Who will bring home an Academy Award is still up in the air, but one thing’s for certain: this year’s Oscar Nominees are all worthy of recognition for their incredible camera-ready looks. Want the clean-shaven look of Javier Bardem’s character Desi Arnaz? How about Will Smith’s signature goatee?  

Gillette asked celebrity barber and Gillette Barber Council member Rich Mendoza to share tips and tools for achieving the styles of this year’s leading gentlemen so you can get red carpet ready for your next big event. Read on for his expert tips on this year’s nominations: 

Best Actor + Best Smooth Skin: Javier Bardem (above)
“Bardem rocked a classic clean shave with smooth skin as Desi Arnaz in Being the Ricardos. My go-to shave gel and moisturizer combo are the GilletteLabs Rapid Foaming Shave Gel, which cools to soothe skin and helps protect against shaving irritation, and the Fast Absorbing Moisturizer, which delivers fresh ingredients like Vitamin B3 + Sea Kelp in an ultra-lightweight form and leaves a breathable finish with no greasy feeling.”

 Best Actor + Best Clean Shave: Benedict Cumberbatch 
“While Benedict Cumberbatch’s character, Phil Burbank, certainly isn’t known for his grooming routine, he’s got award-worthy fresh skin on the day-to-day. My favorite razor for a clean-shaven look is the GilletteLabs with Exfoliating Bar. It features unique exfoliating bar technology built right into the handle which removes dirt and debris from skin before the blades pass for a smooth and efficient shave. Using this with a premium shave gel and hydrating moisturizer will leave you with the glowing, stubble-free skin you’re looking for.” 

Best Actor + Best Goatee: Will Smith
“While King Richard may have had a straggly beard, Will Smith is always rocking a fresh goatee—which is actually my signature look as well. My longtime favorite tool for achieving the perfect goatee is the Gillette All-Purpose Styler. It’s a 3-in-1 instrument that includes a trimmer, razor and precision edger so I can trim my goatee hairs, get defined lines and shave the rest of my face, all with one tool. Pair this with the GilletteLabs Quick Rinse Shave Foam to protect against shaving irritation and razor burn.
