2015 Red Carpet Beauty Bests!

Sunday marked a very important day for beauty lovers everywhere! Yes, you guessed it! The Oscars. Not only am I myself a fellow beauty lover, but I am also a big movie buff. I enjoy every part of the Oscars including the awards, the musical performances and most importantly, the red carpet. The fashion is something I think we can all appreciate; however, this year I was really focused on some of the beauty trends! From that overall glow, to bold lips and cheekbones - the red carpet lit up with beautiful faces. Below you will find my top three favourite makeup looks and how you can achieve them. Enjoy!

Lupita Nyong'o and Her Overall Glow

Lupita Nyong'o is so incredibly beautiful. She was truly radiant walking the red carpet this year and I couldn't help but notice her glowing complexion. During these cold winter months it seems like all of us could use a little pick me up for our skin. In order to achieve that overall glow - I would recommend...

Clarins Instant Light Complexion Illuminating Base

This product is very multi-use. You can either use it as an overall primer for your makeup, or on top as a highlighter. This base gives you a perfect complexion, all day long! It naturally illuminates and corrects your skin tone, in addition to hydrating and soothing the skin. It will leave your skin with that overall dewy glow; making your face appear fresh, healthy and radiant.

Chrissy Teigen and That Bold Lip

Who doesn't love a dark, berry lip this season? I noticed many classic, red lips this year on the red carpet but the look that struck me the hardest was Chrissy Teigen's dark, merlot looking lip. Doing a lip this bold truly emphasizes the natural size and shape of the lip. It can bring together a nude, smoky eye by placing emphasis on one area; since we all know extremely bold eyes AND lips make for a look too intense. In order to achieve this look, I recommend...

Lancome L'Absolu Rouge in 484 "Rose Noire"

Look at this beauty. This lipstick has it all! A creamy and luscious formula, in a long-wearing, deep berry shade. It will make your lips feel replenished and will create visibly fuller and smoother lips. The satiny, saturated colour wraps lips in luxury—so they are left feeling softer and moist for hours. Contains Vitamin E and SPF 12.

J-Lo and Her Defined Cheekbones

This was my favourite dress at the Oscars... just, UGH! Moving on, J-Lo always looks fabulous. We all know about that "J-Lo Glow" yet I was really taken aback by just how sculpted her cheekbones looked this year. I know this is something that many people would like to achieve but don't really know how to; so I am going to explain it in the easiest terms using the following product.

Nars Blush/Bronzer Duo in Orgasm/Laguna

Yes, that blush is really called orgasm. The good thing about having a blush/bronzer duo is that you can sculpt and create depth on your very own cheekbones. By placing the bronzer just below the arch of the cheekbone, we are creating the illusion of a higher, more intense line. After this, you would sweep the blush over the apples of the cheeks and just along (or above) the cheekbones. This will make your cheekbones look more defined, thus giving a radiant, sculpted finish. After this process is complete, people will mistake you for J-Lo just by walking down the street, I swear. Not to mention you will look orgasmic. Literally.

Available at Sephora.
