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.

Hollywood Couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie looking for on-screen reunion

Angelina Jolie

WHY IS SHE FAMOUS
When she's not busy adopting third-world children and making the world a better place, Angelina Jolie is making the world a prettier place. She has starred in thrillers like The Bone Collector (1999) and Taking Lives (2004), as well as blockbusters such as Gone in Sixty Seconds (2000), Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001), Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005), A Mighty Heart (2007), Wanted (2008), and she's currently filming Salt (2010) opposite Liev Schrieber. But it's her relationship with Brad Pitt, their UNICEF poster of a family and the blame Angelina gets for ruining Jennifer Aniston's life that have made her the tabloid favorite that she is.
Angelina Jolie Quote
"I don't believe in guilt, I believe in living on impulse as long as you never intentionally hurt another person. And don't judge people in your life. I think you should live completely free."

92 SEX APPEAL

When both men and women consistently rate you as the woman they'd most like to sleep with, you know you're sexy, possibly even the sexiest woman alive. Esquire at least thinks so, and Peoplemagazine once voted her the Sexiest Person Alive. Whether she's a blonde, a brunette or she has "Billy Bob" tattooed across her arm and a vial of blood hanging from her neck, Angelina Jolie always looks hot, even when she's not trying.

As far as we know, Angelina Jolie hasn't mauled herself via plastic surgery just yet. She is the epitome of beauty whether she's wearing a headscarf in an African refugee camp or she's donning a designer gown on the red carpet.

And those lips...

87 SUCCESS

We hate the expression "more than just a pretty face," but there's a poster girl for it, it would have to be Angelina Jolie. Jolie managed to put an Oscar up on her mantle when she won Best Supporting Actress for Girl, Interrupted in 2000, which is more than most other actresses have achieved.

Unfortunately, Angelina Jolie's highly publicized antics attracted more attention than her movie roles for many years. She seemed to be more famous for having kissed her brother at the Academy Awards than for having won one. And the fact that she and Billy Bob Thornton carried around each other's blood and admitted to having wild sex every chance they had made them demigods to tabloid writers worldwide. Then, after filming Mr. & Mrs. Smith with Brad Pitt, when he was still Mr. & Mrs. Pitt with Jennifer Aniston, she fell in love. Apparently he did too.

Controversy continued to follow Angelina Jolie in 2005, when she was accused of breaking up Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston's marriage. However, now that the dust has settled, the world has finally begun to see Angelina's positive side, including all the selfless humanitarian work she does around the world, not to mention the three children she adopted from Cambodia, Ethiopia and Vietnam.

Although her dream as a child was actually to become a funeral director, 16-year-old Angelina Jolie worked as a professional model in London, New York and Los Angeles. Musical groups and singers such as the Rolling Stones, Lemonheads, Meatloaf, and Lenny Kravitz cast her in their music videos, and even her brother James Haven Voight directed her in his student films for the USC School of Cinema.

Wishing to get even closer to pursuing an acting career, Jolie studied at L.A.'s MET Theatre Company, which also counts Ed Harris and Holly Hunter among its alumni.

She also played Billy Bob Thornton's seductive wife in 1999's Pushing Tin and starred opposite big-leaguer Denzel Washington in the thriller The Bone Collector later that year.

Angelina Jolie created controversy when she showed up at the Oscars with her brother James and kissed him as though he was her boyfriend. The two later denied rumors that they had in an incestuous relationship.

Angelina Jolie Marries Billy Bob ThorntonIn 2000, Angelina Jolie eloped with her Pushing Tin costar Billy Bob Thornton, but after they adopted a Cambodian boy named Maddox Chivan Thornton Jolie in 2002, their marriage fell apart and they filed for divorce.

Angelina Jolie Meets Brad PittAfter Angelina Jolie starred alongside Brad Pitt in the romantic comedy Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005), rumors began to circulate that the two were an item, even though Brad was in the process of separating from his wife, Jennifer Aniston.

Angelina Jolie Adopts Zahara
On July 6, 2005, Angelina Jolie adopted her second child, a 6-month-old girl named Zahara Marley from Ethiopia.

After much media attention, on May 27, 2006, Angelina gave birth to Brad Pitt's child, a girl named Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, in Namibia.

Among all the action in her personal life, Angelina Jolie amazingly managed to get some work done. In 2006, she appeared in theRobert De Niro-directed The Good Shepherd.

2007 was another jam-packed year for this busy mom. She appeared in A Mighty Heart and did voice work alongsideAnthony Hopkins in Beowulf. She was also named one of the Entertainers Of The Year by Entertainment Weekly. With a "tail" such as Angelina Jolie's in Beowulf, it's no wonder she landed in the No. 35 position on our list of the Top 99 Most Desirable Women in 2008.
