Kim Kardshian's Party-Ready Topknot
If there's one celeb who walks off a (private) plane looking red-carpet ready, it's Kim Kardashian. In true Kim K fashion, the beauty queen strolled off her jet in the Hamptons this past weekend rocking a messy topknot hairstylist Justine Marjan whipped up in the air. Here's how Marjan created the look:

Marjan prepped Kardashian's hair with Paul Mitchell Dry Wash and Paul Mitchell Spray Wax before smoothing it out with a Marulaoil Detangling brush. Then, the stylist split the star's hair into two sections -- creating one above the other from the ear to the crown of her head. Taking that top section, Marjan pulled KK's hair into an ultra high ponytail (securing with an elastic) and left some strands loose around the hairline for an effortless effect. Marjan then attached the bottom section to the top pony with a hair bungee and used Paul Mitchell Dry Wax throughout the length of the pony to give the look some added texture and "mess." To finish the look, Marjan twisted and knotted Kim's hair into a topknot, securing with bobby pins and a touch of hairspray.

Keeping up with Kardashians may be a job in itself, but at least Marjan gets a lift to the Hamptons while she works.

Look of the Day: Lupita Nyong'o's Eye-Catching Tony Awards Makeup
At last night's Tony Awards, nominee Lupita Nyong'o proved you don't need flashy makeup to absolutely slay the red carpet. This subtle summer look by makeup artist Nick Barose was one of our favorites.

"The look is fresh and summery, with warm orange and coral tones to play off of Lupita's Hugo Boss dress," Barose says. "For Lupita's eyes, I used a deep blue, and navy shades for definition. It's a softer look that pops against her glowing skin."

To create a smooth canvas for his makeup magic, Barose used Lancôme Advanced Génifique Youth Activating Concentrate and Lancôme Advanced Génifique Eye Light Pearl to prep her skin. To help reduce shine, he applied Lancôme La Base Pro Pore Eraser Mattifying Primer on Nyong'o's T-Zone area, following with the Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Makeup Stick in 550 Suede C as her foundation. To hide dark circles, Barose used the Lancôme Maquicomplet Complete Coverage Concealer in Deep Suede under the eyes and around the mouth.

To make Nyong'o's eyes the center of attention, Barose filled in her brows and added shape using Lancôme Sourcils Gel Waterproof Eyebrow Gel-Cream in 06 Noir. To lock her shadow in place, Barose prepped her lids with Lancôme Aquatique Waterproof Eyecolour Base in 06 Sienne, then dusted on Lancôme Color Design Sensational Effects Eyeshadow in Sapphire Lace. For the final eye-popping touch, Barose lined Nyong'o's eyes with Lancôme Drama Liqui-Pencil Longwear Eyeliner in Parisian Night and Lancôme Grandiôse Liquid Liner in 01 Matte Black, followed by a coat of Lancôme Grandiôse Extreme Mascara.

While Nyong'o may not have taken home the award for best leading actress, she definitely stole the show with this gorgeous summer look.

Look of the Day: Ciara's Faux Fringe at the Billboard Music Awards
Everybody one-two-step back because Ciara absolutely slayed at last night's Billboard Music Awards with her faux fringe and half-pony hairstyle. To get the funky-fresh look, the hostess teamed up with her hairstylist and Mizani Artistic Director Cesar Ramirez, who did not disappoint.

To create the swoon-worthy style, Ramirez prepped Ciara's hair with Mizani Foam Wrap -- to give her stands some added texture and mold-ability. For the effortless (and chic) updo, he brushed her hair into a middle pony, leaving the hair looped through and intentionally disheveled.

Feeling the blunt bang vibe, Ramirez added a Bunny & Skull handmade clip in FauxFringe and secured the look with a light-hold hairspray: Mizani HRM.

Look of the Day: Bella Hadid's Bronzed Glow at Cannes
After swooning over the (many) gorgeous looks of Gigi Hadid, our focus shifted to younger sister Bella Hadid last night when she officially secured supermodel status at the Cannes Film Festival. Who's the makeup artist behind her flawless look? You can thank Patrick Ta (celebrity makeup artist for Charlotte Tilbury) for her contoured complexion and soft smoky.

To get the natural, bronzed look we're dying to recreate, Ta prepped Hadid's skin with a generous layer of Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream and lightly applied Charlotte Tilbury Light Wonder Foundation in Shade 3. To play up Hadid's naturally gorgeous features, Ta contoured with Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze and Glow, noting, "this product photographs amazingly, and Bella loves a softly contoured look." Ta then applied Charlotte Tilbury Cheek to Chic in First Love to give Hadid's cheeks a "healthy flush."

To get Hadid's ultra-subtle smoky eye, Ta used the Charlotte Tilbury The Luxury Palette in The Sophisticate as well as The Dolce Vita. The makeup artist then used an angled brush and brown shadow to draw a thin wing starting half way on the eyelid and smudged outwards for a smoky eye effect. He then added some drama with a few swipes of Charlotte Tilbury Legendary Lashes and painted Hadid's pout with Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G. Lipstick in Penelope Pink.

Look out beauty world, the Hadids are taking no prisoners.

Look of the Day: Sarah Jessica Parker's Met Gala Makeup
While there was plenty of enviable makeup at last night's Met Gala, the queen of fashion, Sarah Jessica Parker, looked particularly amazing. Teaming up with celebrity makeup artist Leslie Lopez, Parker debuted a metallic makeup look that complemented her ultra chic ensemble (that we're pretty sure Carrie would've swooned over). The result? One of the hottest red carpet looks of the night.

To create the edgy look, Lopez applied Laura Mercier Silk Créme Moisturizing Photo Edition Foundation in Bamboo Beige and Laura Mercier Face Illuminator Powder to create a flawless canvas for dramatic eyes.

Speaking of eyes, to create Parker's metallic smoky look, Lopez blended Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour in Tuxedo and Rosegold and added Gilded Gold just under the brow bone to highlight.

She finished the look by curling the star's lashes with a Shu Uemura Eye Lash Curler and swiping on a few coats of Rimmel London Extra Super Lash Mascara for an overall stunning (and sexy) look.

"Bold eyes are always a priority for Sarah," Lopez says. "She loves a good, strong eye."

And it definitely worked for her last night.
