Supermodels Go Without Makeup in September Issue of Harper's Bazaar

In Harper Bazaar's latest Fall Fashion issue, the magazine asked eight of the most iconic Nineties supermodels -- Amber Valletta, Shalom Harlow, Kristen McMenamy, Helena Christensen, Nadja Auermann, Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer and Tatjana Patitz -- to wash off the makeup and go au naturale for Peter Lindbergh's lens.

Perhaps not a huge surprise, even with a few wrinkles here and there, they all still look supremely gorgeous -- especially 43-year-old Crawford.

Her anti-aging secret? "Women forget to take care of their décolletage, and it shows their age," she tells the magazine, adding that she protects her chest and complexion with her own skincare line with Jean-Lous Sebagh, Meaningful Beauty.

    "Your hair texture changes as you age; mine used to be a lot more smooth," says Crawford. "I use Moroccanoil Treatment to keep it hydrated."

    Claudia Schiffer, 39
    "What I eat affects my skin," says Schiffer. "Anything that's heavy, like dairy or sweets breaks out my complexion and it doesn't look as fresh. When I stopped eating dairy, my skin looked nicer."

    Peter Lindbergh for Harper's Bazaar

    Helena Christensen, 40
    "After I get the microdermabrasion and green-tea facial, my skin feels unbelievably soft and dewy," says Christensen of her favorite services at Christine Chin Spa in New York City.

Schiffer, on the other hand, said that cutting dairy out of her diet helped her skin look its best. "Fresh carrot or apple juice and water with lemon and ginger help give my skin a healthy look," she says.

Harlow also looks to the fridge for her beauty fix. "I love putting yogurt and egg whites on my face," she confesses. "It's so moisturizing and soothing."

Pick up the September issue of Harper's Bazaar -- with youthful covergirl Leighton Meister -- for more supermodel beauty tips.

Don't fret, not everyone looks this good sans makeup, check out celebs without makeup here.

ACAI-EEZ IS A SCAM. IT WON'T HELP ANYONE LOSE WEIGHT

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Consumers should be skeptical of health and weight-loss claims of the increasingly popular Brazilian fruit, acai.

The Center for Science in the Public Interest said companies offering free trials of diet pills made with the acai berries have bilked thousands of consumers using fake celebrity endorsements and blogs to lure customers.


Acai (pronounced a-sigh-EE) comes in a number of forms including juice, pulp, powder and capsule. The berry has been touted as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and an antibacterial. The fruit is said to contain Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, which are essential to human health.

Claims of weight loss are unfounded, said the CSPI.

"There's no evidence whatsoever to suggest that acai pills will help shed pounds, flatten tummies, cleanse colon, enhance sexual desire, or perform any of the other commonly advertised functions," according to the organization's press release.

Acai's popularity has surged on bogus marketing claims, said Jonny Bowden, a certified nutrition specialist and author of several health books.

"Virtually every berry -- blueberry, strawberry, goji, acai -- are anti-inflammatory and high in antioxidants," Bowden said. "This particular one is exotic. It's found in Brazil. It's been marketed to have more of a magic ingredient. It's been over-hyped and marketed to death. There are claims to curing cancer, curing baldness that is all over the place."

Like most berries, acai has good nutritional qualities, but "there is not a drop of research" that supports marketing claims that it prevents weight gain and facial wrinkles, Bowden said.

Acai juices sell for as much as $40 per bottle.

"The expensive acai berry is triumph of marketing over science, that's the bottom line," Bowden said. "It's not useless, but it's not anything that people are claiming it is."

After a doctor listed acai as a healthy food on the Oprah Winfrey show last year, and a guest on Rachael Ray's cooking show mentioned the fruit, ads popped up directing consumers to sites selling acai weight loss products as if endorsed by the celebrities. Winfrey and Ray have publicly disassociated themselves from those sites.

Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal is investigating numerous complaints and said a lawsuit against FWM Laboratories is very likely.


"There are no magical berries from the Brazilian rain forest that cure obesity, only painfully real credit card charges and empty weight loss promises," Blumenthal said. "Aggressive acai berry pitches on the Internet entice countless consumers into free trials promising weight loss, energy and detoxification. These claims are based on folklore, traditional remedies and outright fabrications unproved by real scientific evidence."

This is NOT an ad, but a real comment, to wit, anyone who believes these photos are neither without cosmetic and digital retouching is naive to the max. I worked in the modeling industry for years, and it's insulting that these photos are disseminated as "natural". At least one of the models is wearing lashes...another's lashes may be permanently dyed and cosmetically enhanced. There's tons of other stuff. Occasionally, the tabloids show celebrities REALLY bare-faced and those aren't glamorous. In fact, most actors and models are not as gorgeous in real life as they are through the lens; THAT's the talent. A lot of great-looking people simply don't translate elegantly to two dimensions. A few models really are that beautiful...Lauren Hutton, for instance, was a stunner in the flesh, but most -- and I've seen three out of these four in-person -- are simply more normal looking without all the enhancement. This doesn't make them lesser models. I offer all this only to suggest that the young women who measure their own looks against these supposedly "natural" images should be alerted to the false gods.

Your comment was buried in spam, but I agree. These models are obviously wearing eye makeup, so why should we believe they have no other makeup on?

I'm not a makeup professional, I'm just an average woman who is not an idiot.

Acai-eez Burn contains Green tea extract, grapefruit, apple cider as well as other potent fat burners. Get your facts straight. They never auto bill, like the other companies like Acai Slim and Mr. Power Colon Cleanse that rip you off. Acai is a super food, but when combined with the other components you get on hell of a fat burner. I know I take it daily. I have been following you around. You guys post all these companies and bash everyone else's products or thoughts. Acai-eez is the only company that NEVER auto bills! Check them out http://www.Acai-eez.com/

Nikki Vee = thank you for your comments
these are not natural
it is well lit = black and white
I would truly love to see these gals not lit in bright light having their photo taken
they are still made up or blemishes are concealed as well as wrinkles or else the photographers ' light is so bright that nothing shows
it is all bs
be honest magazines
like when you air brush pounds off of people on your covers

Anyone who says the ACAI diet works is a liar. The only thing you will get that works is a whole Lotta charges to your credit card that you did not approve of. Check the better business bureau and see the horrible ratings for this company. They will rip you off!

They all still look stunning and beautiful, but I think it would have a much stronger effect to see pictures of them without make-up when they were younger. It would be great to start this trend to younger supermodels and actresses as well, to change the mentality of make-up from a necessity, to more of an accessory. That would mean, taking care of yourself more i.e. exercise, diet and not solely relying on make-up to enhance your appearance. Claudia admits to not eating dairy for fresher skin, it seems only an older generation is willing to change habits to preserve youth and beauty. Magazines are printed to promote make-up sales, so I doubt it will be a future trend but it would be nice...

Bull! These women are all wearing some eye makeup. they've also had their lips puffed up.

Just because they've not wearing foundation doesn't mean they're make up free.

So dishonest.

Please.....Cindy Crawford is NOT without makeup...you can plainly see the brown eyeshadow and mascara and there is blush on her cheeks. She may be without foundation and lipstick but there is no way this woman is totally without makeup. Sad she lets her vanity get in the way.

DAMN! I DO MEAN DAMN!!!!! These models need to put that make up back on. After all, make up is what makes these models look pretty anyhow. Some have natural beauty...most don't.
