Halle Berry arrives at the 85th Annual Academy Awards on February 24th, 2013.
Makeup Breakdown
My inspiration for Halle Berry’s look came fromher structured black gown with silver beaded vertical stripes. I wanted to keep the makeup look tonal and casual with this dress. I focused on punching up the eyes in a soft feminine way and played up her cheeks to balance this striking “Cadillac” of a dress. I wanted her face to stand out but not compete with the dress. Halle presented the James Bond tribute and so that was the theme of her look! — Makeup Artist Kara Yoshimoto Bua

Naomi Watts arrives at the 85th Annual Academy Awards on February 24th, 2013.
Makeup Breakdown
My inspiration for Naomi’s Oscar look was all about strength, unabashed glamour and polish, with a good dose of femininity. We loved the Art Deco vibe of the dress, which evoked the Chrystler Building in its statuesque feeling. The dress is strong, curvy and says powerful woman, so I wanted to focus on the power of Naomi’s gorgeous eyes. — Makeup Artist Pati Dubroff
