Supermodel Beauty Tips from Cindy Crawford

After all these years Cindy Crawford at 44 yrs old is still STUNNING!


She recently met up with InStyle magazine to share some of her secrets that keep her looking naturally beautiful. Even though many people may think she just wakes up looking beautiful Cindy promises she doesn’t wake up looking picture perfect- but she does use simple tricks to enhance her beauty without looking overdone.

These are some of her beauty tips…

The trick to perfect lips

Cindy says it’s important to not skip lip liner. To do her lips she starts by moisturizing with a balm and then lines them with a flesh toned pencil to enhance the natural shape of her lips. For a youthful look she wears a nude color – but is sure to not wear a color that is too light or will wash her out, preferably beigy-pinks that are a shade darker than her skintone.

Cindy’s bonus lip tip: To make lips look fuller dab a bit of shimmer powder on the “widow’s peak” of your lip to make lips look fuller.

Get Microdermabrasion

Even with the best and most expensive skincare products, you just can’t get the same results as you can with Microderm. Cindy says she gets Microderm once a month to remove dead skin cells and in between treatments she uses a gentle scrub pad to get all the makeup out of her pores.

Find your perfect hair color

“People always talk about plastic surgery and Botox, but I think the right hair color, more than anything else, is what keeps a woman looking youthful.” Cindy suggests taking photos of your hair in different lighting to see what looks best, and aim for dimension – not flat color.

 
 
Cindy spoke to US Weekly recently to share with them how she continues to look beautiful and happy!
She said "It's a combination of a lot of things. I don't smoke, I don't take too much sun on my face- all of those things. If you keep doing them enough over the years, they add up."
"It's not that I work out every day and I'm not even on a diet- I just eat healthy. I'm never off the wagon, so I never have to get back on the wagon. It's all about maintaining a healthy body weight."
 
Cindy also told US weekly: "If you're happy and you're doing work that you enjoy- for me it's about being a mother- that comes out in how I look." Cindy went on to say " When you don't have anything interesting to do, you start thinking too much about what you don't have anymore. When you appreciate fulfilling things like family, work, friends, or the possibility of helping other people, you will have a focus. The list could go on. But to be standing in front of a mirror and to moan, Oh my God, I've just found another wrinkle! That's embarrassing. I don't have time for that."
 
Oh Cindy you are just perfect :)

New Uses for Aluminum Foil

Aluminum Foil as Wrinkle Remover




To get wrinkles out of silk, wool, and rayon clothes that can’t take direct heat, place a piece of foil on your ironing board, then lay the garment flat over it. With the steam button down, pass the iron three to four inches over the fabric several times. Wet heat radiating from the foil helps smooth out wrinkles.

Celebrity Skin Care Secrets

You don't have to be blessed with great genes to have great skin...



Rachel Bilson is a huge fan of the La Mer skin care line. She says it’s the best investment she’s ever made (at $130 per ounce!). Her most important beauty trick besides moisturizing is to never go to bed with your makeup on!




Dita von Teese claims to rely on her dermatologist and their products for her smooth fair skin. She is also a fan of the oh so fabulous La Mer skin care line.




Gossip Girl’s Blake Lively says after a long day of filming she has to completely clean her face of all makeup and product. Blake washes her face with Patricia Wexler’s Foaming Face wash, which she claims completely cleared up her skin.



Emily Blunt likes to keep it natural and relies on an old family secret to moisturize her skin. She slathers on Olive Oil occasionally for deep moisturizing.

Forget Expensive Eye Creams...2 in one product!


This terrible Michigan winter weather is really getting to me! My skin is really dry especially under my eyes. I was using some heavier face lotions and eye creams but they weren't really taking care of the dryness under my eyes. So... I decided to try Aquaphor. I had a tube of it that I use from time to time when my hands get really dry and since it's petroleum based it always does the trick. I figured I would give it a shot; I have been applying it all around my eyes before I go to bed. It is a little greasy so I would only recommend it before bed. So far it is the only thing that has helped my under eye dryness. Plus the petroleum base helps condition my eyelashes (just be sure not to get any in your eyes). So it's like a 2 in one product! My skin is very sensitive and I haven't had any breakouts or any other problems so far. I figure if it does start to irritate my skin in any way I will just switch to Vaseline. But so far so good!
