I adore Rachel Weisz when I first seen her movie "The Mummy". A little later they came out with "The Mummy Returns" which was awesome! She came out in the public always glamorous and very simple. I have seen her in numerous shows and pictorials, I must say her Makeup artist really does a good job on her looks!

Today, I was in the mood to copy her make-up on this particular photo:

I have listed the steps below as to how you can achieve this look. I have included some dupes as well so you can copy the same look with affordable and easy to find products!

Prior to these steps you should be able to wear your moisturizer, primer and foundation already. If not skip step one.

Step 1:
Set a translucent powder under your eyes to catch fall outs.
Step 2:
Prime your lids and brow bone with MAC Shadestick in Beige-ing and smooth it out with a brush or your finger.
Put NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Yogurt on the lid. Use with a light hand and smooth it out with a brush or your finger.
Step 3:
Take your MAC 239 Brush and use the Peach shimmery color from the Fresh Mission Fig Eye Trio (available @ Sephora stores). Start by putting the Peach shimmery color from the inner corner of your eye up till 2/3 of your eyelid.
Step 4:
Take your MAC 242 Brush and use the Champagne color from the Fresh Mission Fig Eye Trio and put that just right after you put your Pink shimmery color. That should be the outer half of your lid. Don't worry about the harsh lines, you will be able to blend that later. It is important though that you won't pass on your crease line too much.
Step 5:
Grab your MAC 217 Brush and take a tad bit of the Rich Burgundy color from the same palette. Do your outer V. With a light hand gently blend it in with the Champagne color. Make your outer V a bit exaggerated by going pass your crease and into your crease area since we will be blending it later with the highlight color. Also take the same color and smudge it along your lower lash lines. If you want a much more intense effect Grab a much deeper color. I suggest grabbing the MAC Intruiging Scarlet Palette (Holiday '08 collection LE DC) or NYX Rust
Step 6:
If desired, Grab your MAC 239 Brush again and take a little bit of the Pink e/s and kind of just bring it around the outer V you just made to blend a few harshlines and create a more subtle look.
Step 7:
Grabe your favorite highlight color. I recommed MAC's Vanilla e/s using a fluffy brush.
Step 8:
Line your eyes with the eyeliner you choose. You can use Stila smudgepot in black or Physicians Formula Pen Liner.
Step 9:
Grab an angled liner brush and NYX Eyeshadow Trio white/gray/black get a bit of the black eyeshadow and go over the eyeliner to smudge it for a smokier effect.
Step 10:
Rachel's Lashes gives her signiture look
Grab your mascara. Today we'll use MAC's Zoomlash Mascara and put on Ardell 301's (Demi)
Step 11:
Clean your translucent powder with a fluffy brush to remove fall-outs.
Step 12:
Put on your blush. I suggest using a light peach blush-- Nars Orgasm will be fine. But you can opt in to use Benefit Cheekies Gotta Have It cream blush. Put it just right below your cheek bones (Not on the hallows of your cheeks) for a much natural effect. Lightly dust in Mac X-Rocks Blush to help set your cream blush and help your blush stay longer.
Step 13:
For lips use a Purply-Pink color MAC Lipglass in Negligee is the best pick!
And your are done!! ENJOY!!!
