Harry Winston always shines at the Oscars, and last night was no exception. Jessica Chastain and Shailene Woodley glammed up their elaborate gowns with baubles from the famed jeweler, who was the first to loan pieces for the Academy Awards when he adorned Jennifer Jones for the 1943 ceremony. Last night’s red carpet continued the legacy with more than a $5.2 million worth of sparkling stones showcased on five Hollywood stars. Click “See the Photos” to check out the pieces up-close!

Celebrity-Inspired Manicure Idea: Wine Tips!

Feb 27, 2012 @ 2:00 pm

French manicures are getting a bold twist, thanks to bordeaux tips. Rihanna wore nude nails with wine tips while out in London recently, and Jennifer Lopez gave her talons a thin pinot line at the 2012 Oscars last night. “Jennifer’s look was a modern interpretation of ’60s glamour, and I wanted her nails to reflect that,” said manicurist Tom Bachik, who created Lopez’s look. Bachik painted on L’Oreal’s Color Riche Nail Polish in Because You’re Worth It, a metallic rose gold, then layered the brand’s vampy Haute Couture Red in a V shape over the tip. Find the colors for $6 each at drugstores nationwide.

Oscars 2012 Makeup: Emma Stone’s Pink Eye Shadow

Feb 27, 2012 @ 12:40 pm

First-time presenter Emma Stone made a bold beauty move at the Oscars choosing pink eye shadow. “I was very inspired by her fuchsia Giambattista Valli dress, and wanted to play with various shades of pink on her face,” her makeup artist Rachel Goodwin told InStyle.com. She swept a shimmery ballerina pink shadow from the Revlon Colorstay Goddess Quad ($6 at target.com) along the entire lid, followed with an ultra-thin swipe of Revlon Cream Gel Eyeliner in Black along the top lashline ($10 at ulta.com). “Pink on its own can look sickly, but the firm black line grounded the look,” Goodwin explained. A swirl of petal pink blush and a touch of berry lip stain finished the look. “Everything was transparent so it wouldn’t be compete with that gorgeous dress,” Goodwin said. Beautiful!
