In a genius move, French cosmetics giant L'Oréal has signed up Helen Mirren. How fabulous is that?! I've written a feature for the Guardian; read all about it HERE.
What do you think - has the beauty industry finally wised up?
Absolutely wised up! She is stunning and would catch my attention in an ad. It is very inspiring to me and I would guess to many others...hopefully we will see more.
Love Helen Mirren in general, it is so refreshing to see a woman who actually looks her age and is beautiful! I just wish they hadn't put such a pale pink lip on her, I find that aging.
Without a doubt Helen Mirren looks fantastic, but there has certainly been a little help along the way to maintain such a firm jawline, neck and décolleté when your approaching 70, be it airbrushing or surgical. Mind you, when the results are that good, I'd certainly consider it.
Yes she's not your typical older woman. However a great marketing ploy as we hope to look that good after purchasing their products. What one really needs is her plastic surgeon!
That's fantastic! As a baby boomer, I'm not ready to give up the clout of my demographic! And she looks so cool with paler lips and darker eyes. This is a good look for her.
I love Helen Mirren, but I am also remembering the way L'Oreal Photoshopped Diane Keaton to the point where she looked about 17. Which is to say, I'm skeptical.

ReplyDeleteBrilliant article Alyson, well done!
ReplyDeleteShe has beautiful gray hair, but it's been made blonde in this photo! I guess having gray hair would be too much oldness. Pity. Get real L'Oreal!
ReplyDeleteSavvy move by L'Oreal, HM (Helen Mirren or Her Majesty!) looks great.

ReplyDeleteIt's great! Women want to believe a product works, but companies make it hard when they show photos of young women. Helen looks fabulous.
ReplyDeleteShe looks great but does anybody really believe this picture is not

ReplyDeleteGenius & inspired ......perhaps a wee touch of Photoshop but not enough to cause any foot stamping!, well maybe a little!
ReplyDeleteLove her and it is a great choice but then why photoshop her to death.I Think she looks better in real life.
ReplyDeletevivien & Paula - yep, she has had help but I still think that this is inspiring.
ReplyDeleteGreat news and inspiring piece for the Guardian!

ReplyDeleteOne word, envy. Yep that's all I can say. Envy.
ReplyDeleteHelen admits to plastic surgery and there is obvious photo enhancement. I don't care. She is a phenomenal talent and I want her to keep working.
ReplyDeleteThis is true, Kat.
ReplyDeleteHelen is gorgeous. I want to be her when I grow up.
