Cindy Crawford: Regular Working Stiff?
"In a magazine interview out , the 40-year-old mother-two spoke of making regular trips for treatments ranging from Botox, to vitamin and collagen injections.
She went on to reveal that she has been getting such extra help with her looks since the age of 29.
'I'm not going to lie to myself: past a certain age, creams work on the texture of your skin but, in order to restore elasticity, all I can really count on is vitamin injections, Botox and collagen,' she tells this week's Gala magazine. I owe the quality of my skin to my cosmetic surgeon.' "It appears no one in the beauty industry just "happens" to be lineless. They have extra help. Why shouldn't we? I know surgery & injections can't work on the quality or texture of skin
but this is the 21st century- granny's cold cream just doesn't get it anymore.

Lauren Hutton's Makeup Holy Grail
"I'd find makeup with the least amount of glitter. I'd smash it up and add talc to thin it out," she says.
Researching the effects of aging on her face "became my grail," she says.
Models have flaws like anyone else, says Lauren Hutton. They've just learned to use makeup to hide the flaws — and enhance their assets. But when Hutton returned to modeling, makeup tricks didn't work.
"I realized makeup made me look worse — older, artificial, like a painted doll," she says. "In order to work, I had to invent a new kind of makeup."The market was crowded with cosmetics, so why go up against all that competition?
"Because it's what I know very, very, very well," says Hutton, 62. "I'm the only model I know who's had a continuing working history in fashion for 40 years

Your Portrait(R) Of Photodamage: Plasma Skin Regeneration
New to the market, and the first to treat the effects of all types of
photodamage at once is "Portrait(R) Plasma Skin Regeneration
How it works:
Portrait(R) delivers nitrogen plasma (a highly energized gas) energy,
which work both at and below the surface of the skin to modify the skin's
architecture and generate new collagen ... never making direct contact. The
skin's outer layers remain intact and act as a protective cover until the
new skin regenerates. Once this happens, the old skin peels away, taking
with it all the signs of photodamage; including brown sun spots and actinic
keratoses (rough-textured patches or lesions that form on the outermost
layer of the skin after years of exposure to ultraviolet light.)
Additionally Portrait(R) has a profound cosmetic effect on the other
results from photodamage: wrinkles, skin tone and texture and skin laxity.
Clinical studies show continuing improvement of the skin for up to a year
later -- a unique and significant advantage that distinguishes Portrait(R) from all other skin treatments.
With the ability to vary the strength of the treatment (depending on
the extent of photodamage associated with each patient), from one higher
level treatment to three lower level treatments, recovery time can be
limited to accommodate each patient's schedule. A full face treatment takes
from 20-30 minutes, and the long-term improvements of the skin's collagen
continue for up to one year. Portrait and Portrait PSR3 are registered trademarks of Rhytec, Inc.

Eyebrows are popular, too.Most states require no license to tattoo, and permanent cosmetics technicians are often not regulated. Buyer beware. Think of all the time you could gain sleeping through a normal eye makeup routine! Sigh.. but I'm all too chicken. I wont suffer enough for my beauty.

The Look to Watch For
L’Oreal Paris. The look to watch for is Bewitched—pale, glossy lips, almost indiscernible blush, and animated eyes. Call me biased, but Filipinas have the most beautiful eyes. Yet we seem to be afraid to put on eye color, possibly because nobody taught us how.
Do have an eye for drama. Smoky eyes used to mean blacks and grays; now it’s infused with color. L’Oreal chief makeup artist Jigs Mayuga gives us easy-to-do steps. First, line eyes with Contour Kohl eyeliner in black then smudge a bit of gray from the Color Appeal duo in white and gray. Then apply base eye shadow such as Color Appeal mono in gold all over your eyelids. Finish with Volume Shocking mascara.Lancome. Like shoes, women can never have enough lipsticks. It’s a must-have accessory that can instantly change your look. Imagine running late for a cocktail party where you’ll be introduced to his mother’s amigas. You’re coming straight from the office and don’t have time to do full evening makeup. What to do? Powder your nose, sweep an intense lip color on your lips, and beam a one million megawatt smile. It pays to check your teeth for lipstick stains.Lancome’s fall/winter look emphasizes a strong mouth. This doesn’t necessarily mean red; rather, it’s vibrant colors that make lips stand out. Color Fever has 22 shades to choose from, all equipped with a patented liquid prism technology that reflects light like a crystal prism.
