And though there has been a statement smoky eye here and a red lip there, the overwhelming trend this year has been ultra-natural, barely-there finishes- like soft-focus lipstick and solo eyeshadow looks. The Oscars, however, saw a few celebs break the mould, with Kate Hudson, in particular, debuting a very wearable take on classic red-carpet glam.
