Best Vamp @ Oscars 2013

Best Vamp: Kim Kardashian

Yummy mummy-to-be Kim K gave oodles of va-va voom with her vampish look; namely a sleek, glossy mane, lashings of lashes and a berry-stained pout.

Keep reading for our step by step on how to get kim's look...

Step 1: Rub a few drops of KEVIN MURPHY YOUNG.AGAIN between your palms, then run your hands down damp hair, from mid-shaft to ends, and comb through.

Step 2: Rough-dry your hair by tousling it with your fingers until it's 80 percent dry.

Step 3: Apply KEVNIN MURPHY GRITTY BUSINESS and part your hair and secure the top layers with clips on both sides. Starting with the loose hair in the back, pull one-inch sections forward with a large, round, mixed-bristle brush as you dry from roots to ends. Unclip the top layers and continue drying this way. (We recommend LATTOUF ROUND BRUSH #3)

Step 4: Once your hair is completely dry, rub a pea-size amount of KEVIN MURPHY EASY RIDER between your fingers, then apply onto ends and over any short, broken hairs around the crown.

Step 5: To finish and lock in place mist with KEVIN MURPHY SESSION SPRAY.

Emma Watson’s Ring of Milkmaids & Bling

 

 

 

 

 

 

The image of a bushy-haired, smugly obtrusive witch may be a fun fad, but it’s not the typecast on which to build a lasting career in the Hollywood Nouveau. So since the end of the Harry Potter franchise, Emma Watson has been busy reinventing her image. She cut her hair into a fashionable, mod-inspired crop; and now she’s the sexy, nefarious bad girl in Sofia Coppola’s new flick, The Bling Ring. Here she shows us how to make a beatnik milkmaid braid upscale and elegant. Keeping hair up and off the face, she raises the profile of her cheekbones and chin, while creating room for her dazzling jewelry to sparkle. The look exemplifies that twines can be used for more than the disheveled elegance of modern street stye; keep them polished, refined, combined with the right ensemble, and braids can also be a special occasion ‘do. For tips on creating milkmaids like Emma’s, see below.

Step: Prep hair with KEVIN MURPHY FRESH HAIR dry shampoo. Layer into hair, shake and tousle with hands, creating a gritty texture with lots of grip –– which is perfect for braiding.

Step: Divide crown into two sections. Loosely braid each of the two sections into its own two-strand entwine. Secure each side with elastic. Grab one of the braids and cross it over the opposite braid. Pin in place. Repeat on the opposite side, creating a polished milkmaid braid.

Step: Mist finished style with KEVIN MURPHY SESSION SPRAY to calm down flyways, add hold and grip.

Rihanna’s Side-Twist Reveals a New Way to Braid

 

With everything from micro to milkmaid adorning our crowning glories, the beatnik elegance of braids has been a styling trend tour de force for several seasons. Now, however, there’s a new twine in town. Wearing it with a 1990s sportswear throwback ensemble, Rihanna’s tumbling, spiraling side-twist presents the perfect option for time-challenged style mavens. A quick to create, chunky, two strand twist that keeps long tresses controlled and away from the face, wear this style to impress your brunch date.

For our step by step how to see below.

 

Step: Liberally layer KEVIN MURPHY FRESH HAIR into dry hair. This will add texture, grit and grip, making it easier for your twist to stay together.
Step: Make a strong side-part and sweep hair across to long side of part. Gather hair in two sections, one taking hair from forward of crown, including bangs; one taking hair from the side and back.
Step: Down the side of the face, neck and shoulder, braid these two sections loosely together. Keep it thick and chunky at the top, moving gradually to a slighter and slighter twine. Secure with elastic. Mist with KEVIN MURPHY SESSION SPRAY for hold and grip.

Sending Shockwaves To Chanel, Kiera Knightley’s Tousled Bob

Concerned by the “overtly sexual” nature of Chanel’s new fragrance ad, prim parents in the UK got the Advertising Standards Authority to ban the commercial from running during children’s programming. Such a shame because they are missing Kiera’s gorgeous, vintage bob. With a whimsical, lightweight, flouncy feel it’s been cut to the nape to build structure and elevation, which heightens the impression of volume. We love how the softly tousled side-sweep drifts elegantly across her eye line, while the length, draped off her sculpted cheekbones, is perfectly placed to frame her pretty face. For tips to creating your own version of the Kiera’s look:

Step: Ask your stylist for a modern interpretation of a vintage bob. Go for a side-swept fringe to draw attention to eyes; get layers to keep it soft and bouncy; and have it hang off the cheekbones for the perfect face frame. If you don’t think your cheekbones can handle the attention, wear it longer. Chin length also works well.

Step: For styling, apply KEVIN MURPHY BODY BUILDER at roots and KEVIN MURPHY FULL AGAIN to the mid-lengths and ends of damp hair and blowdry with LATTOUF ROUND BRISTLE BRUSH for root lift, shape and movement.

Step: Apply mid-lengths and ends with YOUNG AGAIN  Now use a curling iron or wand to softly curl random pieces for a romantic, whimsical finish.

Step: Mist finished style with SESSION SPRAY SPRAY for hold and texture. Using hands, tousle into perfectly imperfect shape.

Justin Timberlake & Jessica Biel Wedding Photo

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel share their wedding photos

The groom serenaded his bride with a song specially written for her as she waltzed down the aisle in a spectacular pink Giambattista Valli gown.

This was the scenario as Hollywood sweethearts Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel tied the knot in an intimate Italian wedding at the magnificent Borgo Egnazia resort in Puglia.

 

Justin, the Sexyback singer, pictured literally jumping for joy, reveals his wedding gift to his love: "I figured if there was something I was going to be able to offer, it would be to sing her down the aisle."

Justin tells how laying his eyes on his bride in her custom petal pink Giambattista Valli Haute Couture gown, for the first time was, "the most beautiful thing I have ever seen." While Jessica describes how she wanted the dress to be, "romance, romance, romance. Kind of whimsical and dramatic."

 

Jessica also opted for a romantic updo for the ceremony, simple, classic and yes romantic.

Jessica Biel’s Perfect Fringe

Jessica Biel is always gorgeous, but this cut shows off her features in a whole new way.  The brow-dusting fringe and soft, piece-y length accentuate her eyes and cheekbones, while the hand-painted highlights brings dimension and brightness to the look. The combination of rich brown, caramel and gold perfectly sets off the fluid lengths of her wavy tresses.

Step: Ask your Lattouf Hair & Day Spa stylist for a razored one-length cut with a square fringe. Ask your colorist for hand-painted highlights along with the mid-shafts and ends, and tailored to the shape of the cut.

Step: Apply styling whip to the entire length for body and moisture. Dry the bangs with a flat brush, wrapping the hair back and forth to create smoothness.

Step: Dry the rest of the hair with fingers to encourage a natural texture. Finish with cream wax for added separation.

J.Lo's Texured High Ponytail

 J. Lo's Textured High Ponytail

We love the versatility of Jennifer Lopez’s locks. Long, thick, and caramel-colored, J. Lo’s hair looks gorgeous when left loose in soft curls, but she can also rock a fierce updo. She recently rocked this messy, textured ponytail, exuding a sexy summer vibe. Dry shampoo is key when creating a similar look, because it adds the perfect amount of texture.

Step: Pulse KMS Hair Play Dry Touh Up through dry hair. Scrunch and tousle hair for body and texture.
Step: Loosely curl hair by wrapping random strands of hair around a curling iron.
Step: Pull hair up into a high ponytail at the crown of the head. Secure with an elastic.
Step: Pull out a small strand of hair from the ponytail and wrap it around the base of the ponytail to cover the elastic. Pin in place.
Step: Reapply KMS Hair Play Dry Touh Up for extra volume and texture.
