Get The Look: Angelina Jolie’s Natural Hair & Makeup
Angelina Jolie turned heads at this year’s SAG awards with her billowy vintage Hermes gown from N.Y.C’s Rare Vintage. Makeup artist Mary Burton played up the ’60s/’70s vintage feel of the dress by keeping the makeup natural.
It was Angelina’s aura that inspired hairstylist David Babaii to create the loose ‘do. Using his own beach spray, Babaii was able to achieve instant volume and texture. He created eight barrel curls by sectioning the hair into four with a big curling iron and sprayed a little beach spray on the roots without any blow drying. The curls were clipped and then he teased the roots a bit. Once dried, he took it out and it was done. “I was just like, shake it out, let’s go,” says Babaii. For a similar look try this Tousled Wave Spray, $23, from Frederic Fekkai at sephora.com.

Dustin Hoffman's Wife Launches Skincare Line!
Of all of the celebrity wives who you'd imagine doing a skin care line, Dustin Hoffman's wife Lisa really got it right.

At the recent launch party at L.A.'s Fred Segal, a whole host of male stars -- including Sasha Baron Cohen, Jeremy Piven and Mark Ruffalo -- showed up to celebrate. Who knew they were such beauty buffs? Our favorite product is the Night & Day 24 Hour Skincare packets, $20, each of which includes a cleanser, moisturizer, toner, eye cream, and lip serum for both night and day.

Get the Look: Straight Hair is Back!
Judging by the long, pin-straight hair that ruled the Oscar red carpet -- Reese, Gwyneth and Nicole -- we’re all going to be spending a lot of time juggling our hairdryers and round brushes. To speed up the process and avoid arm fatigue, use a lightweight hairdryer that works in half the time, like the T3 Bespoke Labs Featherweight Dryer, $200. To achieve Nicole Kidman’s sleek 'do, stylist Chris McMillan applied Oscar Blandi Jasmine Oil Serum, $34, before and after blow-drying to fight frizz and add shine. And to ensure her hair was perfectly straight, McMillan finished it up with a FHI flatiron, $110. He called the final look "simple and elegant, with clean lines to accent the silhouette of her dress." If you plan on using dryers and irons on a regular basis and want to maintain the health of your hair, be sure to use products that protect hair from heat and apply a deep conditioning treatment or mask on a weekly basis.
If you can't afford the same products the stars use, here are a few that are hair and wallet friendly.
1. T-Studio Collection by Remington Active Ion, Tourmaline & Ceramic Flat Iron, $40 at ulta.com
2. Conair ION Shine Double Ionic Turbo Styler, $33 at conair-store.com
3. John Frieda Reinforce Strengthening Triple Creme Masque, $5.00 at ulta.com

Christina Aguilera's Makeup Artist Gives the Scoop on Her Grammy Look
For Christina Aguilera's Grammy look, makeup artist Kristofer Buckle was inspired by her pale peachy-pink Ungaro gown. “I wanted her makeup to be peaches-and-cream soft so that it didn't upstage the pale, pretty shade of her dress,” says Buckle, who created the singer’s look in 20 minutes backstage at the Staples Center. On her eyes, he brushed Laura Mercier Mineral Eye Powder in Eclipse, a sparkly black powder, across her upper lids for a soft but still dramatic effect. He added three pairs of false lashes to further emphasize her eyes. ("Any drugstore brand works," adds Buckler. Try Ardell, the inexpensive brand of choice for the pros.) "The idea was to give a Jayne Mansfield look to her eyes--sexy and strong, but a bit understated," he says. On her lips, "I wanted a creamsicle color, but beigier and more monochromatic, so it wasn’t too attention-getting," says Buckle. He mixed bright coral lipstick with creamy beige, and added a layer of MAC Lipglass in Clear on top. "Everyone is so sexed up at the Grammys, so I definitely wanted her look to make a big statement; but I did that by pulling way back. That makes a major statement, too."

Beyonce's (& Oprah's & Gwen's) New Tool: The Beauty Blender
If you haven't tried the BeautyBlender makeup sponge, you are in for a surprise. This egg-shaped makeup applicator was created by two young Hollywood makeup artists who were tired of using regular old makeup sponges. It has no hard edges, so makeup (foundation, blush) doesn't streak as you blend it in. And the pointed tip can be used to apply concealer under the eyes, on a spot or in hard-to-reach places, like around the nose and mouth. Makeup artists are nuts for this thing — as are Oprah, Gwen Stefani and Beyonce. To buy the Beauty Blender makeup sponge, $20, visit beautyblender.net or victoriassecret.com.

Get The Look: Sienna Miller at the Met
We were blown away by how lovely Sienna Miller looked at the Opera the other night. So we went to the source -- MAC Cosmetics senior artist Patrick Eichler created Sienna's look and walks us through all the steps to get this fresh-faced, smoky-eyed look.
1. Brush on MAC Face and Body Foundation, starting at the center of her face and working outward, buffing it into the skin until it blends in.
2. Then use MAC Studio Stick Foundation in NW43as a bronzer. Swipe the stick wherever you'd contour: cheekbones, temple, hairline and along the jaw. Buff it in with the brush you just used. It warms the skin and contours at the same time.
3. Next, use MAC Pearl Cream Colour Base on the lid and the inner corner of the eye. Follow that with MAC Soba Eye Shadow, a gorgeous golden brown powder shadow. Use very little, working it gently into the crease of the lid to avoid streaking.

4. Then work MAC's waterproof Technakohl Eyeliner in Graphblack into the inside of the lashes, moving the color into the lash line. Next, the upper lashes, then underneath the lower lashes. Use a soft brush to smudge it just a little.
5. Curl lashes with MAC eyelash curler. Then use tons of MAC Pro Lash in Coal Black on top and bottom lashes. Eyes just go boom.
6. I wanted to keep Sienna supersophisticated, so no gloss on her lip, just a little lipstick called Lovedust. It’s a matte texture, with golden pearl in it. It’s very Twiggy.

Who Has the Best Hair in Hollywood?
Hairstylists to the stars pick the celebrities whose tresses are tops and offer advice on getting their glamorous dos.
Wavy Hair
HOT TIP Thick, wavy hair looks sexy, whether it’s worn short or long.
KATIE HOLMES
THE LOOK Long and angled in front for movement.
WHY IT WORKS “The cut, combined with Katie’s naturally wavy hair, offers me the flexibility to do anything I want with it,” says Holmes’s New York City stylist, Oscar Blandi. “Pin-straight hair is harder to work with because it doesn’t hold a style well.”
STYLING TIP To safeguard Holmes’s hair from heat damage caused by blow-dryers, curling irons and flatirons, Blandi likes to spritz it with his Jasmine Protein Mist ($18/8 oz.; sephora.com), a leave-in detangling and moisturizing spray, before styling.
