The Oscars are one of the most highly anticipated red carpets of the year. Rachel McAdams is one actress I’ve been watching closely this season and she didn’t let me down last night. Everything from her emerald green August Getty gown with the thigh high slit to her sparkly nude platform Stuart Weitzman heels, were perfection.
Since her gown was truly the star of the ensemble, celebrity makeup artist Mark Townsend kept her look fresh and classy. He said, “When I saw the August Getty gown Rachel McAdams was going to wear to the Oscars, I immediately knew that her hair should be up. We both agreed on a clean and sleek look to complement the gorgeous dress.”

Here’s how you can get the look in just six steps:
I started by applying NEW Dove Regenerative Nourishment Serum-in-Oil to her damp hair to nourish strands and seal the cuticle.
I then blew her out straight with my Spornette mixed bristle round brush using my trusty ghd air™ hair dryer.
Once the hair was fully dry, I went in with my ghd platinum styler and straightened her tresses section by section. This amazing flat iron features ghd’s tri-zone™ technology which allows me to style hair at the optimal temperature of 365 degrees while also giving added shine.
Next, I sectioned her hair into a deep side part, and coated my hands with John Masters Organics Rosemary and Peppermint Detangler. I used the detangler to give her hair a shiny, almost wet look, and pulled it in the back to create a textured knot.
Using French hair pins to secure the knot, I created a sleek yet imperfect shape.
I finished the look by spraying Dove Style+Care Strength & Shine Extra Hold Hairspray all over to set the look and keep any flyaways down.
The end result is classic, modern, and above all, gorgeous!
Congratulations go out to Rachel and her “Spotlight” co-stars Mark Ruffalo, Michael Keaton, and Liev Schriber for winning “Best Movie” beating out “The Revenant,” “The Big Short,” “Brooklyn,” “Mad Mad: Fury Road,” and “Room.”
