Hollywood Celebrities Madonna and Anne Hathaway’s Beauty Secrets.

Hollywood celebrities Madonna and Anne Hathaway’s beauty secrets.

 How does Madonna keep her skin looking so radiant and supple at the age of 54? What is the secret behind those smouldering looks? If these are questions that often come to mind when you see her perform in a concert and in music videos, you finally have your answers. Gina Brooke who is the official make-up artist of Madonna and various other A-list Hollywood celebrities, spills the beans on Madonna’s skincare regimen exclusively for health.india.com. Not just that, she also tells us about another Hollywood hottie – Anne Hathaway’s beauty secrets in this article.

Skincare is an essential prerequisite to beautiful make-up. When prepping the skin, I always customise the skin treatments according to the client’s skin type and also keep in mind the environment in which the client will be working – whether we are shooting a film or a commercial outside in a cold environment, or performing on stage under hot lights in a humid and challenging atmosphere. It is imperative to treat every client like an individual rather than using the same skincare routine on all clients. Choosing a proper skincare regimen will determine the longevity and durability of beautiful looking skin and makeup. Depending on whether the client travels often or has sensitive or problematic skin, it may actually take me longer to prep the skin than actually applying make-up.

I always say that your skin is a reflection of what is going on inside your body and Madonna takes excellent care of both her skin and body. I prep her skin using an oxygen skin treatment by infusing vitamins A, E, C, green tea extract, aloe vera and a low molecular weight of hylaronic acid to revive, rejuvenate and protect the skin against free radicals and harsh environments. This specific treatment takes approximately 40 minutes followed by a primer to prep the skin before make-up. The treatment using oxygen is provided by aestheticians and dermatologists at high-end spas. However, there are home treatments that are very affordable and are the next best thing.

Anne Hathaway also has beautiful skin, however, our skin is receptive to our environment and when working in New York during the winter months, the extreme weather can affect her skin. I prep her skin using a cold mask loaded with hylaronic acid for hydration. This is followed by a moisturiser using low molecular weights of hylaronic acid mixed with a vitamin C booster to brighten the skin. This takes appropriately 15-20 minutes before make-up.

When purchasing products that contain hylaronic acid, you want to look for a low molecular weight so that it absorbs in the skin rather than just remaining on the surface. I always use blotting papers to blot any excess oils on the skin before applying make-up.

No matter what your budget is, there are so many products that are affordable and very effective in the market and the best advice is to do your research and experiment.

Get Inspired by Madonna’s Fit Body.

Madonna, the Queen of Pop, doesn’t shy away from flaunting her toned body in her concerts and music videos. So what keeps her looking young and gorgeous at 54? Her fitness trainer, Nicole Winhoffer shares a few fitness secrets.

According to Winhoffer, Madonna is one of the hardest working individuals around and she loves to maintain her body no matter what her age is. She is dedicated to her regimen and works out six days in a week for two hours each day. Even with a busy schedule, she manages to take out time for her body.

 

Workout is not the only thing that gives the pop diva such an envious body; it involves a proper diet, rest, discipline and focus too.                                          

 

Nicole who has been training Madonna since 2009, advises women to take inspiration from Madonna and start working out to get in shape. Instead of making excuses for not exercising, they should ask themselves why they are being lazy and write in big, bold letters – I am going to be the best version of myself – to motivate themselves.

In order to stay in the best shape, one needs to commit to one’s exercise regimen. 30 minutes of cardio, and 30 minutes of toning makes for a good workout according to Winhoffer. But eating well is also important. Focus on your protein intake to become lean she advises.

Shakira Shares Parenting Pressure.

Shakira believes moms these days face more 'pressure'.

The Columbian singer and her soccer player husband Gerard Piqué welcomed their first child, Milan, into the world in January.

Soon after, Shakira returned to work on the US edition of The Voice, lending her expertise as a mentor with co-stars Usher, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton.

The pretty star is already in great shape, but admits it wasn't easy shedding the pounds she put on during pregnancy.

'[Losing baby weight] is the only thing that’s been a little stressful... I knew I had to come back here to do The Voice two months after I had delivered a baby. I didn’t have my four months of maternity like every woman on earth has. I’m not trying to complain, but it’s been a process full of challenges,' she confessed to People magazine.

'I think that our mothers and grandmothers weren’t under the pressure women of today are after delivering a baby. My dad says there’s nothing better than meat over the bones. So he likes my mom a little chubby. She was never under the pressure to have to get to her old weight - and she never did.'

The 36-year-old feels she is still 'a few pounds over' her ideal weight, but is working towards her target with healthy meals and regular exercise.

Sometimes her work schedule and her parenting duties manage to get in the way of a good workout though.

'I do Zumba. Zumba has been actually really great for me... Even during pregnancy, I kept doing it until almost the end,' she revealed.

'Now with The Voice, I don’t have time to exercise... And when I have a day off, I just want to be with Milan.' power by : arabia.msn.com

Kim Kardashian, Kris Humphries Settle Divorce, Avoid Trial.

LOS ANGELES: The marriage of Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries, which began with a storybook wedding, ended Friday in a grim courtroom with a judge approving a divorce settlement after a protracted legal battle between the former couple.

"I think this is a reasonable way to resolve this case," said Superior Court Judge Hank Goldberg, who did not disclose terms of the settlement.

Humphries sent his lawyer but did not appear in court. Kardashian, who is pregnant with a child by her boyfriend Kanye West, appeared in a black silk puffy sleeveless maternity dress embellished with sequins on the skirt.

"Ms. Kardashian, is this your signature?'' the judge asked her as he perused a three-page settlement agreement.

"Yes," she replied. She continued to answer yes when asked if she had discussed the matter with her attorney and understood that there would be no trial.

"During your marriage did irreconcilable differences occur?" the judge asked.

"Yes," said Kardashian.

"Is there any way your marriage can be saved?" he asked.

"No," said Kardashian.

She married the NBA player in a high-profile wedding in August 2011. She filed for divorce later that year.

He sought an annulment claiming their marriage in an elaborate wedding ceremony was a fraud staged for her reality show, "Keeping Up With the Kardashians."

She denied the allegations and insisted on a traditional divorce. She apparently won.

"The court is going to grant dissolution of marriage," the judge said, advising that the divorce would not be final until papers are drawn up and signed.

Humphries did not attend the brief hearing. His lawyer, Benjamin Johnson, said he agreed to the settlement. The judge dropped an order for the Brooklyn Nets power forward to appear and explain why he failed to attend a previous hearing.

Kardashian was hustled into court by sheriff's deputies through a back entrance and no photos were allowed.

The judge congratulated Johnson and Kardashian's attorney, Laura Wasser, for achieving the settlement.

"I wish both parties the best of luck as they move forward with their lives," he said. (AP)

Heidi Klum Talks Children’s Line.

Heidi Klum has described her clothing line for kids as being filled with 'vivid prints and colours'.

The model recently launched Truly Scrumptious, a collection of children's clothes inspired by her own brood.

The 39-year-old mother-of-four says it was witnessing her tots' playful approach to dressing that first got her thinking about designing a line of her own.

'Many pieces in the spring collection reflect the styles that my kids enjoy, from vivid prints and colours, like florals and neons, to monsters and characters that give a punch of personality,' Heidi told British magazine Hello! 'As they get older my children become more interested in choosing their own clothes. They come up with unique and mismatched outfits - but they also have a playfulness that inspires me.'

Heidi has three children from her marriage to singer Seal: Henry, seven, Johan, six, and daughter Lou, three, and Heidi also has Leni, eight, from a previous relationship. While most of her brood are too old to rock her designs, her youngest is still small enough to wear some of the items in the line.

'Unfortunately, they're a bit old for the collection, although my youngest Lou wears a lot of the pieces. She loves the sparkles and the glitter as well as a few pieces from the boys' line,' Heidi continued. 'My kids all have different tastes and they change from day to day. That's what's so fun about fashion: you can mix and match and try new things.'

Sarah Hyland Prefers Light Scents.

Sarah Hyland loves 'super light' body mists.

The Modern Family actress fronts the new Heart Calgon range of products aimed at 16 to 21-year-old females. While Sarah enjoys experimenting with different perfumes, for everyday wear she prefers a less heavy scent. Her favourite one to use is the Fresh Start scent in Heart Calgon.

'They aren’t as potent. They are super light and fresh,' she explained to WWD.

The 22-year-old star revealed that before agreeing to promote the new Calgon collection she tested out different fragrances on her boyfriend Matt Prokop to see if he approved.

Recent findings suggest consumers prefer lighter mists that come with a lower price tag over traditionally pricy eau de toilettes.

'There’s a disconnect between fragrance customers and the fragrance industry,' said Mark Crames, chief executive officer of Demeter Fragrance Library. 'Ninety-nine percent of what is being launched is high prestige or couture.'

Sarah showcases four new Calgon fragrances by embodying different personalities in a series of online videos. She recently revealed it’s 'fun' to 'mix and match' her scents depending on her mood.

Sarah also insists you don’t have to spend a fortune on your make-up, revealing she usually sticks to products from L’Oréal and CoverGirl. She is also happy shopping for fashion and beauty bargains in US chain stores Target and Walgreens.

Chris Brown Says He's "Absolutely" Sure He Won't Physically Assault Rihanna Again

Chris Brown really wants forgiveness, and it has nothing to do with the fact that he's got a new album coming out this summer. Yeah, OK. Well, Monday morning, the 23-year-old singer dropped by Today to chat about his new music (which he hopes will "inspire the world") and, of course, his infamous 2009 assault on Rihanna. "For me, you know, I've been humbled by the whole experience," he told Matt Lauer. "From me losing everything, you know, to me having to regain public opinion or whatever it is—but most importantly, you know, knowing that what I did was totally wrong and having to kind of deal with myself and kind of forgive myself in the same breath and being able to apologize to, you know, Rihanna and be that man that can be a man, you know?" Chris writes new song for Rihanna, says negativity is in the past Lauer pointed out that not all of Chris' recent behavior has shown growth and maturity. So for those who don't believe Breezy is a new man? "I think everybody is entitled to their opinion," he said diplomatically. "For me, it's just a learning process. You know, I have to just take it one day at a time. I can't make everybody like me...it's about me being positive." Chris credited his 52 weeks of domestic-violence counseling with helping him to understand, he says, "why did I do what I did?" "Knowing that what I did was wrong, and never doing it again," he added. "So as far as me and [Rihanna] are concerned, she knows my heart, and I know her heart. So I'm not really focused on the negative." Hear more from Chris about his assault on Rihanna He also noted that he and Rihanna are "fine" and that "everything's good" now between the tumultuous twosome. When Lauer asked if Brown was sure another domestic-violence incident will never happen again, the singer laughingly answered, "Absolutely!"
