Beauty Recipe: Anna Kendrick’s rosy Oscars look

We loved Anna Kendrick’s dreamy, delicate look at the 82nd Oscars in her pink Elie Saab gown. Her hair and makeup were very romantic too, with her hair tied up in wispy, soft tendrils and natural-looking, rosy makeup. Wondering how to recreate it for your own romantic purposes? You’re in luck. We caught up with makeup artist Sara Glick, who created Anna’s Oscars look. Here’s the lowdown.

Inspirations:
Ethereal, natural, young, fresh, soft, light

Beauty Ingredients:
Arcona Triad Pads
Arcona Magic White Ice gel moisturizer
Arcona Lavender Hydrasol spritz
Temptu Retouch highlighter in Champagne Shimmer
Tarte Eco Cheek
Tarte LipSurgence natural lip stains in Charmed
Tarte lip gloss in Samantha
Dior 5 Couleurs eye shadow palette in Sunset Café
Dior DiorShow Unlimited mascara in Black

The Recipe:

“Starting with her skin, I first removed any impurities and left-over makeup with Arcona Triad Pads. They are great because they cleanse, tone and hydrate the skin. I then used Arcona’s Magic White Ice gel moisturizer. It is light, doesn’t clog pores and protects against environmental damage. Anna has amazing youthful, flawless skin, so it is all about revealing her natural beauty. I used Temptu Retouch highlighter in Champagne Shimmer to highlight her best quality – her flawless skin.

I wanted to use her natural beauty and lightness so I accented the apples of her cheeks with Tarte Eco Cheek by dabbing and blending with my fingertips. I like to use products with natural ingredients so this cheek stain is great.

For lips, I used Tarte’s LipSurgence natural lip stain in Charmed as the base and then added Samantha, a pale cotton candy pink gloss on top. I wanted to create a soft, healthy lip with a touch of shine.

Because we didn’t want to overpower the radiance of Anna’s complexion and youthfulness, we decided to use more neutral colors for the eye. I really love Dior’s 5 Couleurs eye shadow palette in Sunset Café. Again, we kept it very soft with bronze undertones. I completed the look with DiorShow Unlimited in Black.

To finish everything, I spritzed her face with the Lavender Hydrasol to seal in moisture and to leave a fresh, glowing radiance.”
