How Carrie Underwood Gets Grammy-Ready

Sponsor — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 03:00:00 PST

Carrie Underwood, everyone's favorite Grammy-winning country singer and performer, has been using the suite of Olay deep cleansers to give her face a clean beyond what the eye (and cameras) can see.

To prep for last night's Grammy Awards, Carrie first used Olay Shine Control Lathering Cleanser to get a deep, down-to-the-pore cleansing to minimize shine. With all those flash bulbs on the red carpet, the last thing you want is a shiny forehead! Then she topped it off with Olay Complete Moisturizer, a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer for glowing, healthy-looking skin (and protection from UV light!).

To end the night, Carrie used Olay 2-in-1 Daily Facial Cloths to exfoliate and cleanse her skin of oil, dirt, and all that red-carpet makeup.

Like Carrie, you can get red-carpet-ready starting and ending with Olay!

"The Daily Facials are awesome at taking off makeup - especially eye makeup. You often get products that are super oily, or just don't do the job, or that sting your eyes. I honestly couldn't live on my tour bus without them." - Carrie Underwood.

It's Your Time to Shine (in All the Right Places)!

Nothing's worse than getting tagged in an otherwise fabulous picture and your forehead is so shiny it makes you squint. So what's a Facebook-savvy girl to do?

Step one: Detag the pic ASAP.

Step two: Immediately run to the store and pick up Olay Shine Control Lathering Cleanser. How does it help? Olay Shine Control Lathering Cleanser deep cleans to purify skin with the cleansing power of a mask, removing two times more dirt and makeup than basic cleansing, leaving you SHINE-FREE!

Step three: Tell your friends to upload away.

Step four: Enjoy the picture tagging (fearlessly).

Carrie Underwood's Fresh-Face Secret? Yes Please.

Don't think a cleanser can go beyond the basics? Carrie Underwood begs to differ. Olay 2-in-1 Daily Facial Cloths thoroughly cleanse skin deep down to the pore, removing dirt, oil, and makeup - even your super-duty-waterproof mascara. Don't believe it?

Take it from Carrie:
"It's hard to find eye makeup remover that doesn't burn your eyes. The Daily Facials don't burn anything and take off all of the layers of makeup I've managed to put on my face for concerts."

So take off your makeup each night by combining soap-free cleansers and conditioners infused with beta hydroxyl that go beyond basic cleansing to gently exfoliate and condition skin with essential Olay moisture (score!).

Get Red-Carpet Ready With Makeup Tips From Olay Celebrity Makeup Artist Bruce Grayson

Whether you're walking the red carpet or watching the awards show from the comfort of home, we all want to look like a star. Fortunately, Oscars Makeup Department Head Bruce Grayson is here to help! Check out Bruce's tips to achieve your own on-trend, award-worthy look.

What trends should we expect to see this awards season?

Red, tangerine, and nude beige are the hot lipstick shades that will be all over the red carpet this year. To get your own perfect pout, apply the first coat straight from the lipstick tube, then dab a second coat just on the center of the bottom lip. For the eyes, you can expect to see gold in sheer metallics and shimmery textures. One trick I like to do is apply a dash of gold in the inner eyelid to lighten the area next to the bridge of the nose.

What are three essential items for all makeup bags?

To keep you bright-eyed throughout the night, I recommend the new Olay Total Effects Line & Dark Circle Minimizing Brush. This clickable brush pen is an on-the-go beauty essential that reduces the appearance of darkness under the eyes - with just a sweep of the brush! Not only does it provide a great base for makeup, the formula fights seven signs of aging - like uneven tone and loss of elasticity - for long-term skin benefits.

A red lipstick or gloss. Even if you are in a hurry, taking a few seconds to apply a bold lip color helps give your overall look an extra pop. And you can't go wrong with red - there's a shade out there for every skin tone.

A sweep of blush over your cheeks is the best way to wake up dull, tired skin especially during cold winter months. A cream blush is a beauty must have as it gives a sheer, natural healthy glow, while contouring your face.

What is the best way to prepare your skin for a big event?

Stick to your usual skincare routine - cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturizing - before your big event. You don't want to try anything new or drastic that your skin may react poorly to.
