Video Chatting: A Beautiful Thing on the New iPhone 4

Techies, rejoice: Reports on the new iPhone 4 are finally here (it'll be available June 24), and one of the gadget's major bragging rights is a built-in video calling feature named FaceTime. This will allow users to call other iPhone 4 users and chat while simultaneously watching each other's every move on their phone screen.

Now while this is truly terrific for families separated by an ocean or, say, couples in long distance relationships, it does add a bit of pressure in the beauty department: Now people have to look good just to pick up their cell phones?! Here are a few pretty little tricks for looking sharp in high resolution.

Make eye contact:
Define your eyes and intensity your gaze by lining them with a thin pencil. We like Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Zero.

Wink, wink:
Lengthening mascara will make eyes appear larger, helpful on a small screen. We're loving Cover Girl LashBlast Volume Blasting Mascara.


Look alive:
Perk up your complexion with a good dusting of bronzer. Just a hint of golden warmth will make you look healthy and well rested. (And who doesn't need help in that department?) We love Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess Soft Duo Bronzer.

Speak up:
Lips must stand out while you talk on, and on, and on. So a long-lasting lip color is essential. We like Revlon ColorStay Soft & Smooth Lipcolor.

Refresh your hairstyle:
A bottle of dry shampoo stashed in a purse can quickly save strands from a limp situation. We like Klorane Gentle Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk.
