Sofia Vergara’s Emmys Beauty Get The Look

Courtesy of MMC for Head & Shoulders and CoverGirl

Television’s best gathered at the Nokia Theatre in Downtown Los Angeles on August 25^th for the 66th Primetime Emmys and TME has the inside scoop on how to create Sofia Vergara’s red hot look, starting with the step-by-step hair tutorial for her shiny straight style followed by the breakdown to achieve her easy, breezy, beautiful makeup.

First, Head & Shoulders got the scoop on how to achieve her smooth blow out with a center part from Sofia’s stylist, celeb hair guru Kylee Heath. Follow Kylee’s step-by-step instructions below and you’ll be ready to make your red carpet debut!

1. Start with Head & Shoulders Smooth & Silky for a flake-free part and 24-hour frizz control

2. Create a straight center part on damp hair

3. Blow dry the top front section, away from your face, with a boar bristle round brush. Roll the section under itself and pin into place to cool

4. Blow dry the rest of your hair in two square inch sections and pin each section in place then wait for all sections to cool. Once cool, take out each section and brush it

5. With a 1 ½ inch curling iron, add a slight bend to the shorter front layers

6. Finish by spraying with light hairspray for extra hold

Next, Sofia’s makeup artist complemented her Art Deco style with a retro lip and a fresh modern eye. With the white and silver dress, white diamonds and simple hair, the makeup called for a pop of color. See the breakdown below of Sofia’s glamorous look.

Face: I used a shorthaired buffing foundation brush to really buff the foundation, truBLEND Liquid Foundation in Classic Tan D-4, into the skin. I then used a touch of bronzer (Clean Glow Bronzer in Spices) on the forehead, cheekbones and down the bridge of the nose. I added a pop of blush, Clean Glow Blush in Peaches, on the apples of the cheeks to give the look some warmth.

Eyes: I avoided any liner and kept the eyes simple by applying Queen Collection Shadow Pot in Dazzle in a cat eye shape. I applied two coats of Clump Crusher by LashBlast Mascara on both the top and the bottom, which gave the eyes more structure without looking too heavy.

Lips: The focus was really about the lip, so I needed a long lasting lip product that would last all night through the red carpet, award show AND parties. I didn't want the lip to look too dry so I chose Outlast AllDay Lipcolor in Ever-Reddy as it is super pigmented and would give that punch of color while still looking like a shiny candy apple! I lined the lip with a matching pencil, LipPerfection Lipliner in Passion.

Katy Perry 2014 Grammy Looks From The Pop Princess’ Style Team

Lester Cohen/Getty

Everyone walking the Red Carpet at Sunday’s Grammy Awards definitely made a statement. But among the masses, Katy Perry really stood out and had the most transformative look that began with whimsical on the Red Carpet and morphed into sultry for the performance of her hit “Dark Horse”.

Katy, as always, was stunning and luckily The Makeup Examiner has Katy’s full beauty breakdown … straight from her expert beauty team! Peruse through the slideshow for your favorite look and the complete how-to!

Celebrity Stylist Renato Campora shares, “Katy wanted to wear her hair up and I was inspired by the soft, romantic look of her dress”. First I sprayed her hair with the Herbal Essences Naked Sheer Shine Mist and then blew it out to a sleek, polished finish. Once her hair was dry, I pulled it into a tight, high ponytail. To add more volume and texture to the ponytail, I sprayed the Herbal Essences Naked Dry Shampoo throughout the length of her hair. Then I twisted the ponytail and wrapped it around the base of her hair to create the crown. I secured the crown with bobby pins and misted the hair with the Herbal Essences Naked Flexible Hold Spritzer to polish her look and set her style in place.

Katy Perry 2014 Grammy’s Red Carpet Beauty by Jake Bailey - “Katy had a very clear idea of what she wanted for the Grammy’s this year. She wanted sexy eyes; elegant lashes and she wanted to GLOW! I was quick to agree as I had seen the ethereal gown she was going to wear – stunning!,” shared Jake.

I started by prepping her skin with Olay’s new Regenerist Luminous Tone Perfecting Cream. This is perfect to use under makeup as it delivers lots of moisture but still feels lightweight and foundation glides smoothly over it. Once the moisturizer had absorbed, I got to work on the skin. Since we were going for maximum "glow" I mixed equal parts CoverGirl BB cream and CoverGirl TruBLEND Liquid Foundation on the back of my palm before buffing it all over her face and neck with a soft brush for sheer coverage and a polished glow.

I started the eye look by painting a delicate line onto her lashline and a subtle “cat eye” wing in the outer corners of her eyes using CoverGirl Bombshell Liquid Liner. I then coated her lashes with Bombshell Volume Mascara, top and bottom. I used the first coat to get that volumized look and then applied the second coat for the intense jet-black wet lash look. I then applied Bombshell Shine Shadow in Gold Goddess into the crease of her eyelid and highlighted her lids and brow bones with Flamed Out Shadow in Blazing White. I finished the eye look with a strong brow and a coat of clear mascara to hold them in place.

Once I finished with the eyes, I warmed and highlighted her complexion using CoverGirl TruMAGIC Sunkisser and Luminizer. I blended the Sunkisser along the hairline and into the hollows of the cheeks to add warmth and dimension. I then took the Luminizer and used it to add a golden glow to her cheekbones, tip of her nose and just above the cupid’s bow of her lips. Once I set the makeup with CoverGirl + Olay Pressed Powder, I dusted a little bit of shimmery coral blush on the apples of her cheeks.

I finished the look with a fresh coral/pink shade called "Heavenly" from the CoverGirl LipPerfection collection and tipped it with a touch of balm for extra shine.

Katy Perry 2014 Grammy Performance Look by Jake Bailey - “Once Katy walked the red carpet it was time to take her into the performance look. The performance was going to be dark and dramatic so we needed to make a change but had very little time. I made a quick change by adding a strip of spidery false lashes and adding another coat of Bombshell Mascara for extra intensity. I took my CoverGirl Bombshell Liquid Liner and extended her eyeliner outward to look a little more ‘wicked’,” shared Jake.

The fastest way to dramatically change your look is always the lips. We went from a fresh coral pink to a deep cranberry and she was instantly transformed from ethereal red carpet bombshell into a sultry witch. The shade we chose was “Euphoria” also from CoverGirl LipPerfection. She liked the color so much that she kept it on for the rest of the show as it went perfectly with her post performance outfit.

Katy Perry 2014 Grammy NailsGetty - “Katy wanted something really simple and chic to go with her red carpet dress and her performance look. We chose a light pink shade called “Everbloom” from the CoverGirl Outlast Nail Gloss collection. It offered just a subtle hint of color to keep the focus on her gown and flawless face,” shares Celebrity Manicurist Kimmie Kyees.

Pink’s 2014 Grammy Red Carpet Look

Pink is one of those megastars who never fails to bring a showstopper to the Red Carpet and Sunday’s Grammy Awards were no exception. Hitting the Red Carpet in a classic silhouette style gown by Johanna Johnson, Pink complimented the gorgeous gown with a somewhat toned-down look for her makeup and nails.

Beginning with Pink’s nearly flawless skin, CoverGirl truBLEND Liquid Makeup was applied, mainly through the T-zone, which uniforms the skin and gives a photo finish for the base. After the foundation, CoverGirl truMAGIC Luminizer was applied to Pink’s cheekbones, jaw line and crest of the upper lip for accentuation and then CoverGirl truMAGIC Sunkisser was applied to the same areas to add warmth and dimension.

(Insider Beauty Tip: Apply CoverGirl truMAGIC Luminizer to shoulders or décolleté for added glow!).

To start the bold eye like Pink’s, apply truBLEND FixStick on the lid, brow bone and the inner corner of the eye. It adds a touch of brightness and defines the brow. The next step is eyeliner. Apply CoverGirl Bombshell Intensity Liner in Pitch Black Passion along the base of your lashes then, just a quick curl of the lashes and CoverGirl Bombshell Volume Mascara by Lashblast for red-carpet worthy eyes! The new Bombshell Mascara adds volume and intensity, which creates this amazing wet-lash look. Pink’s brows were perfected and elongated using CoverGirl Brow & Eyemakers Pencil in Soft Blonde and set in place with clear gel.

Pink showed off her amazing lips with a great nude color. She wore CoverGirl Queen Collection Lip Color in Coffee Break and LipPerfection Lipliner in Seduce to create the perfect red carpet pout. To complete her look, Pink rocked a two-color mani! She layered CoverGirl Outlast Stay Brilliant Nail Gloss in Forever Fawn under one coat of CoverGirl Outlast Stay Brilliant Nail Gloss in Natural Blush to create that perfect, pinky nude.

Snowboarder Jamie Anderson Talks Olympics and Staying In Balance

Courtesy of P&G Beauty

The start of the 22nd Winter Olympics will begin on Feb. 7 marking the first time that the Olympics have been held in Russia since the fall of the Iron Curtain. Another first for the Olympics Games is the debut of Snowboard Slopestyle and US Snowboarder Jamie Anderson will be there to represent the sport. On Thursday, Jan. 23 The Makeup Examiner caught up with the 23-year-old beauty to find out about how it feels to represent the US and her secrets for staying calm, centered and beautiful.

The Makeup Examiner: With the debut of Snowboard Slopestyle at Sochi, how are you preparing for such an honor to represent both the US and your sport? How do you stay calm?

Jamie Anderson: I feel so honored to represent our country! I never thought they would add my event to the Games and I can’t wait to show everyone what Snowboard Slopestyle is all about. To stay calm, I do a lot of yoga -- now more than ever -- to help me stay peaceful and enjoy the journey there.

I understand that you have a sponsorship program for kids who are interested in snowboarding. Can you tell me a little about the program?

This is my third year doing the “Give Back with Love” charity event, which I do right around the winter solstice to help support local kids in my community. Growing up with a really big family, I know how expensive it is to get into snowboarding and I wanted to help kids who aren’t financially able to purchase equipment and season passes get on the mountain. This year I am sponsoring eight kids!

How is your clothing line going and where can we get TRYE gear?

My clothing line is awesome! My newest collection with Billabong is inspired by Peru and South America; I just did a trip to Machu Picchu and Bolivia and found some really cool tribal designs and textures that I incorporated into my pieces. The line is environmentally friendly too, we use all sustainable polyester and recycled water bottles to make the jackets, and my street wear is made of organic cotton and hemp. You can find it all on Billabong.

How did the Olay partnership come about? Why did you want to sign with the brand?

The Olay sponsorship came about because of the upcoming Olympics and also because of P&G’s “Thank You, Mom” campaign. “Thank You, Mom” really inspired me because my mom worked so hard to help me follow my dreams. And as for Olay specifically, I have always known the brand and loved their products so it felt like a natural fit.

How do you protect your skin when you’re out on the slopes?

I use a lot of different things, but lately I have been loving the Olay Fresh Effects Hydrating Gel Moisture, which really helps bring hydration to your face. Being in the mountains most of the year my skin gets really dry, so it’s really nice to use that.

Obviously the cameras are always on when you’re on the slopes. What do you do to look so amazing?

I always try to have a smile on my face! Snowboarding makes me so happy and I think you can really tell when people are enjoying what they are doing. I keep it mostly natural, but I like to use a little CoverGirl Bombshell mascara to give me a dark, voluminous lashes yet a fresh look out on the mountain.

Do you have a different beauty regime for when you know the cameras are around versus what you would have just hanging with friends and family?

Before a big competition I definitely take an extra moment to pamper myself and look beautiful. But if I am just going to yoga or to hang out with my sisters —nothing over the top!

Are you going to do anything special, makeup wise, to represent the US while in Sochi?

I’m going to try to look as beautiful as I can! Definitely the CoverGirl Bombshell mascara.

What is the number one piece of beauty advice you’d offer readers?

More than anything, beauty is about what goes in your body—make sure you are eating healthy, nutritious food and drinking a lot of water.

As an obvious role model, what life advice would you give to girls?

I would tell girls to love themselves more than anything, find something that they truly are passionate about and to follow their dreams and trust that they can do anything they believe in!

Note: A very special thanks to Jamie Anderson for taking the time to chat. It was a true pleasure.

Jake Bailey Reveals Secrets To Katy Perry’s AMA Look Exclusive!

Katy Perry and Jake Bailey - Courtesy of Jake Bailey

Katy Perry kicked off the American Music Awards (AMAs) Sunday, Nov. 24 with some serious Perry power. Taking to the Nokia Theatre stage in Los Angeles to perform her latest single, “Unconditionally,” Perry donned traditional Japanese dress and was joined by dancers, also donning traditional costume, for the live performance of the latest single off her album, “Prism”. But prior to taking to the stage, Katy rocked the Red Carpet in a stunning black strapless Oscar de la Renta gown, reminiscent of old Hollywood chic.

The Makeup Examiner caught up with Celebrity Makeup Artist Jake Bailey, who created Katy’s look for both the Red Carpet and her 2013 AMA performance and in an exclusive, Jake shares how he created Katy’s classic Red Carpet and whimsical performance looks.

Kay Perry’s Red Carpet Look: “The moment I saw Katy's beautiful Oscar de la Renta gown I knew we would do a red lip. Pairing it with black liner and lots of lashes we created a look that is ‘classic Katy,’” said Jake.

I started with a sheer application of CoverGirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 Foundation in Buff Beige #825. This foundation is perfect for the red carpet because it provides full coverage, but can be blended sheerly for light yet durable coverage. It lasts forever and the SPF 20 is great for a daytime red carpet event because [celebrities] have to stand in the sun for so long!
For the eyes I started by creating a classic Hollywood eye line using CoverGirl Liquiline Blast Eyeliner in Black Fire #410. I love this pencil because you can create the look of a liquid liner but it's much easier to apply. I accentuated the crease of her lid using Flamed Out Shadow Pot in Melted Caramel #330 and finished with the NEW Bombshell Volume Mascara in Very Black #800 – it creates extreme volume!
I then set the foundation with a light dusting of CoverGirl + Olay Pressed Powder in Light #330 and warmed the apples of her cheeks with Clean Glow Blush in Roses #100
I finished the look with a classic bold red lip, using CoverGirl LipPerfection in Hot #305 with matching liner. I used the liner to perfect her lip shape before applying color

Katy Perry’s Performance Look: “For Katy's performance we created a look inspired by her recent trip to Japan. This was a dramatic look and we only had a short amount of time to make the change so I had to work fast,” said Jake.

I started by dusting her all over with a theatrical powder from Ben Nye called “Super White” to pale out her complexion as quickly as possible. On her lips I refreshed her CoverGirl LipPerfection in Hot #305 and used the liner to make her lips more bow shaped.
I applied CoverGirl Checkers Blush in Classic Pink #110 all over the sides of her face concentrating the most pigment on her temples. I finished her look with triangular lashes I created by cutting into a particularly large false lash with small cuticle scissors to create the angular shape. This created her dramatic stage look!

And there you have it Katycats!

Katy Perry ‘Unconditionally’ Get The Look Exclusive from Jake Bailey

Courtesy of CoverGirl

Katy Perry released the official video for her power ballad, “Unconditionally,” on Nov. 20 and the fresh-faced CoverGirl looks the essence of romance. In a TME exclusive, Celebrity Makeup Artist Jake Bailey shares the step-by-step for Katy’s timeless look.

The creative direction to create the look was a collaborative effort, proving that the 29-year-old pop diva is very much in control of all aspects of her career, which is one of the reasons that Perry was tapped to represent CoverGirl.

“For this video, Katy and I wanted to create something romantic yet dramatic to reflect the style and lighting of the video. For this set up I chose to go with alabaster skin, ethereal pink cheeks and a deep matte lip for dramatic impact. I kept the eyes simple with a coat of black mascara and a light dusting of warm taupe eyeshadow,” shares Jake.

Face:

I first prepped her skin with Olay Fresh Effects “Long Live Moisture” Satin Finish Moisturizer. Since this was a matte look the satin finish was ideal under foundation to keep it looking fresh and matte minimizing the need for powder reapplications throughout the shoot.

I perfected her skin and lightened it a shade using CoverGirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3-In-1 foundation in Classic Ivory. This foundation has great coverage, so I only had to use a small amount and spread it thinly all over her face and neck using a small flat tipped kabuki style foundation brush. The "outlast" aspect is ideal for long shoot days as it really does stay put requiring minimal touch ups.

Before applying blush I finished the foundation with a light dusting of CoverGirl + Olay Pressed Powder in Fair. It’s important to powder before applying blush so that the blush will blend easily and evenly. I then swirled CoverGirl Cheekers Blush in Classic Pink all over her outer cheeks and temples.

Eyes:

For her simple eye, I first blended a sheer amount of CoverGirl Flamed Out Shadow Pot in Melted Caramel across her lids and into the crease. I finished the eyes with a coat of CoverGirl’s brand new Bombshell Volume by Lash Blast mascara in Very Black to her top and bottom lashes. When you have big expressive eyes like Katy, sometimes all you need is a coat of super-dark mascara to make them pop.

Lips:

I finished the look with a deep cranberry lip. I mixed equal parts CoverGirl LipPerfection in Euphoria and Tempt to create the perfect shade. I then blotted her lips with a powdered tissue to set and mattify the lip.

And there you have readers, the step-by-step of Katy Perry's "Unconditionally" look. Now … go check out the video!

Katy Perry joins the CoverGirl family just ahead of new album launch

Katy Perry and CoverGirl announced today, Oct. 16, that Katy has become the latest celebrity to join the iconic beauty brand.

At the core of CoverGirl is a beauty brand that places emphasis upon every woman’s strength and given that “Pop Princess Perry” is known for her innovative style, the pairing seems like a rather obvious one.

The CoverGirl/Perry pairing is expected to bring a bevy of bold new beauty looks with products developed by the brand’s Global Creative Director, Pat McGrath.

The list of famous faces that have represented CoverGirl is long and includes fashion icons like Christie Brinkley, Cheryl Tiegs, Rachel Hunter, Tyra Banks, Niki Taylor and Molly Sims. Today’s CoverGirl roster includes Sofia Vergara, Queen Latifah, Pink, and Ellen DeGeneres, Becky G, NERVO, Janelle Monáe and now … Katy Perry.
