Revlon Recreates Red Carpet Beauty; Get the Gorgeous Beauty Looks Worn By The Stars

Revlon recreates the star-studded beauty looks seen on the red carpet at the 76th Academy Awards with the brand's latest and greatest beauty innovations. No one knows the glamour of Hollywood better than Revlon so, this year the leading cosmetics company went behind the scenes to uncover celebrity beauty tips-and-tricks about how to create the beauty looks that turned heads on the red carpet. Lights, camera, action!

The Fresh Faced Beauty - The red carpet was lined with Hollywood's busiest actresses, several of whom chose a fresh-faced beauty look that allows their natural beauty to shine through. The trademark of this look is luminous, milky skin, radiant against the gleam of a shimmering designer dress. This look represents 'effortless beauty' and can be created with hints of soft colors on lips, cheeks and eyes.

FACE - For women with schedules as busy as a Hollywood actress, perfect-looking skin on the go is a must! Try Revlon New Complexion One-Step Compact Makeup in Ivory Beige, a foundation and powder that provides beautiful, natural looking coverage in one quick step.

CHEEKS - To highlight cheekbones with a sweep of flush color, apply Revlon Powder Blush in Softspoken Pink on apples of cheeks.

EYES - To create an alluring eye look for a special occasion, use Revlon Eyeglide Shimmer Shadow in Charcoal all over lids as a shimmering backdrop against gorgeous eye color. For a hint of drama, apply a thin line of ColorStay Liquid Liner in Black to top lash line. Finish with a quick coat of Revlon Lash Fantasy Mascara in Black.

LIPS - For a soft, natural lip with a hint of rosy color that will last all night long, apply Revlon ColorStay Overtime Lipcolor in Keep Blushing - a two-step product featuring long-wearing color on one end and a shiny, moisturizing topcoat on the other.

The Golden Girl Beauty Look - This sultry beauty look begins with a luminous, golden sheen on skin that it looks as though it was touched by the sun. A makeup artist trick of the trade to get 'sun-kissed skin' is to apply a bronzer on the apples of cheeks, forehead and chin for a natural glow. To make this sultry, golden girl, almost-ethereal look come to life, create smoldering eyes that are complimented by soft, nude lips.

FACE - For sun-kissed radiance, sweep Revlon New Complexion Bronzing Powder in Sun all over face and decolletage. For added golden glow, gently tap Revlon Eyeglide Shimmer Shadow in Champagne on cheekbones and on brow bone as a highlighter.

EYES - The focal point of this beauty look is a smoky eye created with deep browns and camel hues. Blend two shades of Revlon Eyeglide Shimmer Shadow in Toffee and Mocha to give eyes a soft definition. To make them really pop, apply Revlon High Dimension Eyeliner in Bronze Flash and Gold Flash along the top and bottom lash lines. Finish with two coats of Revlon Lash Fantasy Mascara in Black.

LIPS - Though beguiling eyes were the centerpieces of this beauty look, plump, full lips should be soft and played up with a luscious hint of shine. For a nude lip with subtle shimmer, try a neutral gloss like Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Shine City.

The Classic Hollywood Beauty - A classic Hollywood look reminiscent of the Hollywood glamour girls of yesteryear is timeless and perfect for any special occasion. This classic, polished face is one in which a woman's features take center stage. Skin is creamy and flawless, eyes are softly nude and a bold, sexy red lip says 'notice me!'

FACE - Begin with Revlon ColorStay Stay Natural Makeup, a longwearing foundation that offers a comfortable feel and a lightweight, fresh look. Finish by applying Revlon ColorStay Stay Natural Powder - a micro-milled powder that creates a smooth, flawless finish and lasts for hours.

CHEEKS - For a soft, sheer natural blush of color on cheeks, try the new Revlon Cream Blush in Not So Nude.

EYES - The centerpiece of this beauty look is a bold mouth, which calls for softer, lighter eyes. Apply Revlon Illuminance Creme Shadow in Not Just Nudes to give eyes subtle shimmer and highlights. Along the lash line, apply a thin line of ColorStay Liquid Liner in Black. To finish framing the eyes, use one coat of Revlon Lash Fantasy Mascara in Black.

LIPS - Lips made a confident, sexy statement, completing this timeless look. Try Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Revlon Red for a gorgeous pout that will get you all the attention.
