Charlotte Tilbury On How You Can Nail Emma Robert’s Glamtastic Oscars Beauty Look.

Rex Features

She’s one of the most in demand make-up artists with Penelope Cruz, Kim Kardashian, Kate Moss and Amal Clooney as both regular clients and close friends, so it should be no surprise that Charlotte Tilbury was called on by actress Emma Roberts for her Oscar’s beauty look.

Going with a 1940s bombshell look (also seen on Emma Stone), Charlotte began by prepping Emma’s skin with her new Magical Facial Dry Sheet Mask, which launches later this month, before applying the Light Wonder foundation. The medium coverage foundation covers imperfections and leaves the skin with a lit-from-within glow.

Then for contour, Charlotte used her Filmstar Bronze and glow palette, applying the darker shade just below the cheekbones and the highlight on the top, creating shape and definition.

The 1940s bombshell look was amped with when Charlotte then applied the shade Red Carpet Red (of course). Emma’s lips were lined with the Kiss ‘N’ Tell pencil to make them appear fuller.

Moving onto eyes, Charlotte used a mix of a metallic bronze cream shadow in Bette on the lid and the gold-hued cream shadow in the shade Bette in the inner corner of Emma’s.

The look was enhanced with a reddish, gold-flecked eye shadow pencil in Bronzed Garnet used to line the upper lashes, finishing in Charlotte’s signature feline flick before mascara was applied on the top lashes only.

Meet The Groomer Who Is Giving Dogs Beyonce-Level Hair

Jess Rona/Instagram

If the dogs on Jess Rona’s Instagram feed could talk, they’d ask, “Beyoncé, what’s good?” At least, that’s what we think considering the wind machine they sit in front of in Rona’s videos looks just as powerful as one Bey would use.

Thanks to a mix of haircut photos and the aforementioned slo-mo wind machine videos, which are always set to a perfect soundtrack, the L.A.-based groomer’s Instagram account has gone viral. Rona’s 117,000-and-counting followers keep her in their feeds to see the stylish cuts she gives her furry clients.

In-between double-tapping pretty much  every post Rona has uploaded since she's started sharing her work on Instagram, we talked to her about how her grooming Instagram account came to be, the art of picking the perfect song for her dog videos, and all the hair trends that exist in the dog grooming world.

How did you get your start in dog grooming and what do you love about it?

I got my start as a dog bather actually. As an aspiring actress, it seemed like the most flexible non 9-5 type job I could do. In the beginning, I worked every odd job related to grooming; doggie daycare, front desk at a grooming salon, dog walking, assistant to a dog trainer, etc. I was lucky enough to have grooming mentors, and I started learning to groom slowly over the years. After juggling waiting tables at night and grooming part time during the day, I decided to stop waiting tables and really commit to getting as good as I could as a groomer. I love so many things about it. I get to express myself through dogs, I love the reaction of the clients when they see their clean babies, and I love being creative and playing with fun haircuts. And the best part about this crazy new Instagram success is that my two worlds are colliding.

When did you start capturing your work on Instagram and how did the videos come about?

Three years ago I started working for myself so I would have more time for auditions. I didn't have a ton of clients, so I was just taking my time with each pup. I created @JessRonaGrooming so I could post grooming-only photos. One day I was blow-drying a Pekingese named Noodle and her ears flew up in the air. I grabbed my phone and filmed it and posted it. (This was before the slo-mo feature.) I thought it was so funny. A few months later, I got a new phone with slo-mo and started playing around with music and timing. I listen to music all day, so it organically started to take shape when a song I was listening to matched the tone of the dog I was blow-drying. Then, it became my favourite thing to do.

Posting pet content has become a huge trend on Instagram. What are your tips for taking good dog/pet Instagram photos?

I love it if a pup is expressing a fun emotion. I look at other Instagram accounts for inspiration. I love @harlowandsage. I don’t know how she gets those dogs to pose the way she does, but it’s the cutest thing. I find that when I put some love into it, it’s genuine and from the heart, and people respond to it. Lastly, be inspired by your pet! If they’re doing something goofy or cute, snap a photo instead of trying to stage something forced.

Some of the dogs with the wind machine seriously rival Beyoncé. What breed/type of cut is your favorite to do, and do you keep your Instagram in mind when you’re doing cuts?

My favorite breeds to give haircuts on are mini poodles, but a good video needs some big fur flowing. I always want to put my best work on my Instagram, so I do try to do a good job. But my favorite breed (besides @TheGoodLifeOfStella) is a Cavalier King Charles. They don't need much trimming but a good blow out never does!

How is doing dog grooming different than human hair?

Each breed has a different coat type. Human hair is coarser. And a hair stylist for people doesn't clip nails, clean ears, and shave rears. (At least most don't.)

How do you go about choosing the cut for the dog? Are there dog hair trends?

Ooh! I'm all about Asian Fusion inspired looks. Not to be confused with that groomer who trimmed a dog's head in the shape of a box (so many people sent that to me). I like a whimsical cartoonish teddy bear look. I follow some fun Asian groomers on Instagram that give me inspiration. I also know that a dog's expression comes from the eyes, the shape of their ears and their feet. So those are the areas I focus on.

How do you deal with the haters or customers who get upset their dogs didn’t get selected for a video?

I had one lady get really mad at me because I didn't make a video of her dogs. She thought it was included in the grooming. So since she unleashed on me (pun intended), I now have a disclaimer with new clients explaining that videos are things I make for fun, and I don't guarantee them.

What are some other pet Instagram accounts everyone needs to follow?

I love: @marniethedog, @tunameltsmyheart, @dailydougie, and @harlowandsage. These are some other fun grooming accounts: @dogsalonvid, @dogdiamond_jp, @ame_to.m, @royboi_roigrooms, @tomopsk.

Surprise! Penn Badgley And Domino Kirke Are Married

Rex Features

Gossip Girl alumni Penn Badgley and doula-cum-musician Domino Kirke (sister to Lola and Jemima) wed in a private ceremony in Brooklyn on Monday, People reports.

Lola Kirke had alluded to her sister's recent nuptials in a series of Instagram photos posted to her account earlier on Monday. One of the shots shows Lola, Domino, Jemima, and Domino’s son, Cassius, posed against a courthouse backdrop. “When someone gets married in a courthouse, it's really an open invitation to everyone but the beautiful bride to explore all that fashion has to offer,” she wrote. “Here, I try a look simply called ‘Pants,’ as Cassius goes for ‘That Dude from #incubus’ and Jemima experiments with ‘Off to Therapy!’ Congratulations @dominokirke. We love you.”

The second post is an intimate selfie of Lola and her big sis. “It literally took every ounce of will power I possess not to flash a #boob in this #meaningful photo of my sister and me the night before her #WEDDING,” Lola joked, “Congratulations dommy. I love you that much.”

Congratulations to the newlyweds!

The Moonlight Cast Steams Up Calvin Klein’s Latest Underwear Campaign

Mahershala Ali celebrates his Oscar win by getting his top off

If anything can make you forget about the Oscars' best picture flub, this is it.

While Mahershala Ali and Trevante Rhodes have been suited up on the red carpet throughout awards season, the duo stripped down for Calvin Klein in a new campaign featuring the Moonlight cast, fresh off their much talked about Oscars wins.

And it's safe to say they've been hitting the gym. In the steamy shots, the new dad—and newly cemented best supporting actor Oscar winner—strips off his black crew neck T-shirt revealing his chiseled chest, six-pack abs, and a glimpse of his black Calvin Klein underwear under his slim-cut jeans.

"You get older and you think you have some things figured out, but these young actors reminded me of the power of exploring," Ali is quoted as saying in the caption of the shot that the brand shared on Instagram Monday.

Speaking of abs, Rhodes also showed off his immaculate eight-pack and the rest of his muscular body as he lounged in a leather chair wearing nothing but a black pair of CK cotton stretch hip briefs and a swoon-worthy smile.

"It's not so long ago I was waiting tables down the street from here, and now ...," he's quoted as saying in the caption. ⠀

The campaign, shot by Willy Vanderperre, marks Calvin Klein chief creative officer Raf Simons's first underwear-specific project for the label, and was released the day after Rhodes and other cast members rocked CK looks on the red carpet at the Academy Awards.

The black-and-white photo series, titled "Revelation," also features Ashton Sanders, who lounges on a couch in black CK boxer briefs, as well as 12-year-old Alex R. Hibbert, who repres

What You Can Learn from Naomie Harris’ Oscars Facialist

Teresa Tarmey may be on every A-lister’s speed dial, but she's famously tight-lipped about who she treats. Her celebrity fans include the likes of Kate Moss, Nicole Kidman and Poppy Delevingne and they go to the skincare supremo for her unrivalled nous with lasers or for one of her famous pre-event face-lifting massages. But Teresa remained resolutely mum when we grilled her this weekend, only conceding that she was in LA to give facials to some Oscar attendees.

Fortunately, her celeb fans are more forthcoming - here’s Naomie Harris’ Instagram shot of her mid-facial with Teresa:

While Teresa is reassuringly discreet about her clients, she was pretty forthcoming with tips on how to get a glow pre-event. Sharpen your pencils - these are the rules you really need to make a note of.

Rule one: skip extractions

"I wouldn’t ever suggest doing extractions before an event - it’s a really bad idea as it may make the skin red or sensitive post. Instead, I’d focus on using a lactic acid-based product to brighten the skin without any peeling."

Rule two: get massaging

"Another good tip if you have more time is to give yourself a facial massage. If you don’t find it easy to do yourself, just focus on stimulating the blood circulation which will in turn temporarily lift the muscle and, by extension, the skin."

Rule three: avoid oils

"Lots of people recommend using oils on skin but I personally don’t like to use them for massage - I find them messy, comedogenic, and sometimes find that essential oils can overwhelm the skin. I use my own blend of vitamins when giving a facial, but also sometimes apply Neo-Strata Firming Collagen Booster."

Rule four: try a laser

"If you can get to a good facialist pre-event, radio frequency is a great way to tighten, while an intense blast of hyaluronic acid can work wonders, too - I just got a Cryoskin machine in my treatment rooms and love using it before a big event.”
