Red Carpet Fashion and Makeup: Angelina Jolie at 81st Annual Academy Awards

February 23, 2009

At the 81st Annual Academy Awards last night, actress Angelina Jolie looked stunning as usual in a black strapless Elie Saab gown with beautiful emerald-colored jewels for a striking burst of color. Read on to find out what celebrity makeup artist Mary Burton used to create Angie’s flawless look.


To play up Angie’s gorgeous eyes, Burton used Lancome’s Le Crayon Khôl in Black Ebony on the upper and lower lash lines. More liner was used on the outer corners of the eye to emphasize the shape of Angie’s eyes. Several coats of Lancome’s Ôscillation Mascara were applied to the upper lashes for added volume and length.

On the cheeks, Burton put a touch of pink using>Shu Uemura Blush in M Pink 31 and applied it to Angie’s cheekbones near the temple.

To create ultra-shiny and luminous lips, Juicy Tubes in Spring Fling was used on Angie’s lips.

    I really like her look! And her skin looks fab… do you happen to know which foundation she uses? She always looks dewy and glowy 🙂
    Or any recommendations you might have for achieving that specific look would be great! Thanks Phyllis!
