In light of the catastrophic events that have deeply affected Japan, Shiseido — parent co. to NARS and Cle de Peau, as well as the signature brand — has generously donated 100 million yen (around $1.2 million) along with supplies like hand soap and waterless shampoo.

Hopefully, many more in the beauty industry will step up in the days to come! Whether it's an immediate donation, fund-raiser or supply drive, we urge everyone to get involved.

Get the Look: Anne Hathaway's Picture-Perfect Complexion

Recreate Anne Hathaway's latest look with this step-by-step guide, courtesy of celebrity makeup artist Kate Lee:

"Annie wore a gorgeous winter white gown, featuring lace and feathers,and a big bow at the neck. When I saw the dress I knew that the makeup needed to be beautiful but approachable. So I first I prepped the skin with Chanel Hydramax+Active Serum and Chanel Hydramax+Active Lip Care on her lips. Her complexion was smoothed with Chanel Vitalumiere Fluid Makeup, the miracle foundation. Her skin is perfect, but this base makes the skin look milky and soft, has great staying power, and is never dry or flakey.

Next, I drew a very thin line next to her lash line, with a super fine black liquid brush liner by Shiseido that I bought in Japan. Taking care not to wing out the eyes past the end of the natural lashes, I ended in sharp little upward points. To finish the lines, I added a little black matte shadow to the outer corners, to soften. I then curled the lashes, and applied Chanel Inimitable Waterproof Mascara in Noir to the bases of the lashes, adding clusters of feathery strip lashes, which I customized for Annie's shape. On the lids I applied a mixture of silvery and pale gold creme shadow from the Nars Thebes palette, and then used Chanel Éclat Lumière in Beige Rosé to lift the brow bone, the inner corners and the outer lower corners, which sharpened the line. I groomed and perfected Annie's eye brows with Anastasia Brow powder and setting gel.

Annie's cheeks were Laura Mercier creme blush in Praline, a neutral peachy nude, which I love to use when I don't want a specific shade. Finally, on the lips I applied Chanel Ultra Wear Lip Colour in Cristal Rose (available January 2011). I love this color, as it is transparent enough to see your own lip color behind it, but will not be moved! It also comes with a transparent gloss, which you can use to add moisture throughout the evening."
