Best Of Beauty ~ Oscars 2016

So what were your thoughts about the 2016 Oscars Red Carpet beauty?

Frankly I was super under-whelmed. Sometimes it seems as though in a mad effort to look casually cool some of the ladies looked as if they didn't realize that this is one of the two most glamorous nights in the American year, the other being the Met Gala.
I hate seeing ladies underdone on such a big night.

ho-hum hair and makeup on Alicia Vikander

I was so disappointed in the absolutely gorgeous Alicia Vikander's hair and makeup for the red carpet. She looked like she was on her way to the supermarket. Or Home Depot. Maybe it was just the hair that bugged me? Because her after party look was fabulous.

At the post-Oscars Vanity fair party Alicia looked amazing. This would have been a far better Red Carpet look.

Brie Larson's hair and makeup were also too casual in my opinion.
The hair was awful, and the makeup didn't compliment her eyes.

I really didn't get it. She looked so much better later in the evening at the Vanity Fair party.

Doesn't she look lovely here? Why not this look for the Oscars Red Carpet??

My absolute favorite look on the red carpet this year, second to none, was the incredible makeup on Olivia Munn, created by Patrick Tabere.

That lip was everything! Patrick used a combo of 
Chanel Rouge Allure Lipsticks 96 and 90,  offset by blush 76 Frivole and 55 by Chanel. 

If you are going to stand out for being fabulous, Oscar night is the night to do it.

Olivia's after party makeup change was also gorgeous.

Other notables were Charlize Theron for being Charlize Theron.

Margot Robbie was perfection.

Jennifer Lawrence's hair was fantastic and her eye game was strong both for the red carpet (she ran in right as the ceremony was beginning)

and after, when she changed into a very Taylor Swift-esque look.

Rooney Mara's makeup packed a fierce punch - that brow!!! that lip! that eye!

Chrissie Tiegan's bronze and gold makeup was lovely, and her wispy, soft hairdo complimented her total look.

Saoirse Ronan's eye makeup was the perfect counterpoint to her dress. (which I thought was fabulous.)

Rachel McAdams hair and makeup were both perfect.

11 Celebrity Bridesmaids

It's an honor to be asked to be a bridesmaid. 
And it's kind of fun to think about celebrities stepping out of the spotlight and taking a secondary position to be a bridesmaid for someone they hold dear.
This is a repost of an article from RomanceBeat.com about 11 celebrities who gorgeously walked down the aisle as bridesmaids for their close personal friends and family in the most recent years, without missing a step.

1- Our favorite heiresses, Paris and Nicky Hilton, were dressed pretty in pink for their cousin Brooke’ s wedding in Cabo San Lucas.

2- Eva Langoria attended the wedding of her personal friends’ Alina Peralta and Manuel Gutierrez in Spain. She also served as a bridesmaid for her friend Bonnie Rodezno’s wedding. I guess it was to return the favor for when Bonnie served as a bridesmaid for Eva’s wedding with basketball player Tony Parker, who she divorced years later. Girls always stick together!

3- Lady Gaga becomes closely familiar to weddings as she plans her own (which we can’t wait for!) and still has time to serve at a New Orleanais wedding for one of her closest friends. She also served at a Cabo wedding for her best friend and former schoolmate, Bo O’Connor.

4- Our favorite former Disney star and newly Broadway star, Vanessa Hudgens, served at her “High School Musical” costar and close friend’s wedding, Ashley Tisdale.

5- We had a “The Hills” reunion at the wedding of Maura McManus where Lauren Conrad and Lo Bosworth attended, in which Conrad served as a lovely bridesmaid.

6- Sarah Jessica Parker served as a bridesmaid of her friend and former assistant, Melinda Relyea and James Kearns.

7- “Hunger Games” star, Jennifer Lawrence, served as a bridesmaid for her brother Blaine and her new sister-in-law, Carson Massler. It was a wedding that even Martha Stewart approved of.

8- Mila Kunis served as a bridesmaid for her brother’s wedding in St. Petersburg, Florida. Her date was her fiancé and former costar, Ashton Kutcher (another wedding we are so excited to see!)

9- Lena Dunham looked awesome in a grey bridesmaid dress for her best friend.

10- Rihanna was also a lovely bridesmaid for her own person assistant, Jennifer Rosales, who is like a big sister to the singer.

7 Celebrities Rocking Wavy Bobs For Short Hair

It has been the season of the LOB (long bob), but if you are getting ready to trim off the inches that have been thrashed by summer's sun, surf and chlorine, or you just want to change it up a little, here are seven fabulous celebrity wavy bob's for short hair to inspire you.

7 Celebrities Rocking Wavy Bobs For Short Hair

Lily Collins' center part opens and then her face so that her sensational eyebrows and lips can take center stage.
I love these big, fat waves on shorter bobs. 

Kate Mara ombre, wavy bob

Kate Mara's slightly off-center part draws attention to her fabulous ombre waves. The cut looks a little asymmetrical too. The two features combined make for a perfect look when you need a significant cut, and also want to grow out a shorter look.

Need to go even shorter? The color play on this short, wavy bob makes it much more interesting.
Creating an off center part and hooking the shorter side behind your ear opens up your face and helps you draw attention to your eyes.

If you have a square shaped face or a rectangular face, side swept bangs completely soften your full forehead.
The trick to making this bob work is to keep it choppy at the ends, and not blunt, and to drop the length below the jawline to stop your face looking more squared.
If you don't have a squared face shape this cut will still look gorgeous.

I don't think I have ever seen a bad haircut on Jessica Alba?
I love this for it's simplicity. It looks fresh and modern.

Charlize Theron Short Wavy Bob

Charlize Theron looks amazing no matter what - did you see her bald in Mad Max?? Stunning.
These soft, full, curly waves on her short bob are ultra feminine and pretty.

Brooklyn Decker wavy bob

Brooklyn Decker's long layers and choppy ends give the illusion that her hair is longer.
