Get camera ready for the Oscars with these "Red Carpet" remedies

 Holy Hollywood, the Oscars are right around the corner. Whether you'll be walking the walk on the Red Carpet, going as a guest, or simply sitting in the stands, you will want to look your tinsel town tops.

After all the competition will be pretty darn stiff during the 84th Academy Awards, February 26, at the Kodak (http://www.oscars.org/ )Theatre. Part of the fun of going to the Oscars is having spectators look at you and ask, "Are you anybody?" No joke it's happened to us quite a few times, usually when dressed for the part.
 
Anyhow one of our favorite beauty houses devised these tricks of the trade, with products readily available throughout Los Angeles (see below) to get you Red Carpet Ready:
