Makeup (Con) Artists
Same woman. Different makeup. The model is 20 (gasp!). So... before you get too heavy handed with your bronzer or powder today, I beg you to put some thought into your appearance. Quite a transformation by makeup artist Lisa Butler and some fantastic lighting.
These are from Paris Vogue, November 2008. Here's the rest of the story...
(Editor's Note: is it just me, or isn't she is a total hottie in the 40's shot? Gives me some beauty tips for the future. Hello, Michelle Pfieffer!)
It just shows that she is a classic beauty at any age!

That is so crazy! Do you remember Kevyn Aucoin? His transformations were amazing.
You're right, she does look like Michelle Pfeiffer in the 40s pic. She reminds me of DVF in the 50s shot.

Amazing what makeup (and maybe photoshop) can do. In real life of course unless she went under the knife she would get saggier around the jawline!

This is so cool! I always want to look older and people have told me to wear more makeup but you can see at 40, 50, & 60 she isn't wearing that much. I think it's also interesting she isn't smiling in the older photos. Great post!

Isn't it around 40 women start getting interesting? It's probably just me.

So interesting, because it says so much about the stylist and the makeup artist. To me...age 10 is innocence, just before the transition into teens. The 20s are full of youthful optimism. The 30s are cynicism - it is the worst look by far. 40s - comfortable in her skin, still sexy, but sexy mixed with confidence and a worldliness. 50s - still got it, but not trying to be a sex kitten. 60s - transformation into old age, no skin showing.
In the end, it's all in the eyes - the windows to the soul - and no plastic surgery can touch that.

Unbelievable - she must have thought so to when she saw her shots, xv.

I remember seeing this and wondering how they did it! Too lazy to actually research, I guess :) Thanks for reposting.
Still, I have no idea how they made her look 10!

WOW! Those photos, or rather that make-up is amazing.
