Beauty Box: Oscar Makeup Bags

We’re just a few hours away from Hollywood’s biggest night, the Oscars. And while the stars are getting their beauty sleep, I’m up guessing what will be in their makeup bags tomorrow morning. The nominees for Best Actress include a wide range of talented women of all ages. From 11-year-old, Quvenzhané Wallis,to veteran French Actress, Emmanuelle Riva. Three of my favorite contenders include Jessica Chastain, Naomi Watts, and Jennifer Lawrence. These woman know how to rock a flawless makeup look on the red carpet.

Here’s my idea of what will be in their makeup bags tomorrow. The list includes everything from false lashes to La Mer Serum.

Jessica Chastain

{ While she may not be the only red-head in Hollywood, Jessica Chastain stands out in a crowd. Her piercing eyes, fair skin, and fiery locks set her apart from other starlets, as does her fearless acting chops. }

Naomi Watts

{ Naomi has such a timeless sense of style and loves to have fun with her hair and makeup. She often favors a 1920′s makeup style with deep red lips and flawless skin. She also tends to wear her pulled back in a low or side bun, which perfectly frames her face. }

Jennifer Lawrence

{ Jennifer is known for her young and fresh style. She’s also a beauty camilion who isn’t afraid to take risks. She’s been a blonde, red-head and brunette and always pulls it off. She also knows how to highlight her stunning eyes by using contracting eyeliner and lots of mascara. }

Red Carpet Watch: The 2013 Grammy Awards

The Grammy’s are similar to the VMA’s or MTV Music Awards in that they allow the nominees and guests to be a little bit more advantageous in their style choices. However, this year’s Grammy Award fashions were much more subdued than red carpets past. Rihanna looked more demure than she’s looked in years. On the other hand, Jennifer Lopez, who was suffering from the Angelia Jolie high slit syndrome.

Take a peek at my favorite looks of the night and then click here to see my list of fashion misses.

The 55th Annual GRAMMY Awards - Red Carpet

Rihanna looks so amazing in this red Azzadine Alaia gown. She traded her typical R rated garb for a chic and classic PG version. I also loved her honey blonde hair color, but a side or blunt bang would have made the look perfect.

I’m not sure who Taylor Swift’s new stylist is, but major kudos to that individual. Swift has been killing it on the red carpet lately! I thought she looked every bit of the songstress goddess in this white Grecian inspired gown by J. Mendal.

I’m still unsure of how Carly Rae Jepsen became famous, but she really looked great in this Roberto Cavalli silver gown. Tough it wasn’t the most adventurous look, it fit her well and the color did wonders for her skin tone.

I’m not quite sure why I liked Beyonce’s black and white outfit. Maybe because I love the idea of separates on the red carpet and it just seemed so unexpected from the queen of sex appeal. The one thing I would change would be the matching bracelets.

Red Carpet Watch: SAG Awards

I know this is a little bit late . . . ok, so a week late. BUT, if you’re not watching the Super Bowl, this Red Carpet Watch will give you a little fashion eye candy to keep you busy. This year’s 19th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards was the last award show before the Golden Globes and Oscars. Nominee’s like Jennifer Jennifer Lawrence and Naomi Watts looked stunning, while stars like Sigourney Weaver and Nicole Kidman were less impressive.

The hottest colors of the night included cobalt blue and silver and the silhouettes ranged from streamlined and polished to flowy and romantic. Take a look at my best dressed choices of the night and then check out who didn’t make the list.

19th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards - Red Carpet

What a babe! Naomi Watts has been on a role this award season and didn’t fail to impress at the SAGs. I loved how this simple, yet chic Marchesa dress looked on her It complimented her body shape and coloring perfectly.

How amazing does this navy blue Dior look on Jennifer Lawrence? This was probably my favorite dress she’s worn thus far because it had just the right amount of volume and structure.

Jennifer Garner looked beautiful in this golden Oscar de la Renta. She was the only one to choose a gown in this unique color and boy did she pull it off! I also loved her simple wavy hair style, which looked perfect with the opulence of the dress.

19th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards - Red Carpet

Ok, so Kerry Washington is just plain gorgeous. This snow white Rodarte dress with silver stud detail made her skin look incredible. I loved how the structured corset-like top with flowy skirt looked modern and timeless at the same time.

19th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards - Arrivals

Amanda Seyfried is one of the freshest faces in Hollywood, but sometimes misses the mark when it comes to her fashion choices. Not so at the SAG Awards. She killed it in this navy blue Zac Posen gown. Loved the train, lovd the color and loved the necklace.

19th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards - Arrivals

Marion Cotillard could wear a paper bag and look amazing. That being said, I wasn’t a huge fan of this dress at first. However, I do like the idea of the shape with the pointy toe heel. I just could thought the bow and the necklace looked a little be stuffy.

Red Carpet Watch: The 2012 Academy Awards

Last year, I was fortunate enough to be apart of E!’s Countdown to the Academy Awards segment and speak from the red carpet about what I would wear to an Oscar after party. I had an amazing time being able to be apart of the festivities. This year has been a whirl-wind of styling new and loyal clients and my wedding styling business has really taken off! Needless to say it was nice to be able to take a night off and simply enjoy the show.

The Oscars never seem to fail us when the rich and famous come out to play and honor their own. Highlights included the return of Billy Crystal, Sasha Baron Cohen showing up as his alter-ego and Angelina’s leg stealing everyone’s thunder. But enough about all of that, let’s get to the good stuff!

Here are a few of my favorite looks of the night:

Emma stone was my favorite look of the night. She always takes risks with her fashion choices on the red carpet and they always seem to pay off. I love the playful bow detail and the color that compliments her ivory skin. Michelle Williams was another favorite of the night in a crimson Louis Vuitton. Her hair looked fresh in her signature pixie cut and the silhouette gave a 1950′s feel.

I wasn’t as big of a fan of Gwyneth’s look as most people were. However, I did appreciate the modern feel she was going for in this white Tom Ford gown. also liked her relaxed up-do and of course her arms look flawless! Rooney Mara was one of those I was super excited to see walk the red carpet. Though her Gievenchy dress was not what I had expected, but she did look very glamorous and I loved her hair and red lip.

Jessica Chastain was one of my favorite beauty looks of the night. Her hair and makeup looked flawless and fresh. Her McQueen gown was a bit aging for my taste, but over all, she looked great. Kristin Wigg hit the mark again in a gold J. Mendel. The detailed bodice was the perfect compliment to the feathered skirt.

Navy blue is one of my favorite colors to see on the red carpet. Leslie Mann wore a stunning jeweled midnight blue Cavalli, which made her starberry locks look oh so chic! Tina Fey donned  a classic navy Herrera gown with black sash and bold earrings.

Red Carpet Watch: 2012 Golden Globes

This year’s Golden Globe fashions were not so much about one specific trend as much as it was about celebrating individualism. It was fitting because this year’s nominees were as unique and different as the characters they portrayed. Still, you could spot certain color trends that were consistent between the attendees. Take Kate Winslet and Claire Danes instance, looking demure and still fashion forward in black and white.

I also loved the statuesque Charlize Theron in nude Dior and the up-in-coming Jessica Chastain, in Givenchy Haute Couture. Young Hollywood was also out in full force making statements all their own. We had the aloof yet undeniably stunning Rooney Mara (on whom I have a slight girl crush) in a black Nina Ricci gown. Fashion Plate Emma Stone also made an entrance is a deep plum Lanvin.

Funny girl Zooey Deschanel and Indie star Evan Rachel Wood took ques from the peacock in emerald green and gold frocks. Bridesmaids star, Kristen Wiig looked surprising chic in 1970′s inspired Bill Blass and a new brunette do. I’m not usually a fan of Jessica Biel’s style choices, but this time she really got it right in a long-sleeve Elie Saab.
