Celebrity Makeup Fashion And Lifestyle At Awards Season Time Of Year


By Leslie Ball


During awards season, celebrities go all out to look their best on the red carpet. This means being at the top of their game from head to toe and being ahead of the fashion curve as well. Celebrity makeup fashion and lifestyle during awards season is like being on steroids!

Gowns during this time of year are beyond extravagant, with some of the biggest names in designers being showcased on the red carpet. Designers get the most visibility from celebrities when they attend such shows. Couture gowns and trendsetting hair and makeup are a must for any celebrity wanting to get tongues wagging.

For a show as huge as the Academy Awards, the heat is on to make a huge impression as well. Celebrities will go to any measure necessary, even as far as to get plastic surgery done before the show or have botox injected into their feet on the night itself. Having a beautiful body when appearing in front of the cameras is the ultimate goal, so celebrities undoubtedly feel the pressure to be perfect from every angle.

Preparation for any big awards show can begin weeks before the actual event. This includes fitness or, as mentioned, plastic surgery. Certain measures are taken a little closer to the night itself, like taking care of bloating. Tanning is a big deal around this time of year as well. However, quite a few starlets have begun changing that trend by showing off their pale white skin on the red carpet.

Makeup is a girl's best friend and the top artists are fully booked at this time of year. Contouring, highlighting and all sorts of other tricks are used to put one's best face forward, so to speak. Celebrities get bronzed, shimmered and toned through use of makeup for any last minute fixes to the face and body. Eyebrows, lashes and full body waxing must also be done to be on point!

Designers whose work is often seen at major shows like the Oscars, the Emmys and Grammys include Zac Posen, Versace, Chanel and Elie Saab. The gowns worn by actresses and musicians are all styled to create different looks. A star can look like a fairytale princess or a total diva on the red carpet, depending on what her stylist does with the outfit.

Different types of awards show allow for different looks. The Oscars is the ultimate occasion to truly show off an haute couture look. Some stars opt to take risks on the red carpet, trying things to shock and awe, which could land them on worst dressed lists, but publicity is always good.

Having gorgeous skin for the lights and cameras is a must, and so, plastic surgery aside, celebrities do indulge in detoxes and cleanses to be at their best. While many have year-round routines to keep their skin glowing, juice cleanses are particularly popular at this time of year. Nothing is too outrageous when it comes to preparing for awards season, as a celebrity's body and face is her livelihood.
