How can you get this years Academy Awards looks

There were two definite looks that walked down the red carpet tonight at the Oscars. The soft dramatic eye, and the red lips. Here are two examples of how you can acheive these looks.

Demi Moore was absolutely radiant tonight at the Academy Awards. From the top of her flowy soft updo, her classic beautiful glow, down to the bottom of her dusty rose Versace gown, she shows us how to radiate beauty. Celebrity makeup artist Jo Strettell did the beauty honors for the always-stunning Demi.

In order to get this look, we got Jo to tell us the secrets. Jo mixed two foundations for Demi, Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation and Lasting Silk UV SPF 34 Compact Foundation. She then swept Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat (Radiant Touch Highlighter) under the eyes and around the nose. Lancome Blush Subtil Delicate Oil-Free Powder Blush
in Rose Fresque, just on the apples of the cheeks, brightened her complexion. Jo created the soft, smoky eye with lancome color design
in Honeymoon as a highlight from right above the lid to the brow bone and on the inner corner of the eyes. Lancome Le Crayon Khol Eye Liner Pencil Black Coffee - Regular Size Unboxed in Gris Noir lined the eyes and Jo softened the look by smudging the line. The lashes were curled with a shu uemura Eyelash Curler 1 ea, followed by several coats of Lancome Hypnose Mascara in Excessive Black on the top lashes and LancĂ´me Oscillation Water Resistant Mascara in Black to the lower lashes. For Demi’s lips, the combination of Lancome Color Fever Lip Color - No. 306 Rose Defile ( Cream ) - 4.2ml/0.14oz in Rich Cashmere and Lancome Juicy Tubes Lip Gloss Ultra Shiny in Spring Fling created a pretty, nude lip that had just enough pop.




Sandra Bullock won the Best Actress Award for her role in The Blind Side (Blu-ray/DVD Combo + Digital Copy)">the Blind Side and looked stunning while accepting it.

“Tonight was Sandra’s big night and she was in a happy, ethereal mood. I wanted her to look like the true movie star she is, so we went with modern classy Hollywood – dewy skin, soft eyes, and a bold classic red lip.” — Angela Levin

Angela prepped Sandra’s skin with CHANEL by Chanel: Sublimage Essential Regenerating Cream--/1.7OZ. She then used a foundation brush to apply CHANEL Vitalumieres Satin Smoothing Fluid Makeup Satin Smoothing Fluid Makeup in Shell all over the face. Angela created a structured brow with the soft brown powder in the limited edition New Chanel Le Sourcil De Chanel Brow Shaping Kit Brow Powder Brush Applicator Mirror 5g/0.17oz Nice. She lined Sandra’s eyes with the darker brown shade in the same palette.

Finally, she applied three coats of Chanel Inimitable Waterproof Mascara Volume Length Curl Separation in Noir for sexy, glamorous lashes. To create the real focus of Sandra’s look – a gorgeous, bold red lip – Angela applied Chanel Rouge Coco Hydrating Creme Lip Colour - # 22 Paris - 3.5g/0.12oz Colour in Paris. She finished the look by gently dabbing a bit of the same lip colour on the apples of Sandra’s cheeks – Angela’s signature makeup trick.
