It’s that time of year, readers! Awards season is upon us, and Amy Oresman has curated this red-carpet prep-kit that is worthy of any star (but also easy to obtain for we civilians). In fact… most of us will never have the honor of attending an awards ceremony. But, most of us will attend at least one wedding ceremony in our lives! The contents of this kit are ideal to prep for the big day, and to stash in a pretty beaded clutch for touch-ups and comfort as you dance through the night!
Curated by makeup artist Amy Oresman, these tools are the staples of pros!
Here are Amy Oresman’s picks:
REMBRANDT® DEEPLY WHITE® 2 HOUR WHITENING KIT
& REMBRANDT® DEEPLY WHITE® TOOTHPASTE
Get noticeably whiter teeth in just one 2-hour treatment with the DEEPLY WHITE™ 2 Hour
Whitening Kit for a dazzling red carpet smile. For best results, whiten daily with REMBRANDT®
DEEPLY WHITE® Toothpaste to help whiten your teeth from the inside and out.
NEUTROGENA® MOISTURESMOOTH COLOR STICK
NEUTROGENA MAKEUP REMOVER CLEANSING TOWELETTES
Apply MoistureSmooth Color Stick for sheer, shiny color to really make your smile pop. The
mango and shea butter formula leaves lips softer and smoother, even after you take it off. And
to avoid makeup emergencies on the red carpet, I always carry NEUTROGENA® Makeup Remover
Cleansing Towelettes. Say good bye to eyeshadow fall-outs and mascara smudges!
NEW AVEENO® PURE RENEWAL™ DRY SHAMPOO
Need a lift? NEW AVEENO® PURE RENEWAL™ Dry Shampoo refreshes your hair without water for
a clean, healthy look between washes. This exclusive ACTIVE NATURALS® formula is infused with
Balancing Seaweed Extract which instantly revives hair for healthy manageability. The formula is
sulfate-free and designed to remove excess oil and impurities to help boost volume.
CLEAN & CLEAR® OIL ABSORBING SHEETS
CLEAN & CLEAR® Oil Absorbing Sheets instantly soak up excess oil and remove shine from your
face, without smudging makeup or leaving behind powder. These super soft, silky sheets can be
used easily around your nose and other oily areas of your face.
VISINE® MAXIMUM REDNESS RELIEF FORMULA
Being a glam goddess can take its toll during award season – especially on your eyes. Just a
drop or two of VISINE® Maximum Redness Relief Formula soothes and protects irritated eyes and
banishes redness in seconds. Your eyes will be comfortable and you’ll be ready for your close up.
REACH® TOTAL CARE PLUS WHITENING FLOSS
To complement your daily whitening routine, use REACH® TOTAL CARE PLUS WHITENING Floss.
It’s designed to remove stains like coffee, tea and wine and removes up to 2x more plaque than
the competition.
BAND AID® BRAND FRICTION BLOCK™ STICK
Before you rock your new stilettos down the red carpet, apply BAND-AID® Brand
FRICTION BLOCK™ Stick to prevent blisters. The lubricating formula glides on smoothly to
instantly reduce rubbing from shoes, and the stick is compact enough to fit in your clutch.
LISTERINE® POCKETPAKS
I always keep this discreet solution on-hand to freshen up. Unlike gum or mints, they don’t just
cover bad breath germs, they kill them.
TRISH MCEVOY PRECISION SMUDGE BRUSH
The Precision Smudge brush is perfectly designed to blend and smudge any powder or pencil
eyeliner for a softly defined eye, or to layer color over liner for added definition, giving you a perfect natural-looking eye for the carpet.
SHU UEMURA EYELASH CURLER
The Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler is my go-to tool to put the finishing touch on any red carpet look.
Its ultimate precision delivers the perfect curl for lashes in seconds.
ESSIE’S BALLET SLIPPERS POLISH
My favorite nail color for any special occasion is Essie’s Ballet Slippers—this classic pale pink
complements almost every outfit and complexion!
EMI JAY™ HAIR TIES
To ensure your face is flawless, I recommend using Emi-Jay™ Hair Ties while getting ready. Keep
your locks out of your eyes so you can concentrate on perfecting your red carpet look!
