Reel Beauty: Katerina "Kat" Graham

You may know Katerina "Kat" Graham of Vampire Diaries who has supernatural powers as a witch. Reach way back into your memory and you may recall seeing her as Capri or the Strawberry Fantanas girl in the Fanta pop commercial. I am so excited to see what her future holds in the world of Hollywood. She's a triple threat, meaning she can dance, sing and act. She was a background dancer to Lil Bow Wow, Missy Elliot and Jamie Foxx and has been featured in several music videos. Random fact, she knows 5 languages. Tell me that's not sexy! Every time she steps out on the red carpet she looks amazing and her face - flawless! Follow her, because she is making strides on screen as well as in magazines with her beauty.

2. Use Urban Decay's Polyester Bride, or a comparable white shimmery eyeshadow with a loose blending brush across the eyelid ands around the tear ducts
3.  Place MAC Saddle, or a comparable soft brown eyeshadow in the outer crease of the eyes up to the brow bone
4.With a clean blush brush sweep (Iman Luxury Eye Defining Powder in Wicked) or a comparable a chrome metallic grey in the inner creases and blend the colors together so that there are no harsh lines
5. line the eyes with black eyeliner

8. With a blending brush, drag a small amount of the white shimmer used in step two under the bottom lash line
9. Contour the nose with a dark brown color

Reel Beauty: Beyonce'

Beyonce' is on the scene again after a short break to gather inspiration. I had a chance to view her new video "Best Thing I Never Had". Her makeup is flawless in this video.  It's amazing how they show her as a young girl going to prom and then fast forward to her on her wedding day. She looks so natural and her facial expressions are priceless. I feel like she lets her true personality shine through on film. Her radiance is what makes her so beautiful. She is a Reel Beauty!

Reel Beauty: Jamie Chung

Hangover 2's Jamie Chung first caught my eye in Sorority Row. I thought she was funny and had really strong beautiful Asian features.  She's is definitely making her footprint not only as an Asian American actress, but an actress period. She's a REEL beauty!

Reel Beauty: Tika Sumpter

Tika Sumpter is someone I think the world should look out for.  She is already a successful tv star having aired in the Soaps (One Life To Live) to Gossip Girl. I was surprised to see her staring in both Gossip Girl and The Game.  I was excited to watch her on Monday and Wednesday nights.  She is a great young actress and we will definitely see more of her. Her chocolate skin is so beautiful and I know girls with her skintone will be able to steal her tv looks when they wear their makeup as well as ideas for their closets.
