Oscar Nominee Beauty Predictions by Milani Cosmetics
Milani highlights some beauty looks we might expect to see (or hope to see) on some of the leading ladies (Sandra, Carey, Gabourey, Penelope) this Sunday!
Actress in a Leading Role:
Sandra Bullock in “The Blind Side” Sandra Bullock wore a gorgeous purple dress to Golden Globes, and we would love to see that color incorporated into her makeup. She has beautiful brown eyes, so using Milani Runway Eyes Fashion Shadows in Couture in Purples for eyeshadow, Liquif’eye Black as liner, toping it off with Milani’s Power Lash would make her eyes very impactful.

Carey Mulligan in “An Education” Carey Mulligan has just dyed her hair platinum blonde, so that calls for a new makeup look! She does very minimal makeup, but it would be wonderful to see her with a bright red-orange lip color, like Milani’s Color Perfect Lipstick in Mandarina paired with Milani’s Mineral Blush in Luminous. The colors will complement each other and her new hair color making her pale skin glow. They will also add a whole lot of glamour for her Golden Globes appearance.

Gabourey Sidibe in “Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire” Is a hot up-and-comer who really loves to incorporate color into her red carpet wardrobe, but doesn’t add a lot of color to her makeup. It would be wonderful to see her with a bright shadow like Milan’s Runway Eyes Shadows #08 Shamrock used wet for a very impactful and colorful look. To really make her eyes stand out, Milan’s Infinite Liquid Eyeliner in Eternal along the upper lashline will defiantly make her a red-carpet DO!

Actress in a Supporting Role:
Penélope Cruz in “Nine” Penelope Cruz is known for her dark, heavy eyeliner, smoky look, so it would be wonderful to see her with a more natural eye and a high impact lip like Milani’s 3D Glitzy in In Vogue over Milani’s Color Perfect Lipstick in Berry Rich. The color, a bright red with lots of sparkle, will make her look sophisticated but with a fun twist. It will complement her skin-tone and eye color, making it unnecessary for her to do her typical smoky eyes.

What a cool post!
I definitely enjoyed reading through it. I didn’t see the liner that was mentioned in Sandra’s look in the picture, is it a separate product or did they just use the darkest color in the shadow palette?
Thanks for posting this E!
I like the purple eyeshadow look predicted for Sandra Bullock. Im really into berry colors lately.
For Penélope Cruz i understand the thought behind a toned down look but i like her with dark smoky eyes. It makes her look even more exotic.
Milani came up with beautiful looks that compliment each nominee. I love the purples especially!
I like this concept of making up a face chart for an imaginary makeover. Things I thought about as I read: I had always heard you shouldn’t match your makeup to your outfit (Sandra Bullock example). Has this “rule” changed? Also, the red lipstick for Carey because she now has blonde hair is a bit predictable. I would like to see something not so obvious as red lips/blonde hair.
yea i’ve heard of that rule before…dont match your eyeshadow to your makeup…but i could care less about it, i wear what i want and if i want to match my eyeshadow with my top then so be it, who made up those rules anyways?
The green liner on Gabourey is the best!
I prefer the look of Penélope.
I wanted to try out the new Milani’s Liquify eyeliner but I can’t seem to find them anywhere. I have heard good feedback about it.
I love Sandra Bullocks look, thank you for posting this Elessa!
Do you know where you can buy Milani stuff in Europe?
The Runway Eyes pallete looks cool
mmm I am not sure. Have you tried looking at their website for locations?
Yes I’ve tried but they only linked to a few US stores. Looks like Milani isn’t even available online in Europe… ;(
My opinion is bias because i love green makeup so I’m automatically going to pick Gabourey’s wished for look as the best! I can definitely see that make up on Penelope to.
Milani is a fun brand. And this is a fun post
interesting blog post… i do like the sandra bullock look the most out of all of them.
thanks for posting this,i have always been enthusiastic about milani makeup
I like the lips on the second picture
Wow that is nice. I love Milani for its eyeshadows package. I do not know why but I just love that thin brick of shadows. However, it is a bit expensive
lol.. for drugstore huh
cute I’d like to try some of these -i like the milani liquif eye pencils
OMG I love those!!!
now i’m interested in trying out Milani.
i’m most interested in their eye products.
i heard they have liquid liners that last almost as long as mac’s liquid last
shamrock was my 1st milany eyeshadow! <3
I want to try their stuff but it’s so hard to find :[
i’m loving thoes looks!!!
i love it how the pictures show the look ^^
does Milani really work well? I dont like the packaging for some reason =P
i’m not that big on milani packaging either, but i’ve heard wonderful things about their shadows
the runway eyes was very pigment and the color really shine.
The Eyes quad i don’t like it, very hard .
The blush awsome, i have some of them. Lip never try out before
The looks so suit the personalities of these women
Milani’s not available in Europe drugstores.
Hey Elessa!

Have you tried Milani cosmetics yourself yet? They sell it at the Sally Beauty store near my house.. Surprisingly, hee hee hee. Just wondering if they’re worth the buy, or if I’m better off saving for those rare trips to MAC
i love milani cosmetics, these are all really good loookss
purple smokey eyes are my favorite….it’s my go-to smokey-eye color!
I want to get some milani makeup, but I can’t find any at my local drugstores
hmm..these looks are pretty average..i don’t know why, but they seem really plain and common…
the purple eyeshadow palette is really pretty though!
can’t wait to see all the looks!!!
great, too bad there isn’t any milani in my drugstores
I like the way Penelope looks with darker lipsticks.
I just got my very first Milani product! They are now sold at the larger Zehrs (Loblaws) stores in Ontario.I was a Runway Eyes 05 and I’m impressed on how metallic they are (totality digging the bars). the has the rest of the standard items like nail polish, lips and single shadows.
