How to Get Dakota Johnson's Gorgeous Oscars Makeup

Red gowns and red lips are red carpet staples, but Hollywood's newest It girl Dakota Johnson made the look feel totally fresh by adding in a relaxed ponytail and surprising dress detail. We got the actress's exclusive beauty breakdown from Chanel celebrity makeup artist Kara Yoshimoto Bua, who kept the look "young and modern, with a soft, blended smoky eye featuring warm, caramel tones and a red stained lip." 

First, Bua applied Perfection Lumière Velvet Smooth-Effect Makeup to the T-zone and Les Beiges Healthy Glow Sheer Colour as contour along the cheekbones, under the jawline, along the forehead and down the bridge of the nose. On the eyes, she feathered Stylo Yeux Waterproof Long-Lasting Eyeliner in Marron Glacé in the crease and along the lower lash line before focusing on diffusing rich caramel color (Quadra Eyeshadow in Tissé Rivoli) at the outer corners. She lined Johnson's lips using Precision Lip Definer in Capucine, smudged on Rouge Coco Ultra Hydrating Lip Colour in Gabrielle and blotted. For the final touch, a second coat of lipstick was applied—starting in the center and faded out to the edges—for a modern, bitten look.
