See How Angelina Jolie Covers Up Her Tats; Plastic Surgery on the Rise in Iraq

MAKEUP
• Angelina Jolie manages to completely cover up her tattoos for movies and photo shoots using products from Cover FX. The oil-, paraben-, and fragrance-free products can be found at Sephora. Good news for job interviews! [StyleList]

HAIR
• Nicole Scherzinger wore her hair in a braid (with a ribbon through it) that ran all the way around her head on Dancing with the Stars last night. If we knew how to do this, we’d definitely try it. [Girls in the Beauty Department/Glamour]

• Hank Azaria shaved his head. It kind of works! [HuffPo]

PLASTIC SURGERY
• Iraqis are getting plastic surgery more and more frequently. While many patients see cosmetic surgeons because of disfigurations from the war, increasing numbers of citizens are visiting for nose jobs, Botox, and other elective procedures. However, the country only has a handful of plastic surgeons, and patients often have to import their own materials for the procedures. [BellaSugar]

Pirates of the Caribbean director Rob Marshall only wants actresses and extras with natural breasts for the saga’s latest installment. He sent a note to casting agents with his requirements, saying “Must have real breasts. Do not submit if you have implants.” Seems like an odd request for a movie whose costumes tend to pump up the cleavage. [Daily Mail UK]

NAILS
• Zoya’s new sparkle collection for summer is out. The polishes have a foil finish and range from emerald-green “Ivanka” to fuchsia “Alegra,” and they’re all perfect for a bright summer pedicure. [All Lacquered Up]

FRAGRANCE
• Fragrance sales were down 10 percent in 2009 for both men and women, though gift sets only dropped 8 percent. [Now Smell This]
