Maybe it was Billy Crystal. Maybe it was the Cirque de Soleil interlude. Or maybe it just that I settled in to watch the Oscars straight after OD’ing on cupcakes at a four-year-old’s birthday party. Whatever it was, last night made me verrry, verrry sleepy. Seriously, it’s a problem when the main show highlights are J.Lo’s nip-slip (follow on Twitter: @JLosNipple) and Angelina’s leg (@AngiesRightLeg).
Thankfully, there was plenty of exciting beauty action on the pre-game red carpet, so I didn’t feel guilty bailing on the dullsville show itself. (Okay, there was fashion action too, but I don’t pretend to know anything about that… so remember that I’m only talking about hair and makeup here!)

Here we go! It’s your GG beauty coverage—and my goodness, there are a lot of celebs to view and discuss! (Um, 25, to be exact.)
My overall observation? There was a lot more experimentation going on with the hair than the makeup. And of course, as is the case with every awards show, a whole bunch of celebs stuck with the can’t-go-wrong updo and nude makeup combo. It’s boring for beauty editors, but it works.
Shall we do something different this time and start with my least favourite looks first? (You know, the automatic ABORT ABORT ABORTs.) Then, we’ll talk about the mushy middle, and finally get to my favourites of the night. Let’s dig in! Keep reading »
