Reese Witherspoon has never looked hotter, thanks to a sexy new look that’s been turning heads all over Tinseltown. The starlet sizzled at the 2007 Academy Awards, ruling the red carpet in a show-stopping Nina Ricci gown, straight tresses, and ultra-glam makeup. Her knockout look instantly became a red carpet favorite.

In honor of Reese’s smokin’ hot new look, Bagtrends talked to Zohar Wolf, makeup artist extraordinaire and Business Manager, shu uemura at Barney’s New York, who showed us how to recreate Reese’s Oscar look. According to Zohar, Reese kept her makeup minimal, choosing natural, orange-based shades – like apricot and peach – to complement the vibrant purple color of her dress. Smoky eyes and nude lips completed the look.

Here’s how to do it:

	Foundation: Zohar recommends shu uemura's Water Perfect Water-In Cake Foundation ($32.50) for its warm undertones and creamy texture, which will create a fresh, dewy glow like Reese’s.
	Blush: Pick a soft, peachy powder blush (Zohar recommends shu uemura’s “Glow On” in Vicious Apricot from the Paradox Mode Makeup Collection, $21.00) to create a “candlelight glow”.
	Lips: For soft, natural lips like Reese’s, aim for a natural, peachy-beige lipstick. Zohar combined two colors to create “a sheer wash of warmth”. His picks: shu uemura’s “Rouge Unlimited” lipstick ($23.00) in Champagne Shimmer (a “warm nectarine”) layered with Soft Salmon Rose (a “natural melon”).
	Eyes: Reese chose to emphasize her eyes, leaving the rest of her face fairly natural. To get her look, Zohar recommends lining top lids with a dark navy liner, which “brings out the blueness of Reese’s eyes”. Zohar’s pick: shu uemura's Liquid Eyeliner ($33). Then, to really make eyes pop, Zohar says to apply individual eyelashes to the outer corners of the eye, followed by a coat of black mascara, with an extra coat on the outer tips (try shu uemura “Mascara Basic” in Black - $27.50).

FINAL TIPS:
Deep colors like purple tend to emphasize dark under eye circles, so be sure apply lots of concealer! Zohar recommends a yellow-based version to eliminate dark spots.
