Get Anna Kendrick's Oscars Hairstyle

"Anna wanted to look young and modern," stylist Craig Gangi said of the updo he created for the Oscar-nominated actress.

"Anna wanted to look young and modern," stylist Craig Gangi said of the updo he created for the Oscar-nominated actress. This undone chignon is as easy to create as it is elegant. Here's how he did it.

First, he prepared Anna's damp hair with Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream. After blow-drying, he used a medium-barrel iron to curl hair loosely. Next, he pulled hair back into a deconstructed bun and secured it with pins. Don't worry about getting it perfect. "I wanted her hair to move, like she did it herself," Gangi explained.

Great hair is all about the details, and in this case, Gangi created a small braid for texture. "I took three very small sections before twisting the rest of the hair into a bun," he said. "I twisted each into a braid, then twisted those into one larger braid that went above the bun." As a finishing touch, he misted hair with Moroccanoil Glimmer Shine Spray. The end result was an updo with a twist — a simple, pretty style that wowed the red carpet.

Get Rachel McAdams's Oscars Makeup Look

For Rachel McAdams, Oscar beauty runs in the family.

For Rachel McAdams, Oscar beauty runs in the family. Her sister, Kayleen McAdams, is her makeup artist. Kayleen used Rachel's watercolor-toned Elie Saab dress as inspiration for her beauty look.

"There was a wash of cool tones in the dress, blue, green, purple, [and] pink so we wanted the eye, cheek, and lips to all have this same watercolor sheerness to it," said Kayleen. First, she applied Chanel's Fluid Iridescent Eye Shadow in Fountain (a pink tone) to Rachel's lids. Then, she used the rosy-gold shade of the brand's Quadra Eye Shadow in Spices all the way up to the brow bone and all along the lid, and Soft Touch Eye Shadow in Slate was applied to the inner corners of the eyes. Coco Lip Color in Rose Comete, a light pink tone, and Glossimer in Futile pulled it all together.

Get Gabourey Sidibe's Oscars Makeup Look

Makeup artist Toby Fleischman was charged with creating Gabourey's red carpet makeup for the Oscars.

Makeup artist Toby Fleischman was charged with creating Gabourey's red carpet makeup for the Oscars. "We wanted a soft metallic eye to pick up the jeweled accents on the dress," she explained. To create the look, she began by lightly lining Gabourey's eyes with black waterproof eyeliner, then smudged it into her lash line. Next, Fleischman applied CoverGirl Smoky Shadow Blast stick in Bronze on Gabourey's eyelids and swept CoverGirl Eye Enhancer Shadow in Tapestry Taupe added a metallic glow. On cheeks: Nars blush in Lovejoy. To finish the look, she first applied a coat of Estee Lauder Tiger Eye Lipstick, and then topped it off with Clinique Long Last Glosswear in Goldspun. The best part of the process, according to Fleischman: "Seeing Gabby's megawatt smile when she saw herself in the mirror."
