The stylists at Fekkai gave her a sleek look with a slight wave at the end. The way you get this look? Condition the hair thoroughly. Stylist Adir Abergel of Fekkai used the Advanced Glossing Shampoo and Conditioner ($23 each), and left the conditioner on for a full 15 minutes.

He used a deep side part, and took a large round brush ($65) to blow dry hair, ensuring the roots were flat. After the blow drying process, he set the hair with spray, then used a flat iron for that pin straight effect. He curled the ends for a slight wavy effect and added Fekkai’s Silky Straight Ironless Smooth Finish Serum ($23) for that shine we saw last night.

She prepped Kendrick’s skin with Arcona Skincare (a light all natural moisturizer called Magic White Ice)and used tarte cosmetics’ makeup for the cheeks (Cheekstain in Coral). As for the lips, Glick wanted a soft, healthy pink lip with a bit of shine and she used tarte’s LipSurgency natural lipstain in Charmed as a base, and topped the look with a double ended lipgloss in Samantha.

Kendrick’s face was finished with a touch of lavender spritz mist that also served as a calm aromatherapy.

For the eyes, Glick used Dior eyeshadow to create a “very soft, neutral look with bronze undertones.” She used the Dior 5-Colour Eyeshadow in Sunset Cafe and Incognito and DiorShow Unlimited Mascara.

Her dress was inspired by a photograph of Marilyn Monroe who was all “covered with roses”. But it was my least favorite number of the evening, with its bustier rosette details and bride-like train that seemed to evoke Bridezillas gone awry. But I cannot argue that her makeup was gorgeous.So, we’ll work with that…

The makeup was done by Dior’s International Makeup Advisor, Shane Paish, who said that the “inspiration for the beauty look was English Rose who vacations in Paris.”

He used Rouge Dior Lipsticks in Celebrity Red, and Creme de Rose; applied DiorShow Unlimited Mascara on her lashes; and used the Dior 5-Colour Eyeshadow in Incognito for her lids. He capped off the look by using DiorBlush in A Touch of Blush.

And naturally, which Dior fan doens’t know about DiorSkin Airflash Spray Foundation and the Dior L’Or de Vie La Creme?

Her hair was done in a super chic updo, created by TRESemmé Celebrity Stylist Mara Roszak. Roszak wanted ”an editorial look because she was wearing Givenchy. We also didn’t want the hair and make up to compete with the dress so we created an elegant but effortless look.”

Here’s how you can recreate Saldana’s Oscars 2010 red carpet ‘do:

1. It’s all about prepping the hair with mousse! I am a huge fan of the TRESemme Naturals line, and was pleased to find that Roszak had prepped damp hair with TRESemmé Naturals Lightweight Mousse. Then she blow dryed her hair upside down.

2. Roszak separated the crown from the rest of the hair and pulled back the sides into a tight pony. Then she pulled the hair almost all the way through but left the ends tucked into a ponytail holder. Note that it wasn’t a PERFECT ponytail, with a few pieces left outside the bun for a slightly messy look.

3. Then she teased the top part of the hair and criss crossed bobby pins to hold the hair in place securely. She also sprayed Saldana’s updo with TRESemmé TRES TWO Extra Hold Hair Spray.
4. Here’s a stylist secret! Spray hairspray on finger tips and gently pull the hair around the face with your fingers to loosen the hair, giving it an organic effortless look.

She wore a strapless grey dress with ruffles (of course) and $90 shoes from Aldo. Her hair was done by Nexxus Creative Director Kevin Mancuso, who said that he “really wanted to give her a Bridget Bardot meets Audrey Hepburn style.”

After prepping the hair with Nexxus shampoo and conditioner (the volumizing line helps, such as Diametress and Sublime Volume), apply a volumizing spray gel such as the Nexxus Lavish Body from the roots to the tip and blow dry with a paddle brush. When the roots are almost dry, switch to the round brush. When the roots are still warm, take one inch sections of hair and switch them to Velcro rollers and let them completely cool.

Remove these curls and tousle for a glam wavy effect, and finish with a smoothing lotion. Remove a one inch section of hair and secure the rest of the hair into a pony. You can also use a flat iron to smoothen the loose waves in front.

However, her hair is another story. I loved her elegant updo, especially the black and white Chanel Camelia Nervure brooch she had pinned on her hair. So glam!

Her hair was done by Danilo, celeb stylist for Pantene. Here’s how he created her gorge hairdo:

First, he washed and conditioned her hair with the new Pantene Pro-V Restoratives Frizz
Control Shampoo and Conditioner, which we wrote about here (and love, BTW). He also misted a leave-in conditioner and the Pantene Pro-V Volume Root Lifter Spray Gel all over her damp hair. After blow drying Kruger’s hair upside down, Danilo sectioned her hair into a side part and separated it into three parts – the two sides and the back of her hair.

He then braided the side sections of the hair away from the face in an upward direction. This created a tautness and a foundation for the more elaborate ‘do about to come. Then he pulled the back section of the hair into a high ponytail with volume on top, and split the pony into two sections and twisted it in rope-ike fashion. The trick here is incorporating the side braids into the twist.

He then continually twisted the hair and pinned it in place, misted hair with hairspray to set, and finished the look with an elegant broach.

Oscar 2010 Beauty Trend Prediction #1: Classic Beauty and Old Hollywood Style Glamour

Celebrity makeup artist Sam Fine says, “I think the most popular/prominent look on the red carpet this year will be classic beauty statements. If we see color, it will be blush tones and soft roses instead of deep shades of red or vibrant shadow statements. I think this beauty speaks directly to the recession and reflects a more subtle beauty that many women can relate to.”

Brett Freedman (celebrity makeup artist to Vanessa Hudgens, Kelly Clarkson, Reba McEntire, Emily Blunt, Sienna Miller, and Jessica Lucas) thinks we will see Old Hollywood glamor with lots of edge. He predicts paler lips, and lots of eye liquid liner. There won’t be too much tan, and “dewiness for the body will take center stage, with a more subtle look.”

Freedman thinks the eyes will be about lashes and liner, and not really about a “smoky eye.” “I’m thinking Sandra Bullock will buck the trend, I predict a dramatic eye and pale lip. Hair up and with a mix of structured and unstructured waves. She’ll want to have a touch of edge and sex appeal.”

Oscar 2010 Beauty Trend Predicton #2: Heavy Eye Makeup/ False Lashes

Christina Smith, a celebrity makeup artist who has worked with Julia Roberts, Giselle Bundchen, Reese Witherspoon, Helen Mirren, Jane Krakowski, predicts heavy eye makeup. “False lashes will be in full force,” she says.

Oscar 2010 Beauty Trend Prediction # 3: Pretty and Feminine Hair

According to Stylesight’s New York Trend Director, Andrea Praet, “For hair, expect to see pretty, feminine loose styles continuing. For eyes, expect to see subdued metallics, in shades of pewter and lavender, with accents of shimmering white that highlight the brow and cheek bone.”

Anthony Dickey, creator of the line Hair Rules, says, “People think that Hollywood and the Oscars are synonymous with glamor, recession or not, and we’ll all be watching to see how this plays out on this year’s red carpet. I think that a lot of what you will see on the likes of Sandra Bullock and Julianne Moore will be looks taken right off the runways of Dior and Oscar de la Renta. I predict lots of Lauren Bacall inspired shapes – upsweeps, glamorous period looks that are touchable, not hard or stiff. If I’m right, it means a lot of styles that can be worn by all women off the red carpet, which is great.

At first glance, one thinks of a  Hitchcock heroine “aha” moment for the hair stylist, and this guess –as it turns out –is not far from the truth.

Frederic Fekkai stylist Renato Campora thought of “A modern day Grace Kelly that compliments her total look and silhouette” while doing this look.  “A wavy texture with a dynamic shape” is how Campora describes this unusually styled bob.

HOW TO GET THE LOOK:

Start by applying FEKKAI MORE ALL DAY DENSITY STYLING WHIP on wet hair. Blow-dry smooth with the FEKKAI EXTRA LARGE ROUND BRUSH to create some volume. Then use a one inch curling iron and let it set for 20 minutes. Brush it through and use the FEKKAI COIFF MAGNIFIQUE ULTRA LIGHT FINISHING CRÈME at the ends to help roll hair under. Finish with FEKKAI SHEER HOLD HAIRSPRAY.

THE PRODUCTS ALL BY FEKKAI: Fekkai More All Day Density Styling Whip ($25), Fekkai Extra Large Round Brush ($65), Fekkai Coiff Magnifique Ultra Light Finishing Crème ($23), Fekkai Sheer Hold Hairspray ($23)
