Elizabeth Hurley Makes Effort with Looks

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty,

Elizabeth Hurley has to make more effort with her appearance now she's older.

The 46-year-old beauty says reaching a certain age shouldn't mean looking worse and insists that 40-plus women should always look fabulous even though it takes more time.

"I love women looking fabulous and I don't think growing older means looking less good. For me, it's less about trying to look younger and more about making sure you look your absolute best. Without doubt, once I hit 40 I had to make more effort," the Gossip Girl star said.

Elizabeth - who is engaged to Australian cricketer Shane Warne - also admitted her modeling experience has changed her outlook on beauty: "When Estee Lauder approached me out of the blue and asked me to work for them I was staggered, as I'd never modeled before in my life. They taught me to make and appearance and now, eighteen years on, it's become a habit. I don't look glamorous every day as I work and have my son to look after, but I watch my weight, don't drink much alcohol, don't go out much and try not to bite my nails."

Celebrity Boutique will allow fashion fans to purchase unique items of clothing that once belonged to stars, and many of which were worn to public events. The former Spice Girl is to give away a piece from her own fashion collection, which she wore to a family meal at London’s exclusive Claridge’s hotel following her first ever in-store showcase at Selfridges department store.

UK Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman is another of the great and good of the fashion world who has got involved in the initiative: “As a trustee of The Royal Marsden Cancer Campaign, I am delighted to help with the Celebrity Boutique. The work of the campaign is vitally important in furthering both research and treatment of cancer and it’s terrific to have been able to use fashion as part of this.”

Elizabeth Hurley Reveals More Controversial Dieting Techniques

Want to look like Elizabeth Hurley? The model-turned-actress claims that not eating breakfast keeps her slim.

The 45-year-old beauty has confessed she starts the day with mugs of hot water, followed later by a snack of oat cakes and an occasional espresso. After returning from holiday in France, she Tweeted, “My diet survived the onslaught of phenomenal vacation food-doctors disagree, but I swear by almost nothing for breakfast for adults. Mugs of hot water first thing, maybe an espresso and a few oat cakes mid morning.”

Earlier she had posted, “Another workout in the gym with the Australian and an awful lot of hot water. Sick of it now.”

Elizabeth, who is married to businessman Arun Nayar and has eight-year-old son Damian from a previous relationship, has been blasted by nutrition experts for her admission. “If you think that some hot water and a coffee is all you need to look like Liz Hurley, then I’m afraid you are wrong. This is not the breakfast that I would recommend to people with regular lives. First thing in the morning your body has not had any food or fuel all night and needs something to kick-start your day. The coffee will give you a kick but you will be relying on your body’s reserves and by mid-morning you would be more likely to snack on something unhealthy like a muffin,” said leading nutritionist Carina Norris.

Elizabeth Hurley Admits Maintaining Beauty is Hard

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, Models,

Former model and actress Elizabeth Hurley admits it’s harder to look good as you get older.

The 44-year-old, who hosted Harper’s Bazaar‘s “Fabulous At Every Age” party in New York last Thursday, says it’s important for women over a certain age to spend more time on their appearance as they need to make more effort to look stunning.

“When you’re older, you have to have your hair cut regularly, you have to pluck your eyebrows regularly, you have to stay slim, and you have to exercise more. So if you don’t give up, you stand out more.”

The Estée Lauder beauty also denied she had undergone plastic surgery to maintain her looks: “Don’t be ridiculous, I look so much more than that and, no, no surgery, not yet. I really don’t have a beauty regime. The only thing I do - obviously - is pluck my eyebrows because I would look like Denis Healey if I didn’t. There is a huge change in your metabolism after 40, and for the first time ever I am having to watch what I eat because I’m quite greedy by nature.”
