Oscar Beauty Demystified

Hey gals!

I just got word about the cosmetics behind the looks of three of my fave Oscar beauties.

Miley Cyrus wowed in a crimson gown and fresh makeup thanks to Dior International Celebrity Makeup Artist Pati Dubroff. Said Dubroff of the look: "I was inspired by Miley's radiant
youth. It was all about glowing, gorgeous skin with flushed cheeks and a
popsicle-stained mouth. Then for the Oscar glam part-tons of black mascara
first and then blue mascara to top it off! The final touch was some 'fairy
dust' glitter-she's a Disney princess come to life!"

Cheeks: Benetint by Benefit, Glitter by Makeup Forever
Lips: Dior Addict High Shine Lipstick in Flamenco Red

Presenter Keri Russell ("Waitress" and "August Rush") showed off her delicate beauty in a stunning neutral gown and makeup to match. Celebrity
Makeup Artist Mai Quynh said she was inspired by Russell's "putty-colored
dress." Said Quynh: "I wanted the look to be ethereal and organic, like her dress and hair."
Eyes: DiorShow Mascara in Black
Cheeks: DiorShow Powder in Hip Peach
Lips: DiorKiss in Hazelnut Lychee

Laura Linney (nominated for her role in "The Savages") was as classy and sophisticated as ever thanks to Celebrity Makeup Artist Kristofer Buckle. "It's about simplistic, manicured beauty, very anti-trend," said Buckle of the look. "Laura is a strong, accomplished woman so I wanted the makeup to be all about her and enhancing her natural beauty."
Eyes: DiorShow Blackout Mascara
Lips: Dior Addict High Shine Lipstick in Casual Beige #222

Hilary Swank Rocks New Le 2 De Guerlain Mascara on the Red Carpet

Celebrity makeup artist Kara Yoshimoto Bua worked with Guerlain cosmetics to create Hilary Swank’s makeup look at the 2008 Academy Awards. The look was all about the eyes. To create dramatic ones, she used several coats of the new Le 2 de Guerlain Mascara on the top and bottom lashes and silvery, charcoal shades of eyeshadow from Guerlain’s Spring palette. She paired this with soft pink glossy lips for an ultra feminine look.

Here's the complete list of Guerlain products Kara used:
·Le 2 de Guerlain Two-Brush Mascara in Black
·4-Colour Eyeshadow Palette in Perle d’Argent (pearl /gray shimmer /
gunmetal shimmer / charcoal)
·KissKiss Gloss in Rose Florida
·Orchidée Impériale Eye & Lip Cream

I didn't love her dress, but I did love her eye concept. I love a Guerlain mascara and can't wait to try out the new Le 2!
