Angelina Jolie
To bring more ceks appeal to Jolie's tough character, hairstylist Colin Jamison went for a looser look in the sequel. "We wanted to bring more femininity to Lara Croft," he says. But he still had to adhere to the already created Croft in cyberspace. "This style is unique to the character, but Angelina wanted it a bit more delicate in a casual sort of way," he says. Jolie arrived each day with her hair washed and conditioned with KMS Silker shampoo and leave-in treatment. "It doesn't make the hair too soft but still protects it and gives it a silky finish," Jamison says. Then he applied a dollop of KMS Hair Stay sculpting lotion to the roots of her dry hair, which helped prevent loose ends. After braiding and twisting three cornrows near her forehead, he pulled all of the hair up into a high ponytail, "always a flattering do for any woman," he says. He put a few more sparse braids throughout her long, thick, brunet mane and secured the ceksy upsweep with KMS Max Hold spray. A girl's got to keep her hair off her face when she's kicking butt.
 

The good girl makes good again. Forget Jennifer Aniston's much copied Rachel hairstyle and perfect highlights on Friends. To play Grace, a day-care worker in blue-collar Buffalo, N.Y., and loyal girlfriend to Jim Carrey's God-endowed "almighty" Bruce, Aniston got yet another beauty make-under. "The look of this character is very different from the way people see her as Jennifer Aniston Pitt," says her longtime hairstylist, Chris McMillan. Makeup artist Valli O’Reilly explains, "My goal was to enhance her skin. It's not a no-makeup look; Grace is not a farm wife, but she is an everyday, fresh-faced Breck girl." Even with the Hollywood glamour toned down a notch, Aniston still shines while Carrey yuks it up in this funny romp.
 

Elizabeth Hurley
"Elizabeth loves her skin to feel moist," says makeup artist and hairstylist Tracey Lee. So she used Estée Lauder Lightweight Re-Nutriv Creme before applyng Estée Lauder Lucidity foundation in Outdoor Beige. Next she dusted on Estée Lauder So Ingenious powder. Last, she applied Estée Lauder Pink Sand powder blush on cheeks. "Elizabeth's favorite makeup item is blush," says Lee. "She thinks she looks frighteningly corpselike without it!". Lee simply ran Estée Lauder Soft Brown eye pencil along lash lines, then smudged it with a brush. She added a touch of Estée Lauder Color Intensity eye shadow in Hazelnut on lid creases and finished with Estée Lauder Illusionist mascara in black. Lee used Estée Lauder Crystal Baby lipstick, then topped lips with Vaseline. To add lift to Hurley's fine strands, Lee used "gallons" of Phytologie Phytovolume Actif spray on damp roots before blow-drying hair straight with a round brush. Then she worked Phytologie Phyto 7 cream into ends to smooth them out. For hold, she spritzed hair with L'Oréal Elnett hairspray (available only in the U.K.; for a similar effect try L'Oréal Studio Line Fast Forward hairspray).
 
 

"Shania's got dark green eyes, really wonderful color," says Martin. "But she had some allergy problems, so they were a bit teary," which, when mixed with bright lights and a wind machine, wreaked havoc with the eye makeup. "One day on the way to the shoot I came up with the idea of using waterproof mascara as both mascara and shadow." She used the back of her hand as a palette and took "gobs" of Bourjois Aqua Volume mascara in black and quickly brushed it on lids "because that stuff dries quickly" and into the crease, extending it just beyond the sides of the eyes to create a wing effect. She then applied false lashes to give a feathered look and topped them with MAC Pro Lash Colour in Periwink-wink to make them blue black. She lined lips with Stripdown pencil, applied Lipglass in Lust in the center, and mixed Oyster Girl and Chai elsewhere on the lips
 

Renee Zellweger
"This was the most fun I ever had working on a movie," says costume designer Daniel Orlandi. And the clothes reflect that. Orlandi and a crew of craftspeople worked for two weeks to design a wardrobe for Zellweger that was, in his words, "an homage to the Doris Day-Rock Hudson comedies of the early sixties." "It was all about the clothes," he says. "Everything is modern—matching hats, gloves and shoes, a sleek silhouette." Rather than rely on vintage pieces, he designed looks that were reminiscent of the Givenchy ensembles worn by Audrey Hepburn, such as the plaid suit shown here (worn with a Patricia Underwood hat). Zellweger wears mostly evening gowns and cocktail dresses with big Balenciaga-style capes in the movie, none of which are seen twice. And the icing on the cake? Custom-made Manolo Blahniks for every outfit.
 

"I love smoky eyes," Presley says. Makeup artist Mathu Anderson used MAC Smolder eye kohl on both upper and lower lash lines and inside the lids, extending past the corners, to get the look. "Lisa Marie's eyes have a sleepy kind of quality—I guess you'd call them bedroom eyes," says Anderson. "And she's got an interesting bridge of her nose and forehead, powerful for a woman. Her face is almost like a lioness. She can take a lot of makeup." For the lips Anderson used MAC Spice lip pencil to line them, then applied MAC Lipglass Stain in Beta Brown.
