Oscar's 2016 | Olivia Munn Inspired: Get The Look

The Academy Awards had some fantastic looks; dramatic bold lips, soft romantic eyes, and glowing soft skin. One of my absolute favorites for the night was Olivia Munn's glowing, soft tangerine look. The whole look is so effortless. Her look really focuses on:

- Soft, luminous glowing skin, light foundation
- Orange/tangerine tones on the cheek and lips
-Simple, diffused eye makeup with soft browns and bold lashes
-Groomed, "imperfect" brows that aren't overly done

I love the "lightness" of the whole look, from the foundation to the soft eye makeup. This is such an easy look to re-create, I knew I had to play around!

1. Create a super luminous base 

2. Use a light hand with foundation and blend well with a sponge 

3. Use ALL cream products to keep things light and dewy, lightly highlight and contour

4. Only set under eyes and lids to avoid creasing

5. Add a cream blush 

6. Use a bronze, warm brown shade to lightly shade crease and lower waterline.


7. Run a small amount of black eyeliner along the upper lashline, smoke it out so it is soft and there are no harsh lines.

9. Run a small amount of eyebrow pencil to fill in sparse areas and groom brows

Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector || Review

Becca is known for their beautiful highlighters in multiple formats. This formulation, the original Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector, is a creamy, whipped liquid that gives a beautiful subtle, fresh glow. The micro-fine particles allow you to achieve a beautiful luminous glow without any chunky, brash glitter. 


Besides the subtleness of this highlighter, one of the major benefits of this product is the multitude of uses. It can be used as a dewy primer to give an all over glow to the face, to spot highlight for the high points of the face, decolletage, legs, etc. or my favorite, mixed in to foundations or lotions to give any products instant sheen. 



While this is a pricier product, the amount and versatility of this product make it a worth-while splurge. The perfector liquid comes in a variety of shades for all skin tones: Pearl (white with silver) Moonstone (pale gold), Opal (golden opal pearl), Topaz (golden bronze pearl), and Rose Gold (golden rosy pink). 


The shade shown above is in Pearl. 


As shown above, pearl is mixed in with a favorite foundation to provide a healthy, fresh looking glow. It's natural but still softens the skin. I highly recommend this product for a fresh, dewy finish.
