Academy Awards 2009: My picks for gorgeous makeup/hairstyle/gown

The Academy Awards is probably the only awards show I see in the whole year, if not one of the few. I'm not a huge follower of the "Red Carpet" and all the award season craziness but I do like to watch the Oscars. Very emotional and all that. I get to see the dresses, makeup and hairstyles during the show, not the red carpet. Silly, I know, since it is in the red carpet that everyone says "my dress/hair/jewelry is from...". LOL

This time I saw more gorgeous gowns than previous years. My fave for both hairstyle and incredibly romantic/gorgeous!-gorgeous! evening gown have to be Nicole Kidman...just WOW! This lady is so classy, has such a classic beauty, it is surreal most of the times. And only someone as pale as her can pull off a dress like this. And her bob, with oh-so-soft curls, simply perfect.

Here is a video a YouTuber made about Mrs. Kidman at the moment she was presenting an award.



My choice for makeup is Anne Hathaway. This young girl has a brilliant future in Hollywood, she is just an excellent actress. She looked royal in her white Armani Prive dress (my second favorite dress of the 2009 Oscars). She look very elegant indeed, but I do wish her hairstyle had been different. She looks older than she really is.

The good thing is she kept her makeup very simple, it "balanced" her whole look. About her makeup:

"[Anne Hathaway's] makeup look was sophisticated and elegant. Anne’s perfect brows framed her face and her long, lush lashes really made her eyes pop. She donned a deep berry-toned lip to complete her look. To get Anne’s look, try Lancôme Le Crayon Poudre in Sable to fill in and shape the brows. Lightly dust Lancôme Color Design Eye Shadow in Ciel du Soir over the entire eyelid followed by Le Crayon Khôl in Black Ebony applied to the upper lash line. Lightly smudge so there are no harsh lines. Apply several coats of Lancôme Ôscillation Mascara for a faux-lash effect. For just a hint of color, dust Lancôme Blush Subtil in Sheer Amourose on the apples of the cheeks. To create her berry stained pout, apply Lancôme Color Fever Lipstick in Brickhouse."--E. Cerminara, Lancome

She had the most natural light makeup, though the MA did played with her eyes by defining her eyebrows and also applying black eyeliner on top for a sexy classic look. Her skin looked incredible. Her whole look was flawless.
