Here, how the stars got ready for the grand return of the biggest night in Hollywood.

“Skin care is the first step of glamour,” wrote celebrity makeup artist Kristopher Buckle, who treated best actress nominee Chastain’s flawless face. The star had previously stated she was willing to skip the festivities to support her The Eyes of Tammy Faye makeup and hair team who were also nominated for an award, but whose category was cut from the broadcast. To prep her red-carpet look, Buckle shared that he used Crème de la Mer The Treatment Lotion ($180) and the Hydrating Infused Emulsion ($260), which gave her a lit-from-within superstar glow.

The Life & Beth star and Oscars co-host visited celebrity aesthetician Georgia Louise for a star-worthy pre-hosting facial treatment ahead of the evening’s events. For her base, celebrity makeup artist Mia Jones used Clé de Peau Beauté Brightening Mask Treatment Supreme ($300) and Brightening Serum Supreme ($330). To further the glow, Jones used the Brightening Enhancer Veil SPF 32 ($80) illuminating primer over the high points of her face and to contour her cheeks.

A recent devote of The Beauty Sandwich Ivan Pol, Kardashian has been undergoing a series of radio-frequency skin tightening facials that have left her looking as youthful as ever. For her red-carpet debut Academy Awards debut, celebrity makeup artist Rokael prepped her with the CurrentBodySkin LED Neck and Dec Perfector ($469). “I love using CurrentBody neck and chest mask on Kourtney,” he says. “Her neckline and décolleté looked so healthy and glowing, and really popped with her strapless gown.”
