Cinema Paradiso

MANILA, Philippines - Looking at Jean Luc Godard’s best remembered films, here are some beauty scenes that go from reel to real.

Band of Outsiders: The new wave rebel never looked so hot. Pre-punk, post- suffragette, crafty Anna Karina’s Odile possesses a sexy “you can’t have me” allure that can be captured with a few deft sweeps of pigment and color. Warm mineral tones play up dark intentions in the most compelling light.

Do it: Check out Smashbox’s palettes for warm and sexy tones to play up that devil girl charm without looking like a predictable hussy. The gel cream eyeliners play up eyes in a defined and subtle manner. The subtle bronzers and eyeshadows give the rest of the face that cinematic glow. Don’t forget Smashbox’s best selling Lash DNA mascara to play up those devious eyes! All available at Beauty Bar.

Breathless: Between betrayals, Patricia (played by Jean Seberg) maintains the look of innocence. Clean skin with a flush of color is all that is needed.

Do it: Keep skin clean and nourished with L’Occitane’s Almond Mist Concentrate and Immortelle Cream. A wash of Laura Mercier’s face powder keeps the face flawless for hours. All available at Rustan’s Essenses
