Celebrity makeup artist Sara Glick created Best Supporting Actress nominee Anna Kendrick's latest look, with both hair and makeup clocking in under 45 minutes flat:

“We really kept the vibe mellow — everyone was just having fun and enjoying the experience. Setting that as the tone, I think Anna was able to stay very calm and relaxed while taking everything in. We always have a lot of fun getting ready, and even though this is a VERY big night for her, she kept as cool as a cucumber. I would say that her easygoing personality was a great precursor to the evening.”

The inspiration? Youthful, ethereal beauty — think soft, natural glowing skin. Get the look with a page out of Sara's personal notes:

Skin: Arcona Magic White Ice
"Anna has beautiful skin and doesn't need much to make it glow. I prepped her skin with a light, all-natural moisturizer to help it stay hydrated throughout the night."

Cheeks: Tarte Natural Cheek Stain in Eco-Cheek
"For a natural flush, I accented Anna's cheekbones with a coral shade [dabbed and blended on the apples]."

Lips: Tarte LipSurgence Natural Lip Stain in Charmed; Tarte Double-Ended Natural Lipglosses in Jake & Samantha
"I wanted to create a soft, healthy pink lip with a touch of shine."

Finish: Arcona Lavender Hydrasol
"I finished with a light spritz of lavender mist for added hydration and an extra dose of calming with aromatherapy."
