Oscar Makeup

My favorite part of the film awards season is actually before the shows when the stars are walking the red carpet.  Last night was no exception as I ate my chicken nuggets with my glass of red wine.  How exciting it must be to be a stylist or makeup artist to an actress getting ready for an awards show!  There were so many celebrities that just looked incredibly beautiful.  Many of the stars kept the makeup simple and natural which I love.  The key to great makeup application is to use just enough to enhance the beauty you already have by playing up your best features.  There is no need to overdo it since after all,  we're long past the 1980's when bright red lips, streaks of blush and bright blue eyeshadow with thick mascara were THE style.

So instead of focusing on the things you don't love about yourself;  figure out what features you love best and accentuate them:) 

 Below are some of my favorite looks from this years Oscars.
