| In anticipation of Sunday's "Academy Awards," we took a trip down celebrity memory lane to revisit the best Oscar hairstyles -- ever |
 This is a TotalBeauty.com hairstyles article As the "Academy Awards" ceremony is arguably the most prominent awards show (broadcasting live in more than 200 countries), it makes sense celebrities spend the better half of the day primping themselves -- there's a whole lot of people judging their chignons … including us. See the looks we love to reminisce about. |

Greatest Oscar Hairstyles Ever!
MAC Sheen Supreme Lipstick
U.S./Canada Launch Date: March 3rd, 2011
International Date: March 2011
Gloss is good, but there’s nothing quite as wonderfully, worldly cinematic as a Lipstick – and they’re coming back! We’ve updated formulas to make it all plausible. Sheen Supreme is the combination of the strong, sensually saturated colour of, say, Tilda Swinton’s I Am Love Milanese Lipstick, leavened with the light feel and clear vibrancy, the see-through sheen of a modern New York City Girl Gloss. Imagine no muddy undertones, gliding in pearl or creme finish, moisturizing with no sticky/tacky feel. It’s a new medium, with M∙A∙C in the lead. This is retro/modern – and
devastatingly chic.
Sheen Supreme Lipstick ($14.50)
Bare Again Pinky neutral beige
Behave Yourself Light blue pink
Can’t Get Enough Beige neutral
Can’t Resist Golden purplish red
Full Speed Bright clean yellow pink
Good to Be Bad Deep burgundy
Gotta Dash! Pale coral
Impressive Neutral gilded plum
Insanely It Watermelon pink
Look at Her! Metallic copper
New Temptation Vivid blue red
Quite the Thing! Deep blue plum
Supremely Confident Pale nude
Ultra Darling Mid-tone yellow pink

My Most Loved MAC Lipsticks Part II
Here's part two of my favorite and most worn shades of MAC Lipsticks in my collection. See any of your favorites?
1)Fashion Mews
This frosty light pink color launched in the Hello Kitty Collection. It's got a hint of purple to it but It's a lovely blend and a very girly, fun color to wear.
2) Dark Deed
This is another Venomous Villains launch- it's a bit comparable to Media but with a creamier, glossier finish. It's a gorgeous, deep red wine color-definitely not for the faint of heart!
3) Viva Glam Gaga
This is a pretty light pink with a blue base-I don't feel like the color is done justice on my camera:-/ But it's a nice, creamy finish and it comes off a tad bit glossy. It shows up on camera similar to Fashion mews but without the frosty finish-it's really not too similar in person, at least not on me.
4)Pervette
This color is part of the permanent line and it's a soft, lilacy pink. It goes on quite sheer and is a glaze finish. This one is a pretty unique color with some shimmer.
5) Snob
I love this color-again, it kinda resembles gaga and Fashion mews on camera but it looks a lot different on me in person. This has been one of my all time favorites for a long time. It's a lilacy, blue based light pink. I feel like this one would work on paler skin tones like mine as well as darker, deeper skin tones.
So I guess I really like pinks, huh? Haha! This isn't all though! I have a lot of lipsticks to go through yet and there will probably be one last installment to this list! Don't forget to tell me some of your favorite lipstick colors!
