Makeup artist Lorrie Turk created Taylor Swift's beautiful poppy-hued lipstick shade for the People's Choice Awards, and now we've got her instructions on what colors to use (and how to use them) to re-create the look. "I first used Cover Girl Lip Perfection Lip Liner in Passion ($7) to line her lips and also help the color stay through the night," she says. "I then finished by applying Cover Girl Lip Perfection Lipstick in Flame ($8)."

Love how Mila Kunis wore a soft take on the smoky eye. The earth tones of her People's Choice Awards look were suitably dramatic, but easier to wear than the full-blown version. Makeup artist Rachel Goodwin created the look in a few steps. First, she applied the neutrals from Chanel's Winter Nights eye shadow quad. (Try extending the champagne shade to just underneath the brow, blending the tan into the crease, and smudging the dark green color along the lash line.) For a subtle khaki shimmer, she applied the brand's fluid eye shadow in Torrent. After lining Mila's inner lash line with a dark pencil eyeliner, she finished the look with mascara.

Megan Fox @ 68th Golden Globe Awards

Megan Fox goes for lash drama and pale pink lips and cheeks with her Golden Globes look. Giorgio Armani dressed Megan in a custom designed pale pink Giorgio Armani Prive evening gown. The dress featured an asymmetrical Swarovski adorned strap that was woven through a fitted bustier, layered with silk and Swarovski crystals. The dramatic silhouette was enhanced with a high front slit, open cutout back and cascading chiffon train.
As the ambassador for Giorgio Armani Beauty, Megan featured the latest selections of cosmetics from the Giorgio Armani Beauty line. Expert makeup artist, Monika Blunder, worked with Megan to achieve a feminine and ultra glamorous look. Megan’s elegant pale pink Giorgio Armani Prive gown was the source of Blunder’s inspiration. “I wanted the soft palette and color range of Megan’s dress to be incorporated in the makeup, with a major emphasis on the eye,” states Blunder. Monika began by lining Megan’s eyes with black Maestro Liquid Eyeliner. To create the smoky effect, she layered Maestro Eye Shadows #12, #18 and #38, and finished with Eyes to Kill Excess Mascara on Megan’s lashes. Blunder then used Blending Blush Duo #4 on cheeks and finished the look with Rouge d’Armani #506, topped with Lip Shimmer #22 on Megan’s lips.

Makeup How-to

NARS worked with celebrity makeup artist Vanessa Scali to create Mad Men’s Christina Hendricks’ exuberant look for the 68th annual Golden Globe Awards. “I had this vision of a big, doe-eyed, lashy look from the late 70s and early 80s. To keep it modern, I kept the skin dewy with shimmering eyes and added a pop of matte texture on the lips,” said Vanessa.

Anne Hathaway wears a sequin-heavy bronze dress with a plunging back.
Makeup How-to

“Anne wore a nude rose sequin gown. The dress featured a strong shoulder, so I wanted to make sure the make up was approachable and feminine to allow the dress its full attention.” — Kate Lee

I used CHANEL Sublimage Concentrate to add an intense boost of hydration to the skin. Next I used Nars Oil free pro prime to help the make up to stay put. The foundation was CHANEL Vitalumiere Fluid Makeup, I love its dewy finish. I used Kevyn Aucoin Sculpting powder in Medium to pop Anne’s cheekbones. On the eyes, I used CHANEL Fluid Iridescent Eyeshadow in Sand, which is like a toasty rose gold. In the socket I added depth by adding a little taupe shadow. I curled the lashes, applied one soft coat of CHANEL Inimitable Waterproof Mascara in Noir, my go-to for all award shows! Her lips were prepped with CHANEL Hydramax + Active Lip Care, then blotted and given a coat of CHANEL Rouge Coco Lip Colour in Mademoiselle, and then topped with CHANEL Coco Shine in Bel Ami which gave the rose a violet hue (available in April). I tucked the lip color plus the CHANEL Natural Finish Pressed Powder compact inside her purse, and off she went!” (source - temptalia.com)

January Jones @ 68th Golden Globe Awards

January Jones is wearing one of the racier gowns I’ve seen at this year’s Golden Globes… whew! Not work safe, I’d say…
Makeup How-to

“January’s look was all about strength – there was nothing demure about it! I wanted to go for a super strong brow, and a high gloss red lip. 90′s supermodel meets old Hollywood glamour!” — Rachel Goodwin

“The makeup was simple with two strong elements. I prepped her skin with CHANEL Sublimage Concentrate. I then sculpted her cheeks with CHANEL Bronzing Makeup Base. On her lids, I used a wash of champagne coloured shadow, CHANEL Soft Touch Eyeshadow in Liberty. I created a strong, bold defined brow with the CHANEL Perfect Brows palette, and applied two coats of CHANEL Inimitable Intense Mascara in Noir. Finally, I knew I wanted to go for a glossy red lip as opposed to a matte red, to keep the look fresh and not too retro. I used an amazing red gloss, CHANEL Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss in Excess, to complete January’s strong red carpet look.”


Nicole Kidman @ 68th Golden Globe Awards

Sandra Bullock @ 68th Golden Globe Awards

Sandra Bullock is beautiful with her smoldering smoky eyes!
Makeup How-to

“My inspiration for Sandra was rock and roll with just a touch of disco!! Sandra and I agreed that a strong semi rock and roll eye with a touch of glamour would work well using similar colors that are in the jewels and dress and taking in consideration the bangs and hair style.” — Angela Levin

“I prepped Sandra’s skin with the CHANEL Sublimage Concentrate, and then applied CHANEL Hydramax + Active Cream. On her eyes I first used CHANEL then using a combination of all colours from the Ombres Perlees de CHANEL Eyeshadow Palette, using the dark shades on the outside and working my way in to the lightest. I lined her eyes with CHANEL Long-Lasting Eyeliner in Ebene, and then applied two coats of CHANEL Inimitable Intense Mascara in Noir. I powdered her face with CHANEL Natural Finish Pressed Powder, and CHANEL Blush Duo Tweed Effect in Tweed Pink. Finally, on her lips I used CHANEL Rouge Coco Lip Colour in Chintz.”

Olivia Wilde – 2011 Golden Globe Awards

Olivia Wilde also seems to be sporting a grayish (perhaps with some brown) smoky eye–guess gray is big for this spring. Her gown fit-for-a-princess is by Marchesa.
Makeup How-to

NARS worked with celebrity makeup artist Spencer Barnes to create presenter Olivia Wilde’s glowing look for the 68th annual Golden Globe Awards.
“Olivia’s look was inspired by images she collected of what she refers to as ‘the French girl.’ I wanted her skin to be fresh and clean with eyes that extended outward. Touches of rose gold and sheer pink-veiled lips completed her youthful coquette-ish look,” Spencer said.

Michelle Williams has always been a favorite of mine, and I’m actually loving the coral lip on her. Hope we can find out what she’s wearing!
Makeup How-to

“We were inspired by the classic beauty of Jean Seberg and Mia Farrow. Luminous fresh skin was key, and a super lashed eye gave a nod to those classic beauties. A fresh coral lip kept the look modern and new.” — Jeanine Lobell

“As a base, I used a new foundation from CHANEL, Vitalumiere Aqua in B10 (available in March). It’s a super light, sheer formula with great coverage. On Michelle’s cheeks, I used CHANEL Powder Blush in Espiegle, a beautiful shimmery pink-coral. Her eyes were Kevyn Aucoin Essential Eye Shadow Palette #2, and applied two coats of Kevyn Aucoin Lash Curler Volume Mascara. I set her brows with CHANEL Perfect Brows. Finally, on her lips I used CHANEL Rouge Coco Lip Colour in Chalys.” (temptalia.com)

Scarlet Johansson, the face of Dolce & Gabbana’s make-up line, complemented her delicate Golden Globes gown with a soft, glowing make-up look from the Italian house’s beauty range that highlighted her trademark cheekbones.
How to get Scarlett’s look:
Make-up artist Matthew Vanleeuwen used Perfect Finish Creamy Foundation in Classic as a base. He then shaded and outlined her eyes with Smooth Eye Colour Quad in Desert and Smooth Eye Shadow Duo in Desire to give deep peach and pink accents. Finally, he used The Illuminator in Eva to highlight brow, cheekbones and nose and applied a berry toned stain to Scarlett’s lips using Classic Cream Lipstick. Voila – simply stunning!

Christina Hendricks @ 2011 SAG Awards

Christina Hendricks had her makeup done by celebrity makeup artist Vanessa Scali using CoverGirl.
Makeup Breakdown

Christina was inspired by Brigitte Bardot’s black smoky eyes and nude face. So, we went in this direction but softened the look for the red carpet by using a creamy, shimmery shadow in gunmetal. This gives the eye shadow a transparent quality that makes the look very strong but also very modern.
I am always sparing with foundation but especially with Christina’s nearly flawless skin. I used NatureLuxe Silk Foundation in Alabaster, which was perfect for fresh, lightweight coverage. For a hint of color, I used Simply Ageless Sculpting Blush in Plush Peach on the apples of the cheeks, looking polished and fresh.
For Christina’s timeless smoky eye, I used Smoky ShadowBlast in Onyx Smoke on the lid from just above the crease down to the lash line. I swept out past the natural lash line at the outer corners of the eye to exaggerate the eye size and add a touch of red carpet drama.
Also, to define the lash line, I used LiquiLine Blast Eyeliner in Black Fire. This pencil defines the eye by leaving intense color at the lash line but is very blendable for a soft look at the edges. Never leave home without lush and lengthy lashes, I used LashBlast Fusion Mascara in Very Black to create just that.
Strong eyes look great paired with clean, uncomplicated skin. Keep it fresh by powdering in the T-zone only, using Clean Pressed Powder, Sensitive Skin in Ivory.
Finally, to complement the smoky eye, I wanted to use brown undertones, so I chose Lip Perfection Lipstick in Kiss, perfect for red carpet glam!

Katy wore an Armani Prive dress with a jewel encrusted bar and light-up angel wings. The inspiration for the beauty look was “Disco Angel” it was angelic, sparkly and ethereal. I wanted to play off the textures in the dress and wings.
For Katy’s multi-colored eye, I first applied the lavender shade of COVERGIRL Smoky ShadowBlast in Silver Sky all along the top lid from lashline to crease and blended with my fingertips. Cream shadows are great adhesive for glitter, which was perfect for applying Makeup For Ever Glitter on the lid by tapping it with my finger. I then applied COVERGIRL LiquiLineBlast in Green Glow along the lower water line and lower lashes and blended it with a small brush to smoke it out. I finished the eyes with 2 coats on top and bottom of COVERGIRL LashBlast Fusion in Black.
I first prepped her skin with NARS gentle cream cleanser and aqua gel hydrator. I love the aqua gel because it doesn’t make her skin greasy but keeps it moisturized. Katy’s face was flawless, polished skin set with a shimmery pink blush and then I dusted glitter on her cheekbones to add to the sparkle.
On her lips, I created a rich pink look with COVERGIRL LipPerfection lipcolor in Temptress for the red carpet and then changed it to a brighter berry pink/red for her performance using LipPerfection lipcolor in Tempt. — Jake Bailey, Celebrity Makeup Artist (temptalia.com)

“Michelle’s skin is so fresh and beautiful. I applied CHANEL Vitalumiere Aqua Ultra Light Skin Perfecting Makeup in B10, which allows her skin to shine though the makeup, creating a fresh look. I set the makeup with CHANEL Natural Finished Press Pressed Powder in Translucent 1. For eyes, we went for a light, ethereal smoky look mixing the shades in the CHANEL Quadra Eyeshadow in Smoky Eyes. I used the silvery shade as a base, and then used the pewter shade, taking it from the lash line up into the crease, adding shape to the eye. I then smudged the same shade in the lower lash line. I used the black shade, blended into the pewter, as a liner. I applied a few individual lashes in the center, and a lot of CHANEL Inimitable Waterproof Mascara in Noir on the top and bottom. I used the CHANEL Precision Brow Definer in Blond Claire to define the brow. To create a glowing pink cheek, I applied CHANEL Blush Duo Tweed Effect in Pink Tweed. I mixed her lip colour, CHANEL Rouge Coco Lip Colour in Rose Dentelle, with a bit of the Vitalumiere Aqua foundation, which creates the effect of the lips blending into the face.”

So what's the secret behind Johansson's eye-popping makeup?

Celebrity makeup artist Gianpaolo Ceciliato accentuated the 26-year-old starlet's tousled bob hairstyle with a rusty shadow from Dolce & Gabbana's Smooth Eye Colour Quad in Stromboli. He lined her lids in the Eyeliner in gold and applied tons of the Mascara in black.

Hi guys I have a question concerning achieving red-carpet looks:



I would like to get the slightly white-silvery glow that some stars show at their cheeks up to their forehead at some red carpet events and I would be really greatful if anyone could give me tipps which products could give that glow, some kind of illuminator, finishing make-up product or blush or creamy illuminator...

sources:talkingmakeup.com & scarlett-johansson-archive.blogspot.com/

and how do they achieve the so-glowing face - my face doesn't glow like that even after putting on foundation...

 

[melfreya]

^Jomarluska that's called a highlighter It goes after foundation and blush on the high points of your face like on top of your cheeks, on the brow bones and sometimes (though I find it a bit much) on the bridge of the nose.
Here's a video on it, that explains it better!
(be sure to watch in 720p resolution and full screen to see the light picking up on little details)



The best ones I've used (I'm very pale!) is Amber Diamond by Dior, if you prefer powder, and Benefit's High Beam in liquid form
