My Favourite Makeup Looks from the 2016 Oscars

Hi, everyone! I've just returned from a long weekend home with my family, which was a wonderfully relaxing time (aside from chasing around my busy, active, adorable niece!). We capped off the visit by watching the Academy Awards on Sunday night- an event that always reignites my interest in film as well as sparks some serious makeup inspiration. I'm all about old Hollywood glamour, but my favourite looks are usually those that are a bit different. Rebellious, colourful, and sultry looks always catch my eye!

Here are my picks for the best makeup looks at the 2016 Oscars.

Rooney Mara

She can do no wrong in my books. I've been smitten with Rooney Mara since The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and her beauty looks never disappoint. They are always incredibly fierce! I totally loved these smokey taupe eyes and bold blood red lips.

Olivia Munn

We all know I love a bold orange/coral lip, so it's no surprise that this look caught my attention! I also liked the fresh tangerine blush and the fact that her brows looked perfectly groomed and natural, not overdone.

Saoirse Ronan

Saoirse's smokey silver eyes were totally mesmerizing. They looked lovely paired with the classic nude lip and stunning green jewelry. Her natural skin and brows really let the eyes steal the show!

Rachel McAdams

I loved the lush, jewel-toned green of Rachel's dress and, even more, the matching green eyeliner and shadow she sported. So pretty! The eyes really popped when paired with the nude pink cheeks and lips.

Margot Robbie

I love that this look somehow made bare nude shades look edgy and a bit rock and roll. Paired with lush lashes and perfectly undone hair, Margot totally killed this look!

Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga's musical performance might have been the highlight of the evening- it was so beautifully touching. Her makeup look totally mirrored the soft, yet powerful feel of the song. She was rose gold perfection!

Reese Witherspoon

We all know I'm a sucker for rosy red lips and cheeks, and Reese's look embodied this perfectly! I am properly obsessed with her bold, healthy flush (reportedly created using Chantecaille products) and shiny just-bitten lips. *Swoons*
