As previously discussed, watching award shows is really about admiring the dresses and beauty trends for me. So many stunning looks! It’s a little sad to follow Twitter on award nights due to the overwhelming criticisms of how celebrities looked. There are misses, to be sure, but in the grand scheme of things red carpets bring out the glamour in almost everyone. These are Daily Makeover’s Best Oscars 2010 Hairstyles and Beauty Trends:
Last night, Awards Season culminated in the red carpet moment of the year, the 2010 Oscars. From Twilight-pale beauties (yay for embracing copy-paper white complexions and eschewing the ubiquitous orange spray tan) to Veronica Lake wavy hairstyles and lashes for days, five celebrity hairstyle and makeup looks in particular blew our hair back.

Best Actress winner Sandra Bullock wore a sleek, strong side-parted hairstyle that brought out the reflective shine of her brunette locks. The ends of her hair were softly waved for a bit of oomph. Pinky-red lips, a defined brow and dramatic lashes rounded out the look.

Kate Winslet channeled Old Hollywood glamor perfectly with her lightened blonde hairstyle. Peach-pink lipstick and blush complimented her sexy-than-usual hairstyle. Mauve eyeshadow enhanced by major lashes complete the effect. We’re loving Kate’s unexpected turn from her typical demure beauty look.

Zoe Saldana was, once again, a red carpet favorite with her volumized updo hairstyle and smokey eye and nude lip combination. Zoe’s simple, yet elegant drop diamond earrings add a sense of occasion to her subtly elegant hairstyle and makeup. Tight, close-to-the-lashes black liner and a glossed up lip make this beauty look infinitely wearable.

Cameron Diaz brought her beauty A-game this time. No stranger to a red lip, this time Cameron paired hers with a bouncy waved hairstyle pulled over to one shoulder and minimal eye makeup, save for a flirty fringe of lashes.Softly pink cheeks warm up this fun and flirty Oscar look.
Rachel McAdams

Rachel McAdams can always be counted on to bring the beauty. This season, Rachel sparkled in watercolor-inspired pink eyeshadow that was tempered with a touch of slate shadow near the inner corners of the eye. Rachel even commissioned her sister, makeup artist Kayleen McAdams to create her makeup look. An updo hairstyle with ample volume at the roots completed the look.
Which look was your favorite? They are all stunning but Sandra was my favorite with Rachel a close second.

Wow, wasn’t Sandra Bullock just amazing?! We loved her skin, too.
We’ve read criticism about her choice of lip color. Since you’re an expert, what did you think about it?
I actually loved her lip color but to be honest, I couldn’t find a picture that captured the red I saw on her as she sat in the audience. All of the red carpet images have the color looking fuchsia (perhaps the flash?) and some the shots had it looking more brick toned. Watch the video of when she is still sitting w/ Jesse after her name was announced….THAT was the color I loved on her
If you follow the link above to Saks Fifth Ave, the swatch of the lip color is a closer to brick but a bit more red. (Paris #22).
I think Sandra’s neutral toned dress and sleek hair required a bold lip color. She looked fab!
Rachel was very pretty. I loved her dress, too.
We love Sandra’s sleek and beautiful hair! She looks so glamorous and sparkling.
