How to: Steal the Oscars Beauty Looks

The Oscars. You may have heard of them? The little event that has driven social media into meltdown mode with the frocks and suits hitting up its red carpet over the past few hours? Yep, those guys. Here at bb we love the frocks but must admit that we are far more interested in the beauty trends being sported by some of Hollywood's most elite. Here are our top picks and the main beauty item you'll need to rip off their look. Red-dy, set, go!

Jessica Chastain's ruby pout...

Best look of the night so far! Jess' porcelain skin sets off her ruby red pout perfectly and brings a vintage chic feel to the red carpet. Stunning! Try Savoir Faire's Lipstick in Risque.

Adele's classic winged eye... 

Adele has stuck with what she knows, and on one of the biggest, most glam nights of your life, this can be a very sound beauty move (brides take note). Sticking with what you do best in your beauty routine often never fails. Don't get me wrong, it can be super fun trying something bold and crazy, and if pulled off, can be memorable for all the right reasons. But trust me, there is nothing like not knowing how to ace a wild beauty look and mucking it up before a special occasion to get your nerves frazzled and your confidence in a slump! For a classic winged eye like Adele's try the Glamorous Minerals Gel Eyeliner.

Reese Witherspoon's Old Hollywood curls... 

We are loving loose wavy, cascading curls here at bb right now. So much so, we did a tutorial on them last week! Check it out over here. Reese has nailed hers perfectly, and also managed to maintain a beautiful sheen in her strands, which can often be tricky for blondes. To get your light locks looking as lovely as Reese's be sure to get your hands on a good quality lightening shampoo like the John Frieda Sheer Blonde Go Blonder Lightening Shampoo and Conditioner, and don't forget to use a heat protectant to deter split ends. I love the John Frieda Frizz-Ease Dream Curls Curl Perfecting Spray, which not only encourages your curls to hold, but also nourishes the hair and keeps it from feeling dry and crunchy.

Jennifer Lawrence's glossy pout...

Golden girl, J.Law looked amazing! Her pretty glossed pout totally complimented her frothy pale gown as well as her peachy skin to perfection. For a similar colour, try the Silk Oil of Morocco Lip Gloss in Moroccan Desert.

Amanda Seyfried's smokey eye...

Amanda chose to play up her peepers with a mixture of eyeshadows in similar tones to her stunning dress. To steal, try a couple of silver tones blended together for depth and dimension. Start with a pale shade like the ibeauty eyeshadow in London, and wash over the entire lid. Add some definition with a deeper shade, like the ibeauty eyeshadow in gunmetal. Finish by adding in accents of mauve above the crease line. Try the e.l.f Essential Brightening Eye Colour palette in Silver Lining for a sweet mix of purples and metallics.

Anne Hathaway's feature finger...

On to another Les Mis beauty, Anne Hathaway sported some extra cute bling on her ring finger which highlighted her huge rock magnificently!

To ace this look for yourself, it couldn't be easier. Simply paint your digits a pretty pale shade, like Mode's Ooh baby before painting over your ring finger with a glimmery polish, like the Sally Hansen C0mplete Salon Manicure in Shoot the Moon. Too easy!

As you can see, many of the beauty looks on the R.C were classic and chic, which proves that sometimes, less is best. Unless you are Helena Bonham Carter of course! Which look did you love best? Will you steal any of these beauty looks for yourself? Let me know! - Lauren
