Oscar Beauty...

We've seen the dresses, now let's look at the makeup...

YES!

Now I may not be able to afford the dresses but makeup is something that can easily be copied (and yes by myself).

I can always pull a Tilda and go barefaced (I think that's what I'm going to call it now..."a Tilda"..)

Hated the dress but loved the makeup!

This is proof that white on the eyes can work on women of color! This is absolutely divine. Note to self: when wearing dramatic eyes, keep lips neutral. Duh right...not quite. There are people- i.e. me- who would wear this eye makeup and still pull out the bright pink lip gloss.

Maybe it's the baby or it could be her makeup but Jessica Alba is absolutely glowing! Her "modern goddess" look includes a braided updo and golden eyes.



Her retro curls and red lips were totally flawless as was the dress! Thank you Katherine for the return of old school 40's glamour!!!



The overall look was clean, fresh, and natural. Gloss was in and heavy duty makeup was out. There were a few smokey eyes (Jennifer Hudson, Penélope Cruz) but nothing too dramatic. Coral lips (à la Anne Hathaway) proved that you can never have too much red.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to make a trip to Sephora ;-)
