Five Minute Beauty Tips

While everybody blames women that they waste a lot of time in their makeup, here is a way to channelize your entire beauty regime within a few minutes. It is nothing about how hurriedly you can make yourself look beautiful, rather it is about refining your make-up and beauty techniques for attaining gorgeous results.

Beauty Tips Make-up starter step:

The best way to start your makeup is to use a moisturizer with a built-in foundation. Many makeup experts and beauticians such as Cory Walia suggest that you should use such products which will serve a dual purpose. Mineral make-up is a suitable example.

A mineral make-up base powder will effectively cover unevenness and pigmentation on your face. Always carry it in your purse or bag. The quickest make-up fix which will be possible at any place within moments will include a mineral make-up base, a nice thick eyeliner and a shimmery lip-gloss.

Beauty Tips Hiding tired eyes

Even if you have dark circles, there are ways that will allow you to look fresh and alive after a long night. The best way to sooth your eyes suffering fatigue is to press massage them with a cool chamomile tea bag or you may also use chilled cucumber slices.

After applying them for a while, massage your face near and below eyes with a base foundation and apply a concealer cream on the dark circles. While you can smooth this concealer with your light fingers, it would be better to employ a light brush.

According to Ruhi Bindra, who is a popular hair and make-up expert, using a nice under-eye cream is good option. You should ascertain that you are using waterproof eye make-up and this is especially necessary during the rainy season.

This will save your mascara streaking down your cheeks and ruining your beautiful face.

Beauty tips How to Get Lips Sexier than the lips of Angelina Jolie

Lips are one of the most luscious parts of a woman’s body. In fact, men mostly devote their time to gaze over the buttocks, thighs and breasts of a woman. However, if they occasionally stare over the face of a beautiful girl, they will observe her lips first.

To make your lips exactly gorgeous and luscious as that of Angelina Jolie, you need to have a good plumping fix. Line your lips a little more outside the natural lipline of your lips.

The outer portion can be filled in with lipstick. You should use such lip tints or lipsticks that will not only color, but will also moisture your lips up to lipline. Moist luscious lips can certainly drive a man go crazy.

Lighter lipstick shades will also make your lips look bigger while darker shades will make them look smaller.
You should avoid using very creamy lipstick as that will increase chances of bleeding or spreading of color.

Red lipstick can be used for attaining instant glamour. To attain the bee-stung effect on your luscious lips, finish your lip make-up with dotting lipgloss on the center of your lower lip.

How to attain Instant Glow on your beautiful Skin

Many young girls complain about their lackluster skin. You may use a loofah in the shower as that will slough off dead skin cells. To attain a naturally healthy and glowing skin, exfoliate your skin regularly as that will improve the texture and tone of your skin.

Use a shimmery body lotion to apply on your skin all over the body to attain instantly brighter complexion. Girls should always use such a foundation that matches closely with their skin tone.

Avoid overdoing mascara and kajal part on your eyelids. To attain a delicious sun kissed looks, you may finish off your make-up with a Bronzer.

A five-minute make-up plan

After washing your face, apply a tinted moisturizer over your clean, fresh face.

Eyes: use black, brown or dark blue eyeliner to line your upper lid as that will make your peepers look bright and attractive.

Brush a little luminous shadow over your lid and use black mascara to open up your eyes while finishing off.

Cheeks: use a Bronzer or some rouge to dust over your cheekbones. It will define and alleviate the angles of your face in a beautiful manner.

Lips: Use a lipstick with a moisturizer to match the color of your dress or you may opt to use any simple shiny clear gloss as that will augment your natural lip color. Apply lip-gloss right at the center of your upper and lower lip to attain fuller, plumper lips just like the lips of Angelina Jolie.

Angelina Jolie Wants To Cut Sexiest Scenes From Cleopatra Role

Actress Angelina Jolie wants to shock audiences with her upcoming portrayal of Cleopatra in a new film because she wants to change the Egyptian pharaoh's reputation as a sex symbol.

Brad Pitt to marry Angelina Jolie soon?

"The kids ask about marriage. It's meaning more and more to them. So it's something we've got to look at," says Brad Pitt.

Brad Pitt has hinted he may marry Angelina Jolie soon.

The actor—who raises Maddox, nine, Pax, seven, Zahara, six, and biological kids Shiloh, five, and twins Knox and Vivienne, two—with Angelina admitted the couple's brood are putting pressure on them to tie the knot. He told USA Weekend magazine: "The kids ask about marriage. It's meaning more and more to them. So it's something we've got to look at."

Brad, 47, started dating Angelina, 35, in 2005 shortly after he split from first wife Jennifer Aniston.

Angelina has been twice married, to actors Johnny Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton.

Despite their large family, Brad insists he and his Tomb Raider star partner get plenty of opportunity for intimate time, and don't like to hide it from their children.

He added: "We tell the kids, 'Mom and Dad are going off to kiss.' They go, 'Eww, gross!' But we demand it."

The Tree of Life actor also tries to give his children as much of a normal upbringing as they possibly can, considering their parents are huge film stars.

He said: "Angie and I do everything we can to carve out some semblance of normalcy for them, to recreate the kinds of moments that were special for us.

"It's not unusual for the kids to be covered in paint. We have mud fights. It's chaos from morning until the lights go out

"We're hunted. Our kids have to live behind a gate. Outside, there are people with cameras. But I'll take the trade-off."

Kung Fu Panda 2: Hollywood works harder to win Chinese audiences

A decade ago, as China closed in on membership in the World Trade Organization (WTO), key negotiators now say, it wasn't talk of opening a huge market to grain or machinery that threatened talks: It was haggling over movies, the ultimate soft-power export.

Today, Chinese consumer confidence has soared. That has lifted movie ticket sales, which jumped 64 percent in 2010 to $1.5 billion, thanks partly to a 3-D craze and a mushrooming of cinemas in China. But what's also grown is official wariness of the influence of foreign media, so much so that Beijing – a WTO member since 2001 – has all but ignored a March WTO deadline to open film distribution to greater foreign participation, and has refused to discuss the annual cap of 20 imported films.

In late May, taking a page out of China's 1972 playbook – when Beijing gave two rare black-and-white bears to Washington's National Zoo after President Nixon's historic visit – envoys from DreamWorks Animation went to Sichuan Province bearing "Kung Fu Panda 2," part of DreamWorks's effort to establish a paw-hold in the globe's fastest-growing movie market. The China Film Group (CFG) released the film nationwide on May 27, dubbed into Chinese.

Their effort drew on lessons from the release of the first "Kung Fu Panda" in China right before the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Many loved it, making it the first animated feature film here to gross more than 100 million yuan ($15 million) in ticket sales. Others said DreamWorks's take on China's ancient culture fell as flat as its 2-D portrayal.

Fast-forward three years and the stakes are higher. Tickets costing as much as 120 yuan ($18.50) helped China become the No. 2 movie market after the United States for 20th Century Fox's "Avatar." After its January 2010 release, it went on to gross more than $200 million in China. Walt Disney Pictures's "Pirates of the Caribbean 4: On Stranger Tides" recently topped the opening weekend figures for "Avatar."

Those kind of box-office numbers get the attention of US moviemakers. They ensure that the studios will increasingly take into account not only what will fly with China's middle-class audience but also with Beijing censors, who must approve every film.

Angelina Jolie Biography

Date of Birth
4 June 1975, Los Angeles, California, USA
Birth Name
Angelina Jolie Voight
Nickname
Angie
Catwoman
Ange
AJ
Height
5' 8" (1.73 m)

Angelina Jolie is an Oscar-winning actress who has become popular by taking on the title role in the "Lara Croft" series of blockbuster movies. Off-screen, Jolie has become prominently involved in international charity projects, especially those involving refugees. She often appears on many "most beautiful women" lists, and she has a personal life that is avidly covered by the tabloid press.

In her earliest years, Angelina began absorbing the acting craft from her parents - her father is the Oscar-winning actor Jon Voight and her mother is Marcheline Bertrand, who had studied with Lee Strasberg. At age 11, Angelina began studying at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute. She undertook some film studies at New York University and later joined the renowned Met Theatre Group in Los Angeles. At age 16, she took up a career in modeling and appeared in some music videos. Her exotic good looks may derive from her mixed ancestry which is Czech, French-Canadian, Iroquois and English.

In the mid-1990s, Jolie appeared in various small films where she got good notices, including Hackers (1995) and Foxfire (1996). Her critical acclaim increased when she played strong roles in the made-for-TV movies True Women (1997) (TV), and in George Wallace (1997) (TV) which won her a Golden Globe award and an Emmy nomination. Jolie's acclaim increased even further when she played the lead role in the HBO production Gia (1998) (TV). This was the true life story of supermodel Gia Carangi, a sensitive wild child who was both brazen and needy and who had a difficult time handling professional success and the deaths of people who were close to her. Carangi became involved with drugs and because of her needle-using habits she became, at the tender age of 26, one of the first celebrities to die of AIDS. Jolie's performance in Gia (1998) (TV) again garnered a Golden Globe award and another Emmy nomination, and she additionally earned a SAG Award.

Angelina got a major break in 1999 when she won a leading role in the successful feature The Bone Collector (1999), starring alongside Denzel Washington. In that same year, Jolie gave a tour de force performance in Girl, Interrupted (1999) playing opposite Winona Ryder. The movie was a true story of women who spent time in a psychiatric hospital. Jolie's role was reminiscent of Jack Nicholson's character in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975), the role which won Nicholson his first Oscar. Unlike "Cuckoo", "Girl" was a small film that received mixed reviews and barely made money at the box office. But when it came time to give out awards, Jolie won the triple crown -- "Girl" propelled her to win the Golden Globe, the SAG Award and the Academy Award for best leading actress in a supporting role.

With her new-found prominence, Jolie began to get in-depth attention from the press. Numerous aspects of her controversial personal life became news. At her wedding to her Hackers (1995) co-star Jonny Lee Miller, she had displayed her husband's name on the back of her shirt painted in her own blood. Jolie and Miller divorced and in 2000 she married her Pushing Tin (1999) co-star Billy Bob Thornton. Jolie had become the fifth wife of a man twenty years her senior. During her marriage to Thornton, the spouses each wore a vial of the other's blood around their necks. That marriage came apart in 2002 and ended in divorce. In addition, Jolie was estranged from her famous father, Jon Voight.

In 2000, Jolie was asked to star in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001). At first, she expressed disinterest, but then decided that the required training for the athletic role was intriguing. The Croft character was drawn from a popular video game. Lara Croft was a female cross between Indiana Jones and James Bond. When the film was released, critics were unimpressed with the final product, but critical acclaim wasn't the point of the movie. The public paid $275 million for theater tickets to see a buffed up Jolie portray the adventuresome Lara Croft. Jolie's father Jon Voight appeared in "Croft", and during filming there was a brief rapprochement between father and daughter.

One of the Croft movie's filming locations was Cambodia. While there, Jolie witnessed the natural beauty, culture and poverty of that country. She considered this an eye opening experience, and so began the humanitarian chapter of her life. Jolie began visiting refugee camps around the world and came to be formally appointed as a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). Some of her experiences were written and published in her popular book "Notes from My Travels" whose profits go to UNHCR.

Jolie has stated that she now plans to spend most of her time in humanitarian efforts, to be financed by her actress salary. She devotes one third of her income to savings, one third to living expenses and one third to charity. In 2002, Angelina adopted a Cambodian refugee boy named Maddox and in 2005 adopted an Ethiopian refugee girl named Zahara. Jolie's dramatic feature film Beyond Borders (2003/I) parallels some of her real life humanitarian experiences although, despite the inclusion of a romance between two westerners, many of the movie's images were too depressingly realistic -- the film was not popular among critics or at the box office.

In 2004, Jolie began filming Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005) with co-star Brad Pitt. The film became a major box office success. There were rumors that Pitt and Jolie had an affair while filming "Smith". Jolie insisted that because her mother had been hurt by adultery, she herself could never participate in an affair with a married man, therefore there had been no affair with Pitt at that time. Nonetheless, Pitt separated from his wife Jennifer Aniston in January 2005 and, in the months that followed, he was frequently seen in public with Jolie, apparently as a couple. Pitt's divorce was finalized later in 2005.
