She's a beauty for sure and below Brett Freedman shares exactly how to get starlet Jessica Lucas' eyes, as he did them for the Big Momma's House: Like Father, Like Son premier. Click the screen below for the video!
If you don't have time to watch the video, here are Brett's highlights:
Your kit should include –
MAC eye shadow: Blackberry, Print and Nylon
Jemma Kidd School liner in Kingfisher
MAC Smolder eyeliner
eye shadow brushes: a medium size and a smaller, tighter brush
Vanitymark Ultra-Brow pencil in Milk Choco
Lightly fill in the brows behind the brow hairs. Use a brow pencil that’s one shade lighter than hairs for the most natural look. For Jessica’s coloring, Vanitymark’s Ultra-Brow pencil in Milk Choco (a medium chocolate brown) works perfectly.
Take MAC Blackberry, a neutral plum shade and apply deep into the crease of the lid, lightly up into the brow area and underneath the eye. Carry the color to the outside corner of the eye and let the colors meet there.
Using a small brush, apply MAC Print, a matte charcoal shadow as an eyeliner, keeping it tight to the lower lashline and carrying the line out and up.
Highlight the brow bone under the arch and the inner tear duct with MAC Nylon, a champagne shimmer.
Now for the edgy part. Use Jemma Kidd School eyeliner in Kingfisher as a cream shadow and brush onto the lid, making the color stronger near the lashline. Brett loves this color – it’s the perfect khaki green and even has a hint of metallic sheen.
For the finishing touch, apply a hint of MAC Smolder eyeliner to the upper and lower lash line, Ardell individual lash falsies and L’Oreal Voluminous mascara.

Guess what ladies? Spring is around the corner, and if you've spent the winter hibernating and turning flabby, it's time to start thinking "bikini body!"
John Hall, Healthy Lifestyle Coach and Celebrity Trainer offers the below tips for our trouble zones, assuring flab to fab by the time you hit the beach!
1) For a shapely butt, do kettle ball swings, lunges, squats, and glute bridges; also thrown in some sprints to keep the look lean. These exercises will help tone and lift your butt.
2) To keep your stomach flat, planks and side planks are the key. The goal is to be able to keep that position for two minutes.
3) Shoulders and toned arms are formed with overhead shoulder press, lateral raises, and posterior raises, throw in a few sets of hand walks up to complete the sculpting of your arms.
