Copy Kat Dennings's Red Lip and Loose Waves

Copy Kat Dennings's Red Lip and Loose Waves


At London premiere of Thor: The Dark World, Kat Dennings gave us a lesson in classic beauty, teaming a creamy red lip with perfect skin; bold brows; neutral eye shadow; and soft, modern waves in her hair. It's an easy look to copy provided you go slowly, starting with a matte base to ensure your skin looks as flawless as possible. Fill your brows in next, and then build up a light smoky eye using mid-browns and shimmering pale bronze. Top with plenty of black mascara, and then turn your attention to those lips. A lip liner is essential to keep red lipstick in place; use it all over the lips instead of just around the edges, and it'll act like a glue for the colour itself (plus, you'll never end up with visible lip line if the lipstick wears off). Apply the lipstick in two coats, blotting in between. As for your hair, use a wide-barrel tong or iron to create natural-looking waves on sections of various sizes, or, if you're lucky enough to have naturally wavy hair, let it dry naturally, and use Kerastase gloss appeal to smooth away any frizz.

On Trend Colour


Muted Pastel Violet

This color carries a mix of delicate floral beauty and weedy toughness. The muted pastel red violet is unusual but on trend, and less expected than plain pink or blue. Try it alone, weave it through a deep brown base, or add a few violet tips to a pale blonde. However you use it, this stand out shade is sure to get noticed. Read on for the professional formulation and application tips.
Tips: Pre-lighten strands to a level 10 before applying the tone. If the hair is very porous, use less P mix to prevent ashiness. If using as a highlight, pair with a deep brown shade that has violet undertones, like Goldwell Topchic 5BP, 4BP, or 5RB.
Formula: (On pre-lightened level 10 hair)
Goldwell Colorance 3 parts 7PK + 1 part P Mix with Colorance Acid Lotion.
