look of the day: Charlize Theron

still in venice, italy, Charlize Theron, seen here leaving a charity event, look fabulous in her floral dress.

i love the feminine silhouette and beautiful breezy fabric. of course, the shoes are amazing-- the touch of metallic adds a very modern element-- and her hair is kept in loose waves, adding to her very effortless look.

beauty: what's your look?

we all have our i-know-i-look-my-best-this-way face. i know i look best with a heavier eye. it seems that anytime i attempt to do a lighter eye and dark lips, it just doesn't seem to "gel" with me (and my hsband looks at me funny...lol!)

when it comes to makeup, what is your best look?


Penelope Cruz loves her black eyeliner and nude lips.











Charlize Theron sometimes likes to bring more attention to her lips.










Kerry Washington models the fresh-face: pink cheeks and lips. eyes are lightly defined, but nothing is overdone.









so, what is your look? do you prefer a heavier eye and shear lip, vice versa or are you more of a fresh-faced gal?

look of the day: Charlize Theron

Charlize Theron looks fresh and summer-ready in a sheath dress from the Calvin Klein collection.

when it comes to simplicity, nothing beats a sheath dress. the clean lines keep the dress from overwhelming the figure. this style dress is a great addition to a woman's wardrobe because it can be dressed up or down, depending on the event you are going to.

while the sheath is slimming, it does look best on well-proportioned bodies-- top or bottom-heavy figures tend to look off-balance with this style.

Charlize accessorized her sheath dress with sunglasses, gold earrings and metallic shoes and a bag from Marni.

get charlize theron's glamour cover look

Glamour magazine sets the tone for summer with Charlize Theron on their July 2008 cover.

i love the freshness of this cover! it makes me so excited for summer: the clothes, the makeup-- so fun!











want to get this look? it's so simple, and you can mimick this look no matter your skin tone. peach blush (Dior Pro cheeks in Hip Peach) and pink gloss (Dior Ultra-Gloss Reflect in Beige Velvet) were used on her. judging by the color discriptions, these more than likely will work for you too. if not, a darker or lighter pinky-beige tone can be found that will.



Charlize's hairstyle was created using a volumizing spray and a curling iron! simple simple, i say. the magazine suggests trying Vavoom Take Me Higher Root Riser by Matrix.
