There were so many confident, smart, and talented women at the 2016 Oscars. They also rocked some incredible beauty looks. Here are five looks that stood out and how to achieve them with my makeup at home:

Blackest Black Ink Liner

Wearing the ultimate nude palette on eyes, lips, and cheeks, contrasted by a standout black liner can be truly stunning:

1. Apply a shimmery bronze cream shadow like Beach Bronze Long-Wear Cream Shadow across the lids.
2. Draw liner on the top and bottom lashline. Add a subtle cat eye at the outer corners. Go with the blackest liner you can find like Black Ink Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner.
3. Open up eyes and create volume with a black mascara like Eye Opening Mascara
4. Create a subtle, luminous glow with a illuminating powder with a hint of color like Rose Retouching Powder.
5. Finish with a nude lip color. Try Almost Bare Luxe Lip Color with Brightening Lip Gloss

Classic Hollywood Pretty

Pairing a classic face with a pretty updo and striking earrings creates old Hollywood red carpet magic:

1. Start with Slate Long-Wear Cream Shadow applied across the lid and Grey Eye Shadow blended into the crease.
2. Smoke Saddle Eye Shadow along top and bottom lashline.
3. Draw a thin defined line of Espresso Ink Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner across the top lashline.
4. Apply Eye Opening Mascara on top lashes and Intensifying Long Wear Mascara on the lower lashline
5. Apply Pink Retouching Powder for an illuminating blush.
6. Fill in lips with a nude lip pencil like my Bare Art Stick followed by Crystal Lip Gloss.

3. Draw a thin defined line of Espresso Ink Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner across the top lashline.
