The Oscars are the most important night of the year for celebrity style: it's when every star pulls out her best look, the one she hopes will have everyone talking (in a good way) come Monday morning. This year, makeup palettes were pretty but subdued — there weren't too many huge risks on the red carpet or at the after parties — so see what Angelina Jolie, Katie Holmes, Zoe Saldana, Michelle Williams, Sofia Vergara, and over 50 other stars looked like up close.

Also the Mara sisters must have some amazing genes. Their skin is incredible.

I love how in these photos we can see that even people who are regarded as the most beautiful people in the world have not-so-nice skin like the rest of us. It actually makes me feel a lot better about how my skin looks and behaves.

I love these closeup angles because you can see that even beautiful celebrities still have wrinkles and that is natural and OK.

@lesliekatya I'm searching for you, leslie! It says "Rose Gold", so I am wondering if it's part of Bobbi Brown's Spring "Rosegold Collection"???

@Annie Tomlin Lucky you!! When someone can hold up to the close-up scrutiny of these photographs and look as good as Michelle does, it has to be flawless!
