The Green Spa’s Oscar Buzz

Last night at the Oscars “The Dallas Buyers Club” took home the Oscar for make-up. At the Green Spa we make make-up our business. We have celebrity make-up artists on staff to create custom looks for day, night and anything in between. Let’s take a look at the trends set by the stars!

Jennifer Lawrence really captured The Green Spa vibe. Her matte foundation and powder sets the tone for a dewy, fresh look that makes it impossible to ever imagine she sweats. Our mineral make-up accomplishes the same goals whether you’re looking for minimal or maximum coverage. The point is to look natural. Also, we’re seeing a tend with Jennifer’s lipstick choice, a slightly darker tone than her real lip color. We applaud her and her artist for claiming the natural look and daring to turn what’s considered day make-up into a red carpet look.

Emma Watson went the opposite way, bucking the natural trend with a more traditional nighttime look. Her dramatic lips work with the more neutral tones on her eyes. It’s the perfect reminder that if you go big somewhere, tone down the rest. Emma’s lips can best be accomplished by first using red lipliner not only around the outer creases of the lips, but over the entire lip. Essentially you’re using liner as a base before you put your lipstick on.

We loved Olivia Wilde’s look! Staying on-trend, she went out with a nude lip, and went daring with the 1960’s style cat eyes. The only look like that of the evening! The perfect combo of vintage meets trend.
