OnlyOnAOL: We break down Brie Larson's Golden Globe-winning look
BY DONNA FREYDKIN
Dear reader, you already know of my abundant admiration for Brie Larson. Her film, "Room," is anchored by her performance as a mother who is devoted and defiant, fierce and frail, despondent and utterly dedicated. She's all those things to a little boy born and raised in a tiny shed, the product of rape.
It's fitting that Larson just went home with a best dramatic actress Golden Globe for "Room," the kind of movie that leaves you feeling gut-punched but also inspired. And lest we jinx anything, she's now the one to beat come Oscar night on February 28.
Larson wore a gold Calvin Klein frock to the ceremony, and she seemed to just -- glow.

Her talent is all hers. But her glam: that's due to her longtime guru, Chanel celebrity makeup artist Rachel Goodwin. She wanted to give Larson a natural, healthy glow (check!) and radiance (check!). "Cybill Shepherd and Jessica Lange in the '70s were two of my inspirations; I love that subtle glamour," said Goodwin in a statement.
Her routine:
CHANEL La Solution 10 de Chanel Sensitive Skin Cream. It's really simple and absorbs into skin quickly.
To warm up the complexion, I applied CHANEL Perfection Lumière Long-Wear Flawless Fluid Sunscreen Makeup Broad Spectrum SPF 15 in 50 Beige, then bronzed and slightly sculpted the cheeks with CHANEL Soleil Tan de Chanel Bronzing Makeup Base. I added a hint of highlight under the eyes with CHANEL Soleil Tan de Chanel Sheer Illuminating Fluid.
To accentuate Brie's lashes, I used a fine line of CHANEL Écriture de Chanel Eyeliner Pen in Noir and applied CHANEL Le Volume de Chanel Waterproof Mascara in Noir. Right at the end, I added CHANEL Illusion d'Ombre Long Wear Luminous Eyeshadow in Convoitise.
I wanted Brie's lips to look really natural, so I kept the shade simple. CHANEL Rouge Coco Stylo Complete Care Lipshine in Script gave just a hint of pink.
