My Winning Oscar Looks



Well, it's that time of the year, the day after the night before where we pore ourselves over Glamour.com and Cosmo to “yay or nay” Hollywood starlets, and men’s facial hair is scrutinized to the point of just plain desire and envy (by the other half obviously).
You've got it; The Oscars!

After watching the event, I can concur that the evening looked an absolute hoot, and somewhere between Ellen’s selfie/pizza run to Leo’s embrace with Matthew Mcconaughey; I looked to the faces of the silver screen stars to pick out my favourite bare-faced beauties and smoking sirens, before they smudged marinara sauce on their cheek.


Of course, it comes with no surprise that the hottest looks were inspired by the predicted S/S 14 looks we saw at Fashion Week. A mixture of glowing skin, soft blush and neutral facial tones with the occasional pop of colour on the lip or eyes; a look Lapita Nyong'o nailed subtly and elegantly, sure to not take any focus away from her dreamy power-blue Prada. Amy Adam’s also opted to enhance her features with colour however kept it complimentary with a natural strawberry red lip (similar to MAC’s “Brave”) and a mix of golden and burgundy on the lid to enhance her green eyes.

Hollywood hottie's Kate Hudson and Charlize Theron took advantage of their natural beauty and went with a perfect "I woke up like this" look, with flawless, glowing skin; subtle blush tones and a slight cat-eye to add drama (it was the Oscars after all).

Jared Leto sadly didn’t take advantage of those god-given cheekbones we saw in Dallas Buyers Club, but Angelina had us covered and went with a flawless, Oscar-worthy look; she let her eyes do the talking with a nude lip which had the slightest rosy tint to prevent a wash out and complimented her intense lined eyes, fluttering lashes and subtle gold highlights amist the smokey-ness of the outer areas of her eyes.

All in all, the ladies showcased some fabulous looks, perfect to keep in mind for night outs, dinners - easily tailored for any occasion you have planned. You never know - Ellen might just want you in her next selfie.
