Supermodels Go Without Makeup in September Issue of Harper's Bazaar
Filed under: News
Perhaps not a huge surprise, even with a few wrinkles here and there, they all still look supremely gorgeous -- especially 43-year-old Crawford.
Her anti-aging secret? "Women forget to take care of their décolletage, and it shows their age," she tells the magazine, adding that she protects her chest and complexion with her own skincare line with Jean-Lous Sebagh, Meaningful Beauty.
"I live in California, so I wear sunscreen every day, even if it's
cloudy," says Valletta.

"Your hair texture changes as you age; mine used to be a lot more smooth," says Crawford. "I use Moroccanoil Treatment to keep it hydrated."

"What I eat affects my skin," says Schiffer. "Anything that's heavy, like dairy or sweets breaks out my complexion and it doesn't look as fresh. When I stopped eating dairy, my skin looked nicer."

Helena Christensen, 40
"After I get the microdermabrasion and green-tea facial, my skin feels unbelievably soft and dewy," says Christensen of her favorite services at Christine Chin Spa in New York City.

I had been overweight for the past five years. I had tried almost everything in the market, right from taking diet pills to enrolling in a gym but nothing really worked. Yes I did lose a few pounds but nothing substantial. It was then that a friend recommended Acai Slim ( http://cli.gs/AcaiSlim ) to me. I have been using the product for about a month now and have slimmed down considerably. I have actually started to wear all those dresses that I had put off for so long. The product is definitely one of the best weight loss products in the market today. I have already finished two bottles of Acai Burn and am on my third bottle now. It totally changed my life! Not only did I lose a lot of weight quickly, I have also never felt more energetic and so full of life!

ACAI-EEZ IS A SCAM. IT WON'T HELP ANYONE LOSE WEIGHT
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Consumers should be skeptical of health and weight-loss claims of the increasingly popular Brazilian fruit, acai.
The Center for Science in the Public Interest said companies offering free trials of diet pills made with the acai berries have bilked thousands of consumers using fake celebrity endorsements and blogs to lure customers.
Acai (pronounced a-sigh-EE) comes in a number of forms including juice, pulp, powder and capsule. The berry has been touted as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and an antibacterial. The fruit is said to contain Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, which are essential to human health.
Claims of weight loss are unfounded, said the CSPI.
"There's no evidence whatsoever to suggest that acai pills will help shed pounds, flatten tummies, cleanse colon, enhance sexual desire, or perform any of the other commonly advertised functions," according to the organization's press release.
Acai's popularity has surged on bogus marketing claims, said Jonny Bowden, a certified nutrition specialist and author of several health books.
"Virtually every berry -- blueberry, strawberry, goji, acai -- are anti-inflammatory and high in antioxidants," Bowden said. "This particular one is exotic. It's found in Brazil. It's been marketed to have more of a magic ingredient. It's been over-hyped and marketed to death. There are claims to curing cancer, curing baldness that is all over the place."
Like most berries, acai has good nutritional qualities, but "there is not a drop of research" that supports marketing claims that it prevents weight gain and facial wrinkles, Bowden said.
Acai juices sell for as much as $40 per bottle.
"The expensive acai berry is triumph of marketing over science, that's the bottom line," Bowden said. "It's not useless, but it's not anything that people are claiming it is."
After a doctor listed acai as a healthy food on the Oprah Winfrey show last year, and a guest on Rachael Ray's cooking show mentioned the fruit, ads popped up directing consumers to sites selling acai weight loss products as if endorsed by the celebrities. Winfrey and Ray have publicly disassociated themselves from those sites.
Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal is investigating numerous complaints and said a lawsuit against FWM Laboratories is very likely.
"There are no magical berries from the Brazilian rain forest that cure obesity, only painfully real credit card charges and empty weight loss promises," Blumenthal said. "Aggressive acai berry pitches on the Internet entice countless consumers into free trials promising weight loss, energy and detoxification. These claims are based on folklore, traditional remedies and outright fabrications unproved by real scientific evidence."

As a make-up artist I know how important lips are to any woman, whether supermodel or super-mom. I'm therefore always up for trying something new, but after being disappointed with the performance of other lip plumpers I was not expecting too much from Cushy Lips.
I owe it to my clients though to keep up to date on new cosmetics so I gave it a shot anyways. I have to say it without a doubt outperforms any other lip plumper of its type on the market. It does really visibly increase the size and softness of your lips, and it has a very pleasant texture to it. When I did the make-up for a photo-shoot last week I used Cushy Lips on the models, and afterwards all of them wanted to know what I had used on them so they could go out and buy it as well.http://tinyurl.com/sexylips1

Acai-eez Burn contains Green tea extract, grapefruit, apple cider as well as other potent fat burners. Get your facts straight. They never auto bill, like the other companies like Acai Slim and Mr. Power Colon Cleanse that rip you off. Acai is a super food, but when combined with the other components you get on hell of a fat burner. I know I take it daily. I have been following you around. You guys post all these companies and bash everyone else's products or thoughts. Acai-eez is the only company that NEVER auto bills! Check them out http://www.Acai-eez.com/

Anyone who says the ACAI diet works is a liar. The only thing you will get that works is a whole Lotta charges to your credit card that you did not approve of. Check the better business bureau and see the horrible ratings for this company. They will rip you off!

Emma,
So... you "Even tried getting a gym membership?"
Lady, did you actually use the membership, that is the only way it will work.
Here's the ugly truth...as we age, our lean body mass decreases, thus lowering our metabolism. It's not impossible to combat.
What you do...
1. Take your weight loss berries and flush them down your toilet along with any diet pills you may have
2. Go to the gym.
3.Do resistance training (this is simply using weight training) LADIES, THIS WILL NOT MAKE YOU BULKY, THAT'S A MYTH. Resistance training WILL increase your lean body mass so that you burn more calories
4. If you don't know how to use the equipment, invest in a
personal trainer. At least to get you started. I have seen a lot of overweight people sweating on treadmills and stair-climbers. Cardio wokouts alone won't cut the fat.
5. Go on a sensible diet that includes mostly plant-products. Try to cut down on red meats. You will need more protein from other sources as your body can't digest the proteins in red meat as well as other proteins (ie; Fish, Legumes, Egg Whites, Raw nuts, Soy or a number of mock meats made of vegetable protein). Raw fruits and vegetables are important as are whole grains like brown rice or Oatmeal. Drink plenty of water.
Beware of foods that are labeled at Light or Diet; may contain a sweetener called, Fructose or High Fructose Corn Syrup. The verdict is still out on this additive. I think the worst aspect is that your body can't digest it properly due to it's processing.
Bottom line, there is not Quick Fix to weight loss. It will require some work and dedication. Trust me, stick with it for about a year and you will be amazed.You will be lean, healthy and full of energy. You'll never want to quit your gym membership. Invest in your health first.

HOLY SNAPPING DINGLE BERRIES!!! The first nine comments are spam! Come ON people, stop paying attention to these cretins, their crap is over priced even for stuff that actually works and most of their sites are polluted with viruses and will clean out your computer! Vote them down and avoid them like the plague!!!!!

Working as an esthetician I always get people asking what they can do about their wrinkles and cellulite. For wrinkles I tell them about ResV Derm http://TrulyFlawlessSkin.com and how it is an incredible anti-aging, anti-wrinkle cream that contains the most potent, doctor grade, wrinkle erasing ingredients that tone and tighten the skin for a smoother, younger face. It's much better, safer, and less expensive than Botox. They always come back to tell me how great it is and how much younger they look. It’s a great product and I back it up 100%. http://TrulyFlawlessSkin.com
For cellulite problems I always recommend http://cli.gs/CelluliteSolutions a cellulite toning system that is clinically proven to smooth cellulite and firm in as little as 72 hours.

This is NOT an ad, but a real comment, to wit, anyone who believes these photos are neither without cosmetic and digital retouching is naive to the max. I worked in the modeling industry for years, and it's insulting that these photos are disseminated as "natural". At least one of the models is wearing lashes...another's lashes may be permanently dyed and cosmetically enhanced. There's tons of other stuff. Occasionally, the tabloids show celebrities REALLY bare-faced and those aren't glamorous. In fact, most actors and models are not as gorgeous in real life as they are through the lens; THAT's the talent. A lot of great-looking people simply don't translate elegantly to two dimensions. A few models really are that beautiful...Lauren Hutton, for instance, was a stunner in the flesh, but most -- and I've seen three out of these four in-person -- are simply more normal looking without all the enhancement. This doesn't make them lesser models. I offer all this only to suggest that the young women who measure their own looks against these supposedly "natural" images should be alerted to the false gods.

Your comment was buried in spam, but I agree. These models are obviously wearing eye makeup, so why should we believe they have no other makeup on?
I'm not a makeup professional, I'm just an average woman who is not an idiot.

Nikki Vee = thank you for your comments
these are not natural
it is well lit = black and white
I would truly love to see these gals not lit in bright light having their photo taken
they are still made up or blemishes are concealed as well as wrinkles or else the photographers ' light is so bright that nothing shows
it is all bs
be honest magazines
like when you air brush pounds off of people on your covers

I wish someone would do that to all my pictures :) Unfortunantly I have to run and eat healthy and try not to feel too bad that I can't compete with "beauty" in magazines :(
barbwire30 8-15-2009 @ 3:08PM
They all still look stunning and beautiful, but I think it would have a much stronger effect to see pictures of them without make-up when they were younger. It would be great to start this trend to younger supermodels and actresses as well, to change the mentality of make-up from a necessity, to more of an accessory. That would mean, taking care of yourself more i.e. exercise, diet and not solely relying on make-up to enhance your appearance. Claudia admits to not eating dairy for fresher skin, it seems only an older generation is willing to change habits to preserve youth and beauty. Magazines are printed to promote make-up sales, so I doubt it will be a future trend but it would be nice...
