Don’t you just love awards season? We sure do! It’s so much fun to anticipate who will be wearing who, which new beauty and fashion trends will reveal themselves on the red carpet, and which star will earn the coveted title of “Best Dressed.” Although we ourselves may never get to wear a designer gown or have a famous jeweler loan us a million dollars worth of diamonds to wear for a night, there’s still a way to get a little red carpet glamour in your life. We’re talking about the 2017 awards season hair and makeup trends! Here’s some inspiration for you to request at your next Salon James appointment:
Braided Updo
For the Golden Globes, Lily Collins sported an absolutely breathtaking updo fit for a princess. Her rich, dark locks were expertly piled atop her head with small braids twisted throughout. A formal, elegant style that bucks the long-standing trend of loose, unfussy beach waves that so many celebrities rock on the red carpet. We think this look is perfect for the upcoming wedding season!
80’s Inspired Volume
Yes, hair in the 80’s was more than just big perms. Kristen Bell turned heads with a side-swept lob (long bob) that was notable for its volume. It was “big hair” for modern times, giving a nod to the 80’s without copying it directly or looking too stiff. If you’re not crazy about the waves, still consider the lob cut! It’s universally flattering and less frightening than a bigger chop if you have long locks.
Bold, Deep Lip Color
One makeup trend to stand out on the red carpet this awards season is a dark, bold lip. Kerry Washington rocked a deep plum shade at the Golden Globes, and Priyanka Chopra wowed in a striking oxblood hue. To pull off this look, you’ll want to keep the rest of your makeup simple to allow your pout to pop. Ask your Salon James makeup artist to match the perfect bold lip color for your unique skin tone!
