With Emma Stone’s rocker-chic style, smoked out gaze, and laid-back locks, it’s no wonder she stole the scene at tonight’s MTV Video Music Awards. To help this stunning starlet get red carpet-ready, Emma turned to mane man, Mark Townsend, and makeup artist, Rachel Goodwin. Here’s the skinny on how to get her look—straight from the pros who created it:
“I wanted Emma to look young, cool, and modern—and this awards show was the perfect time to play up a rock and roll edge,” says Townsend. To give her strands a textured, sexy feel, Townsend sprayed all over her damp hair, then used a blow dryer—paired with a —to give it lots of volume and movement. To finish the look, he added separation and texture to her hair “by taking one drop of in my hands, warming it in my palms, and raking it through her strands.”
Goodwin then took the reins and created a strong, smoky eye using her current obsession for fall: Khaki green eyeshadow. “I used a liquid metallic version called Ombre D’Eau Fluid Iridescent Eyeshadow in Torrent to cover her eye lid from the lashline to the crease—the golden green hue added an element of fun and sophistication to an ordinary smoky eye.” Then, Goodwin lined her eyes [inner and outer corners] with , and topped them off by curling and coating her lashes with two coats of black mascara. The finishing touch? She swiped Stone’s lips with a pink matte lip color to complement her deeply colored gaze.

THE ROMANTIC PONY
Gathered at the nape of the neck and teased into a sweet, cotton-candyish cloud, this shapely ponytail accentuates the face—making it a go-to first date style. Townsend gathered the hair at the nape of the neck and curled three-inch sections with a curling iron. He brushed through the spirals with a flat brush. “That way you spread the curls out rather than preserving their shape,” he says. A dab of John Masters Organics Shine On Leave In Hair Treatment warmed between his hands smoothed any strays in front.
