Best Makeup: Kerry Washington
Kerry Washington's pretty indigo eye really stood out on the red carpet. Celebrity makeup artist Carola Gonzalez used Lanc�me Color Design Infinit 24H Eye Shadow in Evermore Lilac to get the look. She kept the color concentrated on the lids up to the crease, and she balanced the bold eye with a nude lip.

Best Lip: Jessica Alba
The only thing better than Jessica Alba's peach Oscar de la Renta gown was the vibrant tangerine lipstick she paired with it. �The dress was the inspiration,� says makeup artist Lauren Andersen. �I loved the contrast between her glowing skin and the matte orange lip. It's an almost tropical pop of color that's not an exact match for the dress but close.� The color was Hourglass Opaque Rouge Liquid Lipstick in Riviera, which is soft but matte and can last up to 14 hours -- perfect for an awards show.

Best Hair: Nicole Richie
We're still on the fence about Nicole Richie's periwinkle eyeshadow, but we instantly swooned over her flawless retro waves. After blowing out Richie's hair, Suave Professionals stylist Jenny Cho then used a one-inch barrel to curl her hair and pin the ringlets in place. Then, she blasted the hair with a blow dryer all over for 2 minutes to help set the curls. Next, after removing the pins, she gently brushed out the curls for a softer look and finished with a light misting of Suave Professionals Touchable Finish Super Hold Hairspray and a drop of Suave Professional Moroccan Infusion Styling Oil for shine.

Best Glowing Complexion: Kate Hudson
No big surprise here: Kate Hudson's minimal makeup effect let her radiant skin take center stage. "I wanted to create a modern interpretation of Brigitte Bardot for Kate�s makeup," says makeup artist Leslie Lopez. "I always think less is more and wanted to give her a strong eye without being overwhelming." Leslie used Almay Smart Shade Mousse Makeup in Light/Medium for foundation and added a dash of Almay Smart Shade Blush in Coral on Hudson's cheeks. For the eyes, she accentuated the crease in the eyelid with Almay Intense i-Color Shimmer-i Trio for Green Eyes and defined the eye shape with Almay Intense i-Color Defining Liner in Charcoal for Blue Eyes.

If your office is anything like ours, right now everyone is still buzzing about last night's 2013 Golden Globes. Sure, Amy Poehler and Tina Fey were hilarious and Adele's speech was nothing short of charming, but what's really causing heated debate between our cubicles are the red carpet winners.

That's not to say the gowns weren't stunning and the diamonds straight up jaw dropping, but here at Total Beauty HQ, fashion always takes a back seat to flawless retro waves (well played, Megan Fox) and spotlight-stealing eyeliner (interesting choice, Nicole Richie).

It only took us a few hours and a few shouting matches (all in harmless fun!) but we selected the stars we think are the real winners. Keep reading to see who we crowned best updo, best makeup, best lipstick, you get the drift. Plus, find out exactly what products the pros used to create the A-listers' gorgeous looks.
