Gemma Arterton’s ‘Byzantium’ Toronto Film Festival Premiere Hair

Gemma Arterton attended the premiere of her new movie, Byzantium at the Toronto Film Festival on Sunday in an old school Hollywood Antonio Berardi gown.

And while the Bond actress kept her makeup classic too, with a glamorous cat’s eye and Bordeaux lips, hairstylist Alex Polillo took a more relaxed approach to her hair, opting for a gorgeous beachy wave.

He spoke to us about how he achieved this laid back look:

‘To start I misted her hair with a saltwater spray (try Charlotte Ronson’s A Perfect Mess Beach Hair) and split it into four equal sections. I then braided each section loosely and secured the braids at the bottom.’

‘Next I used a hairdryer to dry the braids and also to give some heat to set the waves. After the hair was completely dry and had cooled down, I unbraided the sections and shook out her hair.’

‘I touched up the super crazy pieces with a large barrel curling iron to give it more of a languid look and then used some Leonor Greyl Eclat Naturel styling cream to piece out the texture.’

‘I finished off the look with some Frederik Fekkai Sheer Hold hairspray.’

Hailee Steinfeld’s Hair & Beauty Secrets

She’s only fifteen years old, but she’s already a favourite with the fashion set.

And Hailee Steinfeld’s secret to success is her stylist and hair and make-up team who keep her looking chic while always keeping her tender years in mind.

Make-up artist Nina Park described how she achieved Hailee’s red-carpet look to us for the Erin by Erin Fetherston Spring 2012 presentation: ‘We decided to go for a bronzy, smoky look on Hailee.’

‘For the eyes we used Dior 5 Couleurs Iridescent Eyeshadow Palette in Leather, MAC Fluidline eyeline in Blacktrack on the eyelids and I also used some Kevyn Aucoin The Eye Pencil Primatif in Basic Black on the waterline.’

‘On her cheeks I used both Vincent Longo La Riviera Sun Bronzer and a Laura Geller Ombre Baked Blush in Pink Blossom and finally some Kevyn Aucoin The Creamy Glow in Pravella on her lips.’

Hairstylist Charley Brown said: ‘When working with Hailee we wanted to create a style with a lot of texture, but nothing too forced or coiffed.’

‘To begin I used the Nalu iron by R Session Tools and Topstyler curlers by InStyler to give a natural texture having each curl roll in its own shape to give healthy effortless fresh texture.’

‘I prepped the hair with Hamadi Shea Spray along with Nourishing Dry Ends Serum from Dove Style+Care collection. To hold and finish we spritzed on some Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray.’

‘The look turned out age-appropriate yet sophisticated and gorgeous – Just like Hailee!’

Kate Hudson’s ‘Venetian Goddess’ Venice Film Festival Hair

Kate Hudson made a triumphant return to the red carpet last week at the Venice Film Festival. We spoke to her long-time hair stylist David Babaii about the behind-the-scenes preparation that went into her ‘Venetian Goddess’ inspired looks.

‘The Venice Film Festival was a lot of fun and it also marked my 10 year anniversary working with Kate. She’s my boho princess, she’s just so cool and sexy but also down to earth so the hair was all about keeping it effortless. For all her looks we went for something real women could do at home – something loose and approachable.’

‘First I washed Kate’s hair and blew it out using a few drops of IT&LY’s Pure Water Drops Serum for a bit of polish. Kate has really curly hair so I blowdry it to get it smooth and then I put the waves that I want back in using a curling iron with a two inch barrel..It’s more of a bend than a wave.’

‘Then I like to use a bit of IT&LY’s Pure Definition Hair Spray for that day old look. While I like a bit of chaos in the hair, I always want the roots to be perfect so my trick is to spray a bit more hairspray onto a toothbrush and smooth it along the roots.’

‘My favourite look for Kate was when we put it up – but not perfectly up. I put a lot of texture through it (try IT&LY’s Pure Volumizing and moisturizing texturizer) and then pinned it up in the back using only five pins. Again it was loose and kind of chaotic.’

The IT&LY’s Purity line is cruelty free and contains a unique Desert Blend containing vegetable extracts and protein from Agave, Yucca and Prickly Pears plants to hydrate protect against UV rays.

Nikki Reed’s ‘Do Something Awards’ Beachy Chignon

Nikki Reed is fast becoming a red-carpet favourite thanks to Hollywood power stylist Jessica Paster.

The ‘Twilight’ star attended the Do Something Awards in Santa Monica last week looking completely on trend beauty-wise with strong natural eyebrows and nude lips.

Hair stylist Mara Roszak, whose clients include Emma Stone, Mila Kunis and Zoe Saldana, gave us the lowdown on how she achieved Nikki’s beachy chignon.

“Dry the hair and part in the middle. Then spray Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray all over the hair, twist the front sections on both sides and pin in place. This adds a nice texture to the hair.

“Let the hair dry with the Surf Spray in it, then, to add a bit more fluff and texture I also used Serge Normant Meta Revive Dry Shampoo all over.

“Next, pull the remaining hair low to one side, twist into a loose bun shape and pin in place. Twist in the front sections, allow a few pieces to fall out around the face and pull the rest back into the bun and pin up.

“Finally, spray all over with Elnett hairspray.”

Kate Beckinsale’s ‘Total Recall’ Promo Tour Hair

British beauty Kate Beckinsale has been consistently wowing us on the red carpet with her flawless skin and fabulous hair.

Tinseltown colourist Tracey Cunningham, who is also responsible for co-star Jessica Biel’s pretty ombre locks, created Kate’s new look for the ‘Total Recall’ promo tour.

Tracey said: “Kate is the classic brunette beauty. I love the golden chestnut brown we created for her. We rarely do highlights but I went for it this time. The result? Perfection.”

Meanwhile, stylist Mara Roszak created a range of looks for Kate throughout the ‘Total Recall’ press junket from undone updos to glamorous retro waves. Mara gave us the scoop on her ‘must-have’ products to create any style.

Greyl Voluforme Hairspray – It’s a great lightweight hairspray that can be brushed through and moulded, yet still gives the hair a great hold.

Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray – A “texturizer” for the hair. It makes the hair feel like you’ve spent a day at the beach.

Batiste Dry Shampoo – It’s not only great for second-day hair, but also for styling! It gives the hair a great voluminous fluffy texture, perfect for updos.

Phyto Phytovolume Spray – A must-have for blow-drying hair. Everyone benefits from a little lift at the roots, and that’s exactly what this product does without weighing the hair down.

Greyl Eclat Natural – It’s the perfect lightweight cream to use on dry hair, to break up the style and calm frizz.

Jessica Biel’s ‘Total Recall’ Promo Tour Hair

Jessica Biel has been pounding the red carpet hard the last few weeks promoting her new movie ‘Total Recall’, and at each event she has been perfectly coiffed thanks to colourist Tracey Cunningham and hairstylist Adir Abergel.

Tracey, whose A-list clientele includes Drew Barrymore, Emma Stone and Charlize Theron, said: “I’m really happy with the way Jessica’s hair has turned out.”

“I used a new line of hair colour from Redken called Chromatics that is ammonia-free and doesn’t compromise the integrity of hair…..She looks great and the ombre is perfect for summer.”

Adir Abergel decided to trim Jessica’s fringe to emphasize her eyes during the press junket. “Before, her bangs were rounded and very ’60s,” Adir said. “I cut them straight across and made them a little shorter to open up her eyes. It gives them more of an edge.”

To beat the heat, instead of blowing out Biel’s bangs, Abergel let them air-dry and separate naturally., “I used a big brush to dust it along her roots, and ran it through her bangs with my fingers,” he said.

“It soaked up the oil and added to the piecey texture without me having to use a lot of product.”

He finished with a light spritz of Frederick Fekkai Coiff Sheer Hold Hairspray.
