glow & tell: NATALIE PORTMAN

THE GORGEOUSLY-GLOWING NATALIE PORTMAN, 
mumma-to-be and face of Miss Dior Chérie, recently shared her beauty secrets with beauty-bible, Allure mag... Here's a sticky-beak of the conversation:
When do you wear perfume?
"On special occasions. If it's a big night out with someone I love. It's like putting on nice jewellery. I think it makes every woman feel more feminine."
What's the one product you use daily?
"Joëlle Ciocco Sensitive Cleansing Milk. It smells delicious, it's really natural, and it protects my skin."
Is there any look you don't think you can pull off?
"I'm slowly being eased into red lipstick. I think it looks really chic on other people, but I've always felt a bit silly with it on."
What's a beauty trend you'd never try in a million years?
"Plastic surgery. I feel like everyone is trying to look like the same person, and it usually makes people look older than they are."
Growing up in front of the camera, did you develop any beauty hang-ups?
"When I did photo shoots, the mole on my cheek was always Photoshopped out. No one said anything to my face, but I felt like I was being told that it was ugly. Finally, I said, 'No! This is part of me. I'm not a model. I'm photographed because of who I am—and that includes the mole!'"
How do you relax when you're working?
"Acupuncture keeps me balanced and calms my nerves."
Who are your beauty icons?
"I love Audrey Hepburn, of course, with her cat eyes and thick eyebrows. And I love Lauren Hutton in the '70s with those curls and her big eyes and her beautiful teeth!"

copy-cat her MAKE-UP: DONNA KARAN'S FALL 2011 runway SHOW

HOW STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL IS THIS MAKE-UP?
The whole look is feminine and Grace Kelly-like!
To recreate this make-up yourself, here's the backstage info from Allure...
FOR THE 'CARAMEL, TOFFEE COLOURED' EYES: the make-up artist blended M.A.C. Pro Mid-Toned Sepia Cream Colour Base around the upper and lower lids for a halo effect. After curling the lashes, she applied a single coat of chocolate brown mascara, then covered the brows with foundation to "fade them out a bit."
FOR THE CHEEKS: She mixed a shimmery peach cream blush with some clear, shiny M.A.C. Pro Gloss Texture, then dabbed the mixture along the cheekbones to give them a glowy sheen.
FOR THE MARSHMALLOW LIPS: She mixed three M.A.C. lipsticks (Up The Amp, Fleshpot, and See Sheer) to create the custom pink colour.
