Every golden Oscar statue has been handed out, which means this awards season is officially over. Countless unforgettable beauty moments occurred throughout the awards show circuit (Zendaya’s engagement mani! Emma Stone’s pixie cut! Nicole Kidman’s high pony! Taylor’s “T” thigh chain!) that it’s no surprise I’m not quite ready to let the glamour go. Instead, I’m diving deep into the beauty brands that made the jaw-dropping beauty happen. Scroll on for the brands that ruled this awards season, some well-deserved honorable mentions and which celebs wore what.
CHANEL
No surprise here; celebrities of all ages donned CHANEL beauty over multiple awards shows. At the 97th annual Academy Awards, several stars wore CHANEL Joues Contraste Intense Cream-to-Powder Blush ($55), a velvety blush with staying power. Halle Berry and Lupita Nyong’o both wore the shade Grenat Profond, a rich berry hue. (Berry used it on both her cheeks and in the crease of her eyelids.) Margaret Qualley wore “a hint” of the shade Rose Radiant, a soft, warm rose, on the apple of her cheeks for “a flushed, fresh-faced look.” Actress Emily Mortimer wore the shade Beige Éclatant, a soft beige that our editor described as the “perfect pick” for a soft glow and natural-looking glam.
At the Grammy Awards, singer and songwriter Gracie Abrams made the case for bridal beauty on the red carpet. The nominee opted for an angelic ensemble, complete with a silky butter veil, courtesy of, you guessed it, CHANEL. Her complementary “silk ballerina nails” (created by celebrity nail artist Betina R. Goldstein) included every bride-to-be and bride’s favorite nail polish: CHANEL Le Vernis in Ballerina ($32). (If the polish sounds familiar, it’s thanks to another Grammy-nominated musician: Selena Gomez. The Rare Beauty founder wore a simple swipe of the pale pink polish when she proudly revealed her engagement to producer and songwriter Benny Blanco.)
On the Golden Globes red carpet, three Hollywood A-listers wore CHANEL makeup under $50: Rouge Coco Baume Shine ($48). Keira Knightley and Quinta Brunson matched their shiny beaded gowns with Rouge Coco Baume Shine in the shade Honey Bliss, a barely-there, light-reflecting peachy brown. Tilda Swinton wore CHANEL Rouge Coco Baume Shine in Blushing Pink, a fresh bubblegum hue “reminiscent of springtime.”
REVLON
Coco Jones, Madelyn Cline and Camila Cabello attended the Vanity Fair Oscar Party wearing a full face of Revlon makeup. All three wore the Glimmer Brightening Concealer ($10; in shades 115, 145 and 115, respectively) and ColorStay Lash Serum + Liquid Liner ($10) in 001 Blackest Black. Other REVLON products used included ColorStay Grip Matte Primer ($14.50), Glimmer Blush Drops ($10.50; in 102 Pink Over it and 101 Coralicious), ColorStay Full Time Mascara ($10) and ColorStay 24HR Longwear Makeup ($16). (Cabello wore shades 300 Golden Beige and 330 Natural Tan, while Jones combined 440 Mahogany and 600 Cinnamon.)
Moroccanoil
Moroccanoil represented the strands of Demi Moore, Tate McRae, Amanda Peet, Mia Goth and Ana de Armas at the Oscars and its after parties, proving the argan oil-rich hair brand holds transformative powers for the hair of every generation. On Moore, celebrity hairstylist Dimitris Giannetos created her early aughts-inspired waves using the original Moroccanoil Treatment ($48), Root Boost ($32), Perfect Defense Heat Protectant ($32) and Luminous Hairspray Strong ($28).
Peet, Goth, McRae and de Armas all opted to refresh their tresses using Moroccanoil’s professional hair color products, such as Moroccanoil Blonde Voyage Lightener (used by McRae to achieve “blended ribbons of honey and gold”), Professional Hair Color Rhapsody and the Demi-Permanent Cream.
Honorable Mentions
Mikey Madison and Zoe Saldaña (Oscar’s Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, respectively) both prepped their skin for the Golden Globes with CurrentBody’s LED Light Therapy Face Mask: Series 2 ($469), a red light mask with the power to reduce fine lines, promote collagen and boost radiance.
L’Oréal Paris lipsticks graced the lips of Kelly Ripa, Elle Fanning and Monica Barbaro at the Vanity Fair Oscars after party. Ripa and Barbaro wore the shade 601 Worth It (described as a pinky nude) in different formulas—Ripa wore the classic Colour Riche Satin Lipstick and Barbaro the Colour Riche Intense Volume Matte Lipstick. Meanwhile, Fanning took a softer approach with the Colour Riche Satin Lipstick in Ballerina Shoes, a light pink.
Kat Burki’s Silk Protein Primer ($54) created a “smooth and velvety” base for makeup on the faces of Jamie Lee Curtis (at the SAG Awards) and Ellen Pompeo (at the Vanity Fair Oscars after party).
milk_shake’s Incredible Milk Leave-In Hair Treatment ($28) was one of many milk_shake products Camila Cabello and Amelia Dimoldenberg (of Chicken Shop Date) can thank for their luscious long locks throughout the night of the Oscars.
