For actress Jennifer Lawrence, 2010 is going to be huge. For starters, it marks the release of her first big movie, Winter's Bone, in which she stars as a serious, strong-willed girl from the Ozark Mountains. Perhaps more excitingly, come August, Lawrence bids goodbye to her teen years to celebrate her 20th birthday. To prep for what is sure to be a celebration studded year, hairstylist Mark Townsend and makeup artist Rachel Goodwin took this young starlet to beauty bootcamp, experimenting with a wide range of edgy, glamorous and downright gorgeous looks. So take it all in. What follows are five jaw-dropping images of a face you're sure to see more of.
“My people tell me what I can get away with, so someone would probably stop me before I walked out of the house with orange lips, but I'd totally go for it,” Lawrence says of this bold look. “I was going for a shocking contrast and playing with textures and tones,” Goodwin said. “I used a full coverage matte lipstick and a sheer pastel eye shadow. This is an example of why it's okay to occasionally break beauty rules, like pairing a strong eye and lip—the results can be gorgeous!”
“I love when my hair is wavy and soft. I'd definitely wear this on the red carpet,” said the actress. To create the style, Townsend worked a dollop of Dove Curl & Sculpt Defining Hair Mousse into Lawrence's damp hair and blew it dry with a Spornette mixed bristle brush before setting the hair in medium-sized rollers. “Caruso Molecular Steam Rollers are perfect for creating gentle waves—not tight spirals,” said Townsend. “I let them cool in the hair for about 20 minutes, then took them out and brushing through the curls with a paddle brush.”
Before giving Lawrence a full head of riotous curls for this faux-bob look, Townsend misted Vavoom by Matrix Gold Heat Iron-In Control Protective Dry Mist on two-inch sections before wrapping them around a small curling iron. "It shields the hair from damaging heat, plus adds a bit of hold and tons of shine," he said. The off-the-shoulder style he created was Lawrence's first foray into short hair. "I've always had really long hair. I can't really have short hair because I think I have a small head. But I've love to have to cut it for a role," she said. (Directors: Take note!)
“My hair is naturally very big and thick, so this is basically what I look like when I get up in the morning,” Lawrence joked. “I did like it, though. I felt wild and sexy.” Townsend's secret weapon for voluminous, untamed strands? “Bumble and Bumble Blondish Hair Powder. I spritzed it on the roots and brushed it through for that really full look,” he said. Goodwin finished Lawrence's look with a swipe of cool lavender gloss. “I wanted to show how bold colors can be totally wearable when used with restraint,” she said.
Townsend smoothed Lawrence's hair with a dab of Kiehls Creme with Silk Groom before securing it into a sleek bun at the nape of her neck. “It tames flyaways and gives the hair a soft hold with plenty of shine,” he said. The end result really worked for Lawrence. “My mom's going to love this one! She's always telling me to get my hair out of my face,” she said. “There's just something beautiful about a pulled back look like this. You really get to see a woman's face.” And her nail polish: Goodwin tricked out Lawrence's fingertips with Chanel Le Vernis Nail Colour in Particuliere. “I'm obsessed with greige. It's chic and urban with an undeniable feminine vibe,” said the makeup artist.
