In the wake of the 2015 Grammys, we're still reeling from the crazy gowns and show-stopping beauty trends that graced the red carpet. Now that the awards show is over, however, we're left wondering how we can rock those looks for our own special events (hint, hint: Valentine's Day).

Luckily, our friends at Olay and E! Style Collective member and beauty vlogger Allie Marie Evans have a solution to this conundrum. They've teamed up to bring you tips and tricks for all your red carpet-worthy looks. It all starts with prepping your skin.

Building a solid foundation is essential to creating an amazing look. In the video above, Allie revealed she does this by hydrating her skin. Any beauty pro will tell you to drink a lot of water. And five days before a big day, use a moisturizing product like Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream. Not only does it help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles (always a plus!), but it can help to create a smoother surface for easier makeup application.

While it can be difficult for any plugged-in trendsetter, Allie also refrains from working late nights before a big event. No puffy eyes or under-eye circles wanted here! But if such is the case, Allie provided an amazing tip using just a few tea bags and water.
