The Oscars are all about the glitz and the glam. From long regal dresses to beautiful curls and updo’s, each year celebrities step out in their best.
Wondering what celebrity makeup artists are predicting to be the biggest trends on the red carpet? Celebrity makeup artist Christopher Drummond, who recently attended the pre-Oscar party at the Beverly Wilshire, has sent in his top trends for the Oscars. Christopher has worked with Jennifer Lopez, Kimora Lee Simmons, Paula Patton and January Jones and has worked on fashion shows, award shows and photoshoots. At the pre-Oscar party on Wednesday night, Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol Palin sought out Christopher to have her makeup touched up. Here are Christopher’s predictions for Sunday night:
- Eyes: Of course, the smoky look will be big as it always is for the red carpet. It is the “go to” look for celebrities when they want to look glamorous and dramatic. However, this year, I predict the smoky look will be accented with a lot of shimmery metals: bronze, gold, and silver. Also on the eyes: a focus on luxurious lashes and liner focused on the top on the eyes.
- Color: Will also be predominant on the eyes – but not heavy color. Light, whimsical shades such as pale blue, lavender and peach will all be used generously.
- Skin: Skin will be a main component of the overall look for celebrities. It’s always a pre-requisite for celebrities to have glowing radiant skin, and the Oscars are certainly no exception. Luminizers and shimmer will be used on the eyes and cheeks to help emphasize that “healthy” look.
- Lips: There will be two looks: Matte, bright red or nude and glossy. Peach lips will also be a part of the look for many. Peach is always a great “go to” color for makeup artists as it works with a variety of skin tones.
What makeup trends are you looking forward to?

Many people (especially teens!) are not aware of the effects of make-up used past its prime, a “Period after Opening” date (mandated in Europe not in the USA) or that common permanent markers are not resistant to oil and shouldn’t be used to mark-up products. I actually started a company that address this problem by using self laminating labels to protect the date from water and oils (common permanent markers are not resistant to oils found in creams and makeup – if not protected, date rubs off).
The Once Opened Beauty Expiration Kit provides 24 attractive self-laminating labels in a pretty pink organza bag, nifty ultra fine point permanent marker and Beauty Life Expectancy Guide to “Mark-Up Your Make-Up” with date product is opened to prevent using make-up past its prime and risking the spread of bacteria.

P.S. Make-up used after it has gone bad, not only risks infection but jeopardizes your good looks!
