We’re all glued to the set when screen sirens like Modern Family star Sofia Vergara walk the Golden Globes red carpet, but do you ever wonder what goes on before the show? We’ve got the dish! “The environment was very light and relaxed as Sofia got ready, ate throughout the day, and had fun with her friends and family,” her longtime makeup artist Kayleen McAdams, who was on hand to get the nominee and Cover Girl ready along with hair stylist Jen Atkin, told InStyle.com. Of the night’s look, McAdams says, “I wanted to do a brick red lip (she chose Queen Collection Lipcolor in Into the Red ($6.99 at covergirl.com), something a little deeper and more interesting than a classic red.  Old Hollywood glamour is a trend for awards season, so Sofia and I did our own twist on the look!“ She gave the star the lipstick to keep in her clutch so she could touch herself up throughout the night. And those famous endless eyelashes? Sofia can thank 3 coats of Clump Crusher by LashBlast Mascara ($6.99 at covergirl.com). She looked amazing!

We caught up with P!nk’s makeup artist, Kathy Jeung, and got the behind the scenes dish on the CoverGirl’s newest spokesperson’s super sexy look at the VMAs last night. A lot of prep work went into the superstar’s beauty style—Jeung showed P!nk 8-10 sketches before the show! In the end fashion dictated the decision, “Seeing her Stella McCartney red carpet dress in person, a glorious column of metallic gunmetal, confirmed my makeup idea: a soft metallic depth around the eyes and keeping the rest of her face soft, glowing and bronzed.” Jeung describes the pre-game vibe as warm and comfortable, “Alecia (P!nk’s given name) usually likes to play music from her playlists, but on VMA day we were blessed with a visit by Willow, so her giggles and laughter were our music!” Jeung adds, “Since we only had a short amount of time for a makeup change for her performance look, we both loved the idea of a red carpet look that I could quickly transform in one or two steps.” Click through the gallery to see her next look!
