Barbie Oscars Makeup

Written By Nadine Ward

Get ready, glam enthusiasts!

Tomorrow night, Sunday, March 10th 2024, marks the most dazzling event of the year—the Oscars! And guess what? Ryan Gosling is set to grace the stage, performing his electrifying hit 'I'm Just Ken' at the 2024 Academy Awards!

With Ryan Gosling channeling his inner Ken, the anticipation for the red carpet Barbie looks is absolutely palpable! Who wouldn't want to complement this perfect Ken with some iconic Barbie glam?

Cast your mind back to 2007 when Mac Cosmetics unveiled their sensational Barbie Range. At that time, I had the privilege of working for Mac, and us Makeup Artists had such fun painting our faces with vibrant pinks and lime green eyeshadows, bringing the spirit of Barbie to life. Do you remember the range? Check out the throwback photo from the 2007 Mac promotion, added below for some Barbie inspiration.

Fast forward to today - It’s 2024, and Mac is once again making waves with their irresistible Barbie offerings. Dive into the allure of 'Wild Cherry,' the perfect Barbie blush, now on a fabulous discount at Boots! And for those luscious Barbie lips, indulge in the Maximal Silky Matte Lipstick in 'Candy Yum Yum’

Let's talk trends, shall we? 'Pink Makeup' by Mac is all the rage right now—just take a peek at their site to step into spring with pink and pastels.

And let's not forget the Barbie hair. Add volumes - Grab those tongs or curling brushes put in those curls. Brush it out and use hairspray to hold.

I learnt form Mac, anything goes, no right or wrong. Use those makeup brushes for what feels right. Have fun with your makeup and own it.

Remember, Barbie isn't just about pink—it's about embracing your individuality! With countless Barbie iterations out there, you have the power to create your own Barbie fantasy, whether it's classic pink or something different.

So, let's paint the town pink and unleash our inner Barbie and Ken! Whether it's the Oscars or at home, let's make every moment a glamorous adventure! 💄💋✨ - Nadine
