Get the Look: Selena Gomez's AMA Hair Style in 5 Simple Steps

Selena Gomez's whole look was by far my favorite at the American Music Awards on Sunday night.  She showed off her curves in a low-cut, satin Armani gown, wore a pop of peach on her lips and glamourized her eyes with tons of mascara and silver eyeshadow.  Her hair however, was a show stopper.  Tresemme Celebrity Stylist, John D., was behind the look and filled me in on how to get it in five simple steps. How-to:

1. Towel dry clean hair and comb Tresemme 24 Hour Body Mousse through your strands for even distribution.

2. Create a deep side part over the arch of your brow and blow dry smooth with a round brush.

3. Take the front sections of your hair on both sides and curl them in one inch sections using a one inch barrel.

4. Curl the bangs away from your face and continue curling the rest of your hair horizontally.

5. After curls cool, spritz a boar bristle brush with a finishing spray and brush the curls gently until they fall into a nice wave pattern.

 

How To Rock Selena Gomez's MTV VMA Makeup Look

Selena Gomez looked stunning last night at the MTV Video Music Awards as she had an honorable role to play, hosting the pre-show.  While I thought her black mini and updo made her look a little too mature (Britney anyone?), I like how she kept her makeup natural.  I got the scoop from her makeup artist, Karan Mitchell on how to get the look. "To compliment her lace gown, I went for a classic and clean route with Selena's makeup," Mitchell states.  The look consisted of bronzed skin, smoldering eyes, bold brows and a metallic pink lip.

1. Start with your eyes.  Blend the colors in the Lancome Color Design 5 Pan Palette in Bronze Amour across your lid and up into your crease.

2. Trace your top and bottom inner rims with Lancome Le Stylo EyeLiner in Noir then use two coats of Hypnose Doll Lashes Mascara in So Black on your top lashes and one coat on the bottom.

3.  Brush your brows up to a 45 degree angle and fill them in with Modele Sourcils Brow Groomer in Brunet.  After penciling them in, brush over them again to make sure they're blended.

4. Apply concealor where needed then use an illuminator like Lancome Eclat Miracle Complexion Illuminator all over the face for added glow.  You can mix it into your foundation too if you want more coverage.

5. Using Lancome's Blush Subtil in Sheer Amourose, brush it onto the apples of your cheeks and blend it up into your temples.

6. Line your lips with Lancome Color Fever Gloss in Hibis-Kiss and use Lancome Color Design Lipstick in Fashion Icon.

 

Teen Choice Awards Trend Report: Sleek 'Do's

The 13th annual Teen Choice Awards were held last night in Los Angeles, CA and while most of the young starlettes including Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez and of course Kim and Kourtney Kardashian looked radiant on the blue carpet, I couldn't help but admire the sleek, straight, glossy locks of Ashley Greene, Cameron Diaz and Blake Lively. "Modern, sleek hair is so hot at the moment," exclaims celeb stylist (and the genius behind Ashley Greene's strands) Ted Gibson.

Here's a breakdown on how-to get the look:

1. Spritz a blow drying prep spray like Blow Heat is On Dry Protective Styling Mist onto damp hair and part it exactly where you'd like it to lay.

2. Blow dry with a flat brush, and apply a frizz controlling lotion like Ted Gibson Tame It Shine Lotion from mid-shaft to ends.

3. Flat iron in one to two inch sections all around your head and finish with a light-weight hairspray for a bit of control.
