Who: Lady Gaga
What: Metallic Makeup
How: Makeup artist Sarah Tanno shared exactly what products she used on Lady Gaga for last night's Los Angeles premiere of A Star is Born. "Using all @Marcbeauty new Sequins on the lids in Flashlight and Oh Miley lipstick," she wrote in an Instagram caption. The Marc Jacobs Beauty See-quins Glam Glitter Eyeshadow is currently only available in two shades (neither of which are silver), so we look forward to this brand-new shade.
Editor's Pick: Marc Jacobs Beauty See-quins Glam Glitter Eyeshadow, $28, sephora.com.

Who: Shailene Woodley
What: Red Lipstick
How: Shailene Woodley was a guest at the Dior Spring/Summer 2019 show in Paris this morning wearing a super-chic red lipstick. The Big Little Lies star was likely wearing a Dior lipstick (of course)—if we had to guess, we'd pick the new Rouge Dior Ultra Rouge Pigmented Hydra Lipstick. It's a long-wear formula with a semi-matte finish, and it comes in six-plus red shades.
Editor's Pick: Dior Rouge Dior Ultra Rouge Pigmented Hydra Lipstick in Ultra Feminine, $31,65, nordstrom.com.
September 21, 2018
Who: Katie Holmes
What: Poppy Red Lipstick
How: Makeup artist Genevieve Herr shared the exact lipstick she used on Katie Holmes last night at a Harry Winston event in New York City. The shade? Laura Mercier Portofino red, a poppy red-orange shade that is as bright as it is beautiful.
Editor's Pick: Laura Mercier Creme Smooth Lipstick in Portofino Red, $23.80, nordstrom.com.
September 20, 2018
Who: Miranda Kerr
What: Sleek Hair
How: Miranda Kerr tapped hairstylist Harry Josh and makeup artist Hung Vanngo to create this sleek hair and cherry-red lip look yesterday in NYC. It's been a while since we've seen her hair down and sleek like this—and it's no surprise that Josh used his eponymous line of tools to get the look. On Instagram, Harry Josh Pro Tools credited the Ultra Light Pro Dryer and Ceramic Flat Iron as the key tools to achieve such sleek, shiny hair.
Editor's Pick: Harry Josh Pro Tools Ceramic Flat Styling Iron 1.25 Inch, $200, dermstore.com.
September 19, 2018
Who: Bella Hadid
What: Claw Clip
How: Bella Hadid has really embraced the return of the claw clip head-on—and it looks like she found her new favorite. The supermodel stepped out in Paris wearing the $35 Alexander Wang claw clip from the runway, once again. Unfortunately, you can only shop the hair accessory in stores in NYC. But there are plenty of inexpensive metallic claw clip options on the internet, albeit they won't say Alexander Wang splashed across the side.
Editor's Pick: IPINK Women's Vintage Metal Claw Hair Clip, $8.88, amazon.com.
September 18, 2018
Who: Thandie Newton
What: Metallic Pink Eyes
How: "The eyes were the main event, so I used the new MOTHERSHIP V: Bronze Seduction Palette to create the whole look," says makeup artist Georgie Eisdell who worked with all Pat McGrath Labs products. "I started with ‘ENTRAPMENT’ on the lid and blended out to the crease. I then added a little ‘BLITZ FLAME’ to get the exact rose color I wanted to the center lid. I brought both these colors underneath the eye to really get the smoke and gorgeous light reflection. I finished with one of the most stunning shades of pink I have ever seen, the ‘ROSE GOLD 005.’ I swiped the color across Thandie’s eye lid to create an incredible shine that really made the eyes pop. "
Editor's Pick: Pat McGrath LABS Mothership V Eyeshadow Palette - Bronze Seduction, $125, sephora.com.
September 17, 2018
Who: Sarah Hyland
What: Yellow Eyeliner
How: Yellow eyeliner sounds terrifying, but looks insanely gorgeous. Case in point: Sarah Hyland at a pre-Emmy awards party last night. We're crazy about how the pop of unusual color looks against her olive skin and green eyes. Yellow eyeliner upgrades an everyday makeup look—glowing skin, nude-rose lipstick—to something so much cooler and red carpet-ready.
Editor's Pick: Dior Diorshow On Stage Liquid Eyeliner in Matte Yellow, $25.93, nordstrom.com.
September 14, 2018
Who: Emma Stone
What: Sheer Red Lip
How: For the premiere of Maniac, Emma Stone wore a sheer red lipstick that makeup artist Rachel Goodwin credited as Nars Cosmetics's Manhunt. Unfortunately, Manhunt is discontinued (but still avail on Amazon!), but there are similar shades you can still buy. We love Gipsy, a sheer berry red that's a little more cool than Manhunt.
Editor's Pick: NARS Cosmetics Sheer Lipstick in Gipsy, $28, narscosmetics.com.
September 13, 2018
Who: Elle Fanning
What: Mod Eyelashes
How: Elle Fanning, never one to shy away from a bold beauty look, stepped out last night wearing eyelashes straight out of the '60s. But because she paired the look with sheer foundation, casual waves, and a laidback ensemble, the lashes look cooler and fresh—not costume-y. If you're not a fan of wearing falsies, you can get the look by using a liquid eyeliner to draw vertical lines along your lower lashline, mimicking the look of longer eyelashes. Use the same liner to draw a standard cat-eye on your top lashline, then coat all your real lashes with about 400 coats of your favorite volumizing mascara. For a more graphic look, pinch and squeeze your lashes in sections while the mascara is still wet.
Editor's Pick: L'Oréal Paris Lash Paradise Mascara, $9.99, ulta.com.
September 11, 2018
Who: Blake Lively
What: Pink Lips and Warm Smoky Eyes
How: “Blake’s look tonight was a hybrid of 70’s disco and 1930’s Berlin. I wanted her lips to be present but matte, while her skin offsets the lip with its beautiful glowing texture,” makeup artist Kristofer Bustle said of the look. On her lips, he used the new Giorgio Armani Rouge d’Armani Matte Lipstick in 500 Fatale. Her foundation was the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk formula in the shade 6, and her concealer was Giorgio Armani High Precision Retouch in 3· To get the warm smoky eye, he used his namesake Kristofer Buckle Premier Palette.
Editor's Pick: Giorgio Armani Rouge d’Armani Matte Lipstick in 500 Fatale, $38, giorgioarmanibeauty-usa.com.
September 10, 2018
Who: Lady Gaga
What: Navy Eyes
How: Lady Gaga's A Star is Born press tour continued this weekend in Toronto—and she brought along her favorite makeup artist Sarah Tanno. "Using @marcjacobsbeauty to create this classic but modern fun look," Tanno wrote on Instagram. "I love navy paired with all black. It's a nice way to add color to your look."
Editor's Pick: Marc Jacobs Beauty Highliner Gel Eye Crayon Eyeliner in (Wave)Length, $25, sephora.com.
September 6, 2018
Who: Hailee Steinfeld
What: Single Barrette
How: At last night's Tom Ford show, actress and singer Hailee Steinfeld made a glossy, bouncy blowout look even more elevated thanks to a single black hair clip. We love how the clip turned the otherwise prim style into something high-fashion—it's all about pulling it back into a deep side part and placing the barrette right at the temple.
Editor's Pick: Goody Hair Barrettes, Metal, Assorted Colors, 3-Count, $6.93, amazon.com.
September 5, 2018
Who: Bella Hadid
What: Claw Clip
How: Bella Hadid knows that the claw clip is the biggest hair trendfor fall 2018—and we love how she really leaned in to the '90s vibe. At the U.S. Openm, Hadid styled a leopard print claw clip (so retro!) with slicked back and parted hair. She tossed the ends of her hair up over the crown of her head loosely, then paired the look with minimal makeup, gold hoops, and skinny sunglasses for a look that would have been young and fun in both 1995 and 2018.
Editor's Pick: French New Leopard Yellow with Black Spots Hand-Printed Claws Celluloid Tortoise Hair Claw Jaw Clip, $14.55, etsy.com.
September 4, 2018
Who: Dakota Johnson
What: Bronze Smoke
How: Dakota Johnson hit up the Venice Film Festival over the weekend wearing the prettiest bronze smoked-out eyeshadow by makeup artist Kate Lee. We love how she chose a metallic bronze to go with a crimson dress—and went with a pinky rose lipstick shade instead of the expected red. The look is soft and natural and fresh, but still film-festival worthy.A dual eyeshadow and liner stick makes a smoky eye quick and foolproof. Just trace it along your upper and low lashes and buff out with a brush.
Editor's Pick: Chanel Stylo Ombre et Contour eyeshadow in Electric Brown, $34, chanel.com.
August 29, 2018
Who: Lili Reinhart
What: Soft Blue Shadow
How: Makeup artist Adam Breuchaud created this soft, expertly blended blue eyeshadow look on Riverdale star Lili Reinhart last night. We love how the pop of color lent the same smoky effect as gray or black, but instead also brought out the color of her eyes. He concentrated most of the color along her outer upper lashline, blending it out into a small wing. He then dragged the same color along the outer corner of her eye and down along the lower lashline, stopping about half-way across. The overall look was fresh, fun, and young (just like Lili!) but still entirely red carpet-ready.
Editor's Pick: NARS Cosmetics Single Eyeshadow in Big Sur, $19, narscosmetics.com.
August 24, 2018
Who: Devon Windsor
What: Black Bobby Pins
How: Bobby pins come in multiple colors for a reason: they're supposed to blend in invisibly with your hair. But model Devon Windsor just proved that sometimes throwing the rule book out the window makes for one killer beauty look. To make a major—and inexpensive—hair statement, gather four bobby pins in a color that contrasts with your hair (so white, blonde, or gold for dark hair and black or brown for blonde hair). Part your hair down the middle then pull the sides back with two bobby pins stacked on top of one another. If you want the pins to last longer without slipping, douse them in hairspray first. Bonus points if you curl your ends under for a wholly '90s look, just like Windsor.
Editor's Pick: Goody Bobby Pins, Blonde, 50-count, $3.51, amazon.com.
August 28, 2018
Who: Kylie Jenner
What: Icy Blue Highlighter
How: Kylie Jenner took to Instagram to post a few sneak peeks at her next Kylie Cosmetics collection. The long-awaited collaboration with her best friend Jordyn Woods will finally be launching soon, and it looks like a glossy nude lip and icy blue highlighter are part of the launch. The unusual pop of metallic blue color at the inner corner of her eye is a fun way to upgrade a basic highlighter moment. And if Kylie's vouching for the look, no doubt we'll see it trending in a matter of days.
Editor's Pick: Kylie Cosmetics Ultra Glow in Wisteria, $14, kyliecosmetics.com.
August 22, 2018
Who: Millie Bobby Brown
What: Cobalt Eyeshadow
How: Some people will see this photo and think that Brown is too young to be wearing this much makeup. To that we say: hush. If you can't wear sparkly blue eyeshadow and pink lip gloss when you're 14, when can you? We love that her makeup artist @GPCBeauty kept the shadow graphic instead of smoky, it makes it more fun and age-appropriate and less sultry. Paired with a pretty pink lip gloss, this is a look worth copying at any age.
Editor's Pick: Pat McGrath LABS Mothership I Eyeshadow Palette - Subliminal, $125, sephora.com.
August 21, 2018
Who: Kylie Jenner
What: Healthy Blonde Hair
How: “Kylie just dyed her hair platinum blonde only days ago so I had to keep that in mind with everything I did tonight in terms of heat and pre-styling products," says her hairstylist Andrew Fitzsimons. "To start I used a heat protectant spray on her damp hair then blow dried using the ghd Air Hairdryer on medium heat with a ghd natural bristle radial brush size 3. I used the brush with natural bristles versus ceramic or metal so that hair would not get too hot and stay damage-free. I then sprayed hair with a bit of additional heat protectant spray and then began straightening hair with the ghd Platinum+ Styler (editor's note: not available until 9/3). Freshly-dyed blonde hair can be more fragile so it was very important to me to use the best styler possible to keep the integrity of her hair and keep damage at bay...Next, I used a hairspray and a ghd oval dressing brush to brush hair in the direction it was going once up. I pulled hair to the back in middle of her head and created a pony. I then pulled out two pieces in the front to create a bit of softness o the pony was not too severe and harsh. I gave the pieces one last sweep with the ghd Platinum+. To create the imperfect, perfect bun, I twisted her pony very softly and secured it with pins. I added a shine serum on top for the final touch.”
Editor's Pick: GHD natural bristle radial brush size 3, $30, ghdhair.com.
August 20, 2018
Who: Blake Lively
What: Classic Blake Braid
How: Blake Lively tapped her go-to hairstylist Rod Ortega for her new A Simple Favor film press tour. Ortega created a slew of looks on the actress over the weekend, who is known to be a quick change artist when it comes to fashion and beauty. We love how she wore a loose side-swept braid that was both classic Blake and a little Serena Van der Woodsen. Paired with a menswear-inspired suit and tie, the braid looks soft and feminine instead of simply boho and sweet. To get a style like this to hold, douse hair in texture spray before sweeping to one side and braiding. Secure the end with a clear elastic for all-day hold.
Editor's Pick: Rene Furterer Vegetal Texture Spray, $34, amazon.com.
