Ask Rachel: Rock The Red Carpet

Dana,

Unlike a DIY-approach to hair color or self-shaping your eyebrows, creating your own red carpet look is definitely something you should try at home! Since you already decided on the dress—half the battle—now all it takes are the right styling tools, accessories and beauty look.

First thing first, I recommend building your own styling kit before you do anything else. Think of it as your go-to glam toolbox that you will be able to use again and again. A peek inside the styling kit at my studio and this is what you’ll find…

1. Hollywood Fashion Tape Double-Stick Strips 2. Miss Oops Rescue Sponges 3. NuBra Adhesive Bra 4. Commando Classic Thong 5. Foot Petals Killer Kushionz

On the hair and make-up front:

6. L’Oreal Elnett Satin Hair Spray 7. Goody Spin Pins 8. Dior Spring Look Lip Color 9. Kate Somerville Tanning Towelettes 10. Go Smile Touch Ups

Lastly, no red carpet look is complete without some dramaticexcessories, such as:

11. Valentino Bow-embellished Satin Clutch 12. Steven by Steve Madden Mercyy Pumps 13. Ben-Amun Crystal Earrings 14. Rachel Zoe for QVC Bold Fashion Ring 15. Jennifer Behr Barette

Now, go rock the red carpet and don’t forget to tweet me pics! xoRZ
