Even though make-up artists are responsible for the execution of most of the looks that these celebrities wear, for me it is the strength of personality behind the make-up that really makes them look so dynamic.
Few people wear strong make-up with this amount of confidence.
Great to see a classic movie star like Gloria Swanson on the list...1920s and 1930s Hollywood makeup is fantastic. I love Madonna's looks as well. The question I have is,how much retouching is done to the images? Can anyone be this perfect? :)
Grace Jones is crazy beautiful. Did you see her on Alan Carr? She was a lot more normal than interviews Ive seen her in the past... maybe she's mellowing with age?
I couldn't agree more! So many times I have women come up to me and say things like, I could never wear purple on my eyes or, I could never wear a red lip! I just tell them you can pull off anything, all you need is confidence in yourself! Once they give it a try, they are surprised at what they can rock! Keep up the good work!
