Chic-Shuk Secrets

There is absolutely no doubt  the 24 years old Israeli supper model Bar Repaeli is stunning. Her natural beauty is above and beyond, ever since she was a little girl. Even her mother was a successful model herself in the late 1970`s, so I guess the beauty stays in the family. One of her most favorite beauty secret, as admitted Refaeli in a recent Sephora’s 5th Avenue store beauty event, is: “Less is more! You don’t need a ton of makeup to look really good“. However, I was wondering why did Rampage photo-shoot campain`s graphic designers had to do such an awful piece of Photoshop work on Bar`s skin, neck and legs?! That is the absolute opposite of “LESS IS MORE”, isn’t it?!

Long story short, as long as there have been photographs, there has been photo manipulation, and despite It’s interesting, yet very much fake results, Lets face it: Perhaps Bar Refaeli doesn’t have the perfect polished skin, however her natural beauty has always been her best celebrity beauty secret!  

Surprisingly, however true, many of us are working late and collapse into bed once arriving home at night, and often fall asleep without washing our face. It is a bad habit according to most dermatologists since going to bed without cleaning our face can lead to clogged pores and breakouts plus sadly encourage anti-aging early signs.  

My secret solution in order to avoid this bad habit and go to sleep with a fresh clean skin is simple, yet very effective: Keeping a stash of cleansing wipes on my nightstand, near my bed so I can Swipe then- Crush!   . You wont believe how easy it makes it: These towelettes remove every trace of mascara and smoky eye; every hint of under eye concealer and lip-stain in under 60 seconds, not to mention the removal of dirt and dust that has accumulated on your skin throughout the day.

My favorite Wipes are the Neutrogena Make-Up Remover Cleansing Towelettes, since they are ultra-soft calming cloths which gently dissolve all traces of makeup. Dermatologist tested, Allergy tested and alcohol-free, these wonderful wipes leave my skin moisturized enough so that I don’t have to use night cream. I also like them so much since they are perfect for travel as there’s no issue with taking them through airport security in your carry-on luggage! However, you can choose any brand you like for that purpose, AS LONG AS YOU CLEAN YOUR FACE BEFORE FALLING ASLEEP , keeping it healthy and beautiful for the long term!  Trust me, your skin will thank you for that in years to come!

I LOVE Jennifer Aniston’s natural beauty secret for super-soft lips: She combines a small amount of granulated sugar and water in a teaspoon and gently massage her lips with a toothbrush and this easy making syrup for kissable soft lips. So simple to use, and works like MAGIC !

My second favorable secret of her is an easy to apply makeup technique that makes your noes look smaller. What most people don’t know, is that beautiful 40 years old Jennifer, who had always complained about her wide big noes and had wanted to have a nose job for more than a decade, used this simple makeup secret technique until January 2007. (when she finally had that noes Job she always wanted!). Jen used to swipe a bit of a bronzer powder with a blush brush, onto both sides of her nose in order to create an illusion of natural looking “smaller then it seems” noes. This makeup beauty secret works well with any skin tone and would definitely make a wide `banana`looking nose look thinner or smaller!

Ever wonder how a working women like Heidi Klum - a model, entrepreneur, TV host AND designer, manages to keep it all together AND have an amazing glowing tan the entire time?  Klum said: “I am good at doing many things and multi-tasking however, when I need to look sun-kissed, I get a spray tan and top it off with Bare Bronze moisturizer Body Oil by Victoria’s Secret!”

As you probably know, it is very true that some beautiful Celebrities and famous models like Heidi Klum are simply given the gift of naturally looking that way, however, since “Heidi loves sparkles and wants everything to be big and sparkly”, said her make-up artist Linda Hay, (which is the genius behind the Victoria’s Secret runway shows), she uses the airbrush tanning techniques in order to have a long lasting tan.
