OUR PICK OF THE OSCARS’ BEAUTY LOOKS
Once I'd succeeded in dragging my covetous eyes away from Margot Robbie's tasseled neck confection (NEVER not wanting tassels), I realised I was similarly impressed with her knock-em-dead beauty look. Those brows, those lips, that side-swept bob *SWOON*! If you too are blessed with blunt, shoulder-skimming locks then enhance their lustre with Sachajuan's Shine Serum - raking through with fingers to achieve great gloss and separation. And for that gorgeous, cochineal lip look use OCC's Cosmetic Colour Pencil in 'Grandma' to create the perfect shape (you can do some clever {contouring} if lips are on the small side), before 'filling in' with Julie Hewett's {Lipstick Noir} in 'Belle' - a stunning, 50s coral/rouge.
Whether Margot and Rosamund deliberately coordinated pout-and-gown is not determined, but RP's pared back make up was the perfect foil for that form-fitting frock (her best red carpet look this year). Her porcelain skin and pale pink blush enhanced her 'English Rose' fragility - all that was required was a hint of peachy shadow to help make those blue eyes 'pop'. Try Sunday Riley's {Prismasilk Eye Colour} in 'Camille' - a shimmering, sandy/pink that makes you 'look alive' in moments.
We've got a major girl crush on Ms. Stone. The babe has not put one directionally-clad foot wrong all season, and we're besotted with that wavy, copper crop. Julie Hewett's Cat Eye Pen is perfect for creating a precision, feline flick - while NudeStix Lip and Cheek Pencil in 'Ripe' is the ultimate, fuzzy-peach shade - creamy, convenient and clutch-bag friendly.
Always flawless with a hint of rock 'n' roll, Naomi Watts looked breath-taking. We HEART the asymmetric tousled mane and subtle, berry lip (totally 'on trend'). Use T3 Haircare's Single Pass Straightening Iron to create the chunky, segmented effect - spritzing with Living Proof's Instant Texture Mist to hold and amplify the 'tszuj'. Then apply a quick slick of Jouer's Lip Sheer in shade 'Positano' - a sexy, blackcurrant stain - and you're good to go.
Can we pause for a moment to appreciate Luptia's luminescence? Her skin looked lit-from-within - perfectly pearlescent (like her pearl-encrusted gown). Prtty Peaushun is available in a spectrum of shades and stars shimmering, champagne highlights for a subtle, top-to-toe glow.
Julianne Moore was her usual, immaculate self. A picture of poise and perfection, her sleek, low-slung bun and minimal make up were stunningly strawberries-and-cream. Her eyebrows were enhanced to frame her features - fellow Titian's should choose Anastasia Beverly Hills' {Brow Wiz} in 'Auburn' or 'Caramel' - then lend lips and cheeks a subtle flush with Julie Hewett's Cheekie in shade 'Destiny' - a delicate, dusky rose shade.
