A welcome resurgence of pre-Covid glamour has reigned on the awards season circuit this year, from Golden Globes in January through the Grammys just a few weeks back. Celebrities have debuted new hair colors, bold eyeshadows, and, of course, a classic Old Hollywood aesthetic on every red carpet—and the 2024 Oscars' best beauty looks are the grand finale. Tonight, nominees and presenters are arriving at Dolby Theater in Hollywood with perhaps some of the most elegant hair and makeup of the season.

Beauty preparations for the big event started well above a week ago, with stars visiting famed facialists like Ivan Pol of The Beauty Sandwich, Georgia Louise (known to use SK-II and Biologique Recherche), or iS Clinical’s celebrity ambassador Cynthia Rivas. In the hours preceding their red carpet arrivals, in hotel rooms scattered across Los Angeles, stars from nominated films Killers of the Flower Moon, Barbie, Oppenheimer, and Poor Things (among many others) were busy getting their blush dusted to perfection and bobby pins painstakingly placed into their updos.

Now that the stars have arrived on the red carpet, Marie Claire is rounding up the best beauty looks of the 2024 Academy Awards. From Eva Longoria's peach lips to Issa Rae's top knot, we have the breakdown on the evening's most memorable beauty moments—and the exact products the stars used for Hollywood's biggest night.
