Following the Golden Globes and the BAFTAs, the highly prestigious Academy Award winners have just been announced and Oscar Fever is sweeping the planet.

So if you want to achieve makeup like Mila, hair like Gwyneth and flawless skin like Halle in one single week! Here’s how…

ONE WEEK BEFORE

BOOK IN FOR BOTOX

Get that frown line or those crows feet taken away by a Caci specialist who knows exactly the right amount to give for a natural look for that A list celebrity look.

Botox® is a non-surgical treatment used to temporarily soften facial lines. This is great for using in selected areas of the face to relax the muscles, giving a younger, refreshed appearance by reducing the visible signs of stress and ageing.

20 HOURS BEFORE

FACE FACTS

Even a designer gown won’t help you fake great skin, so a Dermalogica Microzone 20 Minute Treatment will give your skin an instant spruce up, making it in prime condition for makeup application.

Get on-the-spot skin solutions with a microZone treatment. Dermalogica’s expert skin therapists will analyse your skin, then perform a zone-specific treatment designed to solve your skin problem, in just 20 minutes. MicroZone treatments are the quick fix for troubled skin, RRP $50

ON THE DAY!

8AM - EXFOLIATE

The first step in achieving the ultimate tan for the big day is to exfoliate the skin. Johnson’s® Body Care Be Radiant Daily Exfoliating Cream Wash is infused with smooth microexfoliating beads, AHA and natural milk extracts, to instantly get skin smooth, supple and radiant. Apply a small amount to a wet cleansing puff or sponge and massage onto your body in circular motions, concentrating on elbows, knees, hands and feet then rinse well. RRP $9.99

9AM - GLOW GETTER

A tan is vital for the red carpet, as flashbulbs can wash you out. The tan look for 2011 is Dusky Matt inspired by the 1970’s and Ultra Dark inspired by a futuristic look with a 3D element as seen on the runways at Paris and London ’11 Fashion Weeks.

Get your bronze with St Tropez Bronzing Spray (It's the only fake tan I will use!). This super-fine self tan spray delivers the ultra-even, ultra-smooth all-over tan you’ve always wanted. Infused with conditioning aloe vera and long-lasting color, you’ll have a perfectly natural looking tan in an instant. With 360° spray technology. The St Tropez innovative Aromaguard™ fragrance technology eliminates the tell-tale self tan aroma by a minimum of 70% and instead gives a beautiful subtle, yet refreshing fragrance. RRP $60.90

10AM - NAIL IT

This year’s must have nail colour was a true vintage red – ORLY Monroe’s Red is a dead ringer for the mani’s seen today. RRP $24.99 each. Create a salon quality finish with ORLY In A Snap, a top coat that dries your lacquer rock hard, in a snap! RRP $11.99.

1PM - AIR-KISS AND MAKE-UP

Achieve Mila’s contoured cheek bones with ease with Smashbox’s NEW Step by Step Contour Kit. Cheat genetics by using Smashbox’s new 3-in-1 kit to add dimension to the face with shades to contour, bronze and highlight. An easy-to-follow guide demystifies how to add depth, blend in warmth and create that resplendent glow. RRP $62.

Ensure a show-stopping smile that lasts with Smashbox’s newest Limitless Longwear Lipgloss shades from the In Bloom Collection. ‘Timeless’ is a soft nude-pink, while ‘Endless Kiss’ is a head turning bright coral RRP $47 each

4PM - HAIR TODAY

With hours to go, its time to fix your hair. Gwyneth got it right with healthy, silky hair, with a perfect part, not a strand out of place. Achieve this look with ease with the following products.

Wash hair with Wella System Professional Smoothen Shampoo, Conditioner and Mask for a super silky, hydrated hair base. RRP $34-36. Apply 2-3 pumps of Joico KPAK Restorative Styling Oil to half drying time while ensuring hair is frizz-free, uber glossy and protected from heat tools. RRP $31. When you’re ready, go over your entire head of hair with a hot iron to ensure smoothness is locked in, getting rid of any kinks or bumps. Part hair perfectly with a fine-toothed tail comb – with your parting dead centre to keep this simple, pretty style on-trend and modern. Finish with a mist of Fudge Membrane Gas to keep your parting in place without crispiness.
