Sandra Bullock @ 2012 Oscars
Sandra Bullock walked the red carpet at the 84th Annual Academy Awards held in Hollywood, CA on February 26th. Makeup was by celebrity makeup artist Angela Levin using Chanel.
I started by applying a rich dose of CHANEL Sublimage La Creme Texture Supreme ($390.00) to a clean face and let it absorb into the face for about 15 minutes. On her eyes and forehead, I then used a light coat of CHANEL Vitalumière Aqua Compact ($58.00 – Available March 19 on chanel.com).
For the cheeks I wanted to create a fresh, youthful appearance so I applied Exclusive Creation Blush Horizon de CHANEL ($58.00).
On the eyes, I began by applying CHANEL Illusion D’Ombre in Émerveille ($36.00) to her lids lightly with my fingers. I followed by applying all colors from the CHANEL Quadra Eyeshadow in Enigma ($58.00). I used the chocolate grey on the outer part of the lid, the violet grey on the eye crease, the pink under the brow bone and the deep plum to frame the eye across the lash lines. To further glamorize her eyes, I lined the upper lash line with CHANEL Intense Eye Pencil in Noir ($28.00). CHANEL Inimitable Mascara in Noir ($30.00).
I finished her look by applying a sumptuous amount of CHANEL Rouge Coco Lip Colour in Mademoiselle ($32.00) topped with CHANEL Glossimer in Braise ($29.50).
Sandra Bullock @ 2011 Oscars
Sandra Bullock arrives at the 2011 Oscars on Sunday, February 27th. Celebrity makeup artist Angela Levin used Chanel and said, “My inspiration for Sandra’s look was glowing, princess, Hollywood glamour. Sandra represents elegance and simplicity, and I wanted her makeup to reflect just that.”
“I prepped Sandra’s skin with CHANEL Hydramax + Active Serum around her eyes lips and cheeks. Over that, I applied a bit of CHANEL Sublimage Concentrate which creates a gorgeous, healthy complexion. For a base I used CHANEL Vitalumiere Fluid Makeup in Clair. On the lower jaw line, chin, and forehead, I added CHANEL Mat Lumiere Luminous Matte Fluid Makeup in Clair. I wanted the glow to be focused on the center of her face. For her eyes I used the CHANEL Quadra Eyeshadow in Kaska Beige. I applied the darkest colour and the taupe colour, blending them very lightly, using only a small amount of shadow, and I used a bit of the mauve shade under her lower lash line. I used the CHANEL Automatic Liquid Eyeliner in Noir to create a very thin, delicate line. For her cheeks, I used CHANEL Blush Duo Tweed Effect in Tweed Fuchsia. Finally, on her lips she wore CHANEL Rouge Coco Lip Colour in Gabrielle. I applied it with a lip brush, then had Sandra rub her lips together, and applied again with the brush, creating the look of a dark stain.”
David Babaii known for achieving red carpet perfection, created “Texture Infusion” for Sandra Bullock’s 2011 Oscar look.
Start with a clean canvas by rinsing all the shampoo and conditioner from the hair. After gently towel drying, David applied Couture Colour Pequi Oil Treatment (now available at www.sephora.com) to the hair, using a wide tooth comb to evenly distribute the product. The Pequi Oil tames frizz, mends split ends while providing hair with incredible softness and shine. Then, he dried her hair with a round brush for a smooth finish. Once dry, David applied additional Pequi Oil and brushed her hair straight back. With the IT&LY HAIRFASHION Digital Styling Iron, he took random half inch sections starting at the front and twisted the hair. Once the strand is twisted, take your flat iron and press down the entire length of the strand to set a wavy texture in. Allow each strand to cool and release itself naturally. David continued taking half inch sections throughout the front half of her head until he achieved enough texture. When complete, additional Pequi Oil (www.sephora.com ) was added to his hands to finger comb the hair back into a ponytail above the nape area. He then wrapped her hair around the band and secured with bobby pins allowing any loose hairs to fall naturally.
Sandra Bullock @ 2011 Golden Globe Awards
Sandra Bullock is beautiful with her smoldering smoky eyes!
“My inspiration for Sandra was rock and roll with just a touch of disco!! Sandra and I agreed that a strong semi rock and roll eye with a touch of glamour would work well using similar colors that are in the jewels and dress and taking in consideration the bangs and hair style.” — Angela Levin
“I prepped Sandra’s skin with the CHANEL Sublimage Concentrate, and then applied CHANEL Hydramax + Active Cream. On her eyes I first used CHANEL then using a combination of all colours from the Ombres Perlees de CHANEL Eyeshadow Palette, using the dark shades on the outside and working my way in to the lightest. I lined her eyes with CHANEL Long-Lasting Eyeliner in Ebene, and then applied two coats of CHANEL Inimitable Intense Mascara in Noir. I powdered her face with CHANEL Natural Finish Pressed Powder, and CHANEL Blush Duo Tweed Effect in Tweed Pink. Finally, on her lips I used CHANEL Rouge Coco Lip Colour in Chintz.”
I love Sandra Bullock! And her legs are looking killer in that dress!
I love this dress… definitely one of my favorites of the night. I can’t tell if the lipstick is fuchsia-red or maybe just fuchsia.
“Tonight was Sandra’s big night and she was in a happy, ethereal mood. I wanted her to look like the true movie star she is, so we went with modern classy Hollywood – dewy skin, soft eyes, and a bold classic red lip.” — Angela Levin
Angela prepped Sandra’s skin with CHANEL Sublimage Fluid. She then used a foundation brush to apply CHANEL Vitalumiere Satin Smoothing Fluid Makeup in Shell all over the face. Angela created a structured brow with the soft brown powder in the limited edition Les Regards de CHANEL Palette. She lined Sandra’s eyes with the darker brown shade in the same palette.
Finally, she applied three coats of CHANEL Inimitable Waterproof Mascara in Noir for sexy, glamorous lashes. To create the real focus of Sandra’s look – a gorgeous, bold red lip – Angela applied CHANEL Rouge Coco Lip Colour in Paris. She finished the look by gently dabbing a bit of the same lip colour on the apples of Sandra’s cheeks – Angela’s signature makeup trick.
INSPIRATION: Abergel wanted to bring back simplicity, with Sandra’s sleek and straight down-do. The strong side part created beautiful lines to compliment her dress. He modernized the texture of the hair by creating a sleek look, with a slight wave at the end.
Conditioned hair is very important for any sleek style. Abergel used FEKKAI ADVANCED GLOSSING SHAMPOO AND CONDITONER, leaving the conditioner on for 15 minutes. He then rinsed and towel dried the hair. Then he parted the hair in a deep side part. Adir recommends following the arch of your brow to choose where to part your hair. He then took a large FEKKAI ROUND BRUSH and blow-dried the hair completely straight, making sure the roots were flat. Then spray with FEKKAI SHEER HOLD HAIRSPRAY to 2” sections of hair from roots to the end and use a flat iron to get a bone straight effect. To finish the look, Abergel took a 1 1/4” inch curling iron and lightly curled the ends of the hair for a nice slight wave and tucked the bangs behind the ear. To complete the look he added the FEKKAI SILKY STRAIGHT IRONLESS SMOOTH FINISH SERUM to create a sleek finish.
