Posted in: Backstage BeautyDate: March 7th, 2010


Nicole Richie @ 2010 Academy Awards
This is probably one of the bolder makeup looks I’ve seen tonight. It reminds me of MAC’s Colour Ready promo, actually.
Love it or hate it?
See the dress!














Rose
Sunday, March 7, 2010I love it! Nicole Richie has always been a makeup inspiration for me. I absolutely love the dress as well.
Evelyn
Sunday, March 7, 2010It’s a very vintage look all around. I like it but I think it’s a touch aging on her.
Jessica
Sunday, March 7, 2010Wow, her makeup looks amazing! The hair looks too gelled for me, though. I miss the blonde!
Pkb
Sunday, March 7, 2010she looks stunning here, head to toe! her eye colour is so unusual, it’s awesome!
Tiffany S.
Sunday, March 7, 2010To be honest, I think it looks garish and not glamourous or beautiful.
Stephy
Sunday, March 7, 2010I love it!
mary007
Sunday, March 7, 2010Me no like it!
Stacia
Sunday, March 7, 2010I love the hair and makeup, Audrey Hepburn look. However I think the dress consumes her, is overpowering and takes away from her beautiful face.
claudia
Sunday, March 7, 2010Wow, I love it !
Alix
Sunday, March 7, 2010Awful dress, awful makeup. And why is she even here?
Alicia
Sunday, March 7, 2010her man is DJing.
igswonderworld
Sunday, March 7, 2010ITA!!!!! that was my reaction exactly!!!!!!
Alicia
Sunday, March 7, 2010love the mod eye. I adore her especially lately!
Lorna
Sunday, March 7, 2010i like the makeup but the dress looks too heavy and i know she is super skinny.
Deedee
Sunday, March 7, 2010I love it! If you’re not nominated for anything, why be boring? The eye is amazing.
Alexis
Sunday, March 7, 2010I love how she looks!! She always does the “natural” thing so it’s nice to see something bold. And it looks great. She has the eyes to pull it off.
sinead
Sunday, March 7, 2010i love her eyeshadow. the color of her eyes are so unique.
Tish
Sunday, March 7, 2010Love! Love her makeup…edgy!
Heather
Sunday, March 7, 2010Love the b@llsy makeup and the dress! She doesn’t look like everyone else, which is a good thing!
liana
Sunday, March 7, 2010Love this look, the dress and make-up is so unique.
sf
Sunday, March 7, 2010she kind of looks like a bird…i think its a bit too dark for the Oscars
Ryan
Sunday, March 7, 2010This look is all around fabulous and by far the best tonight. I am so impressed and stunned i cant… I cant stop looking! I MUST know the designer!!! She also had the perfect makeup on… edgy to go with the dress, and also the color tied everything together. From the headshot it seems that the entire dress is made of sequins… im going to die!!!
Sasha B
Sunday, March 7, 2010i wouldn’t want this knight to save me.
christi
Sunday, March 7, 2010I am *in love* with her makeup! Stunning!
Elysia
Sunday, March 7, 2010Finally someone with eccentric make-up! Maybe it’s just me, but i’d be sportin’ something crazy if I were at an awards ceremony!
Iya
Sunday, March 7, 2010I love her dress
Jessica
Sunday, March 7, 2010Very cute, her face is kind of quirky so I think this really works for her.
Sonja
Sunday, March 7, 2010My first thought was it is too old for her but after looking at it again…I kind of like it. I still think it is a more mature dress but I think her make up and hair go with it perfectly. The dress itself is very stylish and it is kind of nice to see something different. I think she is really coming into her own.
Kalee
Sunday, March 7, 2010“It reminds me of MAC’s Colour Ready promo, actually.”
AHAHA i thought of that as SOON as i saw this picture. just without the green. lol
Kate
Sunday, March 7, 2010This is one of my least favorite dress of the evening. She looks pretty, though. Like her hair and makeup.
Marjorie
Sunday, March 7, 2010A softer up-do would have made her look more youthful but I think she is going for sophisticated, sexy and grown up and it totally works!
Bridgette
Sunday, March 7, 2010I love her make up! I wish I was able to wing my eyeliner like that. Sadly I don’t like her dress :(
Ann
Sunday, March 7, 2010That reminds me of Christina Aguilera’s Keeps Gettin’ Better MV makeup
pquanda
Sunday, March 7, 2010Makeup is bomb on her. Nicole has killer eyes!
pquanda
Sunday, March 7, 2010Not a fan of how her liner wore off so much more on her left eye versus her right. The brows are horrendous!
Carrie
Sunday, March 7, 2010Yikes. I don’t like that look at all. I don’t think it’s very flattering.
Adriana
Sunday, March 7, 2010I love the look! I think she looks gorgeous. Does anyone notice her extensions on the top of her hair? Or is that something else??
Jenelle
Sunday, March 7, 2010Twigy!
Cindy
Monday, March 8, 2010Pretty makeup but her dress looks like a futuristic Mrs.Roper outfit in the making.
Alexis
Monday, March 8, 2010christine, what do you think would be a good color dupe for the color on her lid? also do you think it’s the same as the highlight color? thanks a lot!
Hilana
Monday, March 8, 2010Her make-up is super sexy, but I miss the blonde hair. I like the dress, but I think it would have been nice if she showed a bit more flesh. I don’t know what this dress looks like from behind, but I think it could work if it was cut really, really low and showed a lot of her back.
Not my favourite look ,but not the worst either.
sandrine
Monday, March 8, 2010One of my favorite looks of the night. Love the retro make up and dress.
Ceriene
Monday, March 8, 2010Interesting eye make-up. Not sure I like the whole cat-eye thing going there, but.. it’s better than her dress. Nothing flattering about it at all. :<
Dana
Monday, March 8, 2010this was a daring look to wear to the oscar’s..
Mya
Monday, March 8, 2010I love this dress! I think she is probably one of the very few that can pull it off. Not liking the hair and makeup though:(
Emm
Monday, March 8, 2010Honestly she looks Egyptian with the dress, hair and makeup. For a red carpet she looks too halloween and less herself.
condesa
Monday, March 8, 2010Stunning eyes! perfect makeup; terrible dress.
Michelle
Monday, March 8, 2010I wish they would have picked a hairstyle that better hid her crimp-in hair extensions. They are REALLY obvious in the closeup shots. The makeup look is different and something a bit more adventurous than many of the other ladies had… just not sure if I love it for her though…
Alexis
Monday, March 8, 2010I feel like the dress just overwhelming her small frame but for some reason it works for her. It’s just her glam-boho style that makes it work. I am loving the face – I would kill to do eyes that perfect on myself!
Jessica
Monday, March 8, 2010Love the overall look! I love her makeup and the cat-eye!!!! Really accentuates her gorgeous eyes!!! Dress looks great on her as well!
Amal
Monday, March 8, 2010I love the look. It’s so unique and memorable, and somehow reminds me of our Arabic dresses ;)
Mora
Monday, March 8, 2010dress, makeup and hair look good together from far away.
but something looks wrong when you just see the face. the makeup is nice done, but i think it doesn’t suit her.
Anya
Monday, March 8, 2010WOW! her eyes are gorgeous. Absolutely va va voom!
Casey
Monday, March 8, 2010I absolutely love her eye makeup! I really like Nicole Richie…shes matured so much and she has great style. This isn’t my favorite dress on her but she looks lovely.
Ashley
Monday, March 8, 2010Train wreck.
Brigitte
Monday, March 8, 2010She definitely kept it matching with her very bohemian style, which I love. She stayed true to herself. :D
Jo
Monday, March 8, 2010Not sure about the hair, but her eyes look so perfect they might’ve been stenciled on!
Kim L
Monday, March 8, 2010I have always found her quite unattractive, but she got it going on here!
Cherokee
Monday, March 8, 2010I love Nicole Richie. I love the fact that she doesn’t allow trends to dictate her style and she owns what she wears.
queenfrostine
Tuesday, March 9, 2010I like it over all but not as much up close. I love the application, but the white shade looks chalky against her skintone. I think I might like it better had they used a slightly warmer shade as the base. The shape is great though and I love that she went with something dramatic. It looks very classy.
sophie
Friday, March 12, 2010i don’t like it, i don’t like her…. so many beautifull people in the world why she…???
Jade
Saturday, March 13, 2010Adore the dramatic eye with the pared down lips, she looks flawless :)
marie
Sunday, August 1, 2010She’s nowhere near flawless in this
she looks awful
I used to love her look, very easy and natural looking yet glamorous and cute at the same time
this makes her look very old and her skin and hair look unhealthy
the makeup doesnt work with anything she has on or her haircolor
she looks very much like shes going to a weird funeral
her hair also looks dirty and unclean, the black is faded or something because a dark brown is showing through and looks spotty
you can also see her extensions showing through her bump, which is done wrong and the real hair is pulled too tight causing it to tunnel
overall its extremely disappointing from someone so naturally stylish as her and its just an awful look for anyone
