Oscars Beauty: Nude Lips
All right — one last Oscars post and then we're back to our normal day! Just wanted to point out that as we've been seeing at other awards shows, the nude lip reigned supreme on the red carpet Sunday night. Check out a few of my favorite from throughout the night.
How-To: Miley Cyrus's Oscar Makeup
Miley Cyrus appeared at the Oscars looking very simple and sophisticated — a welcome change from how we've seen her lately. Her fresh and shimmery makeup was the perfect balance to her striking red gown.
Dior makeup artist Pati Dubroff was inspired by "Miley's radiant youth" and wanted to create a look that was "all about glowing, gorgeous skin with flushed cheeks and a popsicle-stained mouth."
How-To: Nicole Kidman's Oscars Makeup
Nicole Kidman turns up on the red carpet with a flawless hair and makeup combo each and every time. Last night, she showed up at the Oscars in soft, feminine makeup and a pretty sideswept bun.
Her makeup artist for the evening, Angela Levin, created Nicole's look with Chanel products.
Red Carpet Oscar Faceoff Fun Time!
You know we love to create new faceoff games for anything and everything so it's only fitting that the fabulous Oscar red carpet celebrities got their own game. It's even new and improved so you can see how your vote matches up against everyone else out there voting away. Now that you have had a chance to see lots of pretty galleries, it's time to play away but be warned, it's so addicting we're thinking of starting a self help group for the game as well.
How-To: Jennifer Garner's Oscars Hair
Jennifer Garner strutted the red carpet last night in a sophisticated and loose sideswept hairstyle, balanced out by a sexy, smoky eye and luxe jewelry. Her hair stylist for the evening, Adir Abergel for Frederic Fekkai, gave me the scoop on how he achieved this look for the big night.
"The inspiration came to me when I first saw the dress on her, during her fitting with Rachel Zoe," he explained.
Oscars Trend Alert: Shimmer
A little shimmer goes a long way under the bright flashbulbs on the red carpet. Whether used to soften or highlight a feature, the end effect is a dazzling overall glow. Last night a few celebs used this makeup trick to their advantage.
How-To: Jessica Alba's Oscars Makeup
Jessica Alba positively glowed in a deep aubergine dress and beautiful braids on the Oscars red carpet last night. I hope the show wasn't too long for her to sit through; that belly bump sure looks like it's growing by the second!
Jessica followed her own lead from last year and chose a radiant and stunning subdued makeup look.
How-To: Marion Cotillard's Oscars Hair
The belle Marion Cotillard is sitting pretty right now. Her Oscar win means that we'll be seeing a lot more of this Gallic gal, and considering that she's as stylish as she is talented, that's a good thing for all of us. Last night, she looked softly stunning; I especially loved how her soft, flowing curls framed her face.
How-To: Penelope Cruz's Oscars Makeup
At last night's Oscars ceremony, Penelope Cruz looked positively stunning with her lightly smoky eye and clean, fresh face. I got the scoop from Rachel Goodwin, her makeup artist for the evening, on how she created Penelope's glowing red carpet look.
Rachel was inspired by Penelope's simple yet chic dress, but wanted to add a flair to her look with the makeup.
Oscars Hair: A Little From the Back
Most celebrities pose for photos head-on — which makes perfect sense when you want to see their smiles. The drawback? You can't always see the intricate details of their hairstyles.
