2010 Oscars Makeup Class – Cameron Diaz:

Cameron Diaz always looks gorgeous on the red carpet, so I can always predict that her look for the Oscar’s will be a winner. This year she had a smooth, classic Hollywood look with a modern yet glamorous twist. 

She rocked a red-orange lipstick that is right on trend this year.  To complement her bold lip colour, she kept her eye makeup simple and went for an overall bronze glow and rosy cheeks.  With a few key tips, you too can recreate her makeup look from home. 

Instructions:

Step 1 - Make sure your face is clean and dry.  Apply one pump of bareMinerals prime time foundation primer for an even layer all over your face to ensure a nice smooth surface for your makeup application.  Allow to dry before following with your foundation.

Step 2 - Using the makeup sponge provided apply napoleon perdis camera finish foundation evenly on your face blending carefully for a just airbrushed-like look.   Apply some warm, rich rosy cream blush such as gloMinerals glotint for cheeks and lips on the apples of your cheeks and blend down using a clean dry sponge.

Step 3 - Gently pat some powder bronzer all over your face for a sheer veil of shimmer using napoleon perdis mosaic powder & puff - bronzing to create the highlight of this look.  Alternatively, use the napoleon perdis sable powder brush s25 for a gorgeous blend of colour.

Step 4 - A nude eye is the perfect accompaniment to a bright red lip.  Swipe some gloMinerals eye shadow – sand pebble in the crease of the lids then line your entire eye with a black gloMinerals precision eye pencil on the lid and waterline.

Step 5 - Apply napoleon perdis long black mascara extending from the root of the lash and curling out to the tip.  Next, hold the applicator upright and run along the top and bottom lashes lightly to fan them out.

Step 6 - Use napoleon perdis sable lip brush 3h to apply the napoleon perdis devine goddess lipstick - Hara and then add another layer if the colour isn't solid enough.

Tip!
To give your natural sun-kissed glow an extra bit of oomph, try a treatment of xen-tan face tanner prior to your makeup application.

Your look is now complete.  Did you have any favourites on the red carpet this year?
