Looking ‘Red-Carpet-Ready’ During Awards Season

With awards season kicking off in the fall and endless red carpet events year-round, celebrities are always thinking about looking their best in the limelight. While we cannot all be superstars with personal glam squads, you can borrow these tricks of the trade to look just as red carpet ready as any A-lister.

Sparkling Smile – Nothing ruins a red carpet photo like a lackluster smile. Enhance your pearly whites with Crest Whitestrips Advanced Seal. The newest strip molds to your teeth temporarily so that you can talk and drink for whitening anytime, anywhere. It also comes off without leaving messy residue behind. The whitening kit costs about $45 and will leave a lasting whiter smile for an entire year, making whitening an affordable feat.

    H2O – Moisturizing is important, but any expert will tell you that the best way for skin to look gorgeous is to drink plenty of water. When your body is hydrated, you will look and feel your best. Adequate intake of water, about eight glasses a day, provides bright eyes, a radiant complexion, and increased energy.

    Go for the Bronze – A red carpet dress almost always requires showing some skin. Brighten your look up with a tanning mousse or body lotion. Use
a formula that allows for gradual build-up, to build your way up to the shade that works best for you. Some lotions even have skin firming effects, which will further glam up your gams.

    Focus Factor – When it comes to make-up, don’t over-do it. Focus on one area to really make a statement. If you choose a bold pink or a bright red lip color, use a neutral eye shadow. If you go for smoky eyes, use a light pink or nude stain on the lips.

    Tame Your Mane – Having great hair will really pull your look together. Deep condition your hair every two weeks for the healthiest hair possible and prevent frizz by shampooing your hair the night before. Sleep with hair wrapped in a loose bun and you will awaken to luscious waves. A great way to add some style for the big night out is to tie the waves back into a low ponytail. Make a deep side part and place the ponytail two inches off to one side. Add a shine serum to acquire a silky, gleaming ‘do.
