Look Like a Celeb Without Stealing a Designer Gown: 2013 Golden Globes Beauty

Got award season fever? Yeah, me too. I just can’t get enough of the amazing looks from the Golden Globes on Sunday. It’s not just the gowns that the celebs wore that I am obsessed with it’s their hair and makeup too. Let’s be real, the next time I’m going to be dressed in head to toe designer will probably be in my dreams but, I can rock the same shade of lipstick or chic ‘do this coming weekend if I feel so inclined. Lucky for us, most of the celebs kept it casual with their hair and makeup making our lives (and imitation attempts) much easier. Thank God, because stealing Kate Hudson’s McQueen dress was going to be a little tricky.

Graceful and Natural
There is nothing more appealing than that effortless “Oh, I Just Rolled Out of Bed Looking Like This” look. The ladies must have gotten the memo because this was one of the most popular looks on the red carpet. This look is beach waves meets glamazon and is so easy to achieve. First, add a root volumizer (either a mousse or spray would work) to damp hair. Dry your hair upside down until it is slightly damp, flip your head over and finish drying all the way. Once completely dry part your hair down the middle. To get the effortless curls that Claire, Kate, Amanda, and Hayden were rocking use a large1 ½ to 2 inch barrel curling iron to curl the ends of your hair. The important thing to remember is not to hold it for longer than ten seconds, anything longer will give you more structured curls rather than loose, carefree ones. Add a few spritz of hairspray and you’re ready to walk the streets like an A-lister walks the red carpet. 
The perfect California girl
Effortless hair meets sultry smoky eye

Still my favorite look of the night!




Casual Glamour
Most of the stars kept their makeup, like their hair, totally laid back. Natural eye makeup, neutral lips, and glowing skin were all the rage on Sunday. There was an occasional smoky eye or a pop of color on the lips, but for the most part stars were content with looking like their beautiful selves. 
Amy Adams looking fresh and pretty

Anne Hathaway, stunning as always
Sienna Miller, does she even have makeup on?! 

Nicole Richie really made a statement by rocking the same shade blue as her dress. Overkill? No way. This is a HUGE trend for spring. The key to avoid looking like a bad 1980’s nightmare is to keep the rest of your makeup super clean and simple so the focus is on your eyes. She nailed it.
