Celebrity Makeup Fashion And Lifestyle During Awards Season

By Leslie Ball


When awards season hits our TV screens at home, it's important to recognize just how much work has gone into making each and every celebrity look like a star on the red carpet. Indeed, celebrities go to great lengths to look their best at this time of year. Doing this means whatever it takes to be on their A-game from top to bottom, as well as setting trends for the year ahead. Celebrity makeup fashion and lifestyle during this time is quite insane, and that's why we love watching it.

Gowns during this time of year are beyond extravagant, with some of the biggest names in designers being showcased on the red carpet. Designers get the most visibility from celebrities when they attend such shows. Couture gowns and trendsetting hair and makeup are a must for any celebrity wanting to get tongues wagging.

For a show like the Oscars, female celebrities will do everything from plastic surgery to botox injections in their feet to prepare. Having the perfect body for the cameras is a top priority. The right colours and tones in makeup and outfit choices can only enhance and flatter the body and there is a lot of pressure on celebrities to get it right.

A lot of preparation happens in the time leading up to an event. Some preparation happens weeks before while other preparation can be done just a few days in advance, like minimizing bloating. Celebrities also like to get a top up on their tans at this time, even though there are some stars who have paraded lovely porcelain skin on the red carpet.

Makeup artists are contracted to work some serious magic at this time of year. They use all sorts of tricks from highlighting and contouring to other quick fixes at the last minute to present the most beautiful face. Bronzing and shimmering are also on order as well as body makeup for last minute toning. Celebrities must also get proper waxing done, as well as shaping their brows and lengthening lashes.

Gowns by Chanel, Versace, Zac Posen and Elie Saab are all very popular on the red carpet, particularly at a major show like the Oscars. Celebrities may wear the outfits differently than how they were presented at runway shows. A starlet can look like a princess from a story book or she can be a total rock star in the exact same gown. It all comes down to styling.

Different types of awards show allow for different looks. The Oscars is the ultimate occasion to truly show off an haute couture look. Some stars opt to take risks on the red carpet, trying things to shock and awe, which could land them on worst dressed lists, but publicity is always good.

Having gorgeous skin for the lights and cameras is a must, and so, plastic surgery aside, celebrities do indulge in detoxes and cleanses to be at their best. While many have year-round routines to keep their skin glowing, juice cleanses are particularly popular at this time of year. Nothing is too outrageous when it comes to preparing for awards season, as a celebrity's body and face is her livelihood.
