From last minute beauty fixes to prolonged prep regimens, our experts spill their secrets for getting their clients red carpet ready:


Hair

“When I’m speed styling to get a celebrity ready for a live red carpet event, there’s often not enough time for a haircut.” says Nexxus Creative Director and Celebrity Stylist Kevin Mancuso.  “Nexxus ProMend Split End Binding Bodifying Mousse is my go-to product for guilt-free styling and a quick fix to damaged ends.  It gives hair the texture and pliability I need to create a gorgeous up or down ‘do that looks freshly cut and healthy.”

Lips

Celebrity Makeup Artist and CVS Beauty Board Member, Mickey Williams, puts her clients on a beauty regimen leading up to big events and recommends that they start prepping their teeth about two weeks out with a whitening kit.  She says, “They should begin paying extra attention to the condition of lips, which should be buffed and moisturized a few weeks in advance so that lipstick looks perfect.  I like shea butter formulas like Blistex Revive and Restore (which includes SPF 15) over petroleum products.”

Face
