The word "artist" in this case is very appropriate to describe
their work.
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.
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 (if you'd like to start an exercise
regime, here's a
great site )offering diet and exercise information to put
you on the right track
. at their disposal 24/7. They
have to look their best at all times.
