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.

Look of the Day: Carrie Underwood at the Academy of Country Music Awards
At last night's ACM Awards, bombshell Almay ambassador Carrie Underwood was the epitome of natural glamour. "Inspired by Carrie's intricately embellished Davidson Zanine gown," makeup artist Melissa Schleicher created this "simple glam eye and neutral lip" -- and we can't wait to recreate it at home.

Schleicher started with Almay Smart Shade Skintone Matching Makeup in light/medium followed by Smart Shade Skintone Matching Concealer under the eyes. To give Underwood's face a pretty yet subtle glow, Schleicher applied the new Almay Smart Shade Bronzer in Sunkissed to the apples of the singer's cheeks.

To create a sultry smoky eye, Schleicher used Almay Intense i-Color Everyday Neutrals Eyeshadow for Hazel eyes, dusting the lightest shade across the entire lid up into the brow bone. Next, she applied the dark brown shade (Hot Fudge) in the crease, finishing with a sweep of Almay Liquid Liner in black on the upper lash line and Almay Intense i-Color Gel Smooth Liner in Espresso on the waterline.

Underwood has always been a major beauty icon, but we're digging her pretty, modern look these days. There really must be something in the water.

Look of the Day: Sarah Hyland's Edgy Ponytail
Sarah Hyland's look was one part gorgeous and two parts badass at the Vanity Fair Pre-Oscar party, and needless to say we're obsessed. Hyland teamed up with Nine Zero Salon co-founder Nikki Lee to debut an edgy braided ponytail we're all dying to copy on our next night out.

To create the sexy and sleek look, Lee began by adding Unite Texturiza Spray, $35, to Hyland's strands. Brushing the hair back, she then sectioned out Hyland's hair for the top Mohawk and clipped it out of the way. To give the edgy look a feminine flair, she created an inverted braid on each side of the head, and teased the top of the hair for added volume, before pulling it back into a ponytail. To finish and hold the gorgeous hairstyle, she spritzed it with Unite Max Control Spray.

Look out ladies, we've got ourselves a new favorite boss babe style.
