Here are our picks for hair, makeup, and style that made the red carpet sizzle
Jennifer Hudson – Jennifer popped on the carpet in that tangerine-orange Versace gown with purple shoes to boot! As a matter of fact, celebrity hairstylist Kiyah Wright tells eye*like*your*style the inspiration for the elegant updo was indeed THE gown. “When I saw the dress I was totally inspired, and thought hot, sexy, Barbie doll. The week started with another look, and I was totally unprepared. When I saw this look, I was like Wow!” exclaims Wright.
With Jennifer’s new svelte figure, Wright felt the updo would keep her look young. Using her favorite hair products L’Oreal Professional Elnett Satin, Wright achieved the not-so-formal style with a chignon low ponytail with a little backside décor. To finish the look Wright used the golden hot quarter size iron to curl all over and use the body and fullness to tease and sculpt her look as desired. Glam could not go awry on the red carpet so a strong hold hairspray and hairpins was the business to mold and sculpt Jennifer’s mane and kept it in place all night long.
Mila Kunis - The Black Swan star was stunning in a lavender lace Elie Saab Couture gown. Celebrity makeup artist Tracey Levy took inspiration for Mila Kunis’ Oscar look directly from the bold yet feminine gown. Rather than matching the gown, Levy used colors that accentuated Kunis’ skin tone and complimented the entire look. For the face, Lancome Teint Miracle Lit-from-Within Foundation, Lancome Blush Subtil in Sheer Amourose. For the eyes, Levy blended coral and bronze tone shadows, Lancome Color Design 5 Pan Palette in Coral Crush, Lancome Color Design Eye Shadow in Impress, Lancome Le Crayon Khôl EyeLiner in Black for striking definition, and Lancome Hypnôse Waterproof Custom Volume Mascara in Black to finish. Her lips: Lancome Color Fever Gloss in Blazing Pink and Lancome La Laque Fever Lipshine in Lucent Nude.
TRESemmé hairstylist Mara Roszak created Mila’s Grecian-inspired updo: soft, feminine, and romantic. To replicate the look, apply TRESemmé Naturals Mousse to wet hair and dry it, parting the hair to one side. She then wrapped pieces around a 1-inch barrel curling iron, curl away from your face in sections. Brushed out the curled sections and gather the hair off to one side in a messy chignon. Then spray it all over with TRESemmé Naturals Finishing Spray for a soft-hold finish.
The beauty breakdown: Celebrity makeup artist Kara Yoshimoto Bua was inspired by the lightness and shimmer of Halle’s gorgeous Marchesa gown, and interpreted that into her soft nude makeup look. Her base was a mixture of Chanel Mat Lumiere Matte Fluid Makeup shades in Honey, Walnut and Chestnut. Bua played up her eyes with warm browns, keeping them shimmery and soft while smoking them up and lining the inner eye, using Revlon Luxurious Smoky Eye Pencil in Brown Smoky and Revlon Custom Eyes Mascara in Black. For the cheeks, to balance out the smoky eye, but still keeping the look healthy and fresh, Bua applied Chanel Joues Contraste Powder Blush in Horizon, a warm glowing peach. For the lips, Chanel Precision Lip Definer in Peche, a peach tone that has just enough brightness and definition, and applied Chanel Glossimer in Petit Peche. Her appearance on the carpet was undoubtedly one of the peak moments of the night.
Scarlett Johansson - Scarlett Johansson definitely caught our eye dressed in burgundy lace Dolce & Gabbana dress. Celebrity makeup artist Gianpaolo Ceciliato accentuated the 26-year-old starlet’s tousled bob hairstyle with a warm caramel, gold, and rose shadows from Dolce & Gabbana's Smooth Eye Colour Quad in Stromboli. He lined her lids in Dolce & Gabbana The Crayon Intense Eyeliner in Gold and several coats of Dolce & Gabbana Mascara in black. Ceciliato brushed a light dusting of Dolce & Gabbana The Illuminator in Eva onto the apples of her cheeks to create a lit-from-within look and finished with Dolce & Gabbana The Ultra Shine Lipgloss in Candy.
