Oscars night is arguably the most special event in all of Hollywood. The star-studded awards show is one of the most sought-after invites and extravagant evenings for fashion and beauty. Sunday night was no exception to that rule.
The women at the Academy Awards went all out and left us speechless before the awards ceremony even began. From shimmery eyes to elegant top knots to wigs as high as the sky, last night's beauty looks were nothing short of revelatory.
Ahead, check out 10 of our favorites. These ladies made it an evening to remember.
Awkwafina
Awkwafina gave us all the the life we needed last night with this disheveled yet elegant look. Mai Quyhn created the look using all Giorgio Armani Beauty products.
She started by prepping skin with Kiehl’s Calendula & Aloe Soothing Hydration Masque. She applied Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation in 5.75 using a damp Beautyblender sponge. For her cheeks, Quynh applied Giorgio Armani Neo Nude A-Blush in 50 to the apples of her cheeks. The blush left her cheeks glowing and dewy, while adding a natural, rosy hue.
Next she added Giorgio Armani Neo Nude A-Highlight in 10 above her cheekbones for a highlighting effect. For the eyes, Quynh used Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill Eye Quattro Eye Shadow in 4, and finished the look with Giorgio Armani Lip Magnet Liquid Lipstick in 508.
Regina King
The dazzling Academy Award–winning actress looked like an actual angel last night while celebrating her Best Supporting Actress win for If Beale Street Could Talk. She kept her look simple with a tousled lob and a dramatic eye featuring KISS Lash Couture Naked Drama Collection in Tulle. The look was created by celebrity makeup artist Latrice Johnson.
Jennifer Lopez
Celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton is responsible for J. Lo's near-perfect hairdo. He revealed his entire process for the style in a press release that reads as follows:
"I blow-dried it straight using the ghd air hair dryer and ghd paddle brush. Next, I put her hair in a side part and then used the ghd curve soft curl iron to curl the hair but leaving the roots flat. Then, I sprayed the Color Wow Cult Favorite Firm + Flexible Hairspray and brushed it through her hair for a controlled wave. I used the ghd curve soft curl iron on the top of her hair to create a sleek sculpted look. I finished it all off with the Color Wow Pop & Lock Gloss Treatment for shine."
Priyanka Chopra
The newlywed arrived at the Oscars Vanity Fair Party rocking a face full of Jill Stuart Beauty thanks to makeup artist Pati Dubroff.
"First, I gently filled in brows with JILL STUART Beauty Airy Stay Brow Liner (03), and use Jill Stuart Beauty Iconic Look Eye Shadow (C204) along the crease to create depth with a warm skin-like tone," she said in a press release. "This was an essential part to her eyes, as this creamy, bronzy copper color allowed the shade of the dark eye to harmonize with her skin tone. Black can sometimes make those with darker skin tones look a bit gray, and this helped the lid have a nice base wash to build on."
Shangela
The RuPaul's Drag Race favorite was the star of the show and the red carpet last night. With a wig teased high as the heavens, Shangela held no drama back for the star-studded evening. She donned a dramatic cut crease with heavy white underliner, false lashes that could kill a man, and a sick contour.
Lupita Nyong'o
Makeup artist Nick Barose got Nyong'o Oscar-ready using Lancôme products.
“For the Academy Awards, Lupita’s white feathery dress called for a feminine and flirty look," he said in a press release. "I did so by playing up the look with pearlized eyes, flirty lashes, and matte raspberry tone lips. The key was mixing metallic pearl-toned eye shadows and placing lashes on the outer corners to make the look party-ready."
Barose prepped the skin with Lancôme Absolue Revitalizing & Brightening Soft Cream on the face and neck before applying Teint Idole Ultra 24H Long Wear Foundation in 550 on the face. On the eyes, Barose used the Starlight Sparkle Eyeshadow Palette and Color Design Starlight Sparkle Eye Shadow Palette with a damp brush.
Emma Stone
We can always count on Stone to keep it classic. With her sleek, low bun and minimal makeup look with a heavy brown liner, she let her elaborate dress do all the talking. What she also kept simple was her nails (not pictured here), which were created using OPI.
Nail technician Emi Kudo started by applying OPI Infinite Shine ProStay Primer to nails. Next, she polished the nails with two coats of OPI Infinite Shine in The Beige of Reason for a sheer, rosy, light beige color. She finished the nail with OPI Infinite Shine ProStay Gloss.
Lady Gaga
For the 2019 Academy Awards, Sarah Tanno used Marc Jacobs Beauty to create Lady Gaga’s makeup look featured a simple and classic eye, nude lip, and glowing skin.
For the eyes, Tanno used her new go-to, Eye-Conic Multi-Finish Eye Shadow Palette in Steel(etto), and applied the neutral shades to gently shape the eye; she followed with the Velvet Noir Major Volume Mascara. For the lips, Tanno applied Le Marc Lip Crème Lipstick in Slow Burn, a creamy rose-nude shade, and tapped it into the lips so you could still see their natural texture.
“Her makeup was all about being soft, fresh, and young. We didn’t want anything to distract from this special moment,” she said in a press statement.
Laura Harrier
As if the BlacKkKlansman star really has to do anything to look like a million bucks. Harrier arrived with an undone top knot and a light gray smoky eye. To top off the look, she donned a berry-hued lipstick that was lightly applied.
Dove Cameron
The budding star walked the red carpet looking like a real-life doll. Melissa Hernandez created the minimalistic look using Charlotte Tilbury and Nanacoco Beauty.
"I started off Dove’s look using Nanacoco's gorgeous Airfair Brushes, which are launching next month!" Hernandez said in a press release. "Using the Airfair Liquid Foundation Brush, I applied Tilbury's Light Wonder Foundation to Dove’s face for a flawless look. For a glossy effect, I wanted to try something fun – I applied a wash of Nanacoco’s Shimmertallics Metallic lip gloss in Frosted Glaze onto Dove’s lids. It’s a really pretty, almost snow color, perfect to make Dove’s blue eyes pop. It was simple but impactful. To complete the eyes, I then applied a coat of Outlash Dramatic Length Mascara."
