Red Hot Beauty Trend!

Diana Kruger is always one step ahead in the style stakes, this time its with her autumn beauty look that's leading the way!
Diana Kruger is always one too watch with her fashion-forward way of thinking. This stunning actress has been out and about promoting her new film Inglourious Besterds, channelling a selection of hot fashion and beauty looks. One of her hottest red carpet beauty moments, was when she stepped out wearing on of the hottest make-up looks- red lips. Diana added a touch of colour to her nude-coloured Herve Leger by Max Azria dress. Yves Saint Laurent, Erdem, Giles and Gucci all marched their models down the autumn catwalk wearing bright red lipstick. The Erdem models channelled our favourite beauty look this season, as their models all had electric-red lips with pale, powdered skin. If youre looking to copy the look then stick to these rules The paler your skin tone the brighter you can go Tone down heavy make-up on eyes and cheeks to avoid looking like Jordan Red Lipstick can bleed, so make sure you line your lips with a lip liner first If your complexion is pink then stick to plum shades If you have a yellow skin tone stick to browner shades Avoid red nails as this can look too matchy-matchy

Red Carpet Hairstyles



Classic Hairstyle

After applying a straightening cream on your damp hair, blow dry with a round brush. Then, brush you hair back and twist it into a low chignon. Later, pin the chignon and fold it neatly with the help of hair pin and clips. There you are! You have your very own classic red carpet hairstyle.

Ringlet Curls
This is a very sophisticated hairstyle with ringlet curls. All you have to do is to center part your hair first. Then apply curl enhancing gel or mousse all over your curly hair. Use a drier or iron to set the curls and make neat ringlets. Now, in order to keep the frizz at bay, set the longer layers in front and shorter at back with serum. And here you have recreated your own fabulous Halle Berry look.

Choppy Chic Hairstyle
Wish to look sweet, sassy, and sexy at the same time? Best suited for medium length hair, first of all get your tress chopped with uneven ends. Apply straightening gels to set them. Front locks or fringes will give you a sexy look. Experiment a bit by highlighting your hair or wearing colorful hair mascara on this hairstyle.

Long Wavy Locks

The long wavy locks will add volume to your hair. Try mixing the wavy curls with the help of hair iron and hold them in position by applying a hair spray and intense shine hair serum. Highlighting these curls will add glamour to your entire look.
