Let’s just say things get a little crazy in this town around Oscar week! The roads seem to be extra congested, there are parties galore and of course you want to shine as bright as an Oscar itself! It doesn’t matter if you live in Hollywood or not, it’s fun to actually get dressed up and embrace the Oscars. You guys all know by now how much I love a dramatic look, and for me, I wouldn’t feel glamorous if I didn’t wear BOLD, red lips. I feel the key to nailing a cocktail hour (or hours) look, is to make sure your skin is perfectly highlighted from head to toe. So first things first. The best way to apply your highlighter is with the perfect brush. I am lucky enough to have received this Alexis Bittar brush as a gift for Valentine’s Day. This gem of a brush is the perfect synthetic hair powder brush and is 24 karat plated and adorned with Swarovski crystals. This brush is so amazing that it even comes with it’s own black velvet and gold case. It’s the perfect brush to use with your setting powder, or in this case, a highlighting powder. Since I really wanted to amplify my look and make sure my skin is super reflective and polished, I applied my favorite highlighter by Dolce & Gabbana in a hue called Eva. I lightly dusted the powder across my entire face and concentrated on my temples, the bridge of my nose and right below the corners of my eyes. Eva has the perfect pearlescent finish that makes your skin look as though it’s glowing from within. It is not at all glittery, which is one of the hardest things about finding a great highlighter. This makeup also photographs beautifully. With your skin shining so bright, everyone will want to know your name. You might want to start preparing your speech now- And the Oscar goes to…..You!
