Golden Globes Glamour: January Jones

january jones golden globes 2010

Celebrity makeup artist Rachel Goodwin created a classy look for actress January Jones at the 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards last night in Los Angeles.

Rachel gave us the scoop on her inspiration for January’s look and how she created it:

“January’s Golden Globes makeup was all about taking a fresh approach to the classic red lip.”

“I used Le Blanc de CHANEL under her base to create luminous ‘glowing from the inside’ porcelain skin, then treated her lips with CHANEL Hydramax +Active Lip Treatment before applying CHANEL Rouge Coco Lip Colour in Paris- a gorgeous garnet red from a new lipstick line launching in March. I painted the finest black line on her upper lid with CHANEL Automatic Liquid Eyeliner in Noir and shaded under her eyes with CHANEL Intense Eye Pencil in Graphite in the outer corners. I finished her look by layering lots of different false eyelashes then added Exceptionnel de CHANEL Noir Obscur Mascara over the top for an intense black lash line.”

January Jones’ dramatic hair was created by top celebrity stylist Mark Townsend, introduced a new, modern
take on red carpet style.

Inspired by her gorgeous black Lanvin dress, Townsend created a head-turning look that was boldly accessorized with a sleek black ribbon headband.

“As soon as I saw the dress I knew I wanted to put her hair up,” said Townsend, “and I think that adding the satin ribbon as a headband gave a classic French twist with a very modern edge.”

I started by applying a small amount of Moroccanoil® Treatment to January’s damp hair and blow-dried it with a round brush.  This unique argan oil-infused formula gives the hair amazing shine and silky finish, an essential to the look I had in mind.

When the hair was dry, I took a dollop of Moroccanoil® Hydrating Styling Cream into my hands and then finger combed the hair to give a soft hold and add even more shine and leave the hair extremely smooth.

Finally, I gathered the hair into a French twist and secured with about 10 bobby pins. To give her a progressive, chic look I used satin ribbon as a headband.”

Get the Look: Rachel Weisz at The Lovely Bones Premiere

rachel weisz chanel rouge allure laque

Actress Rachel Weisz looked lovely at the premiere of The Lovely Bones in Los Angeles on Monday night.

Celebrity makeup artist Kara Yoshimoto Bua created these bold red lips and shimmery eyes for Rachel. Here’s what Kara said about the look she created:

“I was inspired by the colour of Rachel’s dress which was calling out for a
perfectly red lip! I chose the semi-matte CHANEL Rouge Allure Laque in
Dragon. I love this shade because it is a very pigmented blue true red,
perfect with Rachel’s fair skin, and can be worn very sheer yet give vivid
colour.

I wanted shimmery soft eyes to be tonal with the colour of the dress so a
not to compete with the lips. CHANEL Quadra Eye Shadow in Murano has the
most beautiful greenish-grey shimmers that accent Rachel’s dark hair and
brown eyes. CHANEL Blush Duo Tweed Effect in Tweed Rose gives her a soft
hint of colour in the apples of her cheeks. Finally, CHANEL Inimitable
Mascara
in Noir-Black opens up her  eyes by lengthening and separating her
already thick lashes without any clumps!”
