Employing everything from paint to cosmetic procedures,
Hollywood's leading men are increasingly getting a little help
to look their best on the most high-profile red carpet in the
world.
"I tell my male clients, this is not your sister's make-up. This
is a cosmetic collection that's been tailored for men," said
dermatologist Dr. Janine Hopkins.
Hopkins created the Minerals Black Tie collection to help men
cover up severe skin blemishes, but it's also being used by
celebrities who walk the red carpet.
"On the red carpet it would help to make the actor look just
more youthful, more bright eyed and not have those dark circles
showing up on camera," Hopkins said.
"Even though most of our male celebrities are quite flawless,
they're still not immune to the occasional breakout," she said.
Estheticians say that to get the best results, it's best to
start any procedures at least a week ahead of Sunday's ceremony,
where more than 60 photographers will be positioned on the 500
foot-long (152-meter) red carpet outside the Dolby Theatre in
Hollywood.

An IV vitamin infusion is one of the latest offerings for achieving
glowing skin.
"Initially it's internal because you're getting the hydration and
you're getting all of the vitamins. But the effects of the vitamins
are on the skin, on the immune system," said Joy Edwards, a nurse
specialist at Cassileth Plastic Surgery and Skin Care in Beverly
Hills.
As for the eyes, celebrities are moving away from fake eyelashes and
opting for a more natural look with lash extensions, which are
attached one by one to one's own lashes.
"The strip lashes, they look fake, they don't look real," said Candi
Maldonado at Lash Loft in New York. "Lash extensions create more
volume and extend the client's lashes ... that's why it gives a more
natural look."
