Golden Globes 2011-Piper Perabo

Actress Piper Perabo (best known from her role in Coyote Ugly) was on trend at this year's Golden Globe Awards with her sleek ponytail and black fishtail Oscar de la Renta gown. Like Eva Longoria, and Julia Stiles, the actress had a fitted bodice and a more flowing skirt with a train. They were, however, among the few actresses who wore black. Celebrities seemed intent on showing off color and sparkle. Perabo's hair looked great and was another popular look. J.Lo, Julianne Moore and True Grit's Hailee Steinfeld were among the other ladies to wear the easy, chic style.

Perabo also opted for the always classic red lip and clean classic face for her makeup. Troy Surratt, one of my favorite celebrity makeup artists created her polished look. Surratt says the inspiration for the look was a modern take on classic Hollywood with long lashes and luscious red lips. Here's what he did:

-Surratt created a smooth canvas on the skin with COVERGIRL Simply Ageless Foundation and warmed her up with some bronzer and light pink powder blush.

-On her eyes he used the lighter color of COVERGIRL Smoky ShadowBlast in Bronze Fire on the lid and set it with a powder eyeshadow. He finished the eyes by creating long lashes with COVERGIRL LashBlast Length.

-To create her luscious red lips he first applied COVERGIRL Outlast Lipstain in Scarlet Pucker so the color would last all night and topped it with COVERGIRL Lip Perfection in Hot for extra glamour.
