Natalie Portman

Makeup

For simple and elegant makeup looks like Natalie always wears, you don’t need much. The key here is to look as natural and fresh as possible. With lips, use a lip colour close to your natural lip shade and top it off with a dab of shiny gloss in the middle of your lower lip.

Stay away from too-bright blushes, or even skip it all together. If you must though, find a colour that is close to the colour of your cheeks when it gets cold out. This will give you a natural-looking flush. Cream blushes look more natural than powder because you have more control as to where the colour goes.

With eyes, use a medium brown liner on upper and lower lids, but blend the corners so they’re smudged. Use a similar brown shadow from the middle of your eyelid and sweep outward only a tiny bit. Blend it in with your skin. For an evening look, dab light pink shadow on the inner part of your eyelid crease and blend upwards.

Red Carpet

For formal events, Natalie goes for a simple look. Remember, “less is more.” Although she often wears black, the Oscar-winning actress also enjoys louder colours. Remember the rainbow-print shirtdress? Look for classic silhouettes and dresses that don’t bare too much.

Casual

This Jerusalem-born beauty teaches us a lot about going casual.

On off-days, go for a dress-down look with just a simple pair of jeans, sneakers, and t-shirt. It’s comfortable, flexible and looks great. For taller women, boot-cut jeans accentuate the legs. To minimize a big bottom, find something with back pockets. For short legs, stay away from the low-cut style (it shrinks the length of your legs) and for women with wider hips, go for a wide-cut that minimizes the thighs.

To dress up this look, simply change into stilettos.

Jewellery

Natalie tends to choose just one prominent piece of jewellery instead of loading on the bracelets and necklaces. Not a bad idea, if you ask me.

simple, yet elegant

Elegance is the theme in Natalie’s style and she keeps it simple while looking gorgeous. Attitude is also key — she’s confident, has a B.A. in psychology and speaks a plethora of languages. All in all, she is way more than just a pretty face.
