Oscars 2014: Our Best Beauty Looks

Images from Grazia

With the Oscars comes the most beautiful dresses and fabulous hair and make-up. Here in the Face Matters office, after many arguments, we've chosen our top three looks from the night.

Jessica Biel looks elegant with her make-up kept quite natural with a pale pink lip... but the best bit about this look is her hair! Elegantly swept to the side over the shoulder with a slight curl - not only was Jessica seen with this hair style, it was a firm favourite among other stars including Sandra Bullock and Kate Hudson.

Naomi Watts gives her look a slight edge with her straight locks swept back giving her hair a laid-back feel and the pop of colour on her lips. She works this well as everything is kept quite simple but the pop of red gives the look definition.

And finally, Cate Blanchett. She looks utterly flawless with her natural make-up - which is a huge beauty trend at the moment. Her hair side parted and styled perfectly in a classic wave. Her overall look gets a huge thumbs up from us here at the team... pure glamour!

A Pop of Colour

One of the beauty trends this year is to keep your make-up natural and fresh with a pop of colour on the lips... definitely something everyone can work. 

Keeping your base make-up looking natural is key, the term less is more applies. Heavy foundations don't work for this look, as you don't want a 'cakey' look, choose a lightweight foundation or BB cream.

Your eyes will only need a brush of mascara to keep your lashes looking natural yet more defined. Choosing a brown mascara can create a softer look. 

It's all about the lips, whether you choose orange, purple, red or pink... it's about being bright! This flash of colour will brighten up your look and make it look like you've spent hours getting ready when it's only taken you a matter of minutes.

Will you be trying out this beauty trend?

Happy New Year!
