The final awards show of the season is always a bittersweet moment for the collegiettes at the Beauty School blog. But rather than focusing on the depressing lack of red carpet events in the near future, we’re choosing to focus on the absolutely gorgeous makeup and hair from last night’s 86th Annual Academy Awards – scroll down for our favorite looks!
1. Kate Hudson
The bohemian beauty looked the epitome of California cool with her effortless side-parted waves and smoky, smudgy eye makeup and spot-on brows. We loved seeing her ditch the girl-next-door vibe for a slightly more sexy and dramatic look.
2. Kerry Washington
An absolutely radiant Kerry Washington complemented her pregnancy glow and gorgeous purple gown with a glamorous half-updo, lightly defined eyes and a deep plum lip color that really made her complexion pop and brought out her killer cheekbones.
3. Emma Watson
Sporting one of the only red lips on the carpet, the British beauty went for a more glam rock look centered around her signature bold and textured brows, flirty lashes and a deep red lip. To complement her edgy gown, the starlet went for a messy pony with a deep side part.
4. Olivia Wilde
The second mama-to-be on our list takes the cake for our favorite hairstyle of the evening, opting for a tousled updo with soft waves that framed her face perfectly. For makeup, the soon-to-be Mrs. Sudeikis played up her amazing bone structure with a classic cat eye, flawless skin and a nude lip.
5. Lupita Nyong’o
Hollywood’s new darling and one of the night’s big winners looked every bit a golden goddess with her to-die-for gold-and-diamond headband. The Best Supporting Actress winner glowed from within, opting for a flattering warm-toned blush, soft eyes and a pop of color on the lips.
6. Jessica Biel
Why pile on the makeup when you naturally look this flawless? Jessica Biel showed us that less is more by playing up her natural beauty with minimal eye makeup, flushed cheeks and a soft pink lip and finished off the effortless look simply side swept locks.
7. Angelina Jolie
Love her or hate her, you can’t deny that Angelina Jolie is one of the most gorgeous women in Hollywood. The beautiful star rocked her signature bronze shadow and smoked out cat-eye and a soft pink shade on her famous pout. She kept her hair sleek and tucked behind her ears to show off her enviable bone structure.
Hollywood’s most glamorous night didn’t disappoint and we loved seeing our favorite stars all dolled up for the red carpet. Let us know which looks were your favorites in the comments below!
