2011 Oscars Makeup: Nicole Kidman

Nicole Kidman‘s makeup look was created by makeup artist Angela Levin. The inspiration:
“Nicole’s Oscar look was glamorous Hollywood with a Brigitte Bardot twist. She looked sexy and playful! Beautiful glowing pale lips, rosy cheeks, and glamour were my inspiration, concentrating on her beautiful eyes and gorgeous skin.”

How-to:

“To prepare Nicole’s skin, I used CHANEL Sublimage Essential Regenerating Cream all over her face and neck, as well as on her shoulders and décolleté. As a base I used CHANEL Vitalumiere Fluid Makeup in Ivoire. For the eyes, I used the dark shade from the CHANEL Eyeshadow Duo in Bleu-Tendre feathering the shadow inward, creating a dark outer corner of the eye, for a bit of a up 60’s look. Then I used the taupe shade in the CHANEL Quadra Eyeshadow in Stupendous in the inner corner of the eye. From the CHANEL Quadra Eyeshadow in Winter Nights, I used the medium, silvery taupe shade and swept it on all over the eye using a round motion, blending all the shades together. On her eyebrows I used the CHANEL Brow Definer in Blond Clair, and two coats of CHANEL Inimitable Mascara in Noir, on top and bottom. Underneath the eye I used a Sephora Nano Eye Pencil in Silver Green. For her lips we chose CHANEL Rouge Coco Lip Colour in Magnolia. Then I used the same shade of lip colour on her cheeks, dabbing the shade on the apples of her cheeks with my finger. One of my favorite red carpet beauty tricks!”

I did NOT enjoy that dress, but her makeup certainly shined. What say you, beauties?
