Academy Award Worthy Beauty Must-Haves

You don't have to be a celebrity to shine like one. So where do we start? 

JF: Well we saw a lot of form-fitted dresses on the red carpet. And this is my latest little secret to wearing all those amazing looks, Wacoal's new iPant shapewear it visibly reduces the appearance of cellulite in 28 days and make your lower half look amazing in any outfit. Its so revolutionary because it literally works with your body ---waist, hips and thighs as you move ... its made of nylon that's actually embedded with caffeine, Vitamin E, Aloe Vera and Retinol -yet its light weight, seamless and gives you moderate control... get it at department and specialty retailers or wacoal-america.com 

And of course celebs are always glowing on the red carpet with flawless skin... Cetaphil is a cult classic line, loved by celebs like Natalie Portman. Their gentle cleanser is actually celebrating its 65th birthday. It's a non-soap cleanser that soothes and cleanses without leaving a residue that can clog pores, great for those with sensitive skin too like, acne or rosacea, it can be used with or without water so its easy to remember to remove makeup before bed which is a must! $11.99 at drugstores. 

Speaking of cult classics, Johnson's(R) Baby oil-based products are amazing and create a sensational glimmer and shine on your skin and its under 4 dollars. The iconic baby oil and creamy oil shea & cocoa butter are amazing, especially if used together. Just apply to your skin directly after you step out of the shower, while your skin is still wet. The combination of oil and water locks in up to ten times more moisture than ordinary lotion -and leaves behind a flattering sheen...so you get that red carpet glisten...soothes and relieves dry, rough patches too... great stuff. 

To get the flawless makeup looks we saw...its all about great tools, celebrity makeup artists like Dick Page, love Shiseido! They've partnered with one of the oldest traditional brush workshops in Japan and have created this 'perfect foundation brush', which lets you get a professional, flawless finish, it has synthetic bristles with slanted ends that pick up the perfect amount of product. So easy to use with all types of foundations too. And of course to get those fabulous eyes we saw...their eyelash curler gives you perfectly curled lashes with just one squeeze because it compliments the natural contours of the eye. And catches inner and outer lashes at the root without pinching. shiseido.com for those. 

For hair we saw some fabulous waves, Dove celebrity stylist Mark Townsend actually used the new Dove Style and Care collection to create Kristen Wigs long-lasting waves, perfect for any red carpet!
