Rick Malambri
MARKTman: Rick Malambri
Rick Malambri, star of the upcoming Step-Up 3-D, isn’t your average good-looking LA actor. He doesn’t tan, he hates shaving, and he’s not into LA girls. “I’m not huge on the whole out-on-the-town look,” he explains. “I think you have to have some class to catch someone’s eye.” (Not that he’s looking—Malambri is happily married to the raven-haired beauty that appears in these photographs!) And don’t expect to spot Malambri on Rodeo Drive in a glittering Ed Hardy tee or a trucker hat anytime soon. “I go for a very casual look: Jeans, an American Apparel shirt and a military-looking baseball hat,” he says. He takes a similarly unconventional approach to his career. Rather than using his chiseled jawline and artfully disheveled hair to star in a string of frat-boy movies, he’s chosen interesting, eclectic projects. This year, he’ll play a retired rodeo cowboy in the Hallmark Channel’s After the Fall, a rich kid in Holiday Heist and a dancing film director in Step Up 3-D. “I have to work hard not to get pigeon-holed, but that’s always been really important to me,” he says.

6 Picks with Amanda Crew
Kevyn Aucoin The Precision Brow Pencil |

Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray |
YouTube |
| “I’m a low maintenance hair girl and this spray is perfect for that beachy, tousled look.” | “I’ve lost many hours of my life on here. Most notably would be the time my best friend and I spent a morning watching old music videos—specifically Backstreet Boys, Enrique Iglesias, Hanson and ’N Sync.” |

Beauty Girl’s 6 Picks
High Violet: The National |
Hourglass Cosmetics Illusion Tinted Moisturizer Oil Free SPF 15 in Ivory |
|
“This CD streamed on The New York Times website about a month before its release and I’ve been hooked ever since. It’s the perfect album to chill out with on a hot summer night.” |
“I haven’t touched a drop of foundation since high school—that is, until I tried this. It’s slightly shimmery and incredibly lightweight. I apply it with a soft brush for sheer, subtle coverage.” |
Elle MacPherson’s Brushed Out Waves |
Korres Sweet Orange Sunscreen SPF 25 Spray |
| “Mark might kill me, but I have to say I’m a little over sculpted, ’40s waves. These sexy, brushed out versions that celebs are sporting have been making me so happy. Does it get any better than Elle MacPherson’s thick, lush hair?” | “I’m incredibly fair and have to be ultra careful spending any time in the sun. This citrus scented spray—which is spiked with shea butter and orange extract—kept me from burning after a long, gorgeous day at the beach.” |
Kate Somerville Gentle Daily Wash |
Peperoncini Peppers |
|
“I tried this cleanser after two recommendations—a gorgeous girl in my office and Lauren Conrad. The tiniest drop whisks away makeup and impurities and leaves my skin totally blemish-free. Thank you Kate Somerville!” |
“I know it’s weird, but I’m obsessed. True or false? I have been known to polish off half a jar while watching Housewives.” |
10 Questions with January Jones
You know her as beguilingly beautiful Betty Draper on Mad Men. Here in the world of beauty? We know her as one of the most daring, spot-on trendsetters in the industry. (See: Her YSL/Stefano Pilati-inspired Met Ball look, her I Dream of Jeannie top knot at the GQ Men of the Year party, her Veronica Lake waves at the 2009 Golden Globes. Need we go on?) We sat down with this beauty-enlightened star for our ten key hair and makeup questions—and even snuck in a few Mad Men related extras. Sorry, no spoilers!
Beauty Girl: What beauty trick did you learn from your mom?
January Jones: Always direct the exfoliating brush or scrub towards your heart for good circulation
Beauty Girl: What drugstore product do you swear by?
January Jones: It may not be in many American drugstores; I find it in Europe or online: Avene Cleanance. It’s the best non-soap gel cleanser, and it’s great for both sensitive and oily skin, which is rare.
Beauty Girl: What products would we find in your teensiest red carpet clutch?
January Jones: An amazing Chanel lipstick and rice paper blotters.
Beauty Girl: What products do you never travel without?
January Jones: A rose water spray for hydration, La Mer sunscreen for face, Aveeno sunscreen for body, face wash, a hydrating mask and dry shampoo.
Beauty Girl: What’s your biggest beauty splurge?
January Jones: Probably massages. I love a good deep tissue massage—my favorite place is Kinara in LA.
Beauty Girl: Who is your beauty icon from the past?
January Jones: I go back and forth between Grace Kelly and Elizabeth Taylor circa late ’50s.
Beauty Girl: Who is your current beauty icon?
January Jones: I think Cate Blanchett is flawless.
Beauty Girl: Which of your red carpet beauty looks was your favorite?
January Jones: The last one is always my favorite—but I really loved the Veronica Lake-ish look from the 2009 Golden Globes.
Beauty Girl: If you could trade hair with anyone, who would it be?
January Jones: I have naturally straight hair, so it would have to be someone with great natural waves like an Eva Mendes or Gisele.
Beauty Girl: The one beauty trend you’ll never embrace and the one beauty trend you’d like to bring back?
January Jones: I’ll never embrace perms and I’d like to bring back black and white photos on the red carpet—everyone looks more glamorous in black and white!
Beauty Girl: Now for a few bonus questions…what’s the best beauty trick you learned from the Mad Men hair team?
January Jones: To set the hair with product and let it cool before styling.
Beauty Girl: How long does the transformation from January Jones to Betty Draper take?
January Jones: About an hour. I get my hair set, go to makeup chair and by the time that’s done, I go back to hair for styling. We have it down pretty well by now, although it can take a little longer if it’s a scene that requires an elaborate updo or fancy makeup.
Beauty Girl: How do keep your skin so perfect after wearing all that makeup at work?
January Jones: At night, I always wash with a sensitive skin cleanser but in the morning I just rinse with water to avoid stripping away all the natural oils. I’m also a big fan of skincare lines; I try all kinds of things. La Mer is a favorite.
Beauty Girl: And finally, what two words would you use to describe your red carpet beauty style?
January Jones: Risk taker. I like to experiment with my style and love trying out different looks. It’s fun to see it all come together. I’d rather take a risk and get criticized than always look the same.

“This look was influenced by surrealist black and white photography from Paris in the ’20s,” says Goodwin. Translation: Dramatic black lipstick, spiderweb lashes and ultra-thin brows. If you want to play with falsies, Goodwin has a few tips. First, be sure to trim the strip slightly smaller than your lashline. “It’s more comfortable, more flattering and a lot less obvious,” she explains. And, be sure to use black lash glue instead of white or clear. “It not only defines and lines the eyes, but it looks a lot more natural,” says Goodwin.

MAKEUP MOMENT
For this look in particular, Goodwin wanted Jones’s makeup to have an antique, artistic quality—visible brushstrokes, muted colors and clean alabaster skin. To create her squared-off brow, she painted on soft brown liquid brow enhancer with an angled brush. “The lips had a slight matte chalkiness to them—like the paint had worn off the canvas over time,” Goodwin explains.
