Freida Pinto is The New Look For Estee Lauder

Freida Pinto is everywhere you look! She was in the front-row at Dolce & Gabbana and is being wholeheartedly embraced by the fashion world, the movie industry, and now they say even the ever so picky Woody Allen. But the Beauty community is wanting their piece of her as well; the Slumdog Millionaire star is rumored to be in talks with Estée Lauder to become a spokesperson for the brand. Details have yet to be confirmed, but her contract would no doubt be pretty large.

Here's the question, do you think Frieda is a well-suited choice for Estée Lauder or would you like to see her endorsing another make-up brand? Leave me your answer in the comments. Personally, I think of Estee Lauder as an older person's makeup... I would love to see her with Givenchy, Yves Saint Laurent, Chanel, MAC, even NARS or Bobbie Brown maybe?? Ooooh think of her as the new face of Louis Vuitton - now that would be amazing.

Freida Pinto's Oscar Hair Updo - Do It Yourself

Celebrity stylist, Jeffrey Paul, created a fresh and elegant red carpet hair look for Frieda Pinto. Radiant in John Galliano, Pinto’s hair is divided into three parts and twisted back into an architectural, couture flower shape on the right side of the head. “This look has a beautiful architecture; hair is twisted back into a youthful, feminine flower shape that complements Frieda’s face shape and stunning Galliano gown.” Here’s how to get Pinto’s look:

Start with Aveda Pure Abundance Volumizing Shampoo and Aveda Pure Abundance Volumizing Clay Conditioner.

Mix a cocktail of Aveda Phomollient Styling Foam and Aveda Light Elements Defining Whip. Work the product into wet hair to add texture and volume. “When creating an updo, it’s important to use products that give thickness and body,” said Paul. “Pinto’s hair already has a lot of shine. The cocktail of Aveda Phomollient Styling Foam and Aveda Light Elements Defining Whip provided just the right amount of hold, body and texture without weighing hair down.”

--Blow dry hair back to add lift and height at the roots.

--Create a left side part and divide hair into three sections: three quarters of hair in one section on the right and the remaining hair into two smaller sections.

--Pull the right section of hair back into a low ponytail just behind the right ear above the nape of the neck.

--Twist the ponytail, working Aveda Light Elements Defining Whip into hair. Wrap the ponytail around the base, creating a flower shape. Secure in place with pins.

--Work Aveda Light Elements Defining Whip into each of the remaining sections and twist back and around the flower shape, creating a layered, rose-like effect. “The three twists flow together for beautiful movement,” said Paul.

--Finish the look with Aveda Air Control Hair Spray.

--Lastly, shake the head a bit to loosen up the look and provide a sense of natural movement.

--VOILA!

Make-up Artist Jeffrey Paul on Freida Pinto

Makeup artist Jeffrey Paul (who works with Dior) works with her (and does her hair)... Here are his thoughts on his dream client:

"Freida Pinto is the changing face of beauty. She has what every girl dreams of: big eyes, beautiful eyebrows, high cheekbones and a smile that lights up the room. In India, black eyeliner called kohl is almost an everyday staple. I think some of the trends we're going to start to see more of, inspired by this Bollywood beauty and actresses like Freida, are black eyeliner, colorful eyes, large eyelashes, liner on the inside of the eyes, shimmery natural lips, warmed complexions, long, silky hair and high ponytails."
