It took me awhile to think about what to write for a first post since I could not immediately decide whether it should be about makeup or movies. Then I thought why not write about both at the same time? This is quite an indulgence to list down & share some of the most beautiful looks I've seen on film. See? It's hitting two birds with one stone. These are my personal favorites so please don't take offense if you don't find your own faves here or don't exactly agree with my picks. These are all very good movies, too, and I highly recommend you watch them if you still haven't.
Amanda Seyfried as Sylvia Weis - In Time (2011)
When In Time's trailer came out, I hardly recognized Amanda Seyfried playing the lead role since she wore a deep auburn blunt bob wig and some light mauve lipstick. Now her character must have used an extremely long-lasting primer because she was wearing the same gorgeous eye makeup day in and out (without slightly budging) during the movie's fast paced dystopian story.

Keira Knightley as Vera Phillips - The Edge of Love (2008)
She's undeniably one of the prettiest faces onscreen so I doubt she needs much makeup to look, well, even prettier. Yet she looked so ethereal with her glossy red lips, feathery lashes & brown smokey eyes in the opening scene of the film where she sings
Blue Tahitian Moon. Yes, she can sing, too.

Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly - Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)
It's safe to say we'd all agree on this one, right? This iconic look is all about the eyes with the squared off and groomed to perfection brows, thick lashes and cat liner. Now it's still a mystery to me what nude-y pink lipstick Holly uses and keeps in her little mailbox...

Katharine Ross as Elaine Robinson - The Graduate (1967)
Mrs. Robinson is definitely a lot more memorable than her daughter, Elaine, but the latter's makeup remind me of how fabulous women from the 60's looked. Look at those top and bottom lashes!

Ziyi Zhang as Nitta Sayuri - Memoirs of A Geisha (2005)
Having read the novel before seeing the movie, I was already fascinated with how the author described Sayuri preparing her hair and putting on her geisha makeup - even with pigeon poo
p (or Uguisu-no-fun) being part of the beauty regimen. Seeing how these scenarios translated to film was captivating.
