beauty queen: natalie portman

We love this photo of Natalie Portman's summery look against the trees (she's in Bel Air, but it almost looks like she could be somewhere tropical). So today's makeup tips are inspired by our fantasy weekend getaway. Here's the makeup we'd pack (note: can also be worn in sweltering hot NYC):

DEFINE IT:Sephora Waterproof Brow Pencil, $12 Our favorite trick: define your brows, so you'll need less eye makeup.

LASH IT:CoverGirl Clump Crusher Mascara, $6.89 This vacation is clump-free.

BLUSH IT:Dior Rosy Glow Awakening Blush, $44 Until we've vacationed long enough to not need any, this is what we use to get a healthy glow.

PINK IT:Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment in Petal, $22.50 Give your lips a hint of color and protect them from the sun all day. Don't forget to protect your skin too. Use TONS of sunblock and have a great weekend, wherever you end up.
