Gorgeous high-end dress were all over the red carpet at this year’s Primetime Emmys. When mixed with affordable hairstyles, it’s a match made in style heaven. TRESemmé Celebrity Stylist, Mara Rozsak, did this when she created a look for actress Mila Kunis that was so affordable, we couldn’t keep the details to ourselves. These are her stylist secrets on how she created the the sexy, budget-friendly look.

Apply TRESemmé Anti-Frizz Secret Smoothing Crème ($4.75, drugstore.com) to damp hair, part to one side, and blow dry with a medium-sized round brush (try Sephora Brand Medium Round Boar Brush, $16, sephora.com)

 

Curl hair with a 1 1/4 inch barrel curling iron (We recommend this one by Hot Tools, $29.99, misikko.com) and spray entire head with TRESemmé Frizz Shield hairspray .

 

Pull hair into a low ponytail, and tie with an elastic leaving a small section of hair out on one side to frame the face.

Wrap a tiny section of hair around the elastic to hide the tie. Brush out curls with fingers and gently back comb for a messier texture.

 

 

 

Spray all over with TRESemmé TRES Two Hair Spray ($4.75, drugstore.com) to keep the look in place all night.

Ashley Greene worked the red carpet as the fashion correspondent for this year’s MTV Video Music Awards. We think she did a great job, but of course we had to get the scoop on her glamorous hairstyle. Styled by Pantene Celebrity Stylist, Danilo, Ashley’s long, wavy locks offered a retro feel with contemporary glamour.

Here’s how you can recreate the look:

1. Starting on wet hair, Danilo sprayed the Pantene Pro-V Root Lifter Gel ($4.99, walgreens.com) on her crown to prime her hair for a voluminous shape on top.

We also recommend Oscar Blandi Volumizing Spray ($18, sephora.com) and Suave Professionals Volumizing Root Lifter Spray Gel ($2.99, drugstore.com)

 

 

2. Since Ashley was stationed outside on the red carpet, Danilo combed through Pantene Pro-V Restoratives Frizz Control Ultra Smoothing Balm ($5.17, amazon.com) from the mid-shaft of her hair to the ends to keep it looking sleek and frizz-free despite the humidity.

Other frizz-controlling balms to try: PHYTO ‘Phytodéfrisant’ Botanical Hair Relaxing Balm ($26, nordstrom.com) and Carol’s Daughter Hair Balm ($12, sephora.com)

3. After applying the balm, Danilo blow-dried her hair straight.

4. Danilo then pulled the top half of her hair back, using his classic French Lacing technique to give her healthy volume on top while leaving a dramatic side part for contrast.

5. He then used a large iron to create her loose flowing curls underneath, combing when necessary.

6. To hold the look in place, Danilo sprayed her hair with the Pantene Pro-V Texture Hairspray ($4.49, drugstore.com) for movable texture while she worked the carpet.

American Idol winner and Mark Cosmetics rep (yes, she held parties and sold products!), Jordin Sparks, recently filmed the video for her latest single “SOS” (Let the Music Play). She is as gorgeous as ever, and her eyes definitely are the focus of this look.

 

To create it, Jordin’s makeup artist, Myla, wanted the look to exude a “warm, nude effect”. Myla used I-Mark Custom Pick Eye Shadow ($4.50, meetmark.com) in Magic from the lash, upward.

 

She then applied the the Custom Pick Eye Shadow in Nomadic on the inner corner of the eyes, with Tough Luxe Custom Pick Eye Shadow on the creases.

 

 

To finish it off, Eyemarker Color On Line ($5.50, meetmark.com) in Jet was applied on the top and bottom lash lines and blended well to avoid harsh lines. The look was finished by applying mark Scandalash Hook Up Mascara in Blacklash.

Star Trek beauty Zoe Saldana always looks so fresh-faced and glowing without a hint of oily shine, we had to find out how she does it. Turns out, she picked up her favorite beauty tip on the set of one of her first movies, Crossroads (also starring Britney Spears): “Makeup artist, Kimberly Green, taught me that sometimes, instead of putting on more makeup, you can use blotting papers to take away shine.”

We couldn’t agree more. Adding makeup throughout the day not only can create a fake, cakey-looking complexion, but it can lead to clogged pores and unsightly blemishes. Try any of the following 3 brand’s blotting papers, and continue to look shine-free sans added makeup.

 

MAC Blot Film is made from a patented material that absorbs oil without disturbing makeup. We love that each is an extra large size, so one is enough for our whole face. 30 films. $12, nordstrom.com

 

 

 

The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Facial Botting Tissues remove excess oil and contain skin clarifying tea tree oil to aid in keeping skin blemish-free. 65 tissues. $10, thebodyshop-usa.com

 

 

 

Clean & Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets are inexpensive, absorb oil, and leave your makeup looking fresh. 50 sheets. $5.29, drugstore.com

When it comes to retro-glamour and classic makeup looks, Dita Von Teese has made her mark in the beauty and fashion world. With her distinct style, the celeb has many wondering how she does it. We are here to share a few of her beauty secrets (which really aren’t a secret since she did post these on her Twitter page).

 

When it comes to foundation, Dita isn’t a snob. She loves using L’Oréal True Match in N1 ($10.95, drugstore.com).

 

 

 

 

To give her fair cheeks a flush of color, Dame and The Perfect Cheek both by MAC ($18.50, maccosmetics.com) are the ones she wears most.

 

 

 

 

We all know Dita loves to rock a red pout, so what is her favorite shade? “…I like MAC Ruby Woo” ($14, maccosmetics.com).

 

 

In addition to her lips, red is her go-to shade for her nails. Essie’s Fishnet Stockings ($8, nordstrom.com and MAC Rougemarie ($12, maccosmetics.com) are her top picks.
