And the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress goes to... Actually, we won't know who prevails until the Academy Awards show airs this weekend. However, the Odds On Favorite To Win Best Supporting Actress Award goes to Anne Hathaway for her portrayal of the tragic Fantine in "Les Miserables." 

Widely praised by critics and fans for the depth of her performance, she's predicted to be the belle of the ball on Sunday. In fact, her rendition of the musicals’ song, I Dreamed a Dream, has been called, "Raw, heartbreaking, haunting and beautiful."

Hathway's perfect porcelain skin also receives rave reviews from beautynistas. Her flawless face shows no signs of hyperpigmentation, pore congestion or premature aging. It's known as one of the clearest complexions in Hollywood.

We don't know what type of skincare products the 30-year-old Hathaway uses, but face primers often contribute to radiant skin. These glow-getters act as base coats when applied over your moisturizer and beneath your foundation. They also extend the wearability of makeup. 

To create a more finished look, some primers multitask. They provide a three-for-all for your skin with their tinting, moisturizing and sun shielding benefits. So get ready for your close-up with the following face and lash primers. You'll feel red carpet ready in no time.
