Penelope Cruz in Armani Privé
Penelope Cruz, Kim Kardashian, Louise Roe, Emma Stone and Gwyneth Paltrow are just a handful of the stars who received a custom St. Tropez skin finishing treatment ready for the Oscars 2012 red carpet.
St. Tropez VIP Skin Finishing Experts Fiona Locke, Sophie Evans and Lucy Halperin provided these stunning starlets with flawless, glowing skin for Hollywood's biggest night! In its fourth year taking over Hollywood by storm, Lights, Camera, Glow! has become a major must for stars getting ready for the Oscar red carpet.
Penelope Cruz dazzled in her blue Armani Privé gown and her skin was down to a look by Matthe Van Leeuwen. He opted to give the star a contemporary tan: a bronzed glow with a modes shimmer to compliment her elegant, sophisticated Oscar look.
He says: "I wanted to give Penelope a nice, subtle glow so I combined an equal amount of the St. Tropez Instant Glow Wash Off Body Lotion with the St. Tropez Rose Skin Illuminator and applied it all over her upper body. Next, I dusted the St. Tropez Bronzing Rocks over her shoulders, back and décolletage to finish it off."
Gwyneth Paltrow opted for the Luxe Tan which was created by Leslie Lopez. The flawless golden glow helped to bring out her magnificent skin tone necessary for her white Tom Ford gown.
Leslie explains: "To enhance Gwyneth's glamourous Oscar look I used one of my favourite products from St. Tropez, the Gold Skin Illuminator. By applying it to her cheek bones, brow bone and collarbone, I created a natural glow which complimented Gwyneth's fair skin tone delivering a shimmery golden touch."
Emma Stone is known for her porcelain skin and it was no different last night at the Academy Awards. Rachel Goodwin created her skin look, the Pastel Tan, a blush pink shimmer to compliment her bold coloured Giambattista Valli gown.
Rachels says: "I used the amazing St. Tropez Skin Illuminator in Rose on her arms, shoulders and collar bone. I used it to a pink undertone and create a beautiful glow to pop against the colour of the dress. The Rose Skin Illuminator was perfect for the look Emma went for and it worked very well with her hair, dress and jewellry - it made the complete look."
