Real Beauty: 5 Minutes With Lindy Klim

We have a little confession to make... We've recently acquired a very big crush on Lindy Klim — Michael Klim's super stylish (and gorgeous!) wife.

We have a little confession to make... We've recently acquired a very big crush on Lindy Klim — Michael Klim's super stylish (and gorgeous!) wife. She's not only a Balinese princess and former model, but also co-founder of the couple's burgeoning lifestyle brand, Milk & Co. A largely organic range, Milk & Co launched back in 2008 for men and babies, but the pair is currently working on a Milk By Lindy Klim line, as well as apparel. Recently listed as a finalist in the beauty category for the annual InStyle and Audi Women of Style Awards, we sat down with Lindy to quiz her on all things makeup, skincare, life in Bali and more.

2013 Fall NYFW: Jenny Packham Modernises 17th Century Opulence

The pared down beauty was simple, but thoughtful at the Jenny Packham Fall 2013 show.

The pared down beauty was simple, but thoughtful at the Jenny Packham Fall 2013 show. Because the pieces in the collection — from the clothes to the jewelry and handbags — were so ornate, the team of hair, makeup and nail pros left the beauty look a little understated yet elegant.

The look: A loose ponytail with a ribbon, glowing skin, and a gradient glitter manicure.
The inspiration: 17th century opulence.
Trends: Nail art.

Try a Romantic Smoky Eye Like Rooney Mara

It's easy for a girl to get torn between a romantic, whimsical look and a sexy, sultry one, but Rooney Mara showed us how to perfectly mesh the two.

It's easy for a girl to get torn between a romantic, whimsical look and a sexy, sultry one, but Rooney Mara showed us how to perfectly mesh the two. The Side Effects actress was out last night wearing a smoky eye that was more ethereal than edgy. Instead of moody metallics and blacks, Rooney smudged grays and lavenders. The result was a soft shadow look that was perfectly balanced with her bold brows and sleek dark hair.

The trick to this look is blending and diffusing. Swipe on a shadow like Napoleon Perdis Color Disc in Clean Slate ($29) on your lids and then kick it out into a cat-eye shape. Then, blend a soft purple hue like Jane Iredale Purepressed Eyeshadow in Platinum ($30.60) into the crease. Using a fluffy shadow brush, blend the two shades together until they seamlessly melt into one another. Skip your eyeliner, but add at least two coats of a volumizing mascara like Laura Mercier Full-Blown Mascara ($50). For the final touch, don't forget a soft pink on your cheeks and lips. You'll look heaven-sent.
