The movie “Wanted“ has hit the movies scene and has become a blockbuster sensation overnight! I just HAVE to watch any movie that Angelina Jolie plays a role in– and believe me, you will not be disappointed. This is an incredible summer hit! I loved the action! I loved the drama! I loved the special effects! But most importantly, I loved Angelina’s incredible makeup the entire movie. Her smokey eye look was consistent throughout the movie and it only made for an even sexier look than she has ever played before!

I know what you all are thinking, how do I get those seductive and sexy smokey eyes like Angelina? Believe it or not, it is actually one of the easiest looks to do yourself. When you are going for the smokey eye, all you need are three basic none shimmer eye shadows, a waterproof eyeliner, and your favorite mascara. Oh, and don’t forget a little foundation, blush, and nude lip-gloss.

1. First, you want to work from the lash line up. So, you want to place your darkest color first. I love MAC Swiss Chocolate as my darkest color. This is a dark brown with a deep red tone to really help smoke out the eye without using black.
2. Next, use a shade lighter in the crease to help blend up the smokey brown. Always use a light highlighter along the brow line to give a contrast of light and dark of the smokey eye.
3. Then, be sure to use a waterproof black liner all around the eye, top and bottom. You can smudge out the corner of the eye along the bottom to give the true smokey eye effect. Two coats of mascara is a must!

Remember, your focus is on the eye so the rest of the face is minimal. Just a soft foundation to even out your skin tone and a wash of color on the cheeks is all you need. And don’t forget the perfect nude lip-gloss. I love LipFusion Velvet Bling Fusion.
Not only will you get the perfect nude lip, but you also can plump up with Lip Fusion technology to give you fuller more kissable lips.

The smokey eye look can be achieved with any color combo and if you need extra help, you can always try Smashbox eye shadow trios.

This way, you will always have a blend of three colors that work well together to achieve the perfect smokey eye.

Have fun! Remember, your makeup is an extension of your personality and we all want to look sexy and seductive some time! Especially like Angelina Jolie!

The summer is here and the sun is stronger than ever! Not to worry, hats are making a huge comeback this season and the trend is the bigger the better. I think Samantha on Sex and the City proves it in her huge woven sun hat on her deck she used to cover her face while checking out her gorgeous neighbor.

Hats are your summer accessory must have, but are a totally personal choice to how you want to show off your style. Here are some of our favorites that help give you some ideas.
The Kokin Floppy Ribbon Hat comes in black or white trim and you can find it at Bergdorf Goodman. It is absolutely fabulous and extremely durable, this will last all season into next!
The Juicy Couture Visor is so cute and can be worn with just about anything! You will definitely be the cutest girl out on the golf course with this sassy pink hat. Remember, hats are very personal, so style it up the way you want to show off.

Don’t forget about the summer must have! The Fedora Hat! All the celebs are sporting this one on set, off set, shopping, whatever! It is such a great way to cover up a bad hair day!

…and with Indiana Jones being all the rage among the guys, a fedora for him isn’t a bad idea at all!
