Vanessa Hudgens @ Oscars 2009 Beauty Breakdown

Vanessa Hudgens @ Academy Awards 2009
I want her skin. It just looks ridiculous smooth and vibrant. I really want to know *her* skincare secrets!
Get the Look
To achieve her naturally beautiful evening look, Celebrity makeup artist, Karan Mitchell, first applied Neutrogena Healthy Skin Glow Sheers in Light to Medium to Vanessa’s already radiant skin.
To set the look and add a hint of shimmer, she then applied Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Blush in in Natural Apricot to the apples of her cheeks, followed by a touch of Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Illuminator.
To create Vanessa’s soft-smoky eye, Mitchell began by applying Neutrogena 3-in-1 Concealer for Eyes in Medium underneath the eye to rid of any dark circles, and on the eyelid as an eye-shadow base. She then used Nourishing Eye Duo in Fairy Dust, applying the darker shade to the crease and then brushing the accent shade over the entire lid up to the brow bone. Mitchell finished by applying two coats of Neutrogena Healthy Volume Mascara in Carbon Black.
To complement Vanessa’s darker eye, Mitchell applied a mixture of two pink moisture-infused lip colors – Neutrogena MoistureShine Lipstick SPF 20 in Angel’s Blush and Sheer Luck.
Get the Hair
Take 2 x 2 inch triangles, lightly saturate the hair with your favorite aerosol hairspray. Comb through the section to make sure hair is evenly distributed. With one hand, take entire section and twist to base.
Place the FHI Heat 3/4″ Curling iron underneath the section. Take the hair and wind around the FHI Heat 3/4″ Curling iron. Hold for approximately 15 seconds – slide iron out and secure with the FHI Heat T-Rex Clips.
Complete the entire head in this fashion. Let it all cool and remove clips. Apply approximately 1/2 a dime size of FHI Heat Hot Sauce to hands to emulsify – work through sections gently.

I think her skincare secret is that she’s a teenager. lol
She’s not a teenager lol. OK, as much as I HATE this girl, i do love her look!
also she has money for facials and such , im a teenager and i could only dream of having her skin.she looks pretty , do you think they really used neutrogena or are they just saying that cos she is a spokesperson.
I am going to call shenanigans on the Neutrogena products actually being used… at least for the foundation. They have SPF in them, which would completely wash her out under flash bulbs as it reflects light.
Wish i had her skin!
no matter what the haters say, she’s always so beautiful!! i really like her. i like her A LOT more than some of the other young celebs out there like miley cyrus! she’s so gorgeous
What?! *I* wouldn’t use Neutrogena to the Oscars and I don’t have half her money hahahaha
She’s a spokesperson for Neutrogena…hence she wears the products and promotes them. It’s called making money….
