God, I love Cindy Crawford. She was one of those amazing 1990s supermodels who actually dared to sport a little muscle on her bones, you know? Cindy always had a realistic figure and a girl-next-door-squared type of appeal, and she’s now 46 years old and still getting work, which is fairly unheard of as far as modelling is concerned. Of course, it’s very painful to remember how Cindy looked back in March when she’d done some tweaking; that is, Cindy had either indulged in an eye lift or some very aggressive Botox possibly combined with some eyelid surgery or fillers. As CB stated as well, Botox and fillers can have the paradoxical effect of making one look older, which is clearly the opposite of what one intends when consulting a plastic surgeon or dermatologist. Now Cindy is, um, ignoring that little hiccup, and she’s talking out about how makeup is something to avoid because it ages the face. She sort of has a point, and the Mail points towards these photos of evidence that Cindy’s theory works, but they forgot that she’s wearing sunglasses in these photos. I’m including some pictures of Cindy without sunglasses at the bottom of this post, but here’s what she had to say about aging:
As one of the world’s top models Cindy Crawford was used to wearing a thick face of makeup. And you might expect that as she aged she’d continue to plaster it on.
But the supermodel has revealed that she has in fact cut back on her use of war paint – and believes too much ages the face, “As I’ve gotten older I wear less makeup. It can make you look older, and hopefully we get more comfortable in our skin.”
She proved that point on Tuesday while out and about in Southern California’s most affluent city on Tuesday. The supermodel-turned-designer, 46, was casually chic in blue blouse, gray jeans and strappy heels, dark shades, tan purse and windblown hair completing her fashionable look. She wore minimal makeup, but she doesn’t really need it with that natural, earthy beauty.
Married 14 years to nightclub owner Rande Gerber, 50, and mother to two beautiful children, Kaia, 11, and Presley, 13, the world is Cindy’s catwalk.
[From Daily Mail]
I would agree that, in general, less makeup makes one look younger. One of my beauty habits is to only wear makeup (with the exception of some subtle eyeliner, which is rather indispensible but not in a Kate Middleton capacity) to a very important function or, say, out to dinner. People usually tell me that I look 25 years old without makeup, but — let’s face it — they’re full of crap since I’m 37 years old. At the same time, I don’t really mind hearing such ridiculous things. Hey, I can be vain too! So Cindy does have a point, but I find it rather unfortunate that Cindy is talking about feeling “more comfortable in our skin” when she’s clearly had some work done. Not that I can knock Cindy by any stretch — her fortune has always been her face, and it’s unfortunate that she felt the need to change her looks to keep up with the modelling industry when, obviously, she looked better before the work was done.
Here’s Cindy going (relatively) make-up free in Los Angeles on 9/11. She looks slightly less tweaked than she did last March, but she’s still not the same Cindy that she used to be.

Damn her! Her body is amazing. Her clothes look great on her. She’s still very beautiful. The skin tone on my face is too uneven to go without at least a touch of foundation, otherwise, I’d wear less makeup more often. I work with the public and media so I have to shellac my face with makeup. Lol

I wear foundation also because of the dark spots I have as I’ve gotten older. I don’t paint it on heavy and I make sure I only use a brush and liquid foundation. I noticed when I wore cream it made me look older.

I use L’Oreal’s Bare Naturals foundation and love it. It’s powder-based and I totally agree about cream foundation.

I just use Dr. Jart’s BB cream most of the time. I agree that as you age, more makeup is aging.
My normal is BB cream, eyeliner and mascara with something nude on my lips. I hate naked lips, mine get chapped.

I bet you any amount of money she has foundation on in these photos as well. Plus a little bare mineral blush.

Probably more liked tinted moisturizer. That’s what I wear during the day for errands and such. Skin is protected with SPF and I have a little hint of color to even out skin tone, but not that heavy makeup look.

Me, too! I’m so jealous of all the ladies who can get away with no makeup. If I could, I would (go without foundation — I will NEVER go without my beloved eyeliner). My face is just a patchwork of dark spots.

There’s a freshness to her style, fashionwise not facewise. She’s not trying to dress like she’s still 25 (Madonna), nor does she look like she’s ready to move to a nursing home (Olsen twins).

She looks great. Good for her but she is the same person who claimed that she keeps young look because diet and exercise but in the end she admitted that it was botox. She is full of crap like most of celebs.

Sadly, I think you’re right. Cindy was one of my favorite 90s supermodels, along with Christy Turlington and Helena Christensen.
She shills her skincare line, which has all these fantastic claims about preserving youth, yet she’s admitted to using botox and vitamin injections.
In 1994 she posed for a photo, seemingly topless while holding a cat and wearing a hat with a No Fur sign. 10 years later she was the model hired for Blackglama’s fur coat campaign. When asked about the hypocrisy of this, she stated that she posed for the No Fur photo not as a declaration that she’s against fur, but as a favor to a fashion designer friend. It sounded like a lame excuse.
I admire her for her work ethic and professionalism in an industry full of narcissists and diva behavior. It seems her wholesome, girl-next-door image is not genuine. If that blind item is true, Cindy likes to mess around with women. Supposedly she did just that at a party, naked, in front of everybody, while her husband looked on approvingly.
Nothing wrong with being gay or bi, of course. Love is love. But if you’re married or in a committed relationship, you don’t cheat on your partner with either sex. However, I’ve heard rumors that Rande Gerber cheats on her, too. So perhaps it’s not cheating to them, but the “perks” of having an open marriage? If it’s really happening, I hope they keep it hidden from their children.

Can’t believe I am commenting on a blind item, but by definition if her hubs was “looking on approvingly” then whatever was happening, it clearly wasn’t cheating!

@TrustMeOnThis
Are you kidding me? You are on a gossip site. A lot of the discussion on these types of sites is speculation anyway. A blind item is not much different.
As for the cheating part, yes it’s apparently not cheating if her husband approves. I wonder if Cindy approves of all the sidepieces Rande supposedly had. The rumors of his cheating have followed him since they started dating. I think they would have died out if there wasn’t some truth to them. Also, he was sued for sexual harassment by two former female employees, who stated that they were fired because they refused his advances. How predatory. Don’t know the outcome of that case, but it seems like where there’s smoke there’s fire.
So, it could mean they have an open marriage or she’s looking the other way. I don’t think it’s emotionally healthy for their children at all. There’s no doubt the kids would be hurt if they found out that Mom and Dad like to get freaky with other people. That’s a disturbing family dynamic to me. Cindy is just another celebrity hiding behind a wholesome facade.

I remember buying Mademoiselle magazine when I was in h.s. in the mid-80s and she was all over it. I loved her birth mark and that she had brown hair and brown eyes, unlike a lot of the other models at that time who were blond and blue-eyed (not that there’s anything wrong with that, but I’m far from it). I’ve mentioned before that I’ve done Botox, but my neurologist shot me up because of my migraines, and while it didn’t help that, it was nice to be rid of my forehead lines for 2 months. I don’t think I would do it again because it hurt like f*#$^@ hell. I’m not against eyelid work – my mother is 73 and wants to get her eyes done because one lid is drooping so much it’s affecting her vision. But in your 30s or 40s? I think that’s a little young, but Hollywood is a tough place.
Not really digging the big-ass Birkin, but I like the first bag she’s holding.

She does look better than she did in those pics you posted earlier this year. She looked on her way to becoming Janice Dickenson in toise pics. She should never have done anything to her face. Maybe if she lays off the needle now, she will return to her real self, which is fantastic.

Agree. And I agree with her POV about less is more in the makeup department.
I have always gone almost makeup free but now that I’m in my mid-40s I feel like I need mascara and sometime even a bit of eyeliner to open my eyes. Otherwise I get “you look so tired,” even when I’m rested. Good times.

I agree as well.
I turn 40 this year, and unless it is a special occasion or a date, the most I wear is mascara and eyebrow shadow (mine are pitiful).
I stopped wearing a full face of make up when I turned 21. I figured I didn’t need to look older since I was official.
Good genes, 100oz of water a day and no makeup and on a well rested day I pass for 26 – 27. I thank my parents everyday…

Personally, I have to agree that minimal make-up works best for me as I’ve aged. I do have more comments on my age vs. how I look when I have less make up on; however I will do a full face of make-up for a big event for pictures, etc.
I’ve noticed that I do look older when wearing a full face of make-up.
I do believe in using a good moisturizer (preferably tinted) with SPF for day, under eye concealer, light powder, blush, mascara and lip gloss or balm.

All you girls in your early 20s – the best thing you can do is wear sunscreen every single day and avoid tanning. I love the beach but I haven’t gone in 15 years, and even then I sat under an umbrella. Wear a hat. When I was that age there weren’t SPF tinted moisturizers etc that you could slap on. Take off your makeup EVERY single night and change your pillowcase every few days. Don’t smoke and ease up on the booze as you get older. I’m almost 44 and doing all that has helped. I don’t get facials or buy expensive products either. That’s my 2 cents, girls.

NYC_girl speaks the truth. Keeping your skin away from the sun cannot be emphasized enough – if you’re looking for advice on skin-care. I love getting a little sunshine but after 5 minutes, I’m either heading indoors, or slathering on some SPF-50. Northern German here.

Wish I knew this and it was around when I was younger. Still go to the beach, but I use 45 on my face, glasses and a hat. The rest of me can just turn brown, but none on the face. A little bronzer is a small thing to have to use to save your skin.

I have my dads darker skin tone, but have the same problem dark under eye circles and can look wiped out all the time due to my health (no matter how much I sleep and chances are no matter how much I slept some days I am drained to the bone..but it gets tiring being told that’s how I look lol). I work a lot w/ the Media and meet quite frequently w/ members of Local, State, and Federal Members of our Government and am expected to look professional. I also meet with many family members and patients (times I don’t even bother w/ liner or mascara unless it’s due to a function or our initial meeting) in my State due to a State Position with a major volunteer organization I was appointed to. Due to one of my illnesses it has kept me from wearing the makeup I did in my 20′s since I was about 30/31. I found using a sunless tanning moisturizer evens my facial complexion. The only makeup I do try on days I have to look put together is mascara and eyeliner. Makes the whites of my eyes pop and helps with the under eye circles. Well groomed eyebrows are tops also. Cindy has a point, my skin looks younger now and is in better shape then it was when I was young and modeling w/ all that makeup on. I haven’t had an acne breakout since I stopped w/ foundational those yrs ago.
Though I agree all the young women that have tried all those serums or will try because of all her infomercials when she has had fillers and or work done is very misleading. She’s not the first though and won’t be the last to do that.

She’s got great bone structure and obviously takes care of her skin very well, but is clearly relying on some injectibles to assist.
I agree about the less makeup stuff though, I’ve cut back in the last decade myself. I’ll be 60 in a month and always get complimented on my skin and people are totally surprised at my age – my secret? Don’t suntan! Always use sunscreen! Eat well, take vitamins, exfoliate regularly, use a retinol-based moisturizer, but it’s the sun that wrecks your skin no matter how easily you tan. At some point that tan will cause liver spots, wrinkles and in many cases skin cancer.

Girls, there’s some really good advice from NYC_Girl and Jaded, among others. I’m 42, and I’ve been wearing sunscreen daily since I was 19. I was a little more lax than, in that I didn’t know as much about UVA rays, and I wouldn’t wear hats and reapply! You have to reapply every few hours. Now, I wear sunscreen that has either titanium and zinc oxide — natural UVAging blockers. Or Anthelios, which is chemical but really blocks the UVA rays. I wear a big sunhat when ever I got out. I used to get glycolic facials every months, but I had to cut down. Right now, I’m using Avon Genics cream, and it really brightened my skin. I usually use a good retinol cream, too and I need to re-stock. Vitamins, healthy food, green tea, excercise. Now one thing — I’ve suffered from depression in last few years. I work for myself,and I wasn’t getting enough natural light or sun. There is something about getting some Vitamin D and fresh air daily, positive attitude about life and interacting with others.

I do agree with her less make-up makes you look younger, but staying out of the sun,a good moisturizer, eating right and exercise are also important. It is hard to really take advice from a woman who has the money, time, good genes and access to the best plastic surgeons, dermatologists and cosmotoligists in LA. To her dropping by for a little nip and tuck, here and there, is the same way I drop by Walgreens to pick up my cosmetics.

I’m the same age, and not to toot my own horn, but look alot younger..darker skin, good genes…lots of good fats and intense , brief,exercise……HOWEVER, I’ve noticed the past couple of years, it isn’t wrinkling that is happening.. *yet*.. it’s just a look of tiredness more so. I remember the days, not that long ago it seems, where one bounces out of bed looking dewy eyed and fresh.. but now, the face takes a bit longer to decompress. those pillow lines and puffier eyes last a bit longer than the morning allows. I just get up earlier now so I look decent sooner.

NYC Girl-Agree, take your make-up everyday/night no matter what and change your pillow cases often.
Like some have said, I drink a large amount of water. I know many experts say that it does not make a difference but it does to me. Vitamins help too.
I also use a prescribed retinol.
I try to get facials as much as possible to keep the skin from getting clogged. I also use a sleep mask which helps reduction w/ puffiness with eyes, particularly after a long day/night.
I also eat alot of dark leafy greens or I drink a supplement based solely dark greens. It makes a difference.
Also, if I’m sleep deprived, I try and take a brief siesta (20 minutes max) which seems to help energize me.

@Bedhead: I am the same age as you are and I get the very same comments now that I rarely wear makeup. So I don’t think they’re full of crap.
When I married my husband 13 years ago, I was still stuck in the routine of the 90′s style mat pancake look with dark lips and I constantly dealt with breakouts. A few years ago we moved to the south and I just couldn’t wear makeup like that anymore, no matter how tempted I was. My pores would open right up and swallow every bit of foundation and powder on my face. Now my routine is moisturize, moisturize, moisturize, 20 minutes of sun every day, some mascara (I’m a ginger, so I need something to make my eyelashes look less non-existent) and a little lip gloss. I get told all the time how much younger I look, so I think I will stick with this and it’s so much easier!

Dont even bother. I bought one about a year ago and all it did was cause the worst breakouts I’ve ever had in my life! Plus you have to replace the brush every few months. Garbage!!!

@Really, First off, do some youtube and research the QVC reviews as well as the Sephora ones. There is a guy that does great makeup tutorials on youtube called gossmakeupartist and he loves his Clairisonic, but he broke out like crazy when he switched and used the deep cleansing brush.
So, I started noticing that after doing my normal routine and adding retinol pads by philosophy that they were still coming off brown with makeup no matter how much I cleansed. I bought it, have heard the Mia model is not as good. Yes, you have to change the brush infrequently, but my skin is silky, the cleanest it has ever been and I have not had one breakout. You don’t press it in, just let it glide over your skin.
If you live in the US, I recommend QVC, as they let you pay on 4 or 5 payments because it is 225 dollars. If you want to see what it is like and live in the US, go to CVS. They sell two things that are similar, one from Olay pro-RX and one a QVC brand for 20 bucks. I started there and was amazed that after using makeup wipes really good, that I’d use the brush and it would fling brown soapy foam off. Amazing. If your skin reacts well, go with the real deal. Its rechargeable as opposed to less power and having to use batteries with the cheapies.
QVC and Sephora have a million reviews and they are among the most numerous and positive I have ever seen. My skin is really radiant now. Let us know how it goes and I totally recommend philosophy miracle worker pads and retinols. Huge difference, my sun discoloration is gone in 3 months and I can just use the BB cream. Dr. Jart’s is great because it is 45spf and has zinc and adenosine, so a treatment, sunscreen and tinted moisturizer.
Sorry for the length of post, hope this helps!!!

I use the Clarisonic MD, which was the first one. I can’t recommend it enough. My large pores shrunk to pinpoints and my complexion is so much more even. There is a later model that you can use on your body as well by changing the brush. Mine still works well so I probably won’t upgrade until mine wears out. I paid $125 for mine on ebay, but you need to replace the brush every 3 months. Those are $25 but I’ve bought them in multiples for less.
As recommended, read the reviews on QVC as well as other sites. That should give you a good idea of whether it is for you.

I had terrible acne Problems with the clarisonic. My friend bought it for me as a gift on QVC. I feel bad that I don’t use it anymore, but the breakouts were bad!! I even Disinfected the brush frequently and changed it early… But it didn’t work out for my face.

A lot of celebs and models admit to botox but they don’t admit to all of the other noninvasive procedures such as fillers, peels, lasers, etc. I’m sure Cindy has used all of these. She looks great now but she looked really aged before she had the more aggressive procedures done.
So to say her skin is toned and lifted from her skin care line is really false.

It was really helpful reading the comments here, as I have turned 40 and for a while have not been wearing much make up or any – depending on how late I am for work, but what I have been doing is spending time on maintaining my skin the base as in serums, eye creams, moisturers, night creams, face masks, micro debrassions, exfoliate and using BB creams and I have noticed my skin tone is better, I used to cake my face with heavy foundations to cover up – but I still love a good lippie

She’s right, but for women who wear makeup most of the time, it can take time to get used to easing up. You can wear a tinted moisturizer, or a bare minerals powder. Even with brow pencil, a little mascara and blush, if it’s done very slightly, it can still look barely there. I think you must pick & choose a few things only, depending on your particular needs. Cindy has always been a natural beauty. She still looks amazing.

She’s been my heroine ever since she was filmed just going about her business in the late 1980s or early 1990s, and this creepy guy came up for her autograph and started sniggering about how he had her calendar, and she smiled charmingly as she handed the pen back and gave the exit line, “That’s nice. I hope it’s laminated.”
She also started my hate of Richard Gere when she quietly said he was much smarter than she was, and once she’d used the word epitome and pronounced it “epitoam” and he’d been shocked, and said, “That IS the epitome!” And I remember thinking that someone who knows how to pronounce a word has been taught it by others, while someone who knows the meaning, but pronounces it as written, has picked it up through contextual reading. So is self-taught. And I know which I think is more laudable. What a patronising creep.

By regular exercise, eating fruits, avoiding junk food keeping hydrated, and avoiding heavy makeup you can look trim and beautiful decades after forty!

My mother had her workout tape back in the day, and she was breathtaking. She was on the beach out in the natural light and instead of having her hair blown straight, it was fuller and looser with the natural wave in her hair. She was perfection. I don’t know why she didn’t wear her hair that way more often. And what a body.
Here she is on the beach warming up back then.

The girl next door label has more to do with her public personality than her looks. Cindy was the down-to-earth, approachable Midwestern girl. She wasn’t the bad girl or the edgy girl or the remote, stuck up “look at me but don’t touch” model.
She was gorgeous with a healthy body. One of her strengths was that her ethnicity could be versatile, with the help of makeup. With her dark hair and eyes, in photos she could pass for Italian, Spanish, Native American, mixed ancestry, Middle Eastern, etc. I’m not making this stuff up. This was what people were writing about her in the 90s. At that time, she was considered a refreshing change from the blue-eyed blondes who previously dominated modeling.

Excellent issues altogether, you just won a logo new reader. What would you suggest in regards to your put up that you simply made a few days in the past? Any positive?
