Oscars 2014 Best Skin & Makeup

I love, love, love watching the Oscars.  It all about the fashion and makeup for me though.  I would rather watch the red carpet than the actual Oscars.  Here is who I thought won best look hands down!  Charlize Theron looked AMAZING! Want to copy her mod look?  Makeup artist, Pati Dubroff for Dior Beauty, spilled all the details on Charlize's makeup Oscar night.


The makeup look was all about Twiggy,” Dubroff told PEOPLE, adding that She was inspired by the ‘60s mod vibe that she saw on the runways in Milan. “Twiggy and the cool girls, they each had their own thing that was part of their personality.”

Dubroff started by using two primers to prep the star’s face and applied foundation where needed. Dubroff used a soft gloss (in this case, Dior Addict Fluid Stick in Frisson) for the lip and a peachy blush on the cheeks. She then added a little brow definition before focusing on the eyes — and more specifically, the lashes.

“The upper lashes were delicate, not too extreme. They didn’t feel like a reality star,” Dubroff says. “False lashes can look refined. They don’t have to have a trashy factor. Lashes have gotten a really bad rap from certain people!”
Here’s Dubroff’s recipe for instant Twiggy eyes:
Step 1: Use a liquid pen at the base and apply from one end to the other (don’t create a wing).
Step 2: Add upper and lower lashes.
Step 3: Finish with a couple of coats of mascara – but not too much!

Voilà! Instantaneous edgy eyes with a vintage twist.

All the best,

Karen
