Now the red carpet has been rolled-up for another year, we look back at the hottest beauty trends at the 2018 Academy Awards – and how you can channel them this spring!
The trend: Nude beauty
Celebs rocking it on the red carpet: Haley Bennett and Gina Rodriguez
Wear it well: To pull off this gorgeous – and unforgiving – look, you’ll need to create a flawless base and choose a moisturising tint rather than a full foundation. Try using Dermalogica’s Age Smart Skinperfect Primer SPF30 for an instantly smooth surface with a neutral tint to help balance tone and enhance radiance, and Sheer Tint Light SPF20 with natural light-diffusing iron oxides to help balance skin tone and produce a sheer glow.
The trend: Fluffy brows
Celebs rocking it on the red carpet: Sandra Bullock and Greta Gerwig
Wear it well: To get the voluminous, natural look, try an eyebrow serum to enhance your natural brows. Medik8’s Lash & Brow Duo helps to create fuller, healthier-looking lashes and brows by providing an all-in-one boost to their thickness and condition. With a fine brush for precise eyebrow application, and a mascara wand to coat every single lash, this product makes it easy to accentuate your natural beauty.
The trend: Blue/bronze eyes
Celeb rocking it on the red carpet: Lupita Nyong’o
Wear it well: This is a strong look with two clashing shades that contrast in a breathtaking way: it works best if you have dark or olive skin. To steal Lupita’s style, go for cobalt on the lids and a shimmering bronze highlighter on the brow bones.
The trend: Rosy cheeks – and matching eyes
Celebs rocking it on the red carpet: Emma Stone and Saoirse Ronan
Wear it well: To capture this look, keep the rest of your make-up neutral and let the power-pink do the talking. If you’re looking for a hero product try New CiD i Blossom in Petal, a silky powder blusher stamp with a simple-to-use sponge applicator to add an instant healthy flush of colour.
The trend: Natural Afro hair
Celebs rocking it on the red carpet: Viola Davis and Lupita Nyong’o
Wear it well: Natural hair doesn’t just look beautiful on a red carpet – it can look and feel amazing every single day. To embrace your curls, and enjoy the feeling of brushing through your natural hair, try the new Tangle Teezer designed specifically for thick, wavy and Afro hair.
The trend: Plum lipstick
Celebs rocking it on the red carpet: Taraji P. Henson and Salma Hayek
Wear it well: Plum is not a forgiving shade, so make sure your lips are as soft and comforted as possible before you apply it. Decleor’s Intense Nutrition Luxuriant Nourishing Lip Balm softens the feel of lips with moisture and protects from dryness.
The trend: Bombshell waves
Celebs rocking it on the red carpet: Jennifer Garner, Laura Dern and Allison Williams
Wear it well: Waves just look wonderful in the spring – and if you’re getting ready for a big night out, Hollywood style bouncing curves will glam-up any outfit. Get into a femme fatale frame of mind with L’Oreal Professionnel Tecni Art Hollywood Waves Siren Waves, an innovative elasto-cream to produce defined and shiny “elastic” curls.
The trend: Roots on show
Celeb rocking it on the red carpet: Margot Robbie and Saoirse Ronan
Wear it well: Ready for your hair-don’t-care moment? Showing off visible regrowth is perfect if you’re in need of a root touch-up – but a little low on finances. For the ultimate “lazy-girl” beauty, either keep the look totally low-maintenance by wearing hair tousled and natural, or contrast your rebellious roots with ultra-sleek, ultra-straight lengths.
