Whether she’s lighting up the small screen as the sassy Colombian bombshell Gloria Delgado- Pritchett, or taking over the red carpet with her curve-hugging, megaglamorous gowns, Modern Family star Sofia Vergara is a beauty that has captured the attention of women—and men—young and old. With a flair for the flamboyant, Vergara successfully balances the appeal of long locks and dramatic makeup without appearing overly harsh, a feat many women struggle to attain.
At the 66th primetime Emmy Awards, Vergara once again owned the red carpet, flaunting her perfectly tousled honey brown hair and attention-grabbing ruby lips. Just as achievable as it is beautiful, Vergara’s red carpet look requires nothing more than a few simple products. So, if you’re so inclined, you too can take your look from cute to va va vixen!

She may be a little biased as Head & Shoulders’ current spokeswoman, but that doesn’t mean the affordable shampoo won’t leave your hair looking red carpet ready.
1. Create a straight center part in towel-dried hair.
2. Next, blow-dry the top front section of hair away from your face. Use a boar-bristle round brush and roll the section under itself. Pin into place until cool.
3. Continue blow-drying hair in two square sections. As with the front section, pin the other two sections in place until they’re cool enough to unpin and brush.
4. Use a 1.5-inch curling iron (I love Conair’s Ceramic Tools Dua l Volta ge Curling Iron), and add a slight bend to the shorter front layers. Continue to curl the ends of hair, and for any excess hold, brush out the tighter curls with a flat-face brush.
5. Finish with Living Proof’s INSTANT Texture Mist. Thanks to its 48-hour hold, you’ll be able to rock your Vergara-inspired locks all weekend long!

1. Get Vergara’s peachy glow with CoverGirl’s truBLEND Liquid Foundati on in Classic Tan. Remember, matching the foundation to your skin tone is crucial. If you don’t have Vergara’s Colombian complexion, add some color by using CG’s Clean Glow Bronzer in Spices around the forehead, bridge of nose and cheekbones. Finish the look with CG’s Clean Glow Blush in Peaches.
2. Get Vergara’s sultry eyes with little more than mascara and eyeshadow. Start with CoverGirl’s Queen Collection Shadow Pot in DazzlE. Using a heavy hand, add CG’s Clump Cluster Lashblast mascara.
3. Using her brand of choice, covergirl Outlast All Day Lipcolor in Ever-Reddy has defined her look, leaving Vergara with shiny smooth lips on and off the red carpet.
