For her eyes, he used Le Joli Crayon in Augergine and Eiffel Power Mascara. Finally, for the lips Stephen dabbed on Vu-On Rouge in Ma Cherry for a gorgeous sheer lip.
Jennifer Lawrence at the Toronto International Film Festival
Jennifer Lawrence of Hunger Games fame strolled the carpet in a Christian Dior Haute Couture gown for the premier of her latest film Silver Linings Playbook, which also stars Bradley Cooper, Robert DeNiro and Julia Stiles. Jennifer’s usual blond locks were dyed brown and smoothed to a “high fashionista look†by David Babaii, who worked with IT&LY products. After applying a small amount of Water Drops, he dried her hair in sections with a large round brush. Next, he created a side part, and finished Jennifer’s hair with an IT&LY 1†digital iron and a misting of Pure Definition Hair Spray.
Rachel McAdams at the premier of To The Wonder
At the screening of To The Wonder, Rachel McAdams, who stars in the movie with Ben Affleck and Javier Bardem, donned an emerald green Elie Saab gown complemented by a luscious French braid. Celebrity hairstylist Thomas Dunkin for Sebastian Professional crafted the shiny but textured updo. He first applied Sebastian Professional Stylixir to Rachel’s damp hair before a straight blow out. For added texture, he used Sebastian Professional Microweb Fiber on the length of the hair, concentrating on the crown. He then twisted her hair into a French plait and secured with bobby pins followed by a spritz of Sebastian Professional Trilliant for a light hold.
