Magnificent Maleficent: Angelina Jolie's Wicked Good Smoky Eyes, Bold Lip Color & Ageless Beauty

Angelina Jolie has a lot in common with her deliciously dark Maleficent character. They both enjoy an iconic status and fearlessly follow their instincts. 

In the film of the same name, which opens in theaters today, Jolie portrays the larger-than-life villainess from the Disney animated classic "Sleeping Beauty." The fantasy adventure begins with Maleficent suffering a ruthless betrayal and then placing a curse upon the infant daughter of the kingdom's ruler. 

Although she plays the misunderstood Mistress of All Evil, Jolie brings a majestic beauty to the character. Blessed with high cheekbones, full lips, wide-set eyes and a creamy complexion, she possesses the ability to cast a spell with her looks on and off screen. 

Jolie also serves as an inspiration for women over the age of 35. The mother of six, humanitarian and fiancée of Brad Pitt turns 39 on June 4. So, in honor of her magnificent performance as Maleficent, upcoming birthday and ageless beauty, we'd like to spotlight five of her best looks--smoky eyes, bold lip color, contoured cheeks, long lashes and youthful skin. We also present ways to achieve them with beautiful blushes, stunning shadows, must-have mascaras, luscious lipsticks and glosses, and the latest anti-aging skincare products. 

May you live happily ever after!

Milestone Stunners: Celebs Turning 40 in 2013

Portia de Rossi: January 31

Happy birthday to Portia de Rossi. The former "Ally McBeal" star, author of "Unbearable Lightness: A Story of Loss and Gain" and wife of Ellen DeGeneres reaches a milestone today as she turns 40.

Not only does she deserve props for her age-defying beauty, but we'd also like to recognize her fierce philanthropic efforts. She supports several children's charities, including Locks of Love, which provides wigs to needy youngsters who have lost their hair due to alopecia or other medical conditions, and The Art of Elysium, a group of actors, artists and musicians who volunteer their time and talent to terminally ill kids.

She's also an animal lover who dedicated herself to a vegan diet in 2008. As a result, she supports Alley Cat Allies, an organization established to protect and improve the lives of felines, and The Gentle Barn, which helps heal and nurture special-needs and at-risk children through its animal program.

As we celebrate de Rossi's milestone birthday, let's take a look at other celebrities turning 40 this year. We've also compiled several products designed to help your complexion look firm, fab and flawless as your skin matures.

Here's to aging gracefully!
