A lot of people admire British beauty Adele for her incredible vocals. Others love Adele for her big, amazing hair. And some of us envy the U.K. singer for her peaches + cream complexion.
Adele has lovely, healthy, clear skin!
Of course, like most famous folks, Adele has a super team of hair + makeup people ready to adorn her for the red carpet. And these pros ALWAYS have some excellent beauty secrets.
So, how does Adele's complexion look so flawless?!
Her makeup artist Troy Suratt says it's-- all in the perfect primer. And his choice is expensive La Mer:
La Mer The Concentrate ($290, 1 oz).
Why is this so special?
The La Mer formula works FAST to iron everything out with its reparative marine/plant ingredients. But he uses it as a step in the makeup routine.
"Apply it as a primer," Troy advises.
He often uses the luxurious skin care treatment on the British star.
.
Troy massages the La Mer into Adele's skin to "eliminate puffiness around the eyes and increase circulation."
He adds that The Concentrate..."creates a smooth canvas for the foundation that allows makeup to last for hours."

Yeah...we all hate to admit it----Gisele looks in supermodel shape just 7 months after giving birth to baby Vivian.
Yoga does a body good, as most people would tell you.
Yoga keeps you slim + toned.

New Silicone Breast Implants FDA-Approved: For Ages 22 And Up
We like the name of these brand new adult breast implants:
MemoryShape.
Ha ha.
What makes MemoryShape unique?
According to the manufacturer, Mentor Worldwide LLC, it appears to be a safer silicone implant. In a news release, Mentor states that the breast implant has been "clinically studied among 955 augmentation and reconstruction patients participating in an ongoing 10-year study".... After 6 years, the study has found a low rate of "adverse events" including rupture.
We like that the implant is available in a range of sizes and tear-drop shaped to resemble the natural shape of a breast. Plus, more importantly--"to rebuild breast tissue (reconstruction) in women of any age."
"The data we reviewed showed a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness," says Dr. Shuren. "We will be looking at the results from post-approval studies that will focus on the implants' long-term safety and effectiveness."
No real explanation yet on why MemoryShape silicone breast implants are ONLY for adult women.
We believe this is welcoming news. With brand new FDA-approval of MemoryShape, there are now 5 FDA-approved silicone gel-filled breast implant products available in the U.S. manufactured by 3 companies: Allergan, Mentor and Sientra.
The more choices open to women in all aspects of life, the better it is.

Kim Kardashian Gives Birth Early Today To Baby Girl!! How Retin-A Can Help Post-Baby Body
Many blessings all around.
Congratulations to Kim Kardashian + Kanye West on the birth of their baby girl!
Sources say the reality star is resting comfortably after having her precious little one at 1:30 AM at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center this morning ... 5 weeks early, according to TMZ.com.
There are a lot rumors going around that it was a planned C-section, and yet, as we read from TMZ, a "natural birth.".
We're not sure how Kim K delivered her baby girl, we're just happy that both K-Mama + little one are doing well.
By the recent pics we had been seeing, it looked like the star was ready to pop out her baby ASAP!!
Kim Kardashian tried hard to be a glam pregnant gal, and we think she pulled it off pretty effortlessly. She took heaps of criticism for how she was dressing.
For Kim it's all about the pretty, and she tries for perfection every time. We hope she takes the time to enjoy her beautiful baby and not worry too much about the post-baby body.
For most women who have given birth, it's the stretch marks that REALLY get on their nerves.
Research shows that if you attack stretch marks early, then you can diminish their presence.
As long as you aren't nursing at the time, rubbing on Retin-A cream(tretinoin) can help FADE these bothersome lines:
"One study, conducted by Dr. Sewon Kang of the Department of Dermatology in the University of Michigan Medical Center, found that used daily for six months, tretinoin cream reduced the severity, length and width of 80 percent of the 10 women who used the cream, compared to one of 12 women who used an alternative cream."

Beauty Beyond 50 Isn't So Easy: Model Iman Is Leading The Pack
We wrote about actress Sandra Bullock yesterday, looking incredible in her 40s, 48 to be exact.
Now, let's take on the 50s. A woman's body is going through so much more, namely menopause. And that stage of life affects a lot of things resulting in:
weight gain
flabby tummy, hips
skin dryness
more wrinkles
thinner hair, etc.
But there are ways to keep it together. And model Iman is proof that age is just a number. In her case, 57 to be exact. Yup, this chick looks pretty darn good!! There she poses at the amfAR Cinema Against Aids gala ball at the famous Plaza Hotel in New York City last evening.

Now, many would probably argue that this iconic model has most likely achieved her ageless beauty through cosmetic surgery and or cosmetic dermatology.
Maybe. That could very well be true. But we don't find Iman artificial-looking. She reportedly leads a clean, healthy life and it certainly shows.
Of course, the long, elegant neck+ stunning bone structure helps Iman defy gravity. And she's always shown off such elegant, perfect posture with a toned, fit physique.
Okay, we're a big Iman fan. And every time we see her, she looks beautiful. Yes, a lot of it is styling with polished makeup + hair. Still, she's an excellent example of beauty beyond 50.
Maybe it's her makeup---ImanCosmetics.
