We’ve still got Oscar fever here at LA Makeup! Did anyone else see Gabourey Sidibe, Oscar-nominated for her role in Precious and think WOW! She looked so great. We wanted to tell every insecure teenager in the world to look at that smile.  Yes, it does help if you’re wearing Marchesa and have your makeup done by Toby Fleischman but still, we loved her look.

Toby said: ‘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.’  He used:

• MAC Studio Fix Fluid
• Makeup For Ever Aqua Eye Liner (Black)
• CoverGirl Smoky Shadow Blast stick in Bronze
• Nars Blush in Lovejoy
• Estee Lauder Tiger Eye Lipstick
• Clinique Long Last Glosswear in Gold Spun

So the next time you’re working with clients try out this look and see if you can bring some red-carpet glow to someone’s life! Let us know how you go with it too!

Thanks to Talking Makeup for sharing her chat with Toby.
