There's a trick to getting the perfect hair part: After hairstylist Adir Abergel prepped the hair with Virtue Correct Polish Un-Frizz Cream to create a smooth foundation, he created a deep side part using the arch of the eyebrow as a reference point for precision. It was the perfect spot!

Nobody said getting perfect brows was easy. To create the look, makeup artist Jillian Dempsey used a brow pencil, then brushed them out with a dry mascara wand. She then used Laura Mercier Sketch & Intensify Pomade and Powder Brow Duo (an E! Beauty Awards winner!) to create shape. Jillian then finished the brows with Laura Mercier Eye Brow Gel, a product she uses herself!

Olivia Munn
To top off the award show host's look, hairstylist Chad Wood perfected her hair line. "I added my secret weapon—the Toppik Hair Building Fibers—to Olivia's hair line and part in Dark Brown to blend and soften the look. This is a great trick especially when in front of bright camera lights!" he said.

"My inspiration for Lizzie's makeup was English garden," said makeup artist Daniel Martin. "Her Erdem dress and its embellishments were the jump-off to a subtle smoky eye in steel gray and rosy cheeks." To get the smoky eye, apply a mix of the Charcoal & Pewter Shimmer shades from Honest Beauty's Everything Makeup Palette across the outer corners of the eye. Next, use the Champagne Shimmer shadow in the inside corners.

"This look was inspired by the Georges Chakra dress that stylist Kemal Harris chose. The peacock feathers and incredible silhouette made me instantly want to play in the realm of a Romantic Mohawk to match," said hairstylist Matt Fugate. To create the volumized look, the hairstylist prepped the strands with a strong hold hairspray, Kérastase Laque Noire. Starting from the back and working his way forward, he rolled and pinned sections.
