There are very few celebrities who are natural beauties. Wait, let me re-phrase that. There are NO celebrities that are natural beauties. By natural beauty I mean: flawless skin, no signs of aging, perfect glossy hair or perfect body. Let me put your mind to rest immediately. This type of human being does not exist.
Enter the makeup artist and the illusion begins. These artists know every little trick and technique to hide, camouflage, diminish any imperfection. They are masters at creating an illusion and, with celebrity makeup, the end results are truly stunning (see Emma Bunton on the left)
Here are are just a few examples of how celebrities look without the help of makeup. Impressive, huh?
Who's your favorite celebrity?
Celebrities are admired for a variety of reasons. What they've achieved, their artistic talent, their look, their lifestyle or business sense. I've always admired celebrities who seem down to earth and embrace their natural, girl next door image. The not too sophisticated type but that's my personal preference. How do you make someone look natural and glamorous at the same time?
And just in case you're wondering who I'm talking about, it's Jennifer Aniston. She is not a conventional beauty (I think she's gorgeous) and it's interesting to see how she works with the her face features - softening the jawline, minimizing the nose (see how the sides of her nose are darker?), widening the eyes etc.
She's the perfect example of a "normal" woman enhancing her best features and that's what this website is all about :-) Still looking like you but at your best!
In such a media-frenzied world, no celebrity gets away with looking less than perfect even for just one day. Paparrazzis are everywhere, waiting, watching, listening, pointing a camera. It's impossible for them to escape.
Let me give you an example.
I don't read gossip magazines but photos of celebrities without makeup (or underwear!) still manage to reach me. How? By watching the news on TV, reading a fashion magazine, walking by a newstand or just surfing the internet. They're everywhere.
No wonder these stars have celebrity makeup artists, fashion consultants, hairdressers and personal trainers at their disposal 24/7. They have to look their best at all times.
