Is makeup almighty?

Filed in archive Beauty , Makeup , News on July 11, 2006

Many of us have sworn on numerous occasions that we couldn't live without this or that product from our makeup bags.

If you ask me, I would be lost without a good cleanser, moisturizer, concealer, a great lip-gloss, mascara, eye pencil and a pair of big sunglasses. I think I could live with only these makeup and cosmetic products and look as pretty as I do now, to be perfectly honest. Maybe I am not such a stunning beauty as I presume, but some days I put only aforementioned on my face and have no objections when I look in the mirror (remember girls, loving one self's natural look is a great beauty resource!)








So, you can imagine my surprise when I saw these photos of Eva Longoria, where the paparazzi caught her with no makeup on. Oh My God! She is a completely different person! You have to try really hard to see even the glimpse of that sex goddess from The Desperate Housewives!

Eva was Voted Sexiest TV Star of All Time. She beat out Jennifer Aniston, Kim Cattrall, Pamela Anderson, and Sarah Michelle Gellar, according to the tv.com. Which brings me to one question: is makeup almighty? One would dare to say so, when she compares 'nude' photos of Eva Longoria to her styled up ones.

Or is the almighty makeup hiding from us 'civilians'? Is it accessible only to the TV and movie stars, famous singers and starlets? I know a good foundation goes a long way, but the makeup on Eva should be super strong in order to make her appear so lovely on the red carpets. Whatever she's having, I'll have two (one for me and one for my best friend!).

Lastly, I should mention that Eva Longoria is a L'Oreal face, with a contract on a bit less than $2 million. Is she using super secret L'Oreal makeup kept hidden it the deepest and darkest corners of their laboratories which keeps her looking smashing on the series?

I'll leave you pondering about this one; let me know your thoughts.
