Vanessa Hudgens’ has always been a cutie-pie, but in the past several years I’ve seen her take her look up a notch. Once known as the ‘High School Musical’ starlet, this young Hollywood actress is doing her part to continue to be talked about … and for all the right reasons! At Variety’s Power 6th Annual of Youth Presented event she looked equal parts fresh and young mixed with mature style and old Hollywood glamour. It was her darkly lined eyes that really caught my attention. Their precision lining, extending from one corner of the eye to the other, was impeccably done. 

To copy this look you’ll need a thin-tipped eyeliner brush and a gel eyeliner, like Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner. Dip the very tip of the brush into the eyeliner and, using light pressure, apply liner all around the lower and upper lid line. Start light and once you feel you have the perfect base coat, apply a couple more traces to get the shading just right. The trick to this level of lining is in the inner eye fold (nearest the nose) make sure you connect the lower and the upper lids right at the end point and don’t extend the line too far, to avoid a cat eye look.

Cat-Deeley-Milkmaid-Braid.jpgIs Cat Deeley one of the most gorgeous women on the planet, or what? The So You Think You Can Dance host stepped out for the Fox Fall Eco-Casino Party with the coolest milkmaid braid. We love the super-thick construction of the braids that are wrapped around her head—it’s so Heidi, isn’t it?

If you’re skilled with braiding hair yourself, this is actually not too tough of a look to master. Simply part your hair down the middle, create a ponytail with each section and braid it up and over the crown, securing at the back of the head with bobby pins.

If, on the other hand, braiding doesn’t come as naturally to you, there’s another way! If you live in New York, head to the super-luxe John Barrett Braid Bar, located inside Bergdorf Goodman. For $50, a skilled stylist will create a milkmaid braid for you in a matter of minutes. (Or, if you want your hair washed, dried and braided, it will set you back $125.)

In any case, Cat’s milkmaid braid is youthful, fun and fresh—and absolutely gorgeous to boot!

While some celebs took home the coveted Moon Man award at the MTV Video Music Awards last week, it was Rashida Jones’ glowing makeup job that was worthy of accolade. Jamie Greenberg, mark’s celebrity makeup artist, explains how she achieved the soft, warm glow on Rashida, “I buffed mark Touch & Glow Shimmer Cream Cubes All Over Face Palette on her cheeks, and kissed them with mark Just Pinched Instant Blush Tint in Cheeky. I set the makeup by dusting her face and decollate with mark Bronze Pro Bronzing Powder in Bronze.”

For Zoe Saldana’s appearance at ‘The Words’ premiere in Los Angeles, celebrity hairstylist, Mark Roszak, gave her tousled, wavy style. According to Roszak, this look can be copied in just three easy steps.

Step 1 is to prep and texturize. Work a mousse, like John Frieda Frizz-Ease Curl Reviver Styling Mousse, through towel-dried hair. And if you’re still seeking volume, spray roots with a texturizing or volumizing spray.

Step 2 is to secure the style. While hair is still damp, put it in a loose braid and then let it dry. Give hair the time it needs to dry completely and then take out the braid. Use your fingers to break up the waves by running them through your hair. The goal is to break up the waves into chunks, not to actually comb through hair. To add height to your hair, use your fingers to gently tease the hair at the crown. Then separate hair at the sides of the face into two groups and pull them from the side to the back of the head. Place one section over the other and secure the hair in the back with bobby pins. Continue to section hair and secure it in back until you have a full ponytail formed. Let strands fall naturally out and frame the face as you work your way back.

Step 3 is to polish and perfect. To complete this “undone” look you’ll want to spritz a bit of hairspray onto hair. Roszak recommends misting John Frieda Frizz-Ease Moisture Barrier Firm-Hold Hair Spray onto hair in an “even, all-round motion.”

Kate Hudson has a style and class all her own. She can effortlessly be boho-chic or perfectly polished in the blink of an eye. But the pièce de résistance of this look was her eyebrows. Perfectly shaped and shaded to her hair color, they draw attention to her beautiful light eyes and don’t overwhelm her face. Best of all they have a great curvy arch and aren’t too thin or too thick.
