Enter to win these L’Oreal Paris products

By Mercedes Sanchez

Though we think her dress was just OK, Jennifer Lopez’s hair and makeup were flawless at the Oscars. We have the inside scoop from Celebrity Hairstylist Lorenzo Martin and Makeup Artist Mary Phillips. Read below to see how they accomplished J. Lo’s look and find out how you can enter to win some of these productsGiveaway information can be found at the bottom of the post.

HAIR

The look I created for Jennifer was inspired by the 60′s. I wanted a gorgeous hairstyle that defined the graceful refined sophistication of that time to complement Jennifer’s beautiful dress,” says Lorenzo Martin.

First, Lorenzo sprayed L’Oréal Paris EverStyle Volume Root Lifting Spray at the roots of Jennifer’s clean, damp hair to add extra volume before blow-drying it with a round medium-sized boar bristle brush.

After Jennifer’s hair was completely dry, Lorenzo distributed a dime-sized amount of L’Oréal Paris EverStyle Strong Hold Defining Gel evenly throughout her hair. Next, he pulled her hair into a high ponytail, securing it with a metal-free elastic rubber band. From there, Lorenzo split the ponytail into four different sections and teased each one. Next, Lorenzo took one of the four sections and looped the piece into the ponytail, securing it into place with bobby pins. He followed this step with the three other sections of hair – pinning each one in different directions (front, back and side to side) to create a complete bun. To ensure there were no loose hairs or flyways and to maintain a sleek look, he added a bit of L’Oréal Paris EverStyle Smooth & Shine Serum. Lastly, to finish off this effortless yet elegant style, he used L’Oréal Paris Elnett Satin Extra Strong Hold Unscented Hairspray lightly around all the hair.

MAKEUP

First, Mary highlighted Jennifer’s natural glow by mixing L’Oreal Paris True Match Super-Blendable Makeup in Sun Beige with LaMer The Reparative Body Lotion to create a dewy but even and  smooth canvas.

For the eyes, Mary used two shadows to achieve Jennifer’s sultry eye: L’Oreal Paris Infallible 24H Eye Shadow in Eternal Black and Iced Latte.

Jennifer’s is wearing L’Oreal Paris Infallible 8HR Le Gloss in Coral sands.

Oscars 2012: Best Hair

27 02 2012

Who had the best hair at The Oscars?

By Mercedes Sanchez

Who do you think had the best hair?

1. What’s not to like about Penelope Cruz‘s classic updo? We love the finger waves and it reminds us of old Hollywood.

2. Jennifer Lopez‘s high bun suited her well. It’s a traditional style for the Oscars that never gets old.

3. Esperanza Spalding rocked her ‘fro with a gorgeous strapless gown.

4. Voila Davis was almost unrecognizable with her natural hair. We’re so glad she left the wig at home. She looks so much younger!

5. Michelle Williams‘ short cut was flawless. We love her minimal makeup and jewels.

6. Kristen Wigg went for darker locks on the red carpet. We like her better as a brunette.

7. Like Jennifer Lopez, Tina Fey went for a classic bun. Doesn’t she look fabulous in her Carolina Herrera gown?
