Red Carpet Ready

It’s OSCAR SUNDAY! Ahhh. My TV has been tuned into E! since about 1:30PM this afternoon {because I hate to miss a beat when it comes to Red Carpet style} – be sure to tune in as well! Official Red Carpet coverage begins at 5:30PM EST. I’ll also be live tweeting over @KristinClarkFSU if you’d like to follow along + see what I’m loving {and possibly hating, meh.} on the Red Carpet!

In honor of the biggest awards show night of the year, I’m sharing some of my favorite beauty + style tips to ensure you’re your best Red Carpet ready self! Whether it’s for a friend’s wedding, prom, special occasion, etc.

because every great look begins with a killer smile. I’ve been using the Crest 3D White Supreme FlexFit Whitestripes for a few days now and am totally loving the results! The ‘flexfit’ technology is honestly the best of any whitening product I’ve tried. They’re comfortable to wear the entire suggested hour.

because nothing compliments a pretty white smile like a pop of color. Whether you’re going for a soft competition, or a vibrant hue, Bareminerals moxie lipsticks are my go-to.

keep it neutral. Let your outfit + jewels speak for themselves.

make your jewels compliment your dress, not be the star of the entire look. For example, strapless calls for a statement necklace, updo needs a bold earring, and a ring {or 3} are always a must. Pictured above is this amazing Juliet & Company necklace.

go for something fun. I feel like shoes display so much of your personality, so go big, and go with what you like! Pops of color, bedazzle, bling, mixed textures/fabrics, straps, etc…you get the idea.
