Volume, elegance, softness - all attributes of the evening's look in beauty and hair. Stars bloomed in rosy lips, more sheer and glossy than the bolder lips of the Golden Globes. There was a marked fluidness about the ladies, from their soft, feminine hair to their long, flowy goddess gowns.

Experts share their tips and how-to's so we may create the looks.

From Pureology PureArtists, Mary Katherine Hecht, Wendy Belanger, Sherilynn Smart and April Webster share tips on these hair trends seen at the show.

Soft, peek-a-boo waves
1. Create a left side part. Take a two inch pie section on the right side and spray the hair with Pureology SuperSmooth Hot Iron Protection Spray.
2. Using a one inch iron curl the hair away from the face. Pin with a single prong pin.
3. Take another two inch pie section below the first section and curl towards the face. Secure with a single prong pin.
4. Continue to use this technique with two inch pie sections alternating the way the curl is facing until you get to the back of the left ear.
5. Take the left side section and curl towards the face and secure with single prong pin.
6. Set with Pureology InCharge, and when the set is cool, release the pins.
7. Use a soft brush to smooth it out, push the waves into shape.
8. Apply Pureology ShineLuxe to your hands and finger rake the hair to detail the waves.
9. Finish off with GlossingMist and InChargePlus Firm Finishing Spray.

Low textured bun
1. Create a left side part.
2. Use Pureology DryShine HairStyler to add texture to the hair, use fingers to rake the hair back into a loose pony-tail placed opposite of the lips.
3. Use a wide tooth comb to comb the hair that has been created in the low pony-tail, this allows the hair to show some of its natural texture.
4. Use a piece of the hair from the pony-tail to wrap around the rubber band.
5. Separate the hair into two sections. Take the top section and twist and fold the hair to the right of the pony-tail, then secure with bobby pins.
6. Take the bottom section and twist the hair and fold it to the left, and then secure with bobby pins.
7. Spray with InCharge Flexible Styling Spray and spread the hair apart to loosen the buns.
8. Finish with Pureology GlossingMist and InChargePlus Firm Finishing Spray.

Hair: Stylist and co-founder of David Babaii for WildAid, David Babaii, shares his tips for getting Angelina Jolie’s red-carpet hair for the awards' show. To capture Angelina's effortlessly elegant style, David blow dried wet tresses to create a shiny, frizz free foundation. Next, he randomly curled her entire chocolate mane to form beautifully tousled waves. To ensure volume at the root area, spray David Babaii for WildAid Volcanic Ash Root Amplifier. Slightly back comb sections of hair and smooth out with a brush to achieve desired height. Create a low bun at the nape of the neck by gathering sections of curls and securing with black bobby pins. Finish with David Babaii for WildAid Mise En Plis Extra Hold Styling Spray for a dazzling red carpet style.

Beauty: Celebrity makeup artist Mary Burton wanted to create a 60’s look and chose to focus on Angelina’s eyes by applying lots of eyeliner and mascara. She used my holy grail of eyeliners Lancôme Artliner in Noir, a liquid liner, just above the lash line. To compliment Angelina’s eye color and to make her eyes really stand out, she applied a bluish grey eyeshadow YSL Ombre Solo Double Effect Eyeshadow in #3 Blue Silk to the eyelid. Finally, she applied several coats of Lancôme Courbe Virtuôse Mascara in Black. Mary added a touch of pink to the apples of the cheeks using Shu Uemura blush in M Pink 31. To create ultra-shiny and luminous lips, Mary used Lancôme Color Fever Gloss in Rose Jolie.

Hair: Kate Winslet’s glamorous low bun and side swept bang as seen on the red carpet was created exclusively by Frederic Fekkai stylist Renato Campora using Fekkai products. Apply FEKKAI MORE ALL DAY DENSITY MOUSSE to wet hair for added volume. On the bottom portion only apply FEKKAI COIFF MAGNIFIQUE to ends for a smooth blowout and to protect hair from the heat of styling tools. Using the FEKKAI EXTRA LARGE ROUND BRUSH blow dry hair and part on the right side. Once completely dry, use a one inch curling iron throughout hair to create tousled movement with dimension. Apply FEKKAI TECHNICIAN GLAZE to ends working it through with fingers for texture that is not too heavy. Tease the top of the head ever so slightly to create a touch of height. Next pull hair back into a low ponytail. Create a loose braid and twist it around to form a bun. Secure with pins. Making a braid helps to keep the bun from appearing to severe and gives it the soft modern touch.

Beauty: Celebrity makeup artist Jillian Dempsey played up Kate’s eyes with lots of black eyeliner, mascara and shimmering shadow paired with a soft neutral palette on her lips and cheeks. Jillian used Lancôme Artliner in Noir on the upper lash line and then lightly dusted Jillian Dempsey Professional for Avon Eyeshadow Trio in Pebble Wash on the eyelid. She finished the eyes with a few coats of Lancôme Ôscillation Mascara in Black. For the lips, she used Serge Lutens nude lip liner and filled in the entire lip. Finally, she applied Color Fever Gloss in Engaging, a very sheer nude shade, for a high-shine pout. To compliment Kate’s vibrant look, fashion manicurist Deborah Lippmann polished her nails with a sheer, misty pink called Prelude To A Kiss.
