We love the dramatic, smoky taupe eye Cruz wore to the awards. Celebrity makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury filled in the star's brows for a Sophia Loren-inspired arch and used the Charlotte Tilbury Dolce Vita palette (launching Fall 2014) and black kohl liner to create an "elongated feline eye."

Jessica Biel proved that minimalist makeup isn't going anywhere. Using CK One cosmetics, celebrity makeup artist Kayleen McAdams played up the pastel tones in the star's gown. She used Ck One Cream + Powder Bronzer Duo in Deeply Bronzed 400 all over the lid and Ck One Powder Eyeshadow in Expose and Evolved on the inner and outer corners and along the lash line. Volumizing mascara, soft blush and lip balm completed the look.

Celebrity makeup artist Melanie Inglessis gave the Revlon Brand Ambassador and mom-to-be a 60s-style cat eye that complemented her Brigitte Bardot-inspired updo and black Valentino gown. "We wanted the look to be simple and classic," says Inglessis. "I created a very precise eye that makes a statement but still works well with her fresh skin and light peach lips."

To get the look, she prepped skin with Revlon PhotoReady Perfecting Primer and mixed Revlon PhotoReady Makeup liquid foundation with Skinlights Face Illuminator for a dewy glow. For the cat eye, Inglessis used Revlon ColorStay ShadowLinks in Taupe and lined the eyes with Revlon ColorStay Eyeliner in Black and Liquid Liner Blackest Black before applying Lash Potion Mascara. She kept the lips simple with Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm in Complex and Super Lustrous Lipstick in Pink Cognito.

Glowing skin and bold brows were the cornerstones of Alves's natural makeup look. After prepping the skin with VBeauté Anti-Wrinkle Protecting Serum and Nourishing Repair Eye Cream, Celebrity makeup artist Patrick de Fontbrune applied Votre Vu Attentive Crème du Jour with a brush for extra hydration before dabbing on Votre Vu Love Me Deux tinted moisturizer. "Camila has perfect skin so the Love Me Deux provided just enough coverage," he says. To make her naturally full brows look even better, he penciled them in with Votre Vu Arch de Triumphe in Dark Brown.

Celebrity hairstylist Robert Vetica used Vidal Sassoon Pro Series to achieve the Best Actress winner's Old Hollywood waves. He prepped the hair with Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Boost & Lift Foaming Air Mousse before creating a low side part and blow drying. Then he used Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Heat Protect & Shine Spray and a curling iron to create the waves. After the waves cooled, he brushed them out and locked them in place with hairspray.

The Oscars are always filled with glamorous celebrity moments, and this year was no exception. The designer gowns, tear-jerking acceptance speeches and host Ellen DeGeneres's celeb selfie that broke the record for number of retweets (and briefly broke Twitter!) were just a few highlights. But as always, it was the beauty looks we couldn't get enough of -- and we'll be turning to them for inspiration for months to come. Since we could never pick just one, we gathered our celeb favorites in hair, makeup and nails at the 2014 Academy Awards, and included expert tips and get-the-look details.
