Tip #1: Prep Your Skin

It’s important to prep your skin a few days before a big event. In addition to drinking lots of water and eating a healthy diet, the key to glowing skin is following a strict skincare regimen. For pre-event prep, try the Olay Professional Pro-X Intensive Firming Treatment ($62) – this two step kit combines a hydrating mask and tightening serum. Packed with an effective blend of anti-aging ingredients, it works to firm skin by helping restore its natural fullness, elasticity and tension. In just five days skin looks significantly younger and firmer!

Gabourey Sidibe Oscars 2010 Makeup

Gabourey Sidibe Oscars 2010: The Makeup.

Celebrity Makeup Artist Toby Fleischman created Gabourey Sidibe’s Oscars 2010 makeup look.

How to get Gabourey Sidibe’s Oscars 2010 makeup look by Toby Fleischman:

“I had the honor of working with Gabourey Sidibe yesterday for the Oscar…It was Gabby’s big night after a long 14 month promotion of “Precious” so we really wanted it to be all about her. After seeing the magnificent Marchesa gown, it was an easy choice as to what her make up look should be – keep it simple and toned down so she could shine with her amazing spirit and beauty. MAC Studio Fix Fluid keeps Gabby’s skin looking creamy and gorgeous and it’s matte quality works to keep the shine down. We wanted a soft metallic eye to pick up the jeweled accents on the dress.
