No matter the results inside the 2021 Oscars, just about everyone was a winner in the beauty category. From perfect hair, bold makeup, and stylish nails, awards season came to a close with an evening marked by extreme glam — and we’re living for it.

From Angela Bassett who stepped out with a cobalt blue lid to Viola Davis who stole the show with a textured mohawk, then there’s Regina King’s flawless bob and Andra Day who looked like a bronzed goddess—our film faves surely didn’t disappoint.

Behold — some of the most head-turning looks, and the products used to achieve them.

A slick wet back look crafted by Alexander Armand using Maui Moisture products, looked incredible paired with the simple yet glam face by Julia Jovone. The fresh face was thanks to celebrity facialist Iván Pol of The Beauty Sandwich who treated Simone prior to the red carpet with his signature Beauty Sandwich treatment.
