Rose does Joe Fresh! Michelle loves bright nails! Our 4 beauty picks from the Screen Actors Guild Awards

It seemed like many were playing it safe on the red carpet at the Screen Actors Guild Awards this weekend. The dresses were pretty, but there was nothing overtly jaw-dropping, and in terms of beauty the trend seemed to lean towards keeping it simple. Dare we say that the stars (and their stylists!) are holding back until the Oscars? We’ll have to wait until February 26 to find out. But until then, here are four looks that managed to stand out:

Rose Byrne does Joe Fresh! »
Michelle Williams’ bright nails! »
Ashlee Simpson’s short and sculpted hair! »
Dianna Agron’s fishtail braid! »

Spotted: Carey Mulligan does the kitten flick

It would have been very easy for Carey Mulligan to do a full-on cat eye with this Roland Mouret dress—it begs for retro accompaniments. However, at last week’s London Film Critics’ Circle Awards Mulligan opted for the kitten flick, a trend that’s been gaining momentum since Dolce &Gabbana showed it on their Spring 2012 runway. Mulligan keeps the rest of her look very simple—almost too simple!—with a light wash of rosy lipgloss and a hint of blush on the apples of her cheeks. What do you think? Does Mulligan appear too “daytime” for a red carpet, or does it work?

Get the look! We have the secrets behind Lea Michele, Emma Stone, Kristen Wiig, and Zooey Deschanel’s hair and makeup from the Golden Globes red carpet!

Here’s the thing about award shows: you don’t realize how versatile a starlet’s hair and makeup are until you see all the photos the next day. Because after the show ends, the parties begin—and while changing an outfit between events is common, hair and makeup usually stay the same.

Not only that, it’s always impressive to see how well an updo holds or a smoky eye lasts throughout the night, proving that product and technique really do make all the difference! We got the low down from some of the stylists responsible for making the starlets look their best at the Golden Globes—and we’re sharing their tips with you!

We show you how to get Olivia Wilde’s textured short hair and two-tone smoky eyes

Olivia Wilde cut quite a few inches off her hair during the holidays and debuted the new style—complete with ombré highlights—this weekend at the Palm Springs International Film Festival. It’s easy to see why the ombré trend is one that won’t go away anytime soon: done right, it’s always flattering. Wilde looks undoubtedly modern and fresh, and her caramel-coloured strands add another layer of dimension to her already glossy, textured hair. Best of all, the look allows her two-tone smoky eye makeup to really stand out.

If there was one thing we took away from the Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol red carpet last week, it was how stunning Katie Holmes is. How long did you spend looking at the above picture before you realized that her hair is just in a regular old ponytail? Holmes makes a strong case for the importance of a great base: her frizzy, everyday hair is totally forgiven on the red carpet thanks to her flawless complexion. So, before you start playing around with new makeup scored at Boxing Day sales, go back to the basics. It’s time to address the skin care and beauty routine for your base!

The red carpet brought out three great hairstyles this past week: Rooney Mara’s side-parted bangs, Scarlett Johansson’s retro updo, and Sandra Bullock’s long, shiny locks. On a scale of easy to impossible, Bullock’s style is one you can achieve as quickly as it takes for your flatiron to heat up—whereas you’d need a second set of hands (or more!) to master Johansson’s pinned-up curls. Check out our tips for trying each of these looks at home and let us know which is your favourite on Twitter and on Facebook! Read more »
