Makeup How-to
Maggie Gyllenhaal’s Oscar beauty look, by COVERGIRL celebrity makeup artist, Molly R. Stern Oscar day with Maggie!
Maggie is the muse of spring. Her Dries Van Noten gown is a swirl of bright colors that fades into white. For her makeup I wanted to bring out the color of her eyes with some depth while keeping with the brightness of her overall style.
We started off the look by refreshing the skin with Jurlique Rose Water spray. Then I prepped the skin with Shu Uemura red:juvenus vitalizing concentrate and lightly moisturized with La Mer moisturizing lotion.
For a flawless complexion I primed Maggie’s skin with COVERGIRL & Olay Simply Ageless Serum Primer (out in July!). Then I lightly applied some Chantecaille future skin foundation in the color ‘cream’ only where she needed it. Then lastly I dusted La Mer powder foundation in ‘Ivory’ to set the skin for the big night.
For her amber peachy cheeks I used COVERGIRL & Olay Simply Ageless Sculpting Blush in Rich Cinnamon. And dusted some NARS ‘dolce vita’ blush on the apples.
For Maggie’s eyes of layered copper smoke I based her eye with COVERGIRL Smoky ShadowBlast in Bronze Fire. Next I deepened her lid with NARS soft touch shadow pencil ‘skorpios’. Then I blended into the crease Shu Uemura pressed eye shadow ‘p brown 810′ and lastly I lightly dusted Shu Uemura pressed eyeshadow in ‘n me brown 860′ all over the lid for a golden finish. For the undereye, I resmudged the COVERGIRL Smoky ShadowBlast under her lash line to bring out the blue of Maggie’s eyes. Finally I defined her lashes by combining brown and black mascara. I painted the lashes with both colors using COVERGIRL LashBlast Length for perfectly flirty long lashes.
On Maggie’s lips I applied NARS ‘schiap’ lip color –it was the perfect shade to finish off the look. Its bright hue matches Maggie’s vibrant sense of style and confidence.
The finished product was perfection. She looked like herself. Authentic, cool and beautiful. Being a part of Oscar day with a nominee is such an honor. It’s like an actress’ wedding day with Hollywood. I love being here. I feel so blessed.
Love it or hate it?

not my favorite
the lipstick is all wrong for the dress…
um, i wanna start seeing her wear her hair down! the lipstick shade is a little bright but she seems like the type to pull it off
That looks like a bad prom dress.
are you kidding me? the dress is gorgeous
It looks a bit like she has 2 black eyes. On the flipside, that’s one of the prettiest dresses I’ve ever seen.
i love her graphic print dress. great use of color on the red carpet. i wish she had done more of a rock star hair do so that she could pull off the pink lip better.
Oh poor Maggie Gyllenhag.
LOL!
I’m really liking the tropical summer feel to this whole look!!!
A really nice look for her, although I think her brows needed a little touch up.
I thought the exact same thing. Undefined, messy brows are my beauty pet peeve!
I think this dress works on her. She usually does something a little out of the ordinary. The only thing I don’t like about this look is that her eye makeup makes her look tired/sallow.
ya i dont know what it was but might be the eyeshadow.
i dont think copper eyeshadow looks good on the lower lashline for some people.
i tried it before and did the same thing on me, might be the skintone because im pretty much the same color as her.
I actually like her dress, and I would’ve liked it more if she had beachy waves.
I actually like her dress, and I would’ve liked it more if she had beachy waves. I would wear it to the beach, it’s a more casual wear.
i love that dress!! it just looks absolutely stunning. IMO, the makeup looks lyk she let a three yr old play with crayola paint.. her blush looks cute tho..
LOVE her.
she looks like she should be asking be if i want a refill of my pineapple coolata.
Le sigh… so pretty….
i love her hot pink lips … at first i was wondering what lipstick she’s wearing but when i found out it’s nars schiap i couldn’t believe it … i have a schiap and it definetely doesn’t look like that schiap on me is more reddish … maybe they put something else on her like a gloss which is a lighter pink.
I think I would like this dress better if it was a solid color, because she looks great in this style. I don’t like her earrings, but the bracelet is gorgeous.
Typical Maggie. I love it. And the pink lips really make her eyes pop.
Beautiful dress, but wrong lipstick shade.
I like her dress but she should have worn a more toned down lip color since her dress has a lot of color. Also if her hair was in a side pony tail (If her hair is long enough to do that) it would have looked nice.
Well, this is great, maybe not enough for the Oscars?
I wouldn’t have paired those eyeshadow colours with that lip colour, for me it clashes. First seems really warm, second seems very cool toned and for me that doesn’t look balanced on her. Still, I love how she doesn’t seem to take all these events too seriously and has fun with them, dress-makeup wise.
This dress looks better from afar.
This is just… confusing. I like the dress by itself. I like the lipstick by itself. I like the eyeshadow by itself. But these three things together do not work. Her stylist should be smacked on the bottom for this lol.
totally mismatched. A big chunky emerald on a blue gown? with hot pink lips? no no.
I like the pink lip with the dress.. it’s very Maggie.
I think she looks beautiful
i like the makeup and dress………..but not together. dress would look crap on me but looks good on maggie. mind you a sack would look good on maggie!
think she looks better though with darker colours for dress and lips. dark red really suits her
