AWARD SEASON BEAUTY LOOK #3: BLACK SMOKY EYE

Red lips not your thing? Focus on creating a timeless eye makeup look instead! We’re certainly expecting black smoky eyes to bring the sultry vibes this award season.

What you’ll need:

Eye primer

Flat eye shadow brush

Crease brush

Blending brush

L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Quads in Cookies & Cream

L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Lash Paradise Liquid Eyeliner in Black

L’Oréal Paris Unlimited Lash Lifting and Lengthening Washable Mascara

Get the look:

Ready to create a black smoky eye? Let’s get to it!

Step #1: Prime your eyes

Before applying any eye shadow, make sure you prime your eyes to ensure your eye makeup lasts all night long!

Step #2: Grab your shadow

Now that your eyes are prepped and ready for eye shadow, take a light gray shade and pack it onto your lid using a flat eye shadow brush. Then, apply a dark gray shade into your crease. Deepen your crease and amp up the drama by popping a black shade onto the outer “V” of your crease. Make sure to blend these colors well using a fluffy eye shadow brush. Complete your eye shadow by applying a white shade to your inner corner to brighten your eyes.

Step #3: Line your eyes

You can’t have a black smoky eye without winged eyeliner to match! Use your liquid eyeliner to line your upper lid and create your sharpest wing.

Step #4: Coat your lashes

Complete your smoky eye makeup look by adding volume and length to your lashes with a few coats of mascara.

AWARD SHOW BEAUTY LOOK #4: SLICKED-BACK BUN

Updos are another hairstyle we can predict will be on the red carpet—getting specific, slicked-back buns are a style you can guarantee will make an appearance. This ‘do allows your makeup to be the center of your beauty look.

What you’ll need:

L’Oréal Paris Advanced Hairstyle LOCK IT Clean Style Gel

Hair elastic

Bobby pins

Get the look:

Follow the steps below to create a slicked-back bun of your own!

Step #1: Grab your hair gel

Start by applying hair gel to your roots and slicking your hair towards the back of your head. Make sure to keep things bump-free.

Step #2: Create your bun

Once you’ve slicked your hair back, tie it into a low bun using a hair elastic. You can use bobby pins to secure any stray strands, but the bun can be as perfect or as messy as you want! 
And that’s it!

AWARD SHOW BEAUTY LOOK #5: SIDE-SWEPT WAVES

Another popular hairstyle we’re betting money on is side-swept waves. This tried and true hairstyle is super easy to recreate, all the while giving you a classy, elegant beauty look.

What you’ll need:

Heat protectant

Wide barrel curling iron

Wide tooth comb

Bobby pins

L’Oréal Paris Elnett Precious Oil Satin Hairspray

Get the look:

Grab your curling iron and get ready to give yourself award show-worthy side-swept waves!

Step #1: Protect your locks

Before we get to curling, make sure to spray your mane with a heat protectant to prevent heat damage.

Step #2: Curl your mane

Use a wide barrel curling to create large waves throughout your hair. Then, lightly comb through your curls with a wide tooth comb to loosen them up.

Step #3: Sweep it to the side

Bring your hair to one side. On the side opposite all of your hair, bobby pin the hair flat against your head. This will keep your mane in a side-swept position.

Step #4: Seal in your style

Finish your hairstyle by spritzing with hairspray to keep your strands in place throughout the night!

AWARD SHOW BEAUTY LOOK #6: NO MAKEUP, MAKEUP

No makeup, makeup is another look that can’t seem to be kept off the red carpet—and we wouldn’t have it any other way. This subtle beauty look makes a statement of its own with its simplicity. Learn how to get the look in our article, How To Rock The No Makeup, Makeup Look: The Complete Tutorial.

AWARD SHOW BEAUTY LOOK #7: TEMPORARY HAIR COLOR

Award season is the perfect opportunity for celebrities to try out wild, eye-catching hair colors—temporarily, of course. We’ve already seen this trend gracing a red carpet or two this season, and we’re predicting more fun hair colors to come! Get the look by using a wash out hair color, like the L’Oréal Paris Colorista 1-Day Spray or the L’Oréal Paris Colorista Hair Makeup 1-Day Color. With an array of beautiful shades, you can be a hair color trendsetter for the night.
