Red Carpet Correspondent Ready: Preparing for the 12th Annual Latino Trendsetter Awards
Make-Up & Hair by EN EDRI
So as i posted before i was the Red Carpet Correspondent for the Latino Trendsetter Awards,We're all familiar with the red-carpet, but ever wondered what it takes to get ready for a big event?
Here are a few Celeb Red Carpet Prep: I think this list below just about covers nearly all of it. The process to look amazing on the Red Carpet can start as early as 2 months before - totally banana's right, but I think that many A-listers have so much going on that they go with quick fixes at least a week to 2 weeks prior to a major event. Thing is, you just can't cheat with exercise, no amount of laxative, pills or nutrients will transform your body...
- Detoxifying or Slimming wraps, anything to get rid of a few inches.
- Getting a 'Blow-Out' preferably at an A-listers Salon like most do in L.A, but me as a blogger i had the privilage to get my hair done by Hairstylist Eran Edri in a beautiful salon in the upper east side by the name of Francky L'Official.
- A Facial - up to 1 month before a big event, Hollywood dermatologists get to work on celebs using a variety of non-invasive treatments, to smooth out the under-eye area and reduce crow's feet. One week before: 'LHA (lipohydroxy acid) peel on the face, chest, and back for smoother, tighter skin. OR having a pick-and-mix of popular quick-fix treatments, such as having lines and grooves filled with Restylane, Juviderm or Radius (depending on the location on the face), wrinkles zapped with Botox, and skin tightened with a minimally invasive chemical peel'. Oh and closer to 5 days before - major de-fuzzing action!
- Celebs try to avoid stress breakouts, by staying away from white foods — dairy, sugar, white bread, pasta, and rice — all of which can aggravate acne. Other fitness experts say 'eat clean', so none of the above plus no wheat, no alcohol, or coffee 2 weeks prior to event.
- Great Tip for preventative sagging neck measures: "Curl your tongue upward and press it against the roof of your mouth. Hold for five seconds. Repeat. Do this a few times throughout the day to help tighten the neck tissues and fight sagging."
- One day before: Salon work - hair treatments, mani/pedi's.
- Work on that pose! haha thats a must you don't want to look the same in every picture play with the change of hands.
- 2/3 hours before celebs get in the car: make up, hair, dress! And there you go Red Carpet Ready.
Not that you have to follow all of these steps am just giving you a little insider of how the Celebrities do it. I did the Salon , mani & pedi a day before which i wore a pretty mango taffy color almost coral on my nails, then the same day of my Event i did hair and make-up and i work on my speech and poses 1 week ahead.
This is Natalie Edri my before look before she did my make-up
Discussing with your make-up artist about your dress, color and look is very important so when all is done you can see the theme or magic of what u were going for.
What i love about Natalie is that as she applied my make-up or any step she took she explain it to me incase i wanted to do it on my own or something went wrong i could reapply it to me that is a PLUS and so nice of her.

One of her questions was what do i want to stand out most on my male-up i said my eyes. Why? because i feel my eyes speaks for itself and i love my eyes and most photographers while doing photo shoots always complements me on my eyes.
All Done

Of course on Social Media, always with my iphone in my hand lol.
My Look was Classy Edgy and Goddess Glam.
I was a little scare i must say since i have short hair and for the longest time my mom have always did my hair since she is a hairstylist also.
Eran was so nice and very attentive i knew he was going to create magic in my hair, i couldn't understand the braid or the piece of long hair extension.
He wrapped it all around the hair and the braid it look like those greek buns, i didn't show much emotions but i was so happy inside, never thought i could get something like this in my hair i was very please and excited.
Then he finish my look with soft glamorous curls i felt like i had the Hollywood effect just that i was in my fabulous Home, New York City.
Gorgeous isn't it.
Even Eran Was happy he knew he created magic in my hair. Ha Ha
Almost Done.
