I just wanted to share a few of my favorite Oscar looks for makeup & hair. While the majority of Hollywood's A-list beauties looked stunning, I chose some that stood out to me and also because I'm partially biased (I heart Rachel McAdams and Sandra Bullock and would die of joy if I could do their makeup one day). And Carey Mulligan is just adorable in a Mia Farrow kind of way. I also LOVE her earrings.
What I loved about all 3 ladies was, their makeup and hair just made sense. Everything flowed beautifully. Sandra, in a stunning gold Marchesa dress with a bright raspberry lip, a defined eye and sleek hair was perfection. Rachel, with her gorgeous floral Elie Saab Haute Couture, a soft up-do and soft, yet defined makeup, looked heavenly. And Carey Mulligan, in a black Prada, with her pixie cut and chandelier earrings had very understated makeup that suited her exquisitely. These ladies exemplified what I felt was Oscar glamour at its finest.
A few honorably mentions are Cameron Diaz, Demi Moore, Jennifer Lopez, Vera Farmiga, Anna Kendrick, Penelope Cruz, and Miley Cyrus.
My least favorite look was Nicole Richie. I felt the makeup was more appropriate for the Grammy's. She's a gorgeous girl and does fashion better than most people but she looks best to me when she's got less makeup on and has that glow that suits her so beautifully. While the makeup itself was a perfect application, I felt the makeup and the girl didn't suit each other in the best way. I still love her though!
I hope you enjoy my favorite looks! Can't wait to see what next year will bring
