Oscar Beauty is Classic Beauty That's Also Current, Reflecting the Time....

By Laura Medina



The Oscars are Hollywood's first and most prestigious awards show, again the standard-bearer that other awards shows attempt to follow.

The Oscars also try very hard to award movies that reflect society's challenges and progress.  Oscar beauty is no different.

These cosmetics and hair styling and conditioning are today's current items, maintaining classic, elegant beauty for people reflecting today's society.  Being classy doesn't mean being staid or stuck in the past.  Progress can be timeless, too.  It doesn't have to be faddish or trendy.  Progressive never means being a fashion victim;..but that can be fun, too.  Shoot, it can even be retro.

Full Brows and Glossy Lips
Hailee Steinfeld and Janelle Monae both looked stunning with their full brows and glossy lips. Get the look with Palladio’s Velvet Matte Lip Color ($7) in Sateen and use the Silk FX Eyeshadow Palette ($12) in A La Mode for those smoky eyes. To get the boldest of brows, use the Brow Definer Micro Pencil ($7) and finish it off with the Brow Obsessed Mousse with Fibers ($8) to build sparse brows and fill in any gaps.


Bold Reds on the Red Carpet
Nicole Kidman, Kirsten Dunst, and Emma Roberts rocked the red lip on the red carpet last night, and matched it with classic black liner and mascara for the eyes. Get the look with Palladio’s Dreamy Matte Lipstick ($7.50) in, of course, Red Carpet for the lips, and for the eyes, the Fifty-Fifty Cat-Eye Liquid Liner  + Smoky Kajal ($15) and the Double Agent Lash Extender + Undercover Fiber Booster ($12).


Classic makeup can be retooled and revamped in that society's advanced technology, such as waxy red lipstick transformed into healthy, all-natural classic red lip gloss,  jane iredale Red Currant PureGloss® Lip Gloss imparts an ultra-glossy finish without feeling tacky! The soothing and hydrating formula has a base of organic oils including Moringa Butter, Lotus Flower Wax and Orange Peel Wax.


Since winning any award involves luck, according to Jane Iredale, smoky quartz gem is said to protect the wearer from negativity, bad vibes, and jealous haters.   jane iredale Mystikol® Powdered Eyeliner contains a built-in, removable brush which works wonders to create a perfectly rich line. The water-resistant powder/cream formula makes a shadow that won’t fade, crease or smear.  It's a good thing that  jane iredale Mystikol® Powdered Eyeliner is waterproof as it is elegant, since it rained this past "Oscar Sunday."  How's that for good luck, look winning while wet!
