See What Lisa Rinna Looks Like Without Any Makeup

app2594891259004570.jpg

Lisa Rinna is known for glamming it up on the red carpet.

But the actress, 46, wanted to give fans a glimpse of what she looks like when she’s not in front of the camera.

So she’s posted a photo of herself – without any makeup on!

“This is what it looks like before beauty team arrives,” she Twittered Monday. “Just keepin it real ppl!” I want a beauty team!!

Earlier this year, Rinna expressed regret over getting so much plastic surgery.

She told the web site momlogic.com that she “overdid” it by getting dermal filler injection Juvederm in her cheeks.

“When you change your face, you don’t look like yourself,” she said. “Looking fresher is one thing. I look like a freak! I always said I wouldn’t change my face, but I did it.”

Vaseline Fast Absorbing Face and Body Lotion for Men

Your skin is a miracle material. It is your body’s first line of defense and when it is healthy, it is able to withstand extreme conditions – heat, cold, wetness, dryness, abrasion – and even heal itself when damaged.

But did you know that:

* Men’s skin is thicker and oiler than women’s skin – that is why you need products that are specifically designed for men’s unique skin needs
* Your lifestyle may be dehydrating your skin without you even knowing it
o A day spent outdoors can drain at least ½ pint of water from your skin
o After a swim or a shower, it can take your skin up to 8 hours to rehydrate

That’s why it is critical to keep your skin hydrated with New Vaseline® MEN – a range of skin care products uniquely designed to help fortify men’s skin to make it resilient for healthy and strong skin, so it can endure whatever the world throws its way.

Keep Vaseline® MEN Body & Face lotion on standby at home or take the convenient sized Hand lotion tube with you on the go.

New Vaseline® MEN Body & Face and Hand lotion range for resilient, moisturized skin to keep you looking and feeling healthy:

Fast Absorbing Body & Face Lotion

* Instant relief for everyday dryness
* Non-greasy formula absorbs within seconds

New Vaseline® Sheer Infusion TM with Stratys-3TM

Only Vaseline® Sheer Infusion™ with Stratys-3™ delivers superior moisture to all layers of skin

Some moisturizers only treat the top layers of your surface skin, leaving it feeling greasy. Others sink through so quickly and your skin is not thoroughly moisturized.

Introducing Vaseline Sheer Infusion TM with patented Stratys-3TM.

Vaseline® Sheer Infusion TM with Stratys-3™ is designed to work differently. Vaseline® Sheer Infusion TM infuses and suspends moisture across all layers of skin*, for twice the moisture and an unmatched silky skin feel, compared to leading everyday body lotions.

What is Stratys-3™?

Stratys-3™ is the most effective patented moisturizing complex on the market**. It combines three powerful ingredients that infuse and suspend moisture across all layers of skin*– at the top, the core, and deep down.

To learn more about the science, click here.

The Botanical Blend formula contains botanical Cypress extract and Eucalyptus extract, which is known for its soothing skin benefits. It can be used daily and is available in retailers nationwide in both a 6.8 oz bottle and 13.5 oz pump size.

The Mineral Renewal formula contains enriching minerals, like those found in healthy skin. It can be used daily and is available in retailers nationwide in both a 6.8 oz bottle and 13.5 oz pump size.

Copy the look: Moonstruck eyes!

 cd-_2-11-23-09.jpg

Celebrity makeup artist Christopher Drummond, who has worked with celebrities, such as Jennifer Lopez, Brooke
Shields, Jane Fonda, Glenn Close and Eve Ensler, offers his advice for looking flawless this holiday season.

According to Christopher, “A big trend both in fashion and in makeup for the holidays is the “moonstruck” look. Nothing says glamour like a gown and smokey eyes. And this season, the dresses are slender and simple with an occasional train and details to dazzle. To compliment your fabulous dress, makeup is flirty and smoky.”

Here are Christopher’s tips for achieving the perfect smokey eye:

1. Start with a beige shadow base all over the entire lid

2. Take a gold shadow, and apply it 3/4 of the way up, not quite all the way up to the brow. Leave some space between
where you stop and the brow

3. Apply a blue/grey shadow from the crease (middle) of the eye to the base of the lashes. Be sure to blend it well,
back and forth. This helps the product adhere, and stay on longer

4. On the outer corner of the lid, blend in a purple eye shadow to give some extra “sizzle.” Blend well

5. Finally, use a black liner to line the base of the lashes. Follow with mascara.

To compliment the smokey eyes, Christopher suggests lush lips and radiant cheeks. The new Fall/Winter 2009 Color Collection from Christopher Drummond Beauty (christopherdrummondbeauty.com) has products for all the trends for holiday in one collection (plus it’s all-natural, vegan and organic).
