Mandy Moore's beauty look on the purple carpet at the 71st Primetime Emmys Awards was eye-poppingly perfect; from the rich color tones in her hair to her sultry, smokey eye and nude lip. We CAN'T. STOP. STARING.
But we can get the satisfaction of knowing how to replicate her dimensional brunette, created by Redken Celebrity Colorist Tracey Cunningham, whowas behind some of the most radiant haircolors of the evening.
“I am always inspired by beautiful, youthful hair and use the power of haircolor to accentuate this natural beauty. I’ll work with my clients to bring their specific vision to life, while keeping in mind what their hair looked like as a child, before they ever started coloring it, and weaving that into the final look. To get Amy Poehler, Mandy Moore and Julia Louis-Dreyfus ready for the Emmy Awards, I relied on Redken Shades EQ for a beautiful, shiny finish that took could take them straight from the salon to the red carpet.” – Redken Celebrity Colorist Tracey Cunningham
