Winning Sundance Beauty Looks

We may use this frigid weather as an excuse to rock the careless no-makeup/messy-hair look. However, we should really look towards the celebs at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival for  snow bunny chic inspiration. No matter he weather, they put their best faces forward. Here's how one woman kept Chloe Grace Moretz and Ashley Greene looking haute.

Chloe Grace Moretz did not disappoint at her Laggies film premiere with a textured, fashion inspired topknot. Hairstylist, Kerrie Urban started by spraying Moretz’s damp hair with Leonor Greyl’s Voluforme in sections and then blow-dried it with a large round brush.

After loosely combing all of her hair back, she pulled it into a high pony and teased it before wrapping it into a bun and slightly pulling it apart.  She even pulled out wispy pieces, to finish off the loosely textured look.

As a woman of many talents, Kerrie Urban also worked as  Ashley Greene's makeup artist to create a fresh look for the Wish I was Here premiere. It all began by creating an skin even tone with the help of  Chanel Aqua Lumiere and Antonym Baked Foundation in Light.

To brighten Greene’s eyes, Urban worked with Antonym’s Certified Organic Quattro Eye Shadow Palette in Noisette.  First, she swept a layer of pale gold across Greene’s lids from lash line to the crease then added a brown shimmer shade in the outer corners of her eyes and crease line. For liner, Urban used a waterproof black eye pencil on the top lash line and smudged a light line of a matte brown shade from the Quattro Eye Shadow Palette on the bottom. Urban finished it off with a few coats of mascara and a few individual lashes.  The pop of bright raspberry on Greene’s lips help to accentuate the artistry on her lips.

Sundance FunDance with Dove

I couldn't think of a better way to put new products to the test than to be placed in a climate where I'd need to use them the most.  Enter Dove and their new Advanced Hair Series Oxygen Moisture collection.  While I would have obviously tried out the products in the comfort of my own apartment (these actually apply to my hair type: fine and flat), Dove decided to take me and some of my beauty editor friends to Sundance to experience them in the cold, dry air.  YES!

I'd be lying if I didn't tell you that snowmobiling with my friend Phil Picardi of Teen Vogue was the highlight of the trip.  Check out this pic.  But a close second was getting a blowout next to Meredith, (Kate Flannery), from The Office at the Dove pop up salon in Park City.  My fiance, Joe and I are obsessed with The Office and firmly believe that Meredith and Dwight make the show.  Of course, I had to talk to her.
