Lights, Camera, Glam: Oscars 2026 Beauty Breakdown
The biggest night in film is always just as exciting for beauty lovers as it is for movie fans.
At the 2026 Oscars, the red carpet showcased a wide range of makeup moments from soft, glowing complexions to bold eye statements and the truly loved and trusted classic glam.
Here are four makeup looks from the night that we loved.
Chase Infiniti
Chase Infiniti’s makeup look centered around soft, color coordinated tones that perfectly complemented her lilac gown. A light wash of purple eyeshadow across the eyes added a subtle pop of color while still keeping the look elegant and wearable.
Paired with a radiant and hydrated base and a glossy pink lip, the overall makeup felt fresh, youthful and balanced.

Teyana Taylor
Teyana Taylor took a much different approach and went for a bolder look with a striking graphic eyeliner. The sharp double wing created a strong shape around the eyes, giving the makeup a dramatic and modern edge.
Paired with statement lashes and a glossy lip, Teyana became one of the most eye-catching beauty moments of the night.
