Just yesterday, the Academy Awards, Hollywood's biggest and most star-studded event, was held and the internet went proper crazy over Leonardo DiCaprio's much deserved Oscar win! His acceptance speech was truly inspiring and his message about preserving and caring for the environment is one that I believe every person needs to hear and do some serious thinking about.
Now if there's one thing about me it's that I'm a sucker for watching big entertainment events like the Oscars, the Golden Globes, the Grammys, and so on. I get giddy about and love seeing the different outfits and makeup looks on the equally diverse performers and entertainers. As an aspiring MUA, I hope that one day I can help a celebrity (or two...) get red carpet ready! For now, I'll happily settle on pure admiration as I watch said events and gaze upon photo after photo through my laptop screen.
The Oscars really bring out some of the best in makeup looks, I think, and this year was without exception yet again so choosing my favorites was both a difficult and entirely enjoyable experience...
Selena Gomez. There's something about a dark, dramatic eye look paired with a nude lip that I love and Selena rocked just that at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party. I guess it's the contrast and balance of the look which appeals to me most, plus I'm always a fan of dramatic eyes and pale lips. The rest of her look was kept low key and simple. Her neatly groomed brows were just lightly filled in and defined and there is only a hint of blush peeking through her flawless complexion. A smart move by her MUA, especially since she was also donning a fantastic, shimmery Louis Vuitton dress. To add anything else to this look could easily bring it over the top and there would be too many elements on her competing for attention.
