Well what a day,
the night of nights was today if ya hadn't heard. The 83rd Annual Academy
Awards aka the Oscars has now finished and it is these Red Carpet awards that gives us the
trends that we will be looking towards for the next year. These awards are the crème
de la crème. There were so many beautiful looks so I have chosen a few to
discuss today and a few tools to help you recreate these looks.
Before I get
into beauty I have to mention Camila Alves, Matthew McConaughey misses’, of all
the red carpet looks her dress is just divine, she wore Kaufman
Franco dress and just everything about it just screams classic
elegance. What do you think? With a dress so stunning Camila was right on the
money by choosing classic, simple accessories and a simple up-do. Camila's other accessory Matthew McConaughey isn't too shabby either!
Ok now back to
beauty...
The first beauty
look I want to discuss is Reese Witherspoon. Amongst all the updo’s to see a
cute high ponytail with a nod to the 70’s is spot on trend. If you have been
following my blog you would know that the 70’s is such a huge trend which will
be continuing all through the year. I love that she has added volume to the top
part of her hair; I imagine there was some backcombing happening to achieve
that height. Her brows are perfectly groomed and are the perfect shade to suite
her skin tone and hair colour. Reeses skin is luminous and her natural skin
shines through. Her eye makeup is fantastic and is the true stand out item here,
following through with the 70’s look she has gone for simple thick black liquid
eyeliner which is my staple look as it never fails to impress. I think the
important consideration when working out a red carpet look is to work out one
focus feature and that’s it. Reeses focal feature is her eyes and everything
else is subtle and not over powering.
I have just
started using the Smashbox Cream Eyeliner in Caviar which is a true jet
black-$32.95. To really get a thicker line I always use a brush, mine is
Napoleon 2h. This pigment is strong and lasts all night. I have been using my
Rimmel one for so long I forgot how much I love painting on eyeliner, there is
something so retro about it.
The next celeb
hottie I want to talk about is Mandy Moore. The newly married lass is looking
gorgeous and continues on the luminous skin brigade everyone seems to be on
these days. What I love most about her look is her gorgeous orange lipstick.
Many Moore must have been reading my blog to know how hot the orange lip is
right now. To recreate this look yourself I love the Innoxa orange lipstick called sunset-$14.95 as it has a great matt
finish which lasts really well. The only part of this look I am a little disappointed
with is I feel her hair is pulled back a little too tightly and I would have
loved to see more texture in her ‘do.
Black Swan hottie Mila Kunis turned up the
heat and had heads spinning with this sultry look. Her hair do with the subtle
wave looks so vintage that I love it, it just says elegance, with her floaty,
lacey, purple dress they are paired up wonderfully. Her eyes are just wonderful
here and to achieve this look you need to line all around the entire eye, lower
and upper eyelids with a black Kohl pencil. Her eyelids look like they are
shaded in with a soft brown eyeshadow which really makes her eyes pop. The rest
of her face is kept so simple with soft pink lips and a soft pink blush on the
apples of her cheeks.
Well that is about all I have in me guys, I hope you enjoyed watching the red carpet action just as much as I did. I would love to hear from you, who did you think rocked it on the red carpet? Who did you think was a miss?
