Jolie Beaute’ 2

More of Angelina’s beauty secrets from her personal make up artist Matin Maulawizada. Appreciating what Mother Nature has given you and using that as the artist’s canvas is the fundamental principle of all naturally beautiful women.
Now that we have prepared the face, the following 4 steps enhance your features:
1. For a natural looking flush, lightly apply a single stroke of cream blush like Fresh Cream Blush in Age of Innocence to the prominence of your cheeks and blend upwards and outwards.
2. Now for the exquisite drama of Angelina’s eyes. Buy Guerlain’s Terracotta Loose Kohl Powder in Deep Charcoal Black. It is well worth it for your own red carpet events. Generously apply the powder in a thick line to the upper lids and smudge the outer triangle for a smoky effect. Now apply a thinner line to the lower lids. To further dimensionalize the eyes, apply a white shadow to the top of your lids and finish with two coats of lengthening mascara.
3. For signature luscious lips, lightly outline them with a “nude” liner. To apply the color, use a lip brush for sultry coverage. Angelina often uses a creamy lipstick like Lola Lip Cream in Cashmere. Any natural earth tone that blends with your colouring is the good.  
4. To finish, for la piece de la resistance, dust your face with a hint of Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil translucent powder to set the makeup and create a matte finish.
Remember, these techniques are successful because the focus is for appreciation of your own natural beauty rather than becoming a replica of a Hollywood Star. Enjoy!

Jolie Beaute’

Angelina Jolie is naturally, divinely beautiful. She applies the minimum amount of makeup for the most startlingly enhancing results. She also uses products that complement and the skill of a make up artist like Matin Maulawizada that completes the regimen of a radiant, breath-taking beauty that relies on what nature first gave her.
Matin Maulawizada recommends the following 3 steps for those of us who also use make up to enhance our birth gifts from Mother Nature:
1. Begin with smoothing the canvas of the face by applying a hydrating moisturizer such as Lierac Aqua D Moisturizer to the face and neck.
2. Next, apply with a sponge a light layer of a medium coverage and oil-free foundation to the face, like Laura Mercier Foundation in Honey Beige. 
3. Cover-up any redness or broken capillaries and brighten the eyes with an easy to blend concealer like Stila Cover Up Stick in Shade B.
First we prepare the artist’s canvas. Next post, I will share with you how to subtly but strikingly highlight your facial structure, eyes and luscious mouth a’ la Angelina.

Body Kisses

Everyone wants to look like the sun has kissed even the most intimate parts of their body at this time of year and each make-up company has a solution especially for keeping a natural glow and avoiding over-exposure. A solution that I prefer, that maintains the youthfulness of my skin and yet keeps me from looking like some sun-starved creature that has crawled out from under a rock, is a total body application that is easy to carry with me, does not stain my clothes, goes on evenly, and as often as I like.
