Get the celebrity look: Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie has the kind of beauty that knows no bounds. Everything about her, from her jet-black hair and famously full lips to her tomboyish and tattooed style seems to celebrate extremes. Make this brazen look your own by following these simple steps from celebrity make-up artist and creative consultant for Club Monaco Cosmetics Denise Markey:

You'll need:

• Tweezers and eyebrow make-up (optional)
• Cream concealer and brush
• Foundation (optional) and loose powder
• Pale yellow shimmer eyeshadow
• Dark brown eyeliner and cotton bud
• Deep grey eyeshadow and shadow brush
• White shimmer eyeshadow
• Eyelash curler and black mascara
• Warm rose blusher
• Nude natural pink lipstick

STEP 2 Use a concealer brush to apply a cream concealer under the eye and on the eyelid. Using your fingertips, blend well using a tapping motion. Apply foundation only where needed to even out redness or conceal any imperfections. To apply the foundation use your fingers and the same tapping motion you used to apply the concealer. If your skin is in good shape, you can skip the foundation.

STEP 3 Dab a make-up sponge into loose powder and use it to lightly pat the T-zone and the area around the eyes to control shine and set the concealer. A sponge actually gives a finer application than a powder puff. This will help prevent the powder from settling into fine lines and creating a 'crepey' look. This is a good technique for mature skin.

STEP 4 Sweep a pale yellow shimmer shadow all over the eyelid and up into the crease using a shadow brush. Using a dark brown eyeliner pencil draw a line along the top lash line. On the bottom lashes start at the outer corner and only draw the line a third of the way in. Use a cotton bud to lightly smudge the liner for a soft, smoky look.

STEP 5 Working with a deep grey shadow, use a brush to apply the colour to the outer corners of the eyes, taking it half way into the crease. Using a fluffy shadow brush, blend the colour well by running the brush back and forth in a dusting motion. With a liner brush layer the shadow over the eyeliner pencil. This will help the liner wear longer and add to the smokiness of this look. Under the eyebrow apply a white shimmer eye shadow and blend well. Curl the lashes using an eyelash curler and apply lots of black mascara to the top and bottom lashes.

STEP 6 If your brows are fine on their own, just brush them and that's it. If they need a little extra definition, use a brow powder to softly fill in any areas where they may be scant. The goal is to keep the brow soft and natural, you don't want them to look too 'done'.

STEP 7 For a natural blush, use a sheer, dewy cheek colour in a warm rose. Use your fingers to apply this colour to the apples of your cheeks and blend by lightly tapping the cheek, tapering the blush toward the temple.

STEP 8 Since the emphasis of this look is on the eyes, you want to keep your lips very subtle and fresh. Apply a nude, natural pink lipstick using a lip brush. Blot the lip colour with a tissue to remove excess. There is no need to use a lip liner; you want your lips to look soft and undefined.
