Hello Gorgeous!
The 84th Annual Oscars are on this Sunday February 26th.
*Sigh* I would like Billy Crystals job, or at least to co-host with him? I can't do it this Sunday because I'm already booked. Though next year-I can pencil in the gig!

The celebrities who are going to be on the red carpet for the 84th Annual Oscars have already booked their favorite hair and makeup artists teams. In fact, they were booked well in advance of the show.

Though if you are going to be on the red carpet I have a few tips for you to look your absolute most radiant and best.





3 simple tips to getting red carpet ready are:

A. Have a well hydrated self from the inside and out:
drink your water and make sure that your face, hands, neck and decollete are all moisturized. Keep a can of misting water close by too! Just before you put your makeup on: mist. As soon as you finish your makeup, mist!

B. Focus on one area:
choose either dramatic eyes, or dramatic lips but don't do both because it can be too over powering and messy looking. A classic smokey eye updated in colors-like a smokey green, or smokey purple. Remember, smokey is the technique more than the color.

If it's all about the bold lip color-then update it with a bold coral, bright raspberry or deep purple. Just keep the eyes in a simple matching liner with a coat of mascara and you'll look gorgeous.

C. You need some major underwear for the red carpet: now is the time to invest in great underwear/lingerie. Don't splurge on dress, shoes and handbag and not on lingerie.
You need a girdle, or long bra, or tight shapewear to push all your bumps and bulges into one smooth and seamless figure to look great in the dress.

Note: makeup only looks good on good skin-so take care of the skin first and worry about the makeup second.

Other note: the dress only looks as good as the figure-so plan your undergarments before you plan your dress! An expensive designer gown on bumps won't look so hot. Though an off the rack on a rockin' figure will be a red carpet photo opportunity!
