Aside from American Idol’s group week, the Academy Awards is the TV event that I look forward to most every year. The speeches, the musical numbers, the movie clips, and of course the fashion.

While her dress didn’t stand out to me, I found Natalie Portman’s makeup to be the best of the night. It was sexy, young and included one product that I already own, which is rare and awesome.

To create this look, Stila makeup artist Jeanine Lobell used entirely Chanel:

Chanel Silky Eye Shadow Duo in Orient Expres, $40 USD
Intense Eye Pencil in Noir, $27, inside the eye
Black Inimitable Mascara, $30
Perfect Brows in Brun, $65
Powder Blush in Narcisse, $42
Glossimer in Galactic, $27

I don’t know about you, but I don’t really have like, $300 to spend on a “look.” If you’re looking for a few alternatives might I suggest:

L’Oreal Hip Duo in Charisma
Maybelline Unstoppable Eyeliner in Onyx
L’Oréal Telescopic Mascara
Cover Girl Brow and Eyemakers in Midnight Brown
Mac Blush in Well Dressed

In terms of the Galactic gloss, it’s hard to think of a drugstore alternative. Can you think of any?
