All the Details of Mandy Moore's Emmys Beauty Look

Mandy Moore had a lot to smile about on the Emmy red carpet. The actress is capping off an already celebratory week, in which she got engaged to boyfriend of two years Taylor Goldsmith and landed a big beauty gig as the new face of Garnier, with a visit to the awards show where This Is Us has five nominations. Stepping out solo in a black-and-white Carolina Herrera dress and custom Jennifer Meyer jewelry and that oh-so-pretty new accessory on her left hand, the star, 33, completed her look (styled by Erica Cloud) with a romantic updo, bold lip and subdued nails, and PeopleStyle has all the scoop on how it came together straight from her glam squad: hairstylist Ashley Streicher, makeup artist Jenn Streicher and manicurist Michelle Saunders.

The Scene

The Streicher Sisters arrived at their Beverly Hills beauty studio STRIIIKE around 10:30 that morning to prep, make coffee and set up an award-worthy meant and cheese plate, says Ashley Streicher. "Because Mandy prefers to get ready at our space, we make it as lovely as possible!"

While the squad has getting the actress red-carpet ready down to a science, there was an exciting new wrinkle in tonight's session: Moore's engagement news. Makeup artist Jenn Streicher says their time together was "definitely celebratory! We cheered so many times. Her best friend Raina even came and bought caviar and crackers. It was a party!" Adds Ashley, "We love throwing events and this was an extra special event that we loved having. It felt very special and fun."

The Nails

"Usually the dress and jewels inspire the nail color and that was definitely the case today," explains manicurist Michelle Saunders, revealing the duo "worked off her Carolina Herrera dress, custom Jennifer Meyer pink tourmaline jewelry and of course that new piece of jewelry on her left hand!"

According to the pro, the newly-engaged star "had her heart set on an understated, elegant look, but also wanted to bring some fun to the red carpet." So the two decided to create a low-key two-tone look using two Essie shades, Ballet Slippers and Muchi, Muchi.

Keeping Moore's nails "slightly longer than usual to highlight the subtle nail art" Saunders started by applying Ballet Slippers at the base of the nail creating a half-moon shape, and topped the rest of the nail with the creamy pink mauve shade.

The Makeup

While manicurist Saunders was busy taking Moore's new ring into consideration, makeup artist Jenn Streicher was focused on Moore's black eye.

"Knowing that she hurt her eye only a few weeks ago, I didn't want to mess with it, so I knew I was going to do a lip."

Streicher lightly applied Retrouvé Revitalizing Eye Concentrate around Moore's delicate eye area, then added just a light wash of bronze, copper and rose gold hues from Laura Mercier to softly highlight the star's eyes.

The decision to pick bright pink was an easy one for the duo, who often reach for statement-making colors.

"I really wanted to go with the bold pink color, and Mandy agreed!  She was wearing such a beautiful choker with pink diamonds, so I wanted to give a nod to that with a pop of color, which is my M.O.!"

The shade? Laura Mercier Velour Lovers Lip Colour in French Kiss. "One day I was wearing this color and Mandy asked me what it was, so I gave it to her. She loves it!"

The Hair

"The first time Mandy tried the dress on I had thrown her hair up in a messy french twist, so the pictures we had of her initially were pretty perfect as far as the hair was concerned," reveals Ashley.

For today's look, she applied a pea-size amount of Garnier Fructis Style Smooth Blow Dream Anti-Frizz Cream to damp hair. "It's a great base product to eliminate frizz but light enough to add more products over." To maintain volume at her roots, Ashley massaged a mousse on her scalp, then rough-dried the area. Next she sprayed Garnier Fructis Style Mega Full Thickening Lotion on Moore's damp ends for "mega texture and hold." Then she blow-dried Moore's hair in small sections from the nape of her neck forward using a small round brush. "Just for some added texture and volume I went through and wrapped pieces around a one inch curling iron and sprayed an anti-humidity hairspray all over. I went through and did some slight back combing from the crown to ensure the hair pins will hold tight." Then Ashley swept her hair up into a clean, french twist.

All in all, the style took about an hour and a half to create. "We get distracted easily," Ashley admits.

Looking for fresh makeup ideas?

ALBERTA FERRETTI: "The most beautiful girl in the world" is what makeup artist Tom Pecheaux aimed at while creating the beauty look for Alberta Ferretti — "a very sexy woman," Pecheaux underscored. Smoky eyes defined by a little bit of eyeliner were key. On top, a very fresh lavender glitter by MAC Cosmetics highlighted eyelids and cheekbones. It's not a glossy look, but a glowy one: "We replaced the gloss with a glitter," Pecheaux explained. The makeup played with the contrast of a very satiny skin and nude lips. Skin was prepared with a massage and a little bit of contour, while no powder was used, and it was smoothed with Waterweight foundation by MAC Cosmetics, in a way that it looked flawless but natural. Waterweight foundation was used on the cheek contour, two shades darker than the model's skin tone.

FENDI: The beauty look at Fendi was all about the eye. Makeup artist Peter Philips shaped a very graphic makeup to get a "strong, bold effect," he said. Inspired by the ready-to-wear collection, Philips mixed ranges of colors to get to a petrol, blue-green hue, which matched the clothes. A little bit of black mascara was used on the top lashes. The smoky eye played with the contrast of a natural yet luminous skin, which was prepared using Diorskin Star Foundation, a touch of contouring, no blush, but a wash of powder only. Lips and nails were kept natural, to balance strong graphic eyes.

PRADA: Speaking about the beauty look at Prada, makeup artist Pat McGrath described a very strong, independent and individual woman. A tomboy-like girl, because "tomboys can be beautiful." The inspiration came from the idea of a very fresh and honest girl who is direct and sensual at the same time. No mascara was used on the eyelashes, while eyebrows were mainly brushed up. Eyelids were smoothed with a Pat McGrath Lab palette in the more natural matte hue because "it's all about the skin" McGrath underscored, as the inspiration comes from a very direct woman. To highlight the skin, she used a light touch of foundation, "almost used as a contour." Lips were just balmed and kept natural and nails followed the same trend: they were just kept neutral, only well-polished.

GIORGIO ARMANI: Graphic eyes that match with graphic hair. This time "we wanted to do something more [artistic] and more free," makeup artist Linda Cantello said, speaking about how she studied the look with Giorgio Armani for spring. The look was about black-and-white shadows and the makeup was applied as it was a painting, a painted skin that one can mix and match and blend. A strong black line defined the eyes with shadows and white flashes of light, but this contrast was modeled by respecting each girl's personality. As the focus was on the eye, skin had a fresh look. A brand new base was prepared for skin, a whitish highlighter that can be blended — and will come out in a line in April.

ETRO: A massive show with nearly 100 male and female models, to start the celebrations of the 50th anniversary of the company founded in 1968. Etro's atmosphere was a mix of tradition and innovation and was inspired by the idea of a woman on her trip to India. Makeup artist Mark Carrasquillo created "a real gentle and delicate makeup," as he explained. Skin was almost bare as the focus was on a natural shiny face. A delicate highlighter was used on the nose, on the chin and around the eye. No mascara on the eyelashes and a little bit of concealer helped give a "super-gentle version of the girl's beauty." A luminous, gorgeous glowy yet natural skin: "A very easy but pretty beauty." Lips were very well-balmed and left neutral to emphasize a great natural beauty.

MISSONI: "It's all about the eyes, which become very graphic and almost neon," makeup artist Lynsey Alexander said. The inspiration came from those late Eighties, early Nineties cool pictures. "Think about Amber Valletta," Alexander said, as shot by Craig McDean. To get the bold graphic shades on the eyes, Alexander used a combination of acrylic paints to create custom Missoni color on green, purple and blue hues. No mascara was used on the eyelids and skin was kept fresh and natural, too, while a smidgen of concealer was used only if needed. Prime Highlighter pen helped brighten below the eyes.

MARNI: The dream of a treasure hunt, where we need beauty, eclecticism and "individualism," said makeup artist Pat McGrath, describing Marni's beauty look. "We wanted all the girls to have bold colorblocking," in blue, baby blue and green. Color was dabbed as if the makeup was applied with one's fingers, in an elongated shape. No mascara was used and, as a contrast, skin was kept fresh, with no blush but just foundation and concealer.

Best new autumn beauty trends to try

Hair colour: METAL HEAD 

When it comes to colour this season, think futuristic. While grey was a massive trend last year, the look has been updated for autumn with a metallic silver finish.

"Clients are being more open to experimenting with colour," says Jack Howard, hair colourist at Paul Edmonds London.

"Metallic colour is a great option as you can achieve a very soft and subtle effect or go for something very bold and iridescent such as all-over silver. This makes it very accessible, irrespective of your age. "It is a very versatile trend and that's why it is going to be so popular. It suits all skin tones, too, you just need to find the right shade for you."

Jack says ashy shades work well on cooler skin tones and champagne hues are great on those with a warmer complexion.

To try the trend, L'Oréal Professional Metalight service, which is available nationwide, involves having shimmering metallic highlights delicately placed for a beautiful luminous effect.

Or for a more dramatic look, the Supernova Root Smudge combines striking dark metallic grey at the roots with softer shades of silver in the lengths.

Hair style: CHOP CHOP 

Recent research has revealed that 14 per cent of women in the UK get their hair cut shorter at the end of summer.

"Hair can end up frazzled after the summer months due to overexposure to the sun, chlorine and other environmental factors so it is a great time to go for the chop," says hairdresser and Ghd ambassador Adam Reed.

"Whether you embrace a choppy pixie crop, go for a blunt bob or play around with the new on-trend textured long bob, there is a shorter style to suit all face shapes."

This year, Ghd has teamed up with The Little Princess Trust for a campaign that allows you to donate your chopped-off hair.

The charity makes real-hair wigs for children who have lost their own hair through cancer treatment and other illnesses. It can accept a minimum hair donation of seven inches – or 17cm – so what better reason to go for the chop? Visit ghdhair.com to find your local participating salon.

Nails: FLOWER POWER 

Whether handpainted at Kenzo or stuck on at Preen, floral nails were everywhere on the autumn/winter 2017 catwalks and are set to be a huge trend this season.

"This is a great trend as you can adapt it to suit you," says OPI nail expert Jenni Draper. Jenni recommends a trip to your local crafts shop to pick up some pretty pressed flowers.

Choose small flowers so they will fit on your nails and trim the blooms so they are the right size and shape before you begin. "Start with a neutral or clear base and apply two coats. While the polish is drying, gently press the flowers on to the nail.

"For a modern look, don't use a top coat as this will add shine and may squash the flowers."

You can add as many or as few flowers as you like, from all over to just one on a single nail. Alternatively, channel your inner artist and paint on flowers.

"Start again with a neutral base and use a cocktail stick to apply one central dot per flower, followed by five dots around the outside," says Jenni. "Keep the dots close together and drag each one inwards to give a pretty petal effect." To finish, apply OPI Plumping Top Coat, £14.50 (opiuk.com) to keep it all in place.

Skincare: GLASS SKIN 

Hailing from Korea and seen on the autumn/winter 2017 catwalks at Phillip Lim and Max Mara, the latest skincare trend to try is "glass skin".

"This is such a popular trend as it is what so many of us are striving for: flawless and youthful skin."

Ultra clean skin is the first step, so invest in an oil cleanser such as Time Bomb Peace & Quiet Coconut Cleansing Oil, £25 (timebombco. com).

"Oil has a smaller molecular structure than creams or lotions which means it gets to work at a deeper level of your skin, plus you'll be hydrating, soothing and cleansing your skin all at once," says Michaella.

For fresh, dewy skin choose an exfoliator with alpha and beta hydroxy acids (AHA/BHA) such as Radical Skincare Age-Defying Exfoliating Pads, £48 (spacenk.com) and use twice a week to remove dead, dull and drab skin. "Hydration is key for a sheen so I would suggest layering hydrating products in true Korean style," says Michaella.

"Choose a high percentage hyaluronic acid serum, followed by a plant-based facial oil and finish off with a lightweight yet super hydrating moisturiser."

"This sees skin that is so smooth, hydrated and poreless that it appears translucent and sheens like glass," says Time Bomb skincare expert Michaella Bolder.

Make-up: SUNSET EYES 

Update your eyes for autumn with a sunset shadow. Striking orange haloes around the eyes were seen backstage at the autumn/winter 2017 J JS Lee show, and Pinterest has reported a 420 per cent increase in searches for "burnt orange eyeshadow" in the past six months.

"Creating an autumnal sunset eye is about choosing one shade and building around it with different depths of that shade," says Danielle Roberts, senior make-up artist for Urban Decay.

"The brow bone should be highlighted with a neutral. The crease shade should be a beautiful orange or burgundy, transitioning into a softer shade, with a darker version of the crease on the lid."
