NARS has been a red carpet staple throughout the past week for all Oscar-related festivities. Below is a rundown – the who, what, where and how – of celebrities wearing NARS to the 82nd annual Academy Awards Ceremony and surrounding events.

Jennifer Lopez’s radiant Academy Awards makeup look was created by Matthew Vanleeuwen for NARS Cosmetics with the Orgasm Illuminator, Cruising Lipstick, D.

Maggie Gyllenhaal’s 2010 Oscars makeup look by COVERGIRL celebrity makeup artist Molly R. Stern.

“The finished product was perfection. She looked like herself. Authentic, cool and beautiful. Being a part of Oscar day with a nominee is such an honor. It’s like an actress’ wedding day with Hollywood. I love being here. I feel so blessed.”-Molly R. Stern

How to get Maggie Gyllenhaal’s Oscars 2010 makeup look by Molly R. Stern: Maggie is the muse of spring. Her Dries Van Noten gown is a swirl of bright colors that fades into white. For her makeup I wanted to bring out the color of her eyes with some depth while keeping with the brightness of her overall style.

We started off the look by refreshing the skin with Jurlique Rose Water spray. Then I prepped the skin with Shu Uemura red:juvenus vitalizing concentrate and lightly moisturized with La Mer moisturizing lotion.

For a flawless complexion I primed Maggie’s skin with COVERGIRL & Olay Simply Ageless Serum Primer (out in July 2010!!).

NARS Cosmetics worked with celebrity makeup artist Vera Steimberg to create the makeup look for Zoe Saldana at the 2010 Oscars. NARS’ NEW Enchanted Cream Blush was key in creating Zoe’s look along with many other products from the upcoming NARS Summer 2010 Collection.

“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 NARS products to achieve a fresh and luminous effect:
