Here at FPD we are still in the whirlwind that is the Oscars and all with good reason. We have rounded some of the best hair and makeup looks from a night where beauty trumps all.
Stacy Keibler stole the spotlight at the Oscars with her gorgeous gown and impeccable makeup look. On many interview occasions, George Clooney stepped aside and let the cameras focus on his lovely girlfriend; who said chivalry is dead? Celebrity make-up artist, Matthew VanLeeuwen was inspired by the glamorous ’20s, and this look was one of our favorites because it is something anyone can achieve with the help of some Elizabeth Arden New York products! To create this look simply use: PREVAGE Anti-Aging + Intensive Repair Daily Serum, Flawless Finish Sponge-On Cream Makeup, and dust on Pure Finish Radiant Bronzing Powder. For the eyes use: Beautiful Colorr Eye Shadow in Bone all over the eye and then in the crease apply Shimmering Cooper and Sugar Cube. To complete the look, use Beautiful Color Smoky Eyes Pencil and Enhancing Mascara. And lastly, no look is complete without some lip color! Try the Ceramide Ultra Lipstick in Cameo.

I recently tested Pureology‘s new Reviving Red system, which is comprised of concentrated oil-infused formulas to prevent bleeding and fading; something that I am certainly concerned with as a new redhead. I’ve tested the entire product line, which include protective Jaljala, coconut, olive and sunflower oils, as well as exclusive Oleo Antifade Complex and Lycopene extract to help prevent colour fading. I love love love these products!
The Reviving Red Shamp’oil coupled with the Reviving Red Reflective Conditioner keep up a daily shine and vibrancy, while the Illuminating Caring Oil seals the hair shaft to seal in the shade. once-a-week tiny Red Reflect Enhancer (also available for copper shades) ampule deposits color so that I can increase the longevity of my current dye job, and save money in the process. After several comments from friends in the beauty industry about how amazing my color is looking, even several weeks after the initial dye, I know that these products are WORKING it for me!

Think pretty, mainly natural makeup for fall 2013, and either focus on an amazing ip, or totally neglect it, and you will be on trend! See below for some of our favorite backstage makeup looks.
Soooo gorgeous, right? At Clover Canyon, lead makeup artist Deanna Melluso for Kevyn Aucoin created a “Russian ballerina ice princess” aesthetic that aws just utterly gorgeous. She started off with the brand’s Sensual Skin Tinted Balm coupled with Celestial Powder in Candlelight to give the cheekbones a slightly ethereal glow. The lips were kept pretty bare and matte, while the eyes got the royal treatment of Snow eyeshadow all over the lid and in the tearducts, finishing off with curling the lashes and Volume & Curling Mascara just to the top lashes — stunning!
