The Recap: Oscars 2013 Beautiful Ones

Feb25

What a looooooong night it was, with the two hour red carpet coverage and the actual show being over three and a half hours, I feel like a paycheck should be in my mailbox just for watching. Nevertheless the stars did not disappoint with fashion choices that kept you on the edge of your seat, these ladies included, Charlize Theron, Halle Berry, Naomi Watts, Kerry Washington, Zoe Saldana, Catherine Zeta Jones, Kelly Rowland, Stacy Keibler, Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Garner. Their hair, makeup, dress and accessories were all a match made in heaven.

Top 10 Best Dressed Ladies at the Oscars

Choosing ten beautiful women was easy the standouts were the ones that made you say Ooh out loud. No one’s makeup was overstated, simply enhanced beauty which was lovely.  My favorite makeup look of the night came from Adele who won an award for Skyfall. Her dress on the red carpet did nothing for her full figure but her makeup did EVERYTHING! Preferred was her performance dress pictured below.

 Renee Zellweger who seemed to be out for the count last night, wore a simple golden Carolina Herrera dress which I loved but everything else about her was just lackluster including her non existent brows.

If you haven’t heard of Olivia Pope where have you been under a rock?! Though I myself haven’t watched a single episode of Scandal to date (don’t kill me) I definitely know about the darling damsal. She has been doing her thing stylistically for a long time and turned it on once again for the NAACP Image Awards this past weekend; where Kerry took home the Outstanding Actress in a Drama Series Award for her role in SCANDAL; Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture Award for her role in DJANGO UNCHAINED; and the President’s Award, given in recognition of special achievement and exceptional public service. Got get it Ms. Washington!

Kerry Washington who has been on a roll beauty and fashion wise for quite a long time can’t seem to get it wrong. For the festivities she donned a fabulous Oscar de la Renta Spring 2013 dress which melted my little fashion heart.

Now lets talk about her hair and makeup which I always love because she is always on point with both. She had a subtle smokey eye paired with a light pink lip that just paired so well with the dress.url

I was able to get the skinny on hair from celeb hairstylist Marcus Francis who utilized the amazing much raved about Carol’s Daughter Monoi line.

To get the look, Francis:

  • Blow dried the hair with a round brush, adding a few drops of Carol’s Daughter Monoi Oil Sacred Strengthening Serum to the ends.
  • Flat ironed the hair from roots to ends to seal in the shine, adding in a small pump of Carol’s Daughter Monoi Repairing Split End Sealer after flat ironing to lock in added moisture.
  • Sectioned out the top middle section, creating a clean part on either side of the head, then lightly teased a few sections at the front for height, and brushed using a Mason Pearson hair brush. Francis then blended the teased hair into the back of the head, keeping the sides clean and securing with two bobby pins underneath the hair on either side.
  • With a 1 1/4″ size curling iron, Francis curled the ends of medium-sized sections and held for three seconds for added movement, brushing out to soften and break up any tendency the hair had to curl.
  • Smoothed the hairline with a spritz of Carol’s Daughter Macadamia Heat Styling Hairspray on a toothbrush-like finishing tool. Finally, Francis sprayed the entire head and finished with a final half pump of Monoi Repairing Split End Sealer on the curled ends.
