Don’t miss these 3 Beauty Trends Straight off the 2023 Oscars Red Carpet

The 95th Academy Awards saw old Hollywood glam in all its splendour.

Bold red lips, slick, shiny hair, and minimal makeup — celebrities pulled out all the stops this year and have everyone talking about their stunning classic looks laced with modern twists.

If you are looking to recreate some of these gorgeous looks for a glamorous night out or an upcoming event, we’ve rounded up some of the best beauty and makeup picks for you to have fun with.

Get your red pout on!

The iconic red lipstick has made a comeback. It is a colour that never fails to make heads turn and a staple that every girl needs in her vanity bag.

The red lip has always been seen as an elegant option and it’s a classic for a reason. Any look can be transformed with this pop of colour.

Many celebrities from Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Jessica Chastain, Michelle Williams and more rocked the red lip at this year’s Academy Awards.

Our favourite picks include Elizabeth Arden, Legendary Red Color Lipstick (AED 115), the Revolution Pro Red Lipstick (AED63) and Flormar’s Kiss Me More Lip Tattoo in Candy 11 Red (AED 49) Pair your lipstick with a liner like the Milani, Color Statement Lipliner, (AED 34.65).

Don’t forget to keep your lips nourished and hydrated. The FILORGA, Nutri-Filler Lips (AED 112) is your go-to lip balm oil that will keep your lips plump and smooth day and night.

Less is more!

In recent times, the “au natural” makeup look has been very popular. Celebrities like Hailey Bieber have been flaunting flawless and glowing skin with little to no makeup and focusing more on their skincare routines and embracing their natural skin. At the Oscars this year, many came with natural makeup, and Lady Gaga even chose to perform with no makeup on.

Being able to rock a “no makeup” look means prepping your skin in

advance and using beauty products which are subtle but enhance

your features. Using a sheet mask pre-makeup or the night before is the perfect way to get your skin ready, and the GLIST Ultra Hydro Plumping Mask (Box of 5 for AED 299) is one of our favourites.

Once you start your makeup, you need that concealer which isn’t too thick but still gives your skin that flawless finish, and what better than the Bourjois Healthy Mix Medium Coverage Concealer (AED 44). Last but not least, perfect your look with

a highlighter like the wetnwild Megaglow Blushlighter (AED 38) for a flawless glow and flushed cheeks.

Slicked Back Hair

A tight ponytail or bun with slicked-back hair is always super elegant, and the celebrities who rocked these hairstyles on the red carpet were Cara Delevigne, Florence Pugh and Elizabeth Olsen to name a few.

We love HASK’s 5-in-1 Leave-In Spray (AED 39) which is sulphate and paraben free and gives your hair the volume and strength it needs to stay in place for hours! We also love The Hair Addict’s Frizz Off! Kit (AED 190) for cleansed, moisturized and frizz-free hair.
