Free And For Me

Last Sunday, the most elegant looks came out on the red carpet for the Oscars! The superstars looked fabulous with luxurious lashes and captivating ‘dos to smoky shadow. Kerry Washington and Rooney Mara modeled their glamorous Oscars’ looks with natural and rule breaking beauty!

You  can recreate these head turning makeup looks with the below tips! Both of the looks can be recreated using Younique’s top-selling product Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes+, which sells at least one unit every 10 seconds* and increases lash volume by up to 400 percent.

Kerry Washington
The look: Naturally beautiful with a mohawk styled ponytail

Skin:
Naturally highlight glowing skin by using Younique Refreshed Rose Water, SRP: $29, to add hydration and subtract redness and oil!

Makeup:
Get Kerry’s smoky eye by using various shades of brown shimmer eyeshadows. Use black eyeliner on the inner rim of the eye and on the eyelid to fully outline the eye for drama!

Take lashes to the next level by applying two coats of Younique Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes+, SRP: $29. First, apply an even coat of the Transplanting Gel to the lashes. Immediately apply a layer of Fibers over the Transplanting Gel. Seal the fibers by applying one more coat of the Transplanting Gel.

Finishing the look: Keep lips natural by adding a clear gloss (try Younique Lucrative Lip Gloss in Loyal, SRP: $15) for shine!

Hair:
Create a tousled ponytail by adding volume straight from the root. Take loose wisps in the front of head and spray with hairspray first. Sweep hair back loosely on the front and tight on the sides to add interest from the front. For maximum hold, apply extra hairspray to hair (try Thicker Fuller Hair Weightless Volumizing Hairspray SRP: $4.99)!

Rooney Mara
The look: Powerful makeup and a shiny, knotted hairstyle

Skin:
Rooney’s look is beautifully futuristic. Apply a face and eye primer for glowing skin that will stay porcelain-perfect all day long!

Makeup:
Use a nice neutral eyeshadow palette to create warm, smoky brown lids (Try Younique Moodstruck Addiction Shadow Palette 1, SRP: $49). Amp up lashes by applying a few coats of Younique Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes+, SRP: $29.

Create striking brows by using a precision brow liner pencil Younique Moodstruck Precision Brow Liner, SRP: $19. Then, to create the appearance of thick brows, brush on Younique Moodstruck Precision Brow Gel, SRP: $19 which contains buildable fibers, similar to the Younique Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes+.

Apply a soft blush on the cheekbones to obtain a windy winter glow. (Try Younique Moodstruck Minerals Pressed Blusher in Sweet, SRP: $29).

Finishing the look:
For the eye-catching two toned lips, first line lips with a deep red shade then apply a crimson red lipstick to both lips. (Try Younique Moodstruck Precision Pencil Lip Liner in Primal, SRP: $15 and Younique Moodstruck Opulence Lipstick in Stinkin’ Rich, SRP: $19).

Hair:
For this slick, triple bun style, start by using a comb to divide hair into a series of severe parts. Use an elastic band to tie the top hair into a ponytail and proceed to include the hair into the next layers ponytail. For the third and last part, twist hair around finger until it coils up. Use bobby pins to secure hair in a low knotted bun. For extra hold and shine, use a lightweight gel to keep hair in place night (Try La Bella Max Hold Styling Gel, SRP: $2.59).

I cannot wait to try these products on myself.  I will be sharing my Oscar look in a couple of weeks on Instagram @keke_dixon.
