Oscar Nominee Carey Mulligan’s Easy Hair and Makeup Win Our Vote

We were thrilled to hear about Carey Mulligan's Academy Award nomination for Best Actress in An Education. The honor confirms what we knew all along: The girl's got talent. But we fell in love with her first and foremost because of her amazing look. On- and off-screen, Carey wears a clean, natural look that focuses on the basics: A dusty rose lipstick, lightly blushed cheeks, and strong, clean eyebrows. Her bare-bones approach to beauty complements the retro-chic look she's known for to create an effect that is at once fresh and classic. Top it all off with an adorable pixie cut and we've got ourselves a modern-day Audrey Hepburn. Bravo Carey! Here are our suggestions for achieving Carey's easy look at home.
