Nicole’s look:

Go Red captured the essence of red carpet glamour by incorporating a classic yet seductive cat-eye showcasing a smokey eye on the lid using Haze expressions shadow and Truffle to warm up the crease and also in the brows to pronounce full, natural looking eye brows. The cat eye was created with rich, black cream liner in Black Tied liner duo to pronounce the eye. Nothing grabs attention on the red carpet like beautiful lashes, a full-set was applied to each model followed by Stiletto Mineral Water-Proof Mascara to blend the false lashes into the real ones for a flawless effect. Cheeks were warmed with Cantaloupe cream blush on the apples, followed by a brighter pop with Glow powder blush for a fresh look. In keeping with our Go Red theme, lips were stained red with long wear Icon Dual Lip Stain in Scarlett followed by Red China Lipstick.


Doug created a ‘Red Carpet Red Hot Marilyn’ look:

Get your glamour on, using Marilyn Thermal Red and Futuro Pro. Styles were created by setting hair with Thermal Red styling brush and securing with Marilyn Bobby Pins. After the set cooled a mist with Jingles Mega Hold hair spray was added for extra support, hair was softened by brushing through with a Marilyn New Yorker brush. Additional definition was created using a medium to large flat iron and Spray Shine Plus by Jingles.

ABOUT THE MARILYN BRUSH: The Marilyn Brush is known for being the first to create the hourglass shaped brush which holds the hair in place and reduces winding – ¼ turn and the hair stays on the brush. The Marilyn Brush is made with only the finest materials including 100% boar bristles. The quality of the brush and the placement of the bristles actually close the cuticle of the hair creating silky smooth hair. Marilyn brushes are ceramic and not made of metal but rather a perfect plastic and ceramic blend that allow heat to rotate for up to 10 minutes reducing styling time without causing damage. The Marilyn Brush is the #1 choice among professional stylists, was the 2006 and 2007 stylist Choice Award Winner and is famous among platform artists worldwide.
