Priyanka Chopra’s Dr. Althea Oscars Glow

Priyanka Chopra’s Oscars beauty look didn’t start with foundation—it started with skin that was already doing most of the work. Celebrity makeup artist Morgane Martini leaned fully into that philosophy, turning to K-beauty favourite Dr. Althea to build a complexion that looked fresh, hydrated, and camera-ready long before makeup was even applied.

As Morgane explained, the brief was simple: glowing skin that could hold up under intense lighting without looking overworked. The approach? A layered prep routine that focused on calming, smoothing, and locking in hydration so everything that followed would sit seamlessly.

She began with the Dr. Althea Stretch Fit Cooling Pads, applied across the face like a second skin. The flexible texture hugs every contour, instantly cooling and resetting the complexion- exactly what you want before stepping into hours of flash photography. After 10–15 minutes, the skin already looks more even and refreshed.

Next came the Dr. Althea ABC Glow Whipped Serum, massaged in using upward circular motions. This is where the glow really starts to build. Lightweight but deeply hydrating, it creates that soft, radiant base that reads beautifully on camera without relying on heavy layers of product.

To seal everything in, Morgane pressed in the Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream across the face and neck. This step is less about shine and more about balance -keeping the skin calm, plump, and consistent so makeup doesn’t shift or cling throughout the night.

For the under-eyes, the Dr. Althea Retinol Flat Iron Eye Roller added a targeted boost. Rolled gently along the orbital area, it smooths texture, helps reduce puffiness, and preps the skin so concealer applies cleanly and stays in place.

Sunscreen was the final step before makeup, with the Dr. Althea Aqua Glowing Sunscreen adding both protection and a subtle luminosity that enhances the overall finish rather than masking it.

Morgane summed it up best: when the skin is properly prepared, makeup becomes an enhancement, not a fix. And for long events like the Oscars, she keeps the Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream Mist on hand – an easy way to revive hydration and bring the glow back without disturbing what’s already in place.

It’s a reminder that the best red carpet beauty often comes down to what you do before the first brush touches the skin.
