Looking for a great style that you can take to a chic summer wedding or a fancy lunchtime affair? The search is over – Kerry Washington has the perfect hair and makeup to inspire you. While there’s no doubt she’s a gorgeous gal to begin with, it was really the effective use of product that helped make her look a winner at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association luncheon in Beverly Hills recently.

When it comes to your hair, you’ll need to do a blowout and use a curl enhancer like Leonor Greyl – Algues Et Fleurs to prep for styling. Then part your hair on the side and create bouncy ringlets with hot curlers or a curling iron. There should be plenty of volume involved.

For your makeup, choose a warm brown shade of eyeshadow and eyeliner, then focus on making your lash lines and creases smoky. Don’t bother lining your inner rims – just underneath the lash line on the bottom lids will work fine. Finish with a brown mascara.

Make sure your eyebrows are shaped to perfection, then contour your cheekbones with a great bronzer in the hollows and a peachy blush on the apples. Finish up with a light coral lipstick, and you’ll be looking as great as Kerry!
