The Secret Behind the Oscar Red Carpet Glow, Get It At Home

Spotted: Halle Berry walking into Kinara Skin Clinic and Spa in Los Angeles, CA to prep for the Oscars.  An email I received from the spa's PR rep stated, "The spa literally closes for celebrities the days leading up to the Oscars."  No wonder other famous faces that frequently visit for their signature "Red Carpet Facial" include Eva Mendez, Emily Blunt, Amy Poehler and Sofia Vergara.  The three step facial isn't unattainable though!  Even Emily Blunt does it at home sometimes.  Here's the scoop: The Kinara Red Carpet Facial is fifty minutes and costs $160 at the spa.  Known for giving an instant glowing complexion by starting with a peel to turn cells over revealing fresh, brighter skin, then neutralizing and revitalizing and finishing with a mineral mask that increases cell renewal.  Some celebs treat themselves to the facial regularly for maintenece and others pop in just before big events.

At home, Kinara created a Red Carpet Facial Kit that mimics the facial so carefully even celebrities use it when they can't make it into the spa.  You can get the kit for $145 at shop.kinaraspa.com.

Hair & Makeup Secrets from Celebrity Glam Squads

One of the reasons I love my job is because I'm lucky enough to have Ashley Greene's stylist on my speed dial.  Hey, you never know when you may need cover worthy texturized waves.  Right?  The geniuses behind red carpet hair and makeup looks are who I consider celebrities, really, really talented ones.  I spoke to a few of my faves who work on stars like Anne Hathaway, Jessica Alba, Sofia Vergara, and Jennifer Aniston (to name a few) to get their biggest secrets. My styling trick is that I use a curling iron on hair in smaller sections. Then, after curling the entire head I come back with a flat iron. This creates an amazing texture and smooth sleekness for the hair. - Ted Gibson

My secret eyeshadow trick, whenever I do a big hairdo I will ask my clients makeup artist for an eyeshadow that is close to their natural hair color and fill in their part on the hairline. Especially on brunettes, it makes the hair look fuller and thicker. - Jen Atkin, Celebrity stylist for Clear Scalp & Hair Beauty Therapy

I'm all about layering! To get your makeup last longer, apply liquids and creams first and then powders on top to set them. - Mai Quynh

After preparing your hairstyle take your favorite control hairspray and spray it on our brush.  Then, simply brush it through your hair and distribute evenly over the length of the hair from the roots to the ends. This will allow your style to maintain its bounce and style. - Sascha Breuer

Wrap a small section of hair around a curling iron. After the hair is warmed thoroughly, carefully unwrap the curled hair from the iron and while the section is still warm give it just a light tug. Pulling lightly on the hair allows the wave to settle a bit. This creates that great easy going wave pattern that's cool and easy for summertime! - John D., Tresemme Celebrity Stylist

The trick to looking wide eyed and bushy tailed is this: Chalky White Matte eyeshadow. I use a little with a fluffy eye blender brush and blended it onto the cheek bone and lightlty pulled that into the under eye area.  the final touch was placed on the inner corner of her eyes as well as underneath her lower lash line. - Kate McCarthy, Celebrity Makeup Artist for glominerals

To get truly natural looking beach texture, spritz slightly damp hair with a little bumble and bumble surf spray and section hair into four rough peices. Braid each section and finish drying the braided section with a hairdryer and let cool. When you take the braids out, you will have beautiful but uneven texture that can be pieced out with a little hair creme. - Alex Polillo

Sports Illustrated Model, Chrissy Teigen's Secrets for A Smooth, Summer Bod

Like any man I always pick up the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit magazine to check out the models, but like any woman, I use the photos as inspiration to get beach ready.  Those ladies are beyond gorgeous and I respect them because unlike models you see in fashion publications, they have real curves (of course, in all the right places).  I got the 411 on Sports Illustrated Model, Chrissy Teigen's summer essentials. "I used to steal my fiance's razor, but now I would never," she comments.  "I use the Gilette Venus & Olay Razor, because it keeps my legs really smooth."

After shaving, to get her body beach ready, she swears by cocoa butter and cocoa butter oil.  Loaded with antioxidants, cocoa butter is one of the best moisturizers, because it penetrates through the top layer of the skin.  Added benefits include helping to reduce scars and stretch marks.  No wonder Teigen's skin looks so soft!

To keep her lips as smooth as her bod, she swears by lip conditioner.  "My lips always eat up it up in the summertime," Teigen explains.  "If I don't have any on hand, I use eye cream because it's usually concentrated and good for sensitive areas."
