The ‘Modern Family’ star knows how to work a red carpet like no other! As usual, she was a show-stopping beauty at the 2012 Emmys. Try out her hot hair and makeup styles yourself with the EXACT products she used and some easy how-tos from her stylists!

Sofia Vergara, 40, knows how to rock her bombshell beauty look to its max impact factor!  Jen Atkin, Sofia’s Clear Scalp & Hair Therapy Celebrity Hairtylist was inspired by the texture of Sofia’s sexy Zuhair Murad dress.

Of the look, Jen says “I wanted the hair to flow with the dress so we chose a bombshell wavy look. Sofia is a sexy woman who can work a full volume look so we did a twist on a 60s style and made it modern by keeping it long with loose sexy waves and volume at the crown.”

Love this retro wavy style? Here are Jen’s styling tips:

Always start with the right foundation. Begin by washing with Clear Scalp & Hair Beauty Therapy Volumizing Root Boost Shampoo and Conditioner to nourish the scalp and hair while also getting the volume and body from root to tip necessary to carry this style.

Use a volumizing mousse at the crown of the hair. Use a round brush to create volume and set the hair with velvet rollers. Next, spray a texturizing spray throughout the rest of the hair and blow dry using a medium round brush for volume. Once hair is dry, spritz an anti-humidity spray all over and brush through. Use an 1 1/4″ curling iron to set the hair. Wrap big sections of hair and curl up and away from the face. Finally, comb the waves through with your fingers. Tease a little at the crown and finish off the look with a light spray of hairspray. If needed add a spray gloss to the ends.

What CoverGirl would be complete without fabulous makeup? Sofia’s makeup look was created by makeup artist Kayleen McAdams, who was inspired by chocolate and caramel! Of the look, Kayleen said, “Chocolatey brown eyes, caramel colored lips. With a dress like hers, I wanted her makeup to look delicious and sexy.”  Here, Kayleen explains her process and the products she used:

I started by applying NatureLuxe Silk Foundation in Nutmeg #360 all over the face and blended into the neck.  I then used TruConceal #4 under the eyes, around the nose and on any spots where needed.  I finished with a light dusting of Clean Pressed Powder in Soft Honey and Cheekers Blush in Sierra Sands to set the base.

On the eyes, I started by applying Eye Enhancers 1-Kit Shadow in Brown Smolder all over the lid and followed that with the Perfect Point Plus Eyeliner in Espresso just at the root of the lashes.  I also used Perfect Point Plus Eyeliner in Espresso on the bottom lashes and set that liner with Queen Collection 1-Kit Shadow in Copper Penny.  I applied three coats of LashBlast Volume Mascara on both the top and bottom lashes to lengthen and add volume.

Sofia and I wanted to do something different on her lips, so we chose a shade that she never used before – and we loved the change. I tried tons of different lipsticks on my arm! We looked them all over and tried three different shades before finding the perfect one. I wanted the lip to look like caramel, so I added a little gloss. I filled in Sofia’s lips with LipPerfection Lip Color in Captivate, and then went back over the edge of the lips with LipPerfection Lip Liner in Smoky to fill them out and keep her lipstick in place. I topped it all off with Queen Collection Lip Gloss in Sugar and Spice just in the center of the lips. To keep Sofia’s look fresh all night, I gave her powder, lipstick, lip liner and gloss to keep in her purse. Sofia can’t live without LashBlast Volume Mascara, so I also keep my kit well stocked with extras.
