Fancy updos, classy red lips, side-swept hair and more; this year's Oscars saw the resurgence of some popular award show beauty trends from the past.

The glitz and glamour of entertainment's major award shows are nothing without the help of makeup artists who elevate the looks of stars with beauty's latest trends. This year, beauty gurus brought back classic trends such as the red lip, intricate updos, side-swept hair, barely-there makeup and sharp cat-eye liners to the event.&nbsp;
Stars among the likes of Jessica Chastain, Zendaya, Nicole Kidman, Zo&euml; Kravitz, Billie Eilish, and Lily James turned out the best looks of the night &ndash; not only from <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/fashion/best-dressed-celebrities-2022-oscars-jessica-chastain-timothee-chalamet">their stylish gowns</a>, but also through their makeup.&nbsp;
Take a look at our top 5 standout beauty trends from the <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/culture/2022-oscar-winners-academy-awards-jessica-chastain-will-smith">2022 Oscars</a> below:&nbsp;

There's nothing more regal than a traditional updo to accentuate a gorgeous gown. Better yet &ndash; if effort is put into said updo to make it look as intricate as possible. Celebrities like Zendaya, Lupita Nyong'o, Demi Singleton and first-time Oscar award-winner Jessica Chastain all opted for different variations of the classy updo &ndash; often seen on stars back in the day during awards season.
Zendaya kept hers stylishly messy while Nyong'o, Singleton and Chastain went for a more pulled-together hairstyle to better complement their ensembles.&nbsp;

We've said this time and time again, but you can't go wrong with a classic red lip. It is, after all, a trend we've already predicted to dominate 2022. As expected, stars Tracee Ellis Ross and Nicole Kidman partook in the trend, decorating their lips with a strong vermilion shade that make a statement of their own.
Ross chose to match the shade of her lips to the red of her dress while Kidman went for a contrasting dynamic to counter the pastel blue hue of her gown.

A hair trend we haven't seen in a while &ndash; the side-swept hair is back and better than ever. Decorating the heads of both Oscar-nominated actresses Kristen Stewart and Pen&eacute;lope Cruz, their neat yet shaggy hair only went to add a touch of effortless style to their smart black numbers.
Although both hairstyles are inherently similar, Stewart opted for a messier look to match her unconventional award show fit and cool personality while Cruz stayed with a more tamed version of the trend to complement her feminine mystique.&nbsp;

Think of barely-there makeup as like a first cousin to the no-makeup-makeup trend. It's not quite nothing, but more of a subtle pop of makeup on a well-prepped canvas. Artists and stars Billie Eilish, Lily James, Jessie Buckley and Alana Haim all went for a "less is more" approach to draw more attention to their hair and fits.&nbsp;
Eilish and Buckley &ndash; to emphasise their yin and yang hair colours, and James and Haim to pull focus to their eyes with a little shimmer and pink here and there.

Of course, the cat-eye liner never goes out of style. Favoured by that of actresses with angular features such as Zo&euml; Kravitz and Vanessa Hudgens, the liner adds a sharper, more defined look to their already piercing looks.
Both stars also opted for a neat updo and gowns that bared their clavicle and shoulders to add to that Catwoman-esque allure they both naturally possess.&nbsp;
