Oscars makeup faves!!!

Coming off of Fashion Week 2009 where I just shot a video of how to get 3 distinct looks for Fall '09; Red Lips, Smoky Eyes, and Blue Shadow. WOW! This will be the best tutorial and I can't wait to have the final cut! Fall '09 is all about greys, browns and golds and blues making a statement in everything from Barbie inspired faces to classic red lips and everything in between.

Oscar makeup! My favorites were Natalie Portman, and Angelina Jolie by far. I loved the lavendar smokey eyes Natalie which was done by celebrity makeup artist Jeanine Lobell. I could tell immediately it was her work- clean and dramatic with a fresh flare. LOVE lavendar on brown eyes with black rimmed on the inside to enhance the gold undertones.

Angelina was sporting her traditional black liner- Le Crayon Khol Noir by Lancome. Her makuep was done by Mary Burton who really has a knack for making Angelina's eyes look amazing. Notice there is no space between the lash line and the lid and the line is beautifully smudged on the outer corner and wrapped underneath the eye slightly without looking like a 'half lined' eye. NOTICE- no lipliner! It is so fresh to have the lips soft and natural and let the eyes take center stage- gorgeous.

Here is the product used on some of the faves compliments of Lancome:

Kate Winslet looked beautiful in a multi-toned one shoulder YSL dress. Celebrity makeup artist Jillian Dempsey wanted to create a classic, natural look. First, she prepped Kate’s skin with Lancôme La Base Pro primer to create a smooth canvas for a polished complexion. She lightly brushed Lancôme Brow Expert in Naturel on the brows to play up their natural shape. Jillian Dempsey for Avon Pro Eyeshadow Trio in Ice Shimmer was applied to the eyes and the lashes were coated with Jillian Dempsey for Avon Pro Mascara in Black. To create a sheer, neutral colored lip, Lancôme Color Fever Lipstick in Old Flame was applied for a soft, matte finish.

Anne Hathaway looked regal in a sparkling jewel encrusted Armani Privé gown. Her makeup look was sophisticated and elegant. Anne’s perfect brows framed her face and her long, lush lashes really made her eyes pop. She donned a deep berry-toned lip to complete her look. To get Anne’s look, try Lancôme Le Crayon Poudre in Sable to fill in and shape the brows. Lightly dust Lancôme Color Design Eye Shadow in Ciel du Soir over the entire eyelid followed by Le Crayon Khôl in Black Ebony applied to the upper lash line. Lightly smudge so there are no harsh lines. Apply several coats of Lancôme Ôscillation Mascara for a faux-lash effect. For just a hint of color, dust Lancôme Blush Subtil in Sheer Amourose on the apples of the cheeks. To create her berry stained pout, apply Lancôme Color Fever Lipstick in Brickhouse.

Angelina Jolie looked stunning in a black strapless Elie Saab gown paired with beautiful emerald-colored jewels which added a striking burst of color. Celebrity makeup artist Mary Burton created Angelina’s flawless look. Mary applied Le Crayon Khôl in Black Ebony to the upper and lower lash lines. She emphasized the shape of Angelina’s eyes by applying more liner to the outer corners of the eye. Several coats of Ôscillation Mascara were applied to the upper lashes for added volume and length. Mary put a touch of pink to the cheeks using Shu Uemura Blush in M Pink 31 and applied it to her cheekbones near the temple. To create ultra-shiny and luminous lips, Mary used Juicy Tubes in Spring Fling.

You'll never look as good as you do today
