Dita Von Teese Perfected Her Look
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, Models,
Dita Von Teese used to practice her beauty routine. The burlesque dancer is famed for her glamorous look but admits it's taken years to get it right and find a look that suited her.
"It depends on my time clock how long I need to get ready. Whether I have two minutes, or I have five minutes or if I have an hour. For example a quick day to day routine for five minutes would be mascara, powder and red lipstick and hair in a chignon. Once a woman has established what her look is and her routine is - you can practice and then get very quick. I've been practicing for such a long time."
However, Dita - who recently launched her own perfume - says she still needs a mirror when getting ready because her look is so precise: "No mirror? I definitely need a mirror but mine is very precise style. Steady hand I've been painting that eyeliner for 22 years. You certainly can't do a cat eye with no mirror. And you can't do it on the go either - it is too precise!"

Lily Cole Won’t Experiment with Make-up

Lily Cole doesn't like experimenting with make-up. The 23-year-old model favors a natural look and has particular products she always uses, and says the only thing she changes is her lip color.
"I like Chanel's Vitalumiere Aqua foundation and go for taupe colors, a really natural look. I like products that enhance, rather than mask, your face. I don't tend to experiment a lot with make-up, I just do what I do, but I like to play with different lip colors," she said.
Lily - who has teamed up with The Body Shop for her first make-up range - particularly favors a minimal make-up look during the warmer months, but stays away from fake tan because of her naturally pale complexion: "In summer I think less is more. I like La Roche-Posay sunscreens, and use make-up with an SPF. Bronzing is tricky - it ends up looking orange on my fair skin - so I prefer a deep pink blush like Lily Cole Lip & Cheek Dome in Pinch Me Pink. You can layer it from a sheer color to a warm flush.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has created a lingerie range for Marks & Spencer.
The 25-year-old model - who is the face of the high street chain - is "very excited" to have designed her first ever collection, entitled Rosie for Autograph, which will feature 33 pieces including French knickers, camisoles and silk lingerie sets.
"M&S is an iconic British brand, adored by many so I'm very excited to be launching my debut lingerie line with them. I thoroughly enjoyed collaborating with the design team to create my dream collection and I'm looking forward to a fun and creative time ahead," she said.
Kate Bostock, Marks & Spencer executive director of clothing, is "so pleased" with Rosie's debut collection and she "can't wait" for the range to be released in the shops: "We are so pleased to have Rosie on board to design her first collection for us - she really understands beautiful lingerie and what works on the body. With all her modeling experience she has great eye for color and style which, coupled with our extensive knowledge in lingerie design and technique, is a winning formula that we can't wait to share with our customers."
Coco Rocha has hit out after a magazine allegedly Photoshopped images of her.
The stunning model appears on the front cover of Elle Brazil in a plunging skin-tight dress, which reveals lots of skin and cleavage. However, Coco claims she was wearing a body suit under the dress to protect her modesty but it had been edited out and took to her Tumblr account to speak of her upset.
"As a high fashion model I have long had a policy of no nudity or partial nudity in my photo shoots. For my recent Elle Brazil cover shoot I wore a body suit under a sheer dress which I now find was photoshopped out to give the impression of me showing much more skin than I was, or am comfortable with.
''This was specifically against my expressed verbal and written direction to the entire team that they not do so. I'm extremely disappointed that my wishes and contract was ignored. I strongly believe every model has a right to set rules for how she is portrayed and for me these rules were clearly circumvented."

Crystal Renn Didn’t Like Plus-Size Pressure
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Health & Beauty, Models,
Crystal Renn says being a plus-sized model was too pressurized.
The 25-year-old beauty has seen her weight fluctuate over the years, and despite being very successful when she was at her heaviest, she admits the pressure became too much.
"I think that by placing a title on my head, which is 'plus-size,' and then the picture that these people have created in their mind about what plus-size actually is, I've basically failed you just with that. Because I couldn't possibly live up to that, and at this point in my life I would have to actually have another eating disorder to live up to that expectation," said Crystal, who is a US size six.
As well as her weight changing, Crystal recently dyed her hair platinum blonde and said she was "excited" by her transformation: "People can't believe the transformation. I had black hair and now I have white hair. That's what's so exciting. I wanted to do something different. I wanted to show up as a different canvas at a shoot. It's a very extreme look but very beautiful. Though it's nothing conventional."
Kate Moss Blasted by Photographer Terry O’Neill
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Models,
Photographer Terry O'Neill claims Kate Moss isn't a real supermodel.
The 38-year-old model is regularly referred to as one of the most beautiful women in the world, but the famed snapper isn't impressed with her looks and says Kate isn't in the same league as the other supermodels of the 90s including Naomi Campbell and Cindy Crawford.
"The supermodels were the last great girls, and Kate Moss only just scraped in under the wire. I never rated her - Kate only endured because she was associated with those supermodels. I mean, Jean [Shrimpton] was the best of all the English models and sadly it ended there," he told the Daily Telegraph.
Terry also slated Britain's Duchess Catherine - formerly Kate Middleton - saying she is too thin. Asked if he would like to photograph the royal beauty, he said, "Nah - I don't think so because I don't fancy her. I mean that poor girl, Kate, what's going to happen to her? Hopefully William will be king and she'll be a new breed. And she does seem very together, but, well, [she's] too thin."
Toni Garrn to be New Victoria’s Secret Angel
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Models,
Toni Garrn has become the newest Victoria's Secret angel. The 19-year-old beauty has only previously walked one runway show for the brand - famous for its extravagant underwear - but has now been confirmed as signing a new contract.
Victoria's Secret has long been known for picking the most glamorous and beautiful women to take part in its extravagant shows, with Miranda Kerr - who was voted the Most Beautiful Person of 2012 earlier this year - among those famed for their connection with the brand.
Despite the glamorous surroundings, Miranda - who has 15-month-old son Flynn with Orlando Bloom - claims she is keener on motherhood and loves spending time with her child: "I want to spend as much time with Flynn as I can, and I'd want to put a lot of energy into him. He's the most beautiful thing, the best thing that's ever happened to me. It's wonderful. I'd say what makes me happy is having this little man. I'm the happiest when I'm surrounded by those I love and we are in a natural environment. It's the best thing I've ever done. Becoming a mother puts everything into perspective. You become more comfortable in your own skin."
Crystal Renn is "excited" by her new look.
The former plus-size model recently dyed her hair platinum blonde and while people are shocked by her "transformation," she loves the "extreme'" change to her appearance.
"People can't believe the transformation. I had black hair and now I have white hair. That's what's so exciting. I wanted to do something different. I wanted to show up as a different canvas at a shoot. It's a very extreme look but very beautiful. Though it's nothing conventional," she said.
Crystal underwent several dying sessions to change her hair and she is delighted by the finished look. "It's a challenging look. But what's wonderful is it's something that photographs beautifully," she told People.
The model lists actress Tilda Swinton as her style icon because she admires the way the We Need To Talk About Kevin star changes her look so frequently: "I'm not trying to conform to one certain look. I look up to someone like Tilda Swinton. She's the fashion icon. She experiments and that keeps life fun," the 25 year-old beauty said.
Elle Macpherson Keeps Active Everywhere
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Health & Beauty, Models,
Elle Macpherson takes her running shoes everywhere. The 47-year-old supermodel does at least 60 minutes exercise every day, and while she likes to vary her fitness routine, she always tries to be prepared so she can fit physical activity in wherever she is in the world.
"I do an hour every day of some kind of physical activity. I mix it up. If I'm in the mountains I ski, if I'm near water I'll swim. I might do a yoga or Spin class. I also take my running shoes and iPod with me wherever I go. Running is not only a really effective way to stay fit, it's a sort of moving meditation and a great way to explore new towns when I'm traveling."
Despite working hard to maintain a trim physique, Elle - who has sons Flynn, 14, and nine-year-old Cy with former boyfriend Arpad Busson - knows she will never look the way she did when she first began her career but insists her motivation for working out now is very different to when she was younger.

Victoria Beckham: I Represent the General Public
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Models,
Victoria Beckham believes her figure represents that of the "general public."
The size 6 singer-turned-fashion designer says she uses her own body to see how her designs will look on anyone who isn't a model.
"We always joke that we have this fabulously gorgeous 17-year-old model who is six-foot-whatever and then I say 'Okay, I'm going to put it on. I stand for the general public here.' It's how I work. I found it really difficult when I was pregnant and I couldn't do that. It's part of the process - I'll stand here in my knickers and start draping fabric over myself. It was very hard when I didn't have my body."
The working mother-of-four broke down in tears when she won Designer Brand of the Year at the British Fashion Awards last November - but insists it gave people a chance to see the "real" her.
