Sandra Bullock - Winner Of Best Actress In A Leading Role - Oscars 2010 - Get The Look
Sandra Bullock has just had one of the best weekends of her career, by first turning up at the Golden Raspberry Awards (the Razzies) to accept her award for the Worst Actress for her role in All About Steve, where she handed out free copies of her movie in a delightfully comic way before accepting her Oscar for the Best Actress in a Leading Role with an endearing, but slightly batty speech for her part in The Blind Side. SB is an actress that we all seem to have grown up with (who remembers her in Speed and While You Were Sleeping?) and unbelievably, looking at this picture, she turned 45 last year. She looks amazing in this Marchesa silver gown with straight, sleek locks and classic Hollywood makeup, and if you want to create this style yourself here is how Sandra (or her makeup artist - Angela Levin) did it on the night.
The products Angela used on Sandra were:
- Chanel Hydramax + Active Cream
- Chanel Vitalumiere Satin Smoothing Fluid Makeup in Gentle Ivory
- Chanel Eyeshadow Irreelle Duo Brun Express
- Chanel Inimitable Waterproof Mascara in Noir
- Chanel Tweed Blush Duo in Tweed Rose
- Chanel Rouge Coco Lip Colour in Paris
The look can be created easily below:
- Prep the skin with Hydramax + Active Cream or a similar rich moisturiser which ensures there are no dry areas.
- Using a foundation brush apply Chanel Vitalumiere Satin Smoothing Fluid Makeup in Gentle Ivory all over the face. Using a foundation brush ensures a perfect, almost doll like finish, perfect for this Hollywood look.
- Create quite a strong and structured browline using an eyeshadow brush and the soft brown powder in the Irreelle Duo Brun Express. Using shadow creates strong brows, but it is easier to get a smoother effect than when using a brow pencil.
- Again, use the darker shadow around the eyes on both upper and lower lids, blending across the upper lid. Use the lighter shade in the palette over the brow blending into the darker shade on the eyelid.
- Apply two strong coats of Chanel Inimitable Waterproof Mascara in Noir for real glamorous Hollywood starlet lashes.
- Using a lip brush apply the Rouge Coco Lip Colour in the shade Paris. Take note, all girls obsessed with lip glosses, Chanel has just launched a new campaign (with Vanessa Paradis) promoting the benefits and feel good factor of a glamorous lipstick colour - such a great way to brighten up your look with minimal spend in these credit-crunch times.
- Last of all apply the Chanel Tweed Rose blusher to the apples of the cheeks.
- Sandra's hair was finished in a sleek style by hairdresser Adir Abergel using Fekkai products, but you can do this yourself, by creating a strong side parting and then using straighteners and adding a soft, modern wave to the ends of the hair.
- Sandra's Marchesa silver embroidered dress is amazing, and best of all Marchesa are British designers. Unless you can afford their gowns, a similar look would be a lace or embroidered cream evening dress which is just perfect for summer parties.
