Similar to the idea of wearing a casual updo with a formal look, this combo of natural makeup with a structured half-updo makes the style more modern and less debutante. Try balancing formal and fun by wearing either a formal updo or glamorous makeup -- and only do both for really upscale affairs.
We love award shows for many different reasons. Some, like the Oscars, are fun to watch for the over-the-top red carpet looks. And others, like the MTV awards, are a trip to view with all the wacky and funky styles. However, few of the looks from either show can be worn to the grocery store or even to work or a cocktail party, right? That's why another one of our favorites is the People's Choice Awards. This year they went a bit more casual and the result was celebrities with fun -- and very wearable -- looks.
Click through this gallery to see the trends we spotted on the red carpet at the People's Choice Awards. All of them are things you can try in your everyday life, whether it's a new makeup technique suitable for work or a fun updo for your next Saturday night out.
So who was a trendsetter at this year's awards? Well, all the celebrities looked fabulous (we couldn't find a "worst" in the bunch!), but our favorites were Carrie Underwood, Sandra Bullock, Nicole Scherzinger, Olivia Wilde, Diane Kruger, Taraji P. Henson, Katie Cassidy, Amber Riley, Daniela Ruah, Dania Ramirez, Alyson Hannigan, and Dianna Agron. Check them out now!
