How-To: Ugly Betty's Beautiful SAG Awards Makeup Look

BellaSugar — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 16:00:14 -0800

God bless America. On Sunday evening, America Ferrera positively glowed on the red carpet - and not just because she has such amazing skin.

Her Monique Lhullier dress was demure, feminine, and fit all of her curves in the right places. Her hair was soft and her fresh and glamorous makeup look was created with Lancôme products by celebrity makeup artist Vanessa Scali.

Face: Begin with clean, well-moisturized skin. Add a touch of primer and smooth over the skin, then add some concealer and blend well. Next, cover your face and neck with foundation for a smooth finish.
Cheeks: Since America has a nice olive tone to her skin, you can skip the bronzer if you have a similar complexion. For this look, just add a touch of Magique Blush in Cinnamon Glaze to the apples of your cheeks and blend well with a big fluffy brush.
Eyes: Vanessa used neutral colors from the Couture Warms and Stylish Neutrals Palette to create a soft monochromatic look. Next, she applied Artliner Precision Point Eyeliner in Noir to her upper lashes to make America’s eyes pop. Lastly, she used a mascara base called CILS Booster XL before coating her lashes twice with High Définicils High Definition Mascara.
Lips: Vanessa opted for a soft burgundy-colored lip for America. She first applied a matte, waterproof lip pencil called Le Lipstique in Raisinberry and then she coated her lips with Color Fever Gloss in On Fire for shine and luminosity.

How-To: Christina Applegate's SAG Awards Hairstyle

BellaSugar — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 11:00:35 -0800

For the 2008 Screen Actors Guild Awards, Samantha Who nominee Christina Applegate arrived on the red carpet looking very old Hollywood. Celebrity hair stylist Adir Abergel created her gorgeous sparkly side-swept chignon using all Fekkai products. Her makeup was pale and flawless with lined black eyes and red lips. Plus, her gown was so pretty that she made FabSugar's best-dressed list!

For more information about the products and techniques that Adir used to create this unkempt updo, read more.

Step 1: Since creating texture is key to this kind of look, begin by applying Fekkai Coiff Shape and Set Mist all over the hair from roots to ends. Next, blow-dry hair and finger comb through.
Step 2: Then, take a one-inch barrel curling iron, and curl two-inch sections of your hair, choosing random pieces all over your head. You do not have to curl every hair, only about two-thirds (since you are trying to create an uneven texture).
Step 3: Rub a dime-size amount of Fekkai Coiff Nonchalant in your palms and gently rub it all over your hair. This will create a soft hold.
Step 4: Use your fingers to hand rake your hair into a low side ponytail. Secure with a hair elastic at the nape of your neck, leaving the ponytail loose and slightly messy. Lastly, twist your ponytail to create a messy chignon and secure with bobby pins. Then, mist your entire head with Fekkai Sheer Hold hair spray.

BellaSugar — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 14:00:48 -0800

Last night, Becki Newton arrived at the 2008 SAG Awards looking like an ethereal beauty. Dressed in a long, white tiered-beaded dress, she let her clean, fresh face take center stage. Since so many of you loved her look, I've decided to break down her makeup for you to recreate at home. Also, I wouldn't want you to miss out on any of the other beauty looks from the show, so be sure to check them out.

FACE: Begin with clean, conditioned skin. The first thing you'll want to do is add a primer to your face. Something like Eve Pearl's Priming Moisturizer not only will create a smooth canvas but it's also very nourishing. Next, add a touch of concealer under your eyes and to any areas that are red or blotchy. Finish with a creamy foundation such as DuWop Revolotion Face in Laura C, which is lightweight and natural looking. Lastly, you can dust a little bit of powder over your skin, but be sure to tap the brush so it's not too heavy and blend well. You don't want to look too done up, just polished.
CHEEKS: Next, add a little bit of luminizer to your cheeks, nose, and forehead. Try Lancome's Photonic for a radiant glow. Then, add bronzer and blend well. You want to warm up the skin but not overdo it. Lastly, apply a medium pink blush to the apples of your cheeks and blend outwards. Sephora Blush Me Mono in Meringue Jalouse 2 is a rich, shimmery rose.
EYES: Blend a few neutral-colored shadows together. Chanel Quadra Eye Shadow in Demure is perfect, and you can also use the darkest color as a liner. Finish with two coats of black mascara and add a few false lash pieces just on the ends to open up the eyes. Also, be sure and fill in your brows to match your hair. I really like DuWop Browwow Palette since it's so customizable.
LIPS To achieve this look, apply a pretty pink creamy color like Chanel's Rouge Allure Lipstick in Desirable and top it with a high shine, shimmery light rose gloss such as Bare Escentuals Lip Gloss in Garden. No lip liner is necessary. Now, you're red-carpet ready!

Love It or Hate It? Michelle Pfeiffer's SAG Look

BellaSugar — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 20:03:36 -0800

Michelle is living proof that less is more, as her minimalist look makes her seem vibrant and fresh. Her makeup looks clean, not caked on, and her loose updo flatters her face and dresses up her look. Personally, I think she looks radiant. How about you? Vote on all of the SAG looks here.

Love It or Hate It? America Ferrera's SAG Look

BellaSugar — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 19:48:29 -0800

I love adorable America Ferrera. She definitely exudes a refreshing confidence in her self and shape that is too often missing in young Hollywood these days. And even though she's not showing her freckles this time, she looks young and sophisticated... nothing like her "Ugly" alter-ego. Vote on all of the SAG looks here.

Love It or Hate It? Sophia Bush's SAG Look

BellaSugar — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 19:45:01 -0800

I have to say that Miss Sophia Bush has been looking quite lovely ever since she kicked that jerk Chad to the curb. Tonight is no exception. With her pretty, girly makeup and sophisticated updo, she's looking exceptionally mature and put together - every bit like the gorgeous 25-year old she is. Do you like this look on her?

Love It or Hate It? Jamie-Lynn Sigler's SAG Look

BellaSugar — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 19:41:01 -0800

At first glance, it seems like Jamie-Lynn Sigler has gone for a close, cropped cut. No dice, though; it's just an updo with tiny face-framing fringe. It's a little tough to see here, but she has some great false lashes on - they're long, but not dense. I'm not sure what to think of this hairstyle. I'd almost like it more if it were a pixie cut, but with this kind of updo, a few tendrils might have softened the look. What do you think?

Love It or Hate It? Teri Hatcher's SAG Look

BellaSugar — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 19:15:15 -0800

Teri Hatcher sure looks happy to be at the SAG Awards! Her lip color doesn't do much for me, but her hair is pretty and simple, and I always like a good cat-eye. What do you think of this playing-it-safe (but still well-done) look?

Love It or Hate It? Marcia Cross's SAG Look

BellaSugar — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 19:10:54 -0800

This look on Marcia Cross is a welcome departure from her usually severely-styled character, Bree, on Desperate Housewives. Plus, I love it when redheads wear complementary jewel tones-it makes their hair really stand out. Here, Marcia lets her hair and dress do the talking by keeping her makeup fresh and subtle. What do you think of the combination?
