Red Carpet Tips
Sonya Dakar’s Red Carpet Facial:
"When Gwyneth came to the Sonya Dakar Skin Clinic last week she got the Apple Stem Cell Facial. This includes a series of treatments for the face, neck and chest that leaves skin looking youthful, tight and glowing.
Start by cleansing with an oil-based cleanser. Sonya's Buriti Purifying Cleanser gently removes dirt and impurities with a natural blend of exotic buriti, grapeseed, avocado oils, antioxidants and Vitamins C, D, E.
To get an even and smooth skin tone it's really important to exfoliate the face, decollete, and arms. Sonya uses her Detox Scrub—a super gentle, all-natural exfoliator that unclogs pores, promotes cell turnover and can be used all over the face and body to reveal smoother, healthier skin.
Next Sonya applied her Flash Facial—a 1-minute exfoliating gel that quickly sloughs away dead skin and other impurities and infuses nourishing ingredients that leave skin soft, plump and instantly brighter. This is an amazing secret weapon that anyone can use in an instant to give skin a luminous glow from head to toe.
Then Sonya applied her Nano Peel, which stays on for several minutes. Sonya's Nano Peel is a professional-grade exfoliating treatment that can also be used at home. It uses lactic and phytic acids to soften the appearance of fine lines, giving skin that tight, youthful brightness that you need for the red carpet.
Sonya then applied her Stem Cell Transformer, a luxe anti-aging cream that targets fine lines and wrinkles, brightens a dull complexion and dramatically boosts hydration. She also used Eyeposuction, a daily eye treatment that reduces fine lines and wrinkles.

Every Sonya Dakar facial ends with a healthy dose of Organic Omega Booster a nourishing and hydrating serum rich in Omega 3, 6 + 9 and her Daily Face Shield, a lightweight broad spectrum sunscreen."
A few of Sonya's favorite red carpet tips:
"Store eye cream in the fridge—the active ingredients will help reduce puffiness and dark circles, and the cool temperature of the cream itself will reduce swelling in an instant!
Stress is a huge factor when you have a big event, which may cause breakouts. Always keep Sonya's Blemish Buster on an acne spot, a treatment that works overnight to banish breakouts and will not dry out skin.
Massage face with a cube of ice to create blood flow and bring oxygen to the surface of the skin.
Mix together chamomile tea and green tea, chill in the fridge and put in a mister—spray on the face before and after makeup goes on to shrink pores."

"I have had the great pleasure of working with Gwyneth for the past nine years. She has been not only a client but the most approachable, kind, supportive and fun loving person I know. Whenever I do a red carpet look, I take into consideration what the client is wearing and how they envision themselves. It is really a collaboration of the two of us in order to come up with the right look.
With Gwyneth at this year's Emmy’s, the dress she chose was so spectacular and really showed off her fabulous figure so we opted for a shiny “Edgy Straight” look that grabbed everyone’s attention. To achieve the look, I always start with a small amount of Couture Colour Pequi Oil massaged into the hair, which you can buy at couturecolour.com. It is the one and only product I use on all my clients because it not only provides a mirror like shine but absorbs instantly into the hair without weighing it down, while protecting your style against humidity and dryness.
Next, I blow dried her hair with a round brush to create a sort of 2nd day blow dry look. After hair was dried, I ran additional Pequi Oil through her tresses to lift and define. After all, hair is an accessory and Gwyneth is just perfection."Makeup tips From Kate Lee:
"I'm really enjoying Chanel Perfection Lumiere Foundation. I apply it with a nylon brush then blend with a beauty blender sponge, which gives a beautifully healthful glow.
For the eyes I started with Chanel’s Illusion D’ombre In Emervielle with Fantasme, a bronzy gold creme shadow, which I applied to the whole lid and blended out at the socket. I let some color bleed out to the inner corners of the eye and then added a highlight of shimmer to the centre of the lid. Next I added a soft black gel liner (a combination of Noir Kohl Liner and Black Shiseido Brush Liquid Liner) at the base of the lashes. We curled the lashes, applied a coat of Mascara and then added in a few extra strip and individual lashes.
I'm experimenting with By Terry Rose de Rose Liquid Blush at the moment and I'm loving the results. It is more of a sheen of color. For Gwyneth, I used an apricot shade on her cheek bones to give dimension.
I'm also loving the new Kevyn Aucoin Creme Blush, which I used to pop Gwyneth's cheeks. Using a vibrant color on the cheek is a great way to bring attention to the eye.
I groomed the brows with a combination of powder and tinted brow gel, which gave them definition—specifically, a Chanel Blond pencil and Anastasia Brow Gel. Then, I highlighted the brow bone with a light matte concealer.
Right at the end, we decided to add black liner inside the eye to give the look a little more intensity.
I used a lip liner that is the same shade as Gwyneth’s lips to define them, and then she added a dab of her own Khiels lip balm so the color was actually her natural lip color."
