Rachel McAdams @ 2010 Academy Awards
I love!!
Makeup How-to
“We chose our colour palette based on the water colour look of Rachel’s dress. There was a wash of cool tones in the dress, blue, green, purple, pink so we wanted the eye, cheek and lips to all have this same water colour sheerness to it.” — Kayleen McAdams
For Rachel’s eyes, Kayleen used a combination of grey and pink shades. On the lid, she used CHANEL Fluid Iridescent Eyeshadow in Fountain. She kept the grey on the outer corners of the lid and underneath the eye. She used the rose gold shade in the CHANEL Quadra Eyeshadow in Spices up to the brown bone and along the lid. To finish it off, Kayleen used CHANEL Soft Touch Eye Shadow in Slate in the inner corners of the eye, and followed up with two coats of CHANEL Inimitable Mascara in Noir. She kept the lips very simple with CHANEL Rouge Coco Lip Colour in Rose Comete, a beautiful light pink shade, and a bit of CHANEL Glossimer in Futile to accentuate the lips but keep the focus on the eyes.
Hair How-to
For Hollywood’s biggest night of the year, Sebastian Stylist Design Team Member Thomas Dunkin styled actress Rachel McAdams’ tresses to complement her pastel watercolor-print strapless couture gown. The voluminous texture of Rachel’s bun evoked a spring-time look that is effortlessly chic and breathtakingly beautiful.
- Thomas shares styling tips for recreating Rachel’s red carpet look at home:
Start by applying Sebastian Professional Liquid Gloss to slightly damp hair. - Blow dry hair straight with a large round bristle brush to give hair a smooth, polished base and voluminous texture from which to start styling.
- Brush hair back and put in a ponytail just above the occipital bone. Secure with bobby pins.
- Backcomb the ponytail and start to smooth the hair under using Sebastian Professional Re-Shaper hairspray, securing with bobby pins. Do this until all of the hair is tucked under and secured.
- Apply Sebastian Professional Craft Clay to the top and sides of the head for a textured effect rather than a perfectly-groomed finish.
- Finish the look with Sebastian Professional Re-Shaper hairspray and gently massage the whole look to give it a disheveled, modern feel.
Love it or hate it?
See the dress!
oh my gosh, this is my favorite look. so pretty!
Speechless! That dress is stunning!!
Very pretty!
She looks dead. The color of the dress definitely doesn’t match her skin tone. She should have tried a brighter face or dress.
SO pretty
she looks like a water painting
Absolutely stunning!
I love Rachael. She always looks fresh and feminine, a strong woman..One of ours! (Canada!)
She’s so gorgeous!
Love the dress. Everyone has the same hairstyle tonight.
I know! we need some variety! The bodice of the dress is intresting, but the skirt is a little… balloony. I like the water color look!
She looks amazing in Elie Saab…
Super super feminine dress. Great choice for Rachel McAdams. She always looks amazing!
Oh my lord, her dress is amazing! I would totally love an above the knee cocktail version of this for the summer.
elegant!
So far my favorite!!
This dress is a little too Dixie Cupp. So thumbs downnnn. But I ADORE the earrings!

she makes it look so effortless…gorgeous!
hands down best dress of the night
Absolutely stunning!
She is stunning, printed chiffon gowns are very in this season! so fresh and flowing!
I adore her. She is so beautiful.
Very pretty, but I bet her ears are killing her.
aww she looks beautiful and the shape of her dress is nice, but the art deco style on it looks like a hotel blanket!
Rachel looked so lovely on stage. Her smile is so winning.
LOVE LOVE LOVE Rachel Mcadams!
I was so happy to see her there, she’s my favourite
Now if only Ryan Gosling was there too and they were back together…*sigh*
The make-up artist who did her make-up, Kayleen McAdams, is actually her sister. Her sister is a make-up artist. Isn’t that cute? Her sister did her make-up for the Oscars. I just thought i’d put that fun fact out there if people didn’t know
Her dress is one of my favs on the red carpet tonight. I loved the way she looked & her sister did her usual fantastic job on her MU!
She is adorable……..
Dress, hair, jewelry…love everything! She looks gorgeous.
Not loving the dress but the face and hair is ravishing.
Another lovely close up shot! Her dress is nice, it reminds me of the watercolor paintings I used to do when I was in Kindergarden.
she looks stunning…my fav of all
So ethereal and just gorgeous.
She looks pretty and so fresh and natural. I can say that she must have done something different with her hair.
i think she would have looked amazing if her hair was that rich brownish red color shes had…either way i love her!
Very spring-y. Love, love, love.
She looks stunning..and he makeup is just right so it doesn’t overshadow the dress
She is so pretty… but I like her better as a brunette.

Oh wow, I literally got goosebumps! I love that dress!! It would look fabulous shorter too.
