The beautiful Rachel McAdams walked the red carpet yesterday in an Elie Saab Houte Couture gown. The strapless, flowing gown was beautifully watermarked with pastels.

Rachel's soft makeup look to accompany the dress featured grey and pink colors. Rachel is wearing Chanel Fluid Iridescent Eyeshadow in Fountain on the outer corners of her eyes and under her eye. Next use Chanel Soft Touch Eyeshadow in Slate on the inner corners of the eye. On the lid and up to the brow use the Chanel Quadra Eyeshadow in Spices.

Sandra Bullock Wins Best Actress

Sandra Bullock, always described as the most likable woman in show business, has just won the Oscar for best actress for her role as Leigh Anne Tuohy in 'The Blind Side'. The 45 year old actress looked stunning in her Marchesa gown, that clung to her body in just the right places, with beautiful embroidery on the bust.

'The Blind Side' is a film about a woman (Bullock) who takes in a homeless boy who ends up becoming an NFL football star.

Interested in how to get Sandra's Oscar look? The lips were the main focus, which she got a little negative attention for, but the color is a bright pink, try Two Faced lip gloss in Candy Apple. A light cheek color with Nars blush in Orgasm on the apples of the cheeks.

For the eyes, line the upper lid with a black pencil, lightly line the lower lids with a lighter shade of black or grey. On the inner corners of the upper lid, sweep a silver shadow across the lid to the center of the eye. Next use a grey/purple color on the outer corners and the crease.

Anna Kendrick Arrives at the Oscars

Anna Kendrick was one of our best dressed this year at the Academy awards. The young 24 year old actress walked the red carpet in a flowing Elie Saab Haute Couture gown in pale pink. The color looked great with her brown loosely pulled back hair.

Anna Kendrick was nominated for best actress in a supporting role for her work in 'Up In The Air', playing Natalie Keener opposite George Clooney. Kendirck did not win in this category, but seemed happy for Monique who took home the Oscar.

Many of us know Anna Kendrick from her first major movie series, Twilight and New Moon. Anna played Jessica, the 'best friend' of Bella Swan (the main character).

Interested in how to get Anna's Oscar makeup look? The makeup was very light to go with her dress. First start with making your complexion flawless with some concealer and foundation. Add some highlighter to the cheekbones and just below the arch of the eyebrow. Then use Tarte coral cheek stain on the apples of cheeks.

Anna has a smokey eye effect. To achieve the eyes, line the upper lids with a black eyeliner, then carefully line the bottom lids as close as you can to the eye from the outter corners to about the centre of your eye. Use a dark grey shadow in the crease and along the lash line.

For the lips Ana used Tarte Lipsurgance Natural lip stain in Charmed with a little gloss on top.
