CELEBRITIES WITHOUT MAKEUP

Dear readers of sport&beauty. Today we’re going to talk about celebrities. Celebrities usually show off their good looks on TV and magazine covers. But today we’ll see that not everything that shines is gold. Today we’ll see celebrities’ real face without Maybelline or Christian Dior makeup and photoshop. Some of them would still look great but others wouldn’t look gorgeous and would scare the shit out of you. In today’s post we’ll prove that changing the appearance of some of the most admired celebrities needs a bit of makeup and photoshop. Let’s get started.

Please, have someone give Jessica Biel a bit of eyeshadow to hide the dark circles she has around her eyes. If someone needs to balance her skin it’s Jessica Biel. I think that wearing this hat helps compound the problem since it attracts even more attention to her face. It was a wrong choice. There is no doubt that Jessica would look better with a little Maybelline or Margaret Astor.

It’s said somewhere that Alicia Silverstone hates water and she doesn’t shower unless absolutely necessary. That’s why it’s not surprising for us to see her skin greasy, full of spots and without makeup. We understand that celebrities don’t like to wear makeup all the time but, at least, we’ll demand them to shower and take care of their skin. It seems that Alicia isn’t yet aware of the meaning of the word celebrity.

Hilary Duff looks quite great without makeup. In this picture she has a juvenile look and makeup gives her a mature look. We love her rosy face although her eyes seem dark and tired. Anyway, she’s not the worst on the list.

Are you really surprised to see Britney Spear’s go makeupless and with her face full of spots? It doesn’t surprise me anymore. She’s going downhill without brakes and obviously she’s not concerned about taking a shower. We hope someone takes the horn by the bulls and reminds her to wash herself and put on underwear again.

It goes without saying that Kirsten Dunst is a beautiful woman. This must be crystal clear from the beginning. She has a natural pale rosy face, wonderful eyebrows and long eyelids. She doesn’t look that bad without makeup but could use it to improve her appearance. Just by using a facial mask and a lip gloss Kirsten would achieve surprising results. We hope Kirsten follows our do’s and don’ts before going in front of a camera.

Now the greatest disappointment in human history. Believe it or not the woman in the first picture is Pamela Anderson. Pamela is still a sex symbol but I'd rather not come up against her in a cul-de-sac when she goes makeupless. He's got a statuesque body but her face is a bit spoilt. Ageing is visible in her face and we can distinguish some wrinkles. She could claim that the sun was hitting her face and that is the reason for the wrinkles to appear but Pamela looks awful without makeup. Look at the second pictures. Makeup works miracles.

It's obvious that Kate Winslet has a stunning beauty. Look at her flawless skin without any makeup. We bow at her beauty and celebrate that she's confident enough to go makeupless. Although her eyebrows seem a bit weird (perhaps they are at different levels), we can't say anything bad about her. Kate, you look gorgeous.

Amy Smart doesn't look that great without makeup. She needs her makeup kit handy: foundation, concealer, eye shadow, eye liner, lipstick,... Sorry for being so sincere but it's the truth.

It's not a coincidence that Heidi Klum is one of the best models in the world. Just look at her flawless chinaware skin. We love her skin and her full lips. However, we would tell Heidi to pay attention to her eyes and use just a bit of mascara and eye shadow. Now we understand why many women envy her.

Why did Gisele Bundchen and Leo di Caprio break up? Why didn't Victoria's Secret extend Gisele's contract? It just came to my mind that the reason could have been that they saw these pictures. Perhaps we are being a bit tough considering that Gisele is one of the prettiest models in the world. We want Gisele to look always gorgeous so we'll tell her off when we see her going makeupless.

It's turn for my favorite model, Adriana Lima. Even my adored Adriana Lima needs some makeup to look as gorgeous as we're used to see her. I find her charming even without makeup. When she wears makeup she's simply irresistible.

The death of a myth. Who's this woman with greasy hair, going makeupless and looking dead beat tired? Perhaps I'll change my mind about Jessica Simpson after seeing the first picture. We already know that celebrities have a tight agendas and probable end up very tired after all events they have to attend but they are obliged to pay attention to their appearance. Jessica, what about a ponnytail and a bit of eye shadow? At least try to pretend that you are concerned about your appearance....

Here goes another myth down the drain. We're impressed by the fact that Eva Longoria married Tony Parker but it doesn't mean that she can start neglecting her appearance after marriage. We won't lie if we say that Eva Longoria looks awful without makeup. If she intends to continue this way, we would suggest that she turns back her cap to try and conceal her face.

When she goes makeupless Beyonce looks like an average housewife in a shopping mall. She's neither awful nor stunning. If she always went makeupless she wouldn't attract the attention of men that usually praise her on the red carpet. Anyway, she's not that bad.

To conclude with this post I'll leave you in the company of Daryl Hannah, Julia Roberts, Madonna, Angelina Jolie, Cameron Díaz, Penélope Cruz, and Halle Berry. I'll also leave a video so you can realize that sometimes makeup works miracles. Best regards.

Today’s post is going to be dedicated to the young French fashion model Constance Jablonski. Constance Jablonski is one of the most promising members of the new breed of fashion models. The French model is on the launching pad to stardom and her incredible beauty has just earned her a contract as one of Estée Lauder’s spokespersons.

Constance Jablonski was born on October 29, 1990 in the French city of Lille. As it usually happens to many other fellow models, Constance had never shown a real interest to become a fashion model. Although she admired Elle McPherson’s way of acting and walking on the runway which Constance found quite inspiring for her, what Constance really wanted to be was a successful tennis player. Before trying her luck as a model, Constance Jablonski played tennis for nine years participating in numerous tournaments and competing in some French Regional Championships. Nowadays she still plays tennis close to Chelsea harbour but just for fun. Here you are the measurements and personal data of this stunning French beauty:

In April 2010, Constance Jablonski achieved one of her most important successes so far when it was announced that she and Chinese model Liu Wen had become the new faces of cosmetic brand Estée Lauder.

Constance is currently ranked 10th on models.com’s list of the best fifty fashion models.

Let’s talk a bite about her personal life. Besides being fond of tennis, Constance also likes the piano. The French model has her own prívate page on Facebook that has nothing to do with the other twelve profiles bearing her name where people upload Constance’s pictures and videos to which she strongly opposes. The French model remembers that one of her best experiencies as a model was meeting Zinedine Zidane at a Y-3 campaign where the French football player went to kick a ball at the end of the show. Currently Constance spends most of her time in New York where she’s often spotted at Jules, a small French restaurant located at St. Marks Place, having a walk in Central Park, doing some shopping at Curve or attending Broadway’s shows. To conclude this post I’ll leave a slideshow with pictures of Constance Jablonski and some videos so you can see this beautiful young French model alive and kicking. Best regards.

BRIDAL GOWNS PRONOVIAS 2011

Dear readers of sport&beauty. Today we are going to talk about wedding gowns. We are going to dedicate this post to the new 2011 Pronovias’ bridal fashion line. The Spanish bridal fashion company Pronovias has launched seven major lines of bridal gowns. All the lines are different from each other and have their own characteristics to meet the needs of all brides. That’s the reason why we can notices important differences in price between them. For 2011 Pronovias has lauched their collections Fashion, City, Dreams, Glamour, Ball Gowns, Style, and Costura. While Dreams or Costura include the most expensive designs (some of them well over 2000€), City, ideal for civil weddings, is composed of designs that cost around 1000€. Today we are going to focus on Pronovias’ Style collection of lace wedding gowns because it’s worth it and I like lace tissue.

wedding-gowns-Pronovias-2011

Prononovias’ 2011 Style bridal fashion line is composed of seven different designs, namely Fresno, Ferma, Finisterre, Flauta, Friburgo, Frase, Florin and Filipinas. In the new 2011 Style collection lace is king. Few tissues are as powerful as the lace. The lace is traditional in its essence and in the form of transparencies or applications, but when combined with tulle it can create the most suggestive silhouettes such as tight waists, flared skirts and sheer trains that will turn you into a real princess of style. We’ll start our journey across the collection of wedding dresses that Pronovias has launched for 2011 talking about the model Fresno. Fresno is a clean-cut, classic strapless lace wedding dress that can also be combined with a lace wedding veil. It’s price is 1800€ (2340$).

The second model we’re going to present you is the Ferma wedding gown. Ferma is one of my favorite models. It’s a clean-cut, classic, figure hugging strapless satin wedding dress. Notice the buttoned back and satin loop. It’s the cheapest one of the Style collection and its price is 1300€ (1690$).

Friburgo is perhaps my favorite wedding dress from the whole Pronovias collection. Friburgo is a clean-cut, figure hugging, strapless lace wedding dress combined with a lavishly embellished lace train. It can be paired with a transparent wedding veil embellished with lace ribbons.
