Look of the Day: Olivia Wilde's Peachy Smoky Eye
There were plenty of awe-inspiring looks this year at the 2017 Tony Awards, but we found ourselves gawking at the ever-beautiful Olivia Wilde the minute she stepped onto the red carpet. Teaming up with Marc Jacobs Beauty makeup artist, Hung Vanngo, Wilde unveiled an eye-popping, peachy smoky eye and paired it with a sexy, plunging dress.

"Olivia is wearing a long, shimmering red dress and I didn't want to make it too obvious and give her red lips," Vanngo says. "Instead, I opted to do a fresh, peachy beauty look as it's one of my favorite looks to do, and I think it also complements the dress in a more modern way."

To create her look, Vanngo applied a sheer layer of Marc Jacobs Genius Gel Super-Charged Oil-Free Foundation in 34 Beige Medium and used a tiny bit of Marc Jacobs Beauty Remedy Concealer Pen in 1 Rendezvous to brighten under her eyes. To set the canvas, Hung used Marc Jacobs Beauty Perfection Powder -- Featherweight Foundation in 240 Bisque through the center of the face. To warm up Wilde's complexion, he used a combination of Marc Jacobs Beauty Air Blush Soft Glow Duo in 504 Kink & Kisses on the cheeks and Marc Jacobs Beauty O!mega Bronze Perfect Tan across the cheekbones, temples and chin.

For added radiance and glow, Hung tapped Marc Jacobs Beauty Glow Stick Glistening Illuminator on the top of Wilde's cheekbones, Cupid's bow and the center of her nose. To frame her eyes, Hung filled in Wilde's brows with Marc Jacobs Beauty Brow Wow Defining Longwear Eyebrow Pencil in Ash brown 4 and brushed them into place using Marc Jacobs Beauty Brow Tamer Grooming Gel.

To create her peachy smoky eye, Hung started by sketching Marc Jacobs Beauty Highliner Gel Eye Crayon Eyeliner in Sunset 74, a golden-bronze shade, along the top and bottom lash line. He then applied a bit of the eyeliner onto her eyelid and quickly blended that out for a base color. On top of the eyeliner, Hung used the rose gold eye shadow from Marc Jacobs Beauty Style Eye-Con No. 7 Plush Eyeshadow in the Lover 220, and blended and diffused the edges of the shadow with the pearly, nude shade from the same palette. After curling Wilde's lashes, Hung applied a generous amount of Marc Jacobs Beauty Velvet Noir Major Volume Mascara to her top lashes.

Look of the Day: Rita Ora's Angelic Complexion
Glowing complexions were definitely a highlight (pun intended) of last night's 2017 Billboard Music Awards, and Rita Ora's makeup may have stolen the entire show. The singer, actress and Rimmel London spokesperson teamed up with celebrity makeup artist Kathy Jeung for her angelic look. Jeung drew inspiration from the accents of Ora's dress, which she complemented with a silvery smoky eye, gunmetal accents and shimmery highlights on the skin.

To create Ora's radiant complexion, Jeung used the Rimmel London Kate Sculpting Palette, $6.99, in Coral Glow and applied the product to the tops of Ora's cheekbones, above her jawline and down the length of her nose. Then, Jeung used a rounded brush to dust blush on the apple of Ora's cheeks, extending it towards the temples for a punch of color. She finished Ora's face by applying Rimmel London Natural Bronzer, $4.99, in Sun Bronze along her hairline, temples, cheeks and just under the chin.

For Ora's metallic smoky eye, Jeung applied the beige shade of Rimmel London Magnif'Eyes Eye Contouring Palette, $7.99, in Grunge Glamour all over the eyelid and brow bone. Using the grey shadow, she highlighted the crease and lower lash line and added silver shadow along and above the smudged black line. To add definition, Jeung lined Ora's lash line with Rimmel London Eyeliner ScandalEyes Bold, $5.29, and subtly blended it using the black shadow from the Rimmel London Magnif'Eyes Eye Contouring Palette in Keep Calm & Wear Gold. A smudge of Rimmel London ScandalEyes Eyeshadow Stick, $4.59, in Witness White around the inner corner of Ora's eyes and a few coats of Rimmel London Shake It Fresh Mascara, $11.51, gave Ora's eyes an extra pop. A swipe of Rimmel London Exaggerate Automatic Lip Liner, $6.99, in Innocent and Rimmel London Stay Matte Liquid Lip Colour, $5.49, in Latte To Go completed the look.

Look of the Day: Allison Williams' Platinum Curls
Allison Williams (aka Marnie from "Girls"), wowed at last night's Met Gala with her new blonde 'do and classic sweeping waves. To create her classy red carpet look, Williams teamed up with celebrity hairstylist, Rebekah Forecast, who says she wanted to depict the "wacky and sculptural designs" of the Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garcons theme of the evening. "So I embodied this with sculpted waves," Forecast says. "All the while, keeping the look soft and beautiful to honor the classic Diane von Furstenberg gown she wore."

To create her look, Forecast prepped Williams' dry strands with Matrix Style Link Mineral Airy Builder Dry Texture Foam, $18, for texture and Matrix Style Link Heat Buffer, $18, for protection and smoothing. Then she created a side part in Williams' hair and combed Matrix Style Link Blowout Skinny Queen, $16, around the hair line to create waves and give the hair direction.

To create Williams' chic and classy waves, Forecast spritzed Matrix Style Link Volume Fixer Hairspray, $18, to the hair and used a 3/4 inch barrel curling iron to curl hair and pinned each piece up -- letting the curls sit for 30 minutes. Once the curls were locked in place, Forecast worked Matrix Style Link Mineral Grip Definer, $18, through the hair and brushed them out to give the waves texture. To finish her look, Forecast smoothed her ends with the Matrix Style Link Over Achiever 3-in-1 Cream Paste and teased sections of her hair for a bit more volume, spritzing more hairspray to lock in the look.

Look of the Day: Kelsea Ballerini's Pretty Plaits
If there's anyone's beauty look we're calling dibs on, it's Kelsea Ballerini's modern getup she sported last night at the 52nd Academy of Country Music Awards. The "Peter Pan" singer teamed up with celebrity hairstylist Bridget Brager who created a textured, braided updo, in order to balance the etherealness of her billowing floral dress.

To create Ballerini's chic plaits, Brager starting by applying the Paul Mitchell Extra Body Sculpting Foam, $10.50, to Ballerini's damp hair from the roots to the ends, and rough dried her hair to enhance the volume and texture as much as possible. To give hair some more definition, Brager used the Paul Mitchell Express Gold Curl Marcel 1" Barrel, $67.99, on dry hair. Once her hair contained a bit more bend and texture from the curls, Brager applied Paul Mitchell Neon Sugar Cream, $11.99, from roots to her ends, in order to keep curls intact and hair shiny before beginning the braid.

To create her stunning braids, Brager started by parting Ballerini's hair down the middle and created two Dutch braids on each side of her head -- stopping the Dutch braid right at the ear. Then using the remaining hair at the back of the head, Brager crafted strands into a fishtail braid. Once the braids were complete, Brager folded the fishtail braid to the back of the head, created a bun and wrapped the Dutch braids around the bun to finish the look (securing with bobby pins of course). To lock in the look, Brager spritzed on the Paul Mitchell Neon Sugar Confection, $10.99, and sent Ballerini off to slay her "Yeah, Boy" performance later that evening.

Look of the Day: Emily Blunt's Bronze Smoky Eye
While many celebs looked absolutely stunning at last night's 2017 Screen Actors Guild Awards, Emily Blunt was the apple of our eye. She teamed up with Laura Mercier and celebrity makeup artist, Jenn Streicher, who says her inspiration for Blunt's look stemmed from Blunt's elegant nude gown. "I wanted to work some color into her makeup," Streicher says. "So I gave her a bronze smoky eye, incorporating subtle red and pink hues, to give her look a little edge."

To create her glowing look, Streicher started by massaging Sisley Black Rose Precious Face Oil, $235, into Blunt's skin for a quick radiance boost. She then applied Laura Mercier Foundation Primer - Radiance, $38, into Blunt's t-zone followed by the Laura Mercier Silk Creme Moisturizing Photo Edition Foundation, $48, in Ivory. To set her flawless complexion, Streicher brushed on the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder, $38, and followed it with the Laura Mercier Candleglow Concealer and Highlighter, $32, around her eyes, nose and chin.

As for Blunt's alluring smoky eye? Streicher prepped Blunt's lids with the Laura Mercier Eye Basics, $28, in Linen, and applied the Laura Mercier Second Skin Cheek Colour, $26, in Rose Bloom in the crease of her eyes to make the pink pop (she used the same color on Blunt's cheeks). Next, Streicher used her finger to pat on the Metallik Rust shade from Laura Mercier Editorial Eye Palette Intense Clays, $48, and applied the Laura Mercier Baked Eye Colour, $25, in Terracotta by using a wet brush to intensify the eye shadow's hue and iridescence. Streicher also applied a bit of this product under Blunt's eye to create a bold to make Blunt's eyes pop. Streicher contoured Blunt's eye, under her lashes, with Laura Mercier Matte Eye Colour, $25, in Fresco and applied the Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour in Copper to give her lids a pop of gold. To complete her look, Streicher applied Laura Mercier Tightline Cake Eye Liner, $25, in Mahogany Brown and swiped on the Laura Mercier Full Blown Volume Supreme Lash Building Mascara in Black.
