my pinkie finger — kiss your finger so it goes to the perimeters and stipple throughout the lips, diffusing shade to the outer corners.” Alternately, she layers pink or plum lip pencil underneath Goop Magnificence Goopgenes Lip Balm to create a stain. However all that glitters just isn’t good, she cautions: “I don’t know who appears good with a metallic lip. Shiny lips, sure; sparkles, no!’ Eisdell can be a fan of Chanel’s Rouge Attract Laque liquid lip color in Iconique or Rouge Irregulier.
SPARKLY, JEWELED EYES
The celebratory vibe of glittery, typically gem-encrusted eye make-up (initially sparked by HBO’s Euphoria) feels proper for vacation 2021. Swarovski crystals accented Gemma Chan in Cannes and Julia Garner on the Met Gala, the place Storm Reid and Grimes embellished round their eyes with pearls and Lil Nas X’s peepers have been bracketed in gold. Make-up artist Grace Pae created Nas’ look utilizing Face Lace stickers.
“I simply minimize the corners from one after which put gold foil over it. You’ll be able to simply obtain this with metallic liquid liner. Danessa Myricks has the most effective liquid and cream merchandise for an intense, hyper-metallic foiled impact.” Provides Eisdell, “I might translate the crystals as a high-shine eye with a wash of Pat McGrath shadow or a burgundy metallic liquid liner — for a ‘70s vibe, add a monochromatic burgundy lash and lip, with a heat cheek.”
Says McGrath, who created Garner’s look utilizing shimmery orchid shadow from her Mothership IX: Huetopian Dream palette earlier than including wings of crystals within the corners, “This season is all about glowing jeweled eyes!”
CRYSTALLIZED HAIR ORNAMENTS
From glittering barrettes and headbands to crystals and pearls positioned immediately within the hair, locks dressed up with bejeweled embellishment are party-ready.
On the Met Gala, Alicia Keys’ modern bun and Saweetie’s slicked-back bob have been topped off with sprinklings of Swarovski crystals. Hairstylist Nai’vasha positioned particular person Jennifer Behr crystals immediately into Keys’ hair by utilizing “somewhat extreme-hold hair gel on the tip of my metal-tip comb. You may as well use lash gel. I made the design ombré, beginning off with shiny crystals and fading into black crystals. It’s a chandelier chignon!” she says. Nai’vasha makes use of bungee hairbands to maintain the chignon easy and tight, including “the cool issue is the precise twist in again not being excellent.” Single crystals will be bought at most craft shops.
The identical night, Shahidi, Lorde and Emily Blunt confirmed up in head-turning headbands (Blunt’s was customized Miu Miu), whereas Amanda Gorman wore an elaborate pair of Behr crystal hair combs and Gigi Hadid polished off her excessive ponytail with a rhinestoned Prada barrette. “Thick headbands with gold, crystal or pearls have a glamorous, vintage-y look,” says Nai’vasha. “I feel hair equipment are going to be our largest vacation development!” An alternative choice: Behr’s new set of 14 crystal-topped Alicia hair pins.
