our review of 2011 oscar beauty for the white carpet



We were in awe at this years wonderful red carpet beauty looks.  From fresh and fierce to elegant and classic, we are enamored at how versatile these looks can translate beautifully on the white carpet.   Here, we share a little inspiration for 2011 brides with the help of  timeless looks we’ve created for past Bride Style Beauty clients.

 


Similar to Nicole Kidman’s 2011 Oscar Beauty Look, keep makeup soft and pretty with a blend of soft pinks and nudes.  Great for blondes and redheads who are both bronzed and porcelain gorgeous as demonstrated by our brides Emily and JoAnna.


Similar to Mila Kunis’ 2011 Oscar Beauty Look, Lisa completed her white carpet moment with statement lips and a smoky eye.  Keep this look fresh by pairing this bold look with a sexy down-do or if going ‘up’, keep it tousled ala Mila by keeping the top and sides of your up-do soft, not tappered tightly along the scalp.


Similar to Jennifer Hudson’s 2011 Oscar Beauty Look, LaToya graced her wedding day with a polished beauty approach that focused on glowy, dewy skin and bold beautiful lips with the perfect amount of sheen.  With hair swept back in a tasteful and elaborate up sweep, the focus was on LaToya’s smile and captivating eyes.


Similar to Sandra Bullock’s 2011 Oscar Beauty Look, keep your up-do uplifted at top and keep the back wavy with twists that showcase curls, waves and sheen – a fantastic approach for brunettes.


Similar to Hilary Swank’s 2011 Oscar Beauty Look, dramatic up-do’s are always a classic approach to your white carpet moment.  Be like Amanda and complete your look with a stylish brooch.


Similar to Anne Hathaway’s 2011 Oscar Beauty Look, rock a side-do similar to Katie’s that’s soft and gathered with the right amount of curl and flirty falls.   {makeup not applied at this trial photo}.
