How To Get Sarah Jessica Parker’s Oscars 2009 Makeup Look

This year, at the 81st Annual Academy Awards Sarah Jessica Parker, sought dramatic eyes paired with a pale pink lip.

Christina Zilber, founder of Jouer Cosmetics teaches us easy ways to get the celebrity look: “The dramatic eye paired with a pale lip creates a fresh and romantic feel, perfect for formal occasions.” Other celebrities sporting this makeup look include Robin Wright Penn and Freida Pinto.

How to get Sarah Jessica Parker’s Oscars 2009 red carpet makeup look: The most important aspect to the celebrity look is flawless skin. Christina recommends beginning by lightly evening your complexion using the Jouer luminizing moisture tint followed by the Jouer age-repairing brightner where necessary, around the eyes, the nose and the corners of the mouth, follow by a light dusting of the Jouer mineral face powder. Christina then recommends applying a light peach or pink blush to the apple of the cheek for a fresh, youthful glow.
