What’s not as common is a celebrity that straddles the line between effortless and glamorous, like Dakota Johnson. While she may be known for her messy bangs, the 50 Shades Of Grey star is actually quite a chameleon on the red carpet — albeit a subtle one. See, instead of trying trendy looks, Johnson prefers to play up with her make up.
A Softer Feline Flick
Makeup artists have been using winged-out liner shapes (i.e. a soft, smudged cat-eye) to elongate and open up the eye for years. Instead of keeping her eyeshadow a rounded shape, Johnson’s glam squad creates a soft wing that instantly makes her eyes appear brighter.
Although Johnson typically goes soft and smoky with her shadow, she’s been known to employ bolder color and more graphic shapes on occasion. When she does, you can bet she’s still rocking a winged-out shape that brings the gaze up and out.
Smoked-Out Lower Lashline
When Johnson isn’t rocking a bold lip, she’s often seen wearing a soft smoky eye. Cop the look by wrapping a layer of black kohl liner around your eyes, then smudge with a dense eyeshadow brush
Berry Lips
Although Johnson experiments with bright reds and tawny nudes on the red carpet, the star falls back on berry lips a lot. Here, she sports a vibrant currant hue that matches the bow on her Gucci gown. (When a brand works, you work it hard, amiright?)
Red Lips for a While!
Following the current trend for bold lips, she chose a red lipstick with an orange hue, which was the perfect colour to compliment her ivory-shade dress. For her eyes, the actress used a metallic rose shade on her eyelids with all the attention focused on her luscious lashes. Dakota’s brows had the full-yet-groomed look that many celebrities are a fan of at the moment.
Even if Johnson is rocking a cat-eye, she’ll often use black liner to define her lower lashline. That simple step immediately takes her look into moodier, smokier territory.
Meanwhile, if Dakota Johnson has a beauty regret, it involves some of her tattoos, although she still continues to have more.
Jamie Dornan’s on-screen partner has a number of etches inked on her skin, but some of them she wishes she didn’t have. “There are a few tattoos I wish weren’t on my body,” she explained (via Sky News). However, as it continues to happen, she also continues to get more tattoos.
Mariah Carey continues to dig within the crates to share unreleased tracks that got off from her.
The history-making popular music diva shared an excerpt from her upcoming memoir “The Meaning of Mariah Carey,” during which she details her love for the 1980 movie “Fame” and its star, Irene Cara.
On Friday, she officially released her version of 1 of the songs Cara performed within the classic film movie, “Out Here on my very own,” which was an Oscar-nominated top-20 hit.
“My mother entered me in a talent competition in the city, and I sang one of my favorite songs, ‘Out Here on My Own,’ by Irene Cara,” the five-time Grammy Award winner shared to her 9.5 million Instagram followers. “I felt ‘Out Here on My Own’ described my entire life, and I loved singing that way—singing to reveal a piece of my soul. And I won doing it.”
“At that age. I lived for the movie Fame, and Irene Cara was everything to me,” Carey continued. “I related to her multicultural look…her multi-textured hair and, most importantly, her ambition and accomplishments.”
“’Out Here on My Own’ was such a pure song that touched my heart, and I couldn’t believe I won a trophy for singing a song I loved,” she wrote in the caption. “It was the first time I’d received validation as an artist.”
The “Vision of Love” singer/songwriter furthered: “Coincidentally, it wasn’t until after I had written about ‘Out Here On My Own’ in the book, that I found it in the vault while making ‘The Rarities.’ Totally meant to be!!”
Carey’s version of the ballad, recorded July 17, 2000, was going to appear on the soundtrack album of her 2001 critically panned movie “Glitter,” which was apparently originally titled “All That Glitters.”
Penned by Lesley Gore and Michael Gore, “Out Here on My Own” was nominated for Best Original Song at the 1981 Academy Awards.
Celebrity couples are always in the news, with their on-again-off-again romances and spur-of-the-moment weddings. Some couples, however, do a very good job of keeping their personal lives private. It’s always a shock when these couples’ relationship woes make headlines because we don’t know much about them, to begin with. Dianna Agron and Winston Marshall are one of these notoriously private pairs who recently called it quits.
Agron is an actress best known for her role as Quinn Fabray on Glee. Agron was born and raised in Savannah, Georgia, but later moved to Texas and then San Francisco. She has a younger brother, Jason. Agron was an excellent student in highschool and spent much of her time performing.
She began dance at just three years old, with a focus on jazz and ballet. She later became interested in hip-hop and musical theater. Her acting career began with commercials and supporting roles in Numb3rs, Veronica Mars, and Heroes.
In 2009, she was cast in Glee. The young actress received the news just two days before production began. After her breakout role on the hit TV series, Agron made her way to the big screen. She starred in the 2010 musical Burlesque, working with Christina Aguilera and Cher. She also played Sarah Hart in the 2011 action film, I Am Number Four.
Agron was sought out by director and screenwriter Luc Besson for a role in his 2013 film, The Family. After seeing her on Glee, Besson says he created the role of Belle specifically with Agron in mind. Belle was the daughter of a Mafioso who ratted out his cohorts, forcing his family into witness protection.
Marshall is the banjoist and lead guitarist of Mumford and Sons. Marshall was born in London and was interested in music at a very young age. He learned to play the electric guitar when he was 13 and later became incredibly skilled on the banjo.
In fact, Marshall’s incredible talent on the banjo brought the instrument into mainstream music and inspired numerous banjo players around the world.
Before making it big with Mumford and Sons, the musician ran jam nights at a local club, Bosun’s Locker. He actually met Mumford at this club. He also played in several other bands, most of which played bluegrass sleaze rap.
Later, Marshall became interested in techno and EDM and joined Austrian DJs, HVOB.
Marshall had a brief, one night fling with legendary musician Katy Perry. The were both in Germany, playing shows at different venues. They met at a nightclub one evening and later retired to Perry’s private room.

During the holidays that year, they became engaged. Fans caught a glimpse of Agron’s gorgeous engagement ring in February 2016 at London Fashion Week.
The couple was married in Morocco in October 2016. The wedding was a lavish, three-day event. Photos feature Agron in a stunning floral gown and white headdress, and camels decked out in vivid red, pink, and orange knit blankets.
Recently they announced their split. They say they’ve been living separately for the past year, and that Agron has begun dating again. There is no word on what caused the split, and friends say that Marshall was a very thoughtful husband who treated Agron like a princess.
The story of a Korean-American teen who is picked by a significant agency to debut during a 9-piece K-pop girl group sure sounds familiar … but what we actually want to grasp is when Ace Entertainment will turn Jung’s story into a Netflix drama series.
Jessica Jung only turned 31 in April and her resume already includes singer, actress, YA book author, songwriter, fashion brand creative director and founder and, most recently, YouTuber.

Later, she joined Coridel Entertainment, founded by her long-time boyfriend, business mogul Tyler Kwon, and released her debut solo album, “With Love, J”. Since then, she has actively been taking part in helping to co-write her albums, with credits for more than 10 songs.
She is seen most often with her sister, fellow K-pop star Krystal Jung. The two were much loved for their reality programme, J&K, which was even set to renew for season two, until Jessica fell out with her company – the very same one that houses Krystal.
For now, fans of their sisterly dynamics can be content with watching their vlogs on Jessica’s YouTube channel, Jessica Land. The two often travel together, making for fun videos. Recently, they attended a pottery class together.
Jung’s YouTube channel is also blooming, with more than half a million subscribers. From song recommendations to daily vlogs, and even fashion lookbooks, Jung is adept at sharing her life with her fans. Recently she handmade rings for a giveaway.
