Zoe Saldana @ 2010 Oscars

Zoe Saldana @ 2010 Academy Awards

She looks so, so classic.  Loving how lush her upper lashes look.

Makeup How-to

“We wanted to achieve a sexy and sophisticated look while keeping it balanced with her dress. With luminous skin and neutral-glossed lips, I was able to really focus on her beautiful almond-shaped eyes.” -Vera Steimberg for NARS Cosmetics

Zoe Saldana wore the following products to achieve a fresh and luminous effect:

  • Orgasm Illuminator
  • Enchanted Cream Blush (NEW for Summer 2010; try Gueule de Nuit Cream Blush for a similar effect)
  • Lamu Multiple (NEW for Summer 2010; try South Beach Multiple for a similar effect)
  • Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base (NEW for Summer 2010, Available May 1st)
  • Brousse Duo Eyeshadow
  • Nuits Blanches Eyeliner Stylo
  • Larger Than Life Volumizing Mascara
  • Love Devotion Lipstick (NEW for Summer 2010; try Casablanca Lipstick for a similar effect)
  • Ophelia Lip Gloss

Hair How-to

TRESemmé Celebrity Stylist Mara Roszak has provided simple how-to’s on how to get Zoe’s super-chic up-do: “We wanted to to have an editorial look because she was wearing Givenchy. We also didn’t want the hair and make up to compete with the dress so we created an elegant but effortless look.”

Apply TRESemmé Naturals Lightweight Mousse all over damp hair and blow dry away from the face with volume, flipping head upside down when the hair is almost dry to finish. Separate the crown from the rest of the hair and pull back sides and back into a tight ponytail. Pull the hair almost all the way through, leaving the ends tucked into the pony tail holder to create a half bun shape. Let a few pieces in the back fall out for a messier look. Tease the top of the hair, pull back to meet the back and pin, criss-crossing the bobby pins for a secure hold. Spray all over with TRESemmé TRES TWO Extra Hold Hair Spray. Spray hairspray on finger tips and gently pull the hair around the face with your fingers to loosen the hair, giving it an organic effortless look.

Love it or hate it?

See the dress!

oh when i saw her on stage, i couldn't look away.. she was GORGEOUS!!! <3

this is the best i've seen her look actually. they sculpted her nose really well!

Normally, this dress would be too busy for my taste, but I like this. I think she was really able to pull this off and I love the colors.

Throw the dress out!!! WTF was she thinking??!!!

LOL pinata!!! (but I like her makeup)

pretty but the dress is a no no.

When I saw her dragging this dress behind her on stage it looked like she was being mobbed by purple, lavendar and lilac tribbles.

this is definitely my favorite dress!

This dress is awful. Simply awful. She is a gorgeous girl, this dress totally took away from that.

Oh goodness. The dress is like a disco ball, wearing a wrap skirt, that happened to have stepped through a field of multicolored cottom that got stuck to the hem,

I want to love that dress, I really do! But I cannot get down with it. Her makeup is flawless though, she looks so amazing that it makes me want to buy all those products lol.

Nice, this is FUN! Very good, something special, not so boring. Risky, but successful, she is perfect.

Beautiful face and make-up. Hideous dress. Looks like a first year design student put it together in an hour or so before the show. Oh. The earrings are stunning. Pity about the outfit.

I think I'd like the dress if it was short & didn't have the ruffles.

The first time I saw this Givenchy dress, I knew SOMEONE had to wear it to the Awards! Refreshing to see someone embracing daring Paris couture.

The makeup looks gorgeous up close, but a bit boring from a distance. The dress... I LOVE IT! It's absolutely stunning!

She is a classic beauty. I love the top of the dress and the color concepts. However the bottom of the dress seems a bit heavy.

i like it, its sorta ugly-beautiful =]

hate the dress. she looks stunning though.

Yikesss! Her dress was beautiful until I scrolled down all the way! The upper part of her dress is gorgeous, the bottom in my opinion, no so much, but it does remind me of MAC blush ombre loll

This dress is terrible but her makeup is cute.

She looks wonderful but the bottom of that dress is killing me with the ugly.

no on the dress...yes on the makeup!

she looks beautiful, but i feel like the dress' top and bottom dont match. its beautiful none the less, but just a lil odd to me. and i love the colour!

Her face looks lovely but that dress would look so much better without all te fluffy stuff. It's obnoxious.

it started to look really good until the bottom of her dress turned into a pinata

the style of dress: not great the colour of dress: fantastic on her!

I definitely agree with you. The shape is unflattering, and the disco ball top is almost worse then the pinata bottom! The color is GORGEOUS, though!

eye make-up wonderful....

Love the makeup but the dress is so no. The bodice looks like if it belongs to a different dress, and the bottom looks too costumey and too can-can.

I love the top of the dress, loathe the bottom!! Loving the lashes too!!

I love the eye makeup too! The dress color is gorgeous on her.

I usually don't like these "strange" kind of dresses but I really love this one. Perhaps I am just a sucker for purple.

This dress is STUNNING....as soon as I saw her, I yelled at the tv "OMBRE!!!" This will definately be in my TOP FIVE!

it's so ugly and strange i kind of like it!
