LILY COLLINS was almost unrecognizable when she stepped out for the British Fashion Awards recently! The 22-year-old star of “The Mortal Instruments” usually opts for a very feminine and youthful classic red carpet look, but Lily kept her cool and toughened up a black Mulberry pleated maxi dress with a long gold ear chain, a tousled shoulder-length dark red mane, a pout that was decked out in a lush burgundy color and a fun studded manicure.

Hairstylist Lisa Eastwood added some unkempt sexiness to Lily’s shorter tresses using Shu Uemura styling creams and texturizing sprays, while makeup artist Mary Greenwell gave her a sultry finish. “Lily has a new hair cut, which is fabulous! It is shorter, choppy and very contemporary, so we wanted to leave it unkempt and kind of wild. Very unstructured. We worked the makeup to go with this look to make her appear very much of the moment with a simple soft smoky eye and dark berry mouth. I used as few products possible—this keeps the look real and uncomplicated,” Mary said when expressing her inspiration. | continue reading..

“Bella’s eyes are like jewels to begin with, and the jewels she wore dangling from her ears were amazingly eye-catching, so I knew the eye makeup needed to stay simple in color and shape. Picking a burgundy lip in the same color family as her dress and shoes was a perfect way to balance the look but not be too matchy.”  Katey shared all of her fabulous tips, which you can check out in full detail below!

“To really soothe her airplane-fatigued skin, I started with Amala Hydrate Treatment Oil. On top, I massaged Tammy Fender Antioxidant Creme Neroli and Orange Moisturizer,” Katey explained. Next up? The makeup! | continue reading..

“I have had the honor of doing 3 ‘Twilght’ premieres with Ashley, and this is the last one forever. It has been so much fun working with her on one of the highest grossing movies of all time. I have seen and experienced the growth of this amazing young lady. I love doing her hair. I love how I have changed her look from good to AMAZING!! I love my job,” Ted gushed. | continue reading..

It’s rare that we see ASHLEY GREENE break from her very classic approach to style and beauty, but the “Twilight” star embraced her inner rock-star at the 9th annual CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards in New York City when she paired a midnight  lacy Wes Gordon outfit with intense onyx-black smoky eyes and a layered mane of blooming curls.

Ashley’s mane man Ted Gibson assisted in getting her ready by perfecting those tendrils!

“Tousled textured hair is the look for Ashley. I cut her hair shoulder length a couple of weeks ago and clipped it to mostly one length with a little layering to create a slight bit of softness.

To get this tousled style for Ashley, I used Build It Blow Drying Agent on dry hair using my fingers twirling around until it was all dry. This creates a rock ‘n roll texture that isn’t considered pretty—just edgy, then I took a 1/2 inch iron all over the entire head to give it that “I’m too cool to care” vibe. | continue reading..

It must have been impossible for ASHLEY GREENE not to feel like she was living in a fairytale when she hit the black carpet for the Hollywood premiere of “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2″ in her glamorous blushing Donna Karan Atelier gown, gleaming diamonds and cascading waterfall of curly tendrils. Was it a nod to her vampire pixie character Alice Cullen that event Ashley’s skin and make-up sparkled! All signs point to YES.

While the 25-year-old may have had a lot of help from her go-to glam team on this magical night, it was Ted Gibson that gave her back-to-brunette tresses the royal treatment! “Princess gorg is the look I was going for with Ashley’s hair last night. I don’t know any girl in the world who hasn’t ever said I want to look like a princess!,” Ted explained. | continue reading..

It’s KRISTEN STEWARTlike you’ve never seen before!

For the second New York City private screening of her latest movie “On The Road”, make-up artist Beau Nelson, once again, gave her a new look. Back in September, Kristen rocked model-perfect cheekbones, but this time around he gave her a futuristic superhero smoky cat-eye to compliment the black leather body-con dress by A.L.C. that she was clad in.

One of the ways Beau made this intense style work was by leaving the rest of her face neutral to allow the eyes to pop.

“I’ve done smoky eyes on Kristen about a hundred different ways, so I wanted to do something a little unique. I created a smoky, almost cat eye shape only on the top—no liner or shadow on the bottom lash line. This resulted in a more modern take on a smoky black eye,” Beau explained.

While these ultra-smoky eyes may be a bit too intense for the office, it would certainly liven up our ensemble for a night out on the town! Are you game to try it? Get tips from Beau below! | continue reading..
