Jenny McCarthy on aging gracefully: I’m not interested!

Jenny McCarthy, former Playboy Playmate and host of her own new show, VH1’s The Jenny McCarthy Show, knows how imperative it is to age gracefully in front of the camera.

“I am Team Botox,” Jenny admits in an exclusive interview in the new issue of In Touch, on newsstands now. “I do it here and there. I use very little, so my face still moves,” she says of the procedure.

And although Jenny says she’s open to getting plastic surgery done in the future, she plans on waiting. “You don’t really need old-fashioned surgery any more with all the lasers and Botox,” she explains. “So I’m not sure I would go under the knife until I’m at least as old as Joan Rivers — like 99 or however old she is!”

Despite her success, Jenny says she’s not the next Oprah — “That’s like saying I’m the next God!” — but being in front of the camera does push her to bring her A-game. “Ninety percent of the way you look is what you eat, so I’m really just cautious. I’ll really fill up on fruits and vegetables,” she explains of her preparation for her upcoming show airing Fridays at 10:30 p.m. “Maybe I’ll guinea pig myself on new [beauty] treatments on the show. I’ll be the rat for America, without going overboard!”

New Contest: Lavanila 100% Natural Healthy Baby Collection

Did is you know that Baby skin is 5 times thinner than adults making them far more prone to high levels of chemical absorption? Lavanila’s 100% natural Healthy Baby Collection is chemical-free, and delivers 30 essential vitamins and minerals specifically formulated to support the health and development of delicate baby skin. Lavanilla is committed to creating the world’s healthiest baby care products.

LAVANILLA HEALTHY BABY COLLECTION INCLUDES:

  • Healthy Baby Wash ($16): This 100% natural two-in-one shampoo and body wash gently cleanses without stripping skin of essential moisture. The pH-balanced, tear-free formula soothes and calms skin with organic vanilla and chamomile as noni leaf and calendula promote healthy skin and protect against infection. While traditional baby wash uses sulfates, petrochemicals, formaldehyde and other harsh chemicals that can accumulate in the bloodstream and strip sensitive skin of moisture, the Healthy Baby Wash is completely free of chemicals and infused with 30 essential vitamins and minerals.
  •  Healthy Baby Lotion ($15): Providing daily nourishment and hydration, this weightless, fast-absorbing lotion strengthens and supports the development of healthy skin with 30 vitamins and minerals. Organic vanilla and chamomile soothe and calm as noni leaf and calendula nourish and protect. Free of synthetic preservatives and chemicals that can irritate babies’ sensitive skin like parabens, silicone and petrochemicals, the 100% natural hydrator includes a natural preservative system. 
  • Healthy Baby Bottom ($15): Developed to calm irritation and soothe redness, this 100% natural formula provides superior protection and prevention of diaper rash with natural zinc oxide instead of petrolatum, a harsh chemical derived from oil wells during gasoline production. Safe for newborns and up, the fragrance-free formula helps prevent future outbreaks as noni leaf and calendula promote healing and protect against infection. 
  • Healthy Baby Butter ($14): Providing ultra-rich hydration to soothe dry skin and calm redness, this 100% natural nourishing butter is formulated with 30 vitamins and minerals selected to strengthen and support the development of healthy skin. Pure shea and cocoa butters soften and comfort instantly, while noni leaf and calendula heal and organic vanilla and chamomile calm. The formula trades harsh chemicals and preservatives for 100% healthy, skin compatible botanicals and oils. 
  • Healthy Baby Block ($20): Combining titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, this chemical-free, healthy sunscreen protects delicate skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays to provide 100% natural SPF 40 protection. Formulated with shea butter, calendula and noni juice, the biodegradable, fragrance-free formula hydrates, moisturizes, and replenishes vitamins and minerals. While standard sunblocks contain harsh chemicals like PABA, parabens, phthalates, nanoparticles and synthetic fragrances, the Healthy Baby Block forms a physical barrier to safely protect babies’ delicate skin. Consult your physician for use over six months. 

 

CONTEST: One Lucky MakeHerUp reader will receive the Lavanila’s 100% natural Healthy Baby Collection prize pack (Healthy Baby Wash, Healthy Baby Lotion, Healthy Baby Bottom, Healthy Baby Butter, Healthy Baby Block – $80 Value)

Michelle Williams “OZ the Great and Powerful” Los Angeles Premiere- Look by Sabrina Bedrani for Laura Mercier

Makeup artist Sabrina Bedrani created a “chic yet sexy” makeup look for Williams, who stars in the upcoming movie, “OZ the Great and Powerful.” Bedrani drew inspiration for the look from the star’s white, embellished Prada dress, which also featured an unexpected thigh-high slit down the side. Noted Bedrani,”I loved this look for Michelle. It’s sophisticated, yet still youthful. It complemented her hair style and dress nicely.”

EYES: According to Bedrani, “It was actually Michelle’s idea to go for a smoky cat eye.”

  • Bedrani used a combination of Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colours to create the sultry eye look. First, she applied Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour in Cocoa ($24) all over the lid and along the bottom lash line.
  • Then, she used a brush to swipe Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour in Khaki ($24) onto the top and bottom of the outer corner of her eyes to add depth. She blended the shade outward to “extend the eye and give it a cat-eye effect.” She applied Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour in Rose Gold ($24) onto the inner corners to brighten the look.
  • Next, she defined Williams’ eyes by applying Laura Mercier Crème Eye Liner in Noir ($22) onto the lash line.
  • Then, she filled in Williams’ eyebrows using Laura Mercier Eye Brow Pencil in Fair Blonde ($20) and used Laura Mercier Eye Brow Gel ($20) to define the shape. Bedrani added the final touch of glamour by applying multiple coats of Laura Mercier Faux Lash Mascara ($24) to Williams’ top and bottom lashes.

FLAWLESS FACE: Bedrani kept Williams’ face “fresh and youthful.”

  • First Bedrani applied Laura Mercier Silk Crème Foundation in Cream Ivory ($43) to even out Williams’ skin.
  • She then used Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage in SC-1 ($30) to conceal any little imperfections.
  • Next, she dusted Laura Mercier Loose Setting Powder ($35) all over her skin to set the look.
  • Then, Bedrani applied Laura Mercier Second Skin Cheek Colour in Rose Bloom ($24) to the star’s cheeks.

LIPS: A delicate, natural pink lip balanced the dramatic eyes.

  • Bedrani “dabbed a little” Laura Mercier Lip Stain in Shy Pink ($20) onto Willaims’ lips.
  • She finished the glamorous look by layering Laura Mercier Lip Glacé in Bare Pink ($24) on top.

Mila Kunis “OZ the Great and Powerful” Los Angeles Premiere -Look by Tracey Levy for Laura Mercier

Makeup artist Tracey Levy created a “fresh and light” makeup look for actress Mila Kunis at the LA premiere of her movie, “OZ the Great and Powerful.” Inspired by the star’s “beautiful princess dress” by Dolce and Gabbana, Levy created a look that was “natural but effortlessly glamorous” with a “light touch of Audrey Hepburn.”

FLAWLESS FACE: “Natural and effortlessly glamorous.”

  • Levy prepped Kunis’ skin with RéVive Intensité Moisture Serum Extrême ($350) to restore the skin’s natural moisture, followed by Laura Mercier Foundation Primer ($32) to help her makeup look fresh through the entire evening. At this time, she also prepped Kunis’ lips with Laura Mercier Lip Silk ($22) adding extra moisture and nourishment.

  • Next, she contoured her eye crease lightly with Laura Mercier Matte Eye Colour in Café au Lait ($23) for a bit of depth. Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour in Rose Gold ($24) was used as a highlight on the lids.
  • Levy then used Laura Mercier Crème Eye Liner in Noir and Violet ($22) to line Kunis’ eyes “for a bit of drama.” She also applied Laura Mercier Tightline Cake Eye liner in Black Ebony ($23) along the lash line.
