Reese Witherspoon's Brigitte Bardot-Inspired Beauty
At last night's Critics' Choice Awards, Reese Witherspoon's voluminous waves and neutral makeup won us over for its glam throwback.

To get the look, hair stylist Adir Abergel prepped Witherspoon's damp hair with John Frieda Luxurious Volume Fine to Full Blow-Out Spray from mid-shaft to ends to create volume. After parting her bangs down the middle, he used a medium round brush to blow the hair dry.

Using a 1-inch curling iron, Abergel loosely curled the hair, leaving the ends out. Then, he sprayed it with John Frieda Beach Blonde Sea Waves Sea Salt Spray to add separation. After teasing the hair at the crown, Abergel used John Frieda Frizz Ease KeraFlex Flexible Hold Hairspray, finishing with John Frieda Frizz Ease Secret Weapon Touch-Up Créme on the ends for a piecey, textured look.

For Witherspoon's makeup, Molly R. Stern applied Chantecaille Future Skin Foundation, contouring the cheeks with an apricot blush. For a light smoky eye, Stern used Dior Diorshow Fusion Mono Matte Eyeshadow in 761 Mirage, and Nars Matte Eyeshadow in Blondie. After lining Witherspoon's upper and lower lash line with Jillian Dempsey Khol Eyeliner in Jet Black, she smudged it out and added two coats of black mascara.

To complete the look, Stern gave Witherspoon a pale pink lip with Burt's Bees Lip Crayon in Sedona Sands.

Kate Bosworth is the Latest Celeb to Get the Chop
As if the tousled bobs parading down the Golden Globes red carpet this past weekend weren't already giving us the itch to chop our hair, Kate Bosworth's short hair debut at last night's NYC premiere of "Still Alice" has us reaching for the scissors.

John Frieda Creative Consultant (and celeb hairstylist extraordinaire) Harry Josh cut and styled Bosworth's sleek new bob with just two styling essentials. First, on wet hair, Josh applied John Frieda Luxurious Volume Fine to Full Blow-Out Spray. After drying the hair using his Harry Josh Pro Tools Pro Dryer 2000 and a round brush, Josh pinned large sections, giving them time to set as they cooled. Once he let the hair down, Josh used his fingers to get the slight waves to sit just right.

Felicity Jones Reinvents the Red Lip
English actress Felicity Jones kicked off the new year at the Palm Springs Film Festival with a classic, Old Hollywood makeup look. Complete with a loose updo and floor-length Monique Lhuillier gown, Jones set the 2015 beauty bar high.

Working with Dior, makeup artist Sabrina Bedrani started by using Dior Glow Maximizer Primer and Diorskin Star Foundation to give Jones's skin a luminous finish. For the eyes, Bedrani applied Diorshow Mono Eyeshadow in Ribbon all over the lids, then lined the upper and lower lash lines with Dior Crayon Eyeliner Waterproof in Trinidad Black. A coat of Diorblush Vibrant Color Powder Blush in Cocktail Peach, and then set the makeup with Diorskin Nude Air Healthy Glow Invisible Loose Powder.

The key to the whole look, of course, was the lip shade: Bedrani chose Diorific Lipstick in Dolce Vita for a red-orange pop of color.

Krysten Ritter's Holiday-Party-Ready Smoky Eye
Krysten Ritter attended last night's NYC premiere of "Big Eyes" with a smudged out smoky eye that's perfect for the holiday season. She wore a black and gold, pleated J. Mendel dress and side-parted bun at the nape of the neck to round out her classic red carpet look.

To recreate Ritter's makeup, Amy Nadine prepped her skin with Eve Lom Flawless Radiance Primer, Pür Minerals Tone Up Eye Cream and Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm. Nadine then applied Pür Minerals 4-in-1 Pressed Mineral Makeup Foundation with SPF 15 in Light all over the face, as well as Tom Ford Correcting Pen in Light under the eyes. Chanel Soleil Tan de Chanel Bronzer was used along the cheekbones, temple, hairline and jawline for a light contour, with Charlotte Tilbury Air Brush Flawless Finish Skin Perfecting Micro Powder in Fair dusted all over the face to set the makeup.

Nadine added a pop of pink to the cheeks with blush from the Pür Minerals These Eyes Don't Lie Limited Edition Set. And she applied Pür Minerals Chateau de Vine Mineral Lipstick in Scarlet to give Ritter's lips a hint of color.

To create the smoky eye look, Nadine applied the silver shade from the Pür Minerals These Eyes Don't Lie Limited Edition Set all over the lid, and she used the taupe shade in the crease. Nadine lined the upper lash line and inner water line with Pür Minerals Mineral Eye Defining Eyeliner in Onyx and added a few individual Ardell lashes before swiping on Pür Minerals Big Look Mascara.

Candice Swanepoel's Model Off Duty Look
When we caught up with Victoria's Secret Angel Candice Swanepoel earlier this week, it became abundantly clear that while we may not have her long legs (sigh), we can try out her casual hair and makeup look.

We chatted about the holidays (Swanepoel is gifting the new Scandalous collection to her family when she heads home to South Africa) and the upcoming VS Fashion Show in London, which airs on December 9. "I'm living in sweatpants and sneakers right now because I'm always at the gym or traveling," Swanepoel says. Then we headed straight over to hairstylist Harry Josh and makeup artist Hung Vanngo so we could copy Swanepoel's gorgeous beauty look for ourselves.

"Candice was in the mood to do something really natural and tousled," Josh says of the supermodel's hair. To get the perfect undone waves, he says to focus on creating volume by applying mousse through wet hair and blowing out with a round brush. For added volume at the roots, Josh recommends wrapping the front sections in Velcro rollers while the hair cools. Then, use a 1-inch curling iron and "haphazardly take 1-inch sections around the head … and then shake [the curls] out for a beachy texture."

For her model off duty makeup, Vanngo says it was all about simplicity by concentrating on "keeping the skin very fresh." For the eyes he used a brown shadow (try CK One Powder Eye Shadow in Evolved on the lid and Infinite on the inner corners), liner and mascara (Swanepoel swears by Max Factor). To finish the look, Vanngo says to add a light pink cream blush on the cheeks and a lip balm.
