Sandra Bullock at the 76th Annual Academy Awards
Makeup by Billy B.

Sandra wanted a "just got back from St. Tropez" look. Here’s how Billy created her sun kissed and sexy  Oscar glow.
Foundation – He used MAC’s new Studio Sticks. Billy doesn’t like to put a lot of foundation on. He applies just enough to adhere to.
Powder – MAC Select Sheer Loose Powder in Translucent to set
. For TV he loves MAC Studio Fix. After foundation is applied and powder is set, he went over with MAC Studio Fix in C3 under eyes and down bridge of nose as a highlighter and C4 everywhere else buffed on with a brush. He says, "It sets well, wears well and has lots of coverage."
Cheeks – MAC Cheek. For a dewy illusion, Billy also added a little bit of MAC Studio Finish Loose Powder in Gold really lightly. He had Sandra smile and applied it on the apples of cheeks.
Eyes - Billy chose to do a smoky look with eye shadow and pencils. He applied MAC Pigment in Tan to the inner half of lid from inside corner of eye out. MAC Bronze was used on the outer corner, blending up into crease. (The outer half of the eye was MAC Bronze.) Along lash line on top lid, Billy smudged and set MAC Smolder Eye Kohl with a dark shadow. Under the bottom lash line, he used MAC Coffee pencil and smudged it into bottom lashes. He also dabbed Tan Pigment on inside corner of eyes for a nice illumination that opens up the eyes.
Mascara – L’Oreal Voluminous in Blackest Black on top lashes only. Since Sandra has tons of lashes, Billy said adding mascara to the bottom would have looked like she was wearing way too much makeup . Billy's Tip: When you do a smoky eye, take into consideration when you put on mascara, you’re going to double the look of the amount of makeup you have on.
Lips – MAC  Babied Lipglass lined with MAC Subculture.
Body- Sandra's body was make up with Studio Sticks and set with MAC Select Sheer Loose Powder. Billy dusted over this with MAC Bronze powder. When Billly does a dewy look he believes it’s always better to work with sheen powders than wet products. "Sandra left me two and half hours before the show. You need low maintenance products."
