Oscar’s Weekend Beauty - Alyssa

Alyssa Milano Oscar's Makeup

I did a lot of makeup for the 2013 Academy Awards, including pre-Oscars and post-Oscars party looks (Many of them on my latest muse, Alyssa Milano) - I wanted to break down my favorite look of the weekend: Alyssa’s Refined Cat Eye

Alyssa came up with the idea for a 60s inspired makeup look and left it up to my interpretation; she’s really great and trusting like that. I didn’t want to go too period or literal with the look because believe it or not, I’m the type that likes to play it safe. On the red carpet, you could be one brush stroke away from overdoing it and ending up on someones “worst” list. So, I kept things fresh and modern by using a gloss instead of a matte lipstick, and giving her that Edie Sedgwick ultra-defined crease with a brown instead of black.
