'Her main goal is to teach them how to be compassionate, fearless, respectful, humble, and curious all at the same time’It must be difficult having high-achieving parents, and Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are no exception, having set the bar unrealistically high for their children.With multiple awards and achievements under their belts, it’s a lot to live up to for the Jolie-Pitt clan: Maddox, 15, Pax, 13, Zahara, 12, Shiloh, 11, and eight-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.Not only have Brad and Ange triumphed in Hollywood winning multiple Oscars and nominations between them, they have also succeeded in every career pool they have dipped their toes in, with Angelina alone being a celebrated, actress, filmmaker, humanitarian and even a wine producer.But it turns out Angelina won’t be competing with her children or putting any pressure on them to follow in her footsteps.In fact, it seems like she cares much more about her children’s personal traits rather than their academic ones and will support them whatever they choose to do.According to HollywoodLife.com, a source close to Angelina explained, ‘Whatever the kids choose to do in life, be it acting, or writing, or waitressing, Angie will be fully behind them and support them 100 per cent.’ The source continued: ‘She’s also telling them how smart and unique they are, and that they can achieve whatever they put their minds to. Her main goal is to teach them how to be compassionate, fearless, respectful, humble, and curious all at the same time.

Kylie Jenner and Angelina Jolie pouts drives new trend of cosmetic lip tattooing in inner west

WOMEN wanting a tinted and defined pout like Kylie Jenner and Angelina Jolie is driving a cosmetic lip tattooing craze at a Five Dock salon.Sydney Permanent Make-Up Centre founder and managing director Rita Porreca has seen a 50 per cent increase in clients requesting fuller lips with a distinct shape and lasting colour compared to this time last year.The answer is lip tattooing, which is timesaving and can last as long as six years.“Everyone wants to streamline their beauty regimen and that is what lip tattoos do,” Ms Porreca said.“Many clients have had their eyebrows cosmetically tattooed and want a similar benefit for their lips with a dramatic or subtle colour which are also on show all-year-round.“A lot of younger women are doing it now because there’s an image to uphold. They are seeing celebrities on social media with perfect lips and it’s very accessible and easy to achieve.” The cosmetic tattooist, who has been tattooing lips, eyebrows and eyeliner for 26 years, said there were three ways to create the newest beauty trend – lip liner, blend or full colour.“Lip liner frames your own shape, lip blend gives a natural look but a bit bigger and full lip makes them bigger with a whole new colour,” she said.“It’s a lip tint and looks quite natural. It can never look like lipstick and have that gloss that lipstick has. It’s more of a matt look.” Ms Porreca was one of Australia’s first cosmetic tattoo artists, graduating from the International Institute of Permanent Cosmetics in the US in 1991. She said while tattooing has always been popular, people were time poor and needed to look on point all the time.“My clients come from all over because it’s such a specialty,” Ms Porreca said.“Lip tattooing is now catching up to eyebrows because people are really interested in their lips and having that beautiful big look and colour.“A lot of people just love waking up and not having to put on lipstick and reapply lipstick. I get a lot of ladies whose lipsticks bleed into their lines and want to prevent that.“Many people have uneven lips. We can correct lips. Some people have skin cancers on their lips so we can rebuild that whole shape for them.”
