Best Hair and Makeup At The 2013 Oscars

Here are our favorite picks for best hair and makeup at the 2013 Oscars. What did you think about the looks of the night. We certainly saw that long wavy longs continue to be a big trend this award season. These beautiful waves would translate beautifully for a bridal look. We also noticed the absence of bright colors, especially in lipstick. So very different than last years trends. On the makeup front it was all smokey eyes and natural subdued looks. It was all about simple, yet chic styles.

Charlize shows all you need is some perfect falsies, a nude lip and some glowing soft bronzer to make a statement.We just can’t get enough of that short hairstyle and love the edginess of the hair with such soft makeup.

Reese Witherspoon always looks beautiful in a classic look. We love these waves for a bride and that pretty pink lip.

Jessica Chastain looked super chic in a classic old Hollywood style. Again with see those fabulous waves and one of the only stars who rocked the perfect red lip.

Zoe Saldana pulled off the smoky eye and nude lip without a blink. We think this will be a big look in 2013.

Amanda Seyfried looked super sexy in some purple cat eyes and a up swept hairstyle.

Kerry Washington has been the it girl this entire award season. We love her matte makeup and glossy waves.

Sandra Bullock stood out from the waves with this sleek hairstyle and just loved the overall simply chic look.

Girls Night Out Makeup Looks Captured by Carla Ten Eyck

It was a girls night out in West Hartford at the gorgeous Cuvee that has an upscale lounge atmosphere with small plates of gourmet decadence paired with their selection of fine wines and champagnes. Needless to say this photo shoot was beyond fun and refreshing. Together with photographer Carla Ten Eyck brought to life are some girls night out makeup looks and paired with the ever so beautiful jewelery pieces by Aquinnah (we carry these beauties here at the salon). The inspiration was to capture a fun night out and in a Vanity Fair-ish style with an eclectic array of looks both in fashion and beauty. A tremendous thank you to our super beautiful models. Enjoy the girls night out makeup looks and I hope it inspires you for your next ladies night. – Dana

Bridal Hair and Makeup CT The Riverview by Greg Lewis Photography

Considering we have a blizzard heading our way, it is wonderful to look back at a beautiful summer wedding and know we have the sun to look forward to. Our bride Jocelyn picked a beautiful classic and elegant bridal look for her wedding at The Riverview. Navy blue with pops of purple and pink graced the day and were perfect for a summer New England Wedding. Jocelyn was ahead of the trends, as we saw on the red carpet, 2013 will be the year for loose long waves. Soak up the sun today with these wonderful images by Greg Lewis Photography. Go cozy up and stay warm this weekend as we all hunker down and get ready for a few days of significant snow. -Dana
