With a trade mark smile as recognizable as Lauren Hutton’s – She has always had an edge on beauty. Following her success as a top fashion model for the Ford Modeling Agency and Revlon cosmetics and gracing the cover page of Vogue nearly 25 times in 1995, Hutton was selected to play the only major female character in Paper Lion (1968). Her modeling career was resuscitated in 1989 with photos in catalogs for Barneys and J. Crew.

Flawless subtle skin is what makes this look so classic and clean. Embrace your beauty and your freckles (if you have them). Let them shine through with a more relaxed use of foundation or concealer coverage. An unfinished brow gives a fresh natural finish to this look – here is how to achieve this look with all natural makeup:

1. Apply RMS Cream Eyeshadow in Seduce to eyelids. Continue under lower lash line for a more defined eye.

2. Apply minimal foundation allowing for a “fresh skin” look. I like RMS “Un” Coverup Concealer in your shade choice. Apply only where needed to cover up redness and blemishes. Lightly dust Dr. Hauschka Translucent Face Powder over the skin to finish.

3. Blush completes this look for a healthy california glow. Apply Mineral Fusion Bronzer in Luster generously to cheeks. Apply the highlighter in the compact to tops of cheeks and bridge of nose. Feel free to dust over collar bones and shoulders.

4. Brows should be combed upwards and set with Jane Iredale PureBrow Fix. If you need to fill in brows be sure not to add too much color to keep the look subtle and natural.

5. Organic Glam Lipstick in Nude takes out the blush of your lip without looking heavy.

6. A coat of Jane Iredale Longest Lash Mascara is the perfect finale.

“Know that life is a gift, kindness is a necessity, and our planet should be loved like a child” – Christy Coleman

One of the first established makeup artists to greenify her makeup case, Christy Coleman is one smart cookie. Having deduced that her father’s untimely death a few years ago from ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis/ Lou Gehrig’s Disease) could perhaps have been caused, or at least exacerbated, by the toxic chemicals to which her father was readily exposed, Christy decided to take her personal passion for green living into her professional arena and has been using natural make up on her clients ever since. Clients which have included Giselle Bundchen, Heidi Klum, Emmy Rossum, Amanda Peet and Sheryl Crow, no less, and photographers such as Arthur Elgort, Irving Penn, Patrick Demarchelier and Gilles Bensimon.

But even if you aren’t likely to enter her sphere of influence professionally, Christy kindly shares everything she knows via her blog and Twitter feeds, which she updates regularly.

This week on the blog, you’ll find a piece on the ‘Top 5 Foods for Beautiful Skin’, while on the site you can see which brands Christy loves and uses. And, if you go to the skin care bit and you’ll see a certain organic skin care company on there that we know and love only too well!

That fact aside, though, we think Christy is a real champion and hope she continues to work her powers on the rich and famous as well as the not-so-rich-and-famous as she fights the good, natural, organic fight.

Manuka Honey is one of my greatest discoveries, and I have been using it as part of my beauty routine and diet for years. The Manuka shrub is native to New Zealand and southeast Australia. It is found throughout New Zealand but is particularly common on the drier east coasts of the North Island and the South Island, and in Australia in Tasmania, Victoria and New South Wales. Manuka Honey has the ability to absorb impurities from the pores in the skin, making it an ideal cleansing agent. It’s especially effective in fading sun spots and killing bacteria. A known relief to many acne sufferers, I am a huge fan of how Manuka helps to clear the skin as it works to restore moisture.

DIY Manuka Honey Facial Mask: Apply to clean skin, covering your entire face, neck and decollete. Allow the honey to soak into the skin for about fifteen minutes. Using a washcloth, gently rinse with warm water. Your skin will be left with a healthy subtle glow.

A great multi-tasker, Manuka is as effective externally as it is internally. It is packed full of extraordinary healing properties that are capable of helping to naturally treat a wide spectrum of health conditions such as ulcers, acid reflux, gastritis, strep throat, acne, wounds, burns, eczema, and wrinkles. Whether you are drizzling this magnificent honey onto your skin, an avocado, a piece of toast or in your cup of tea, Manuka is a great addition to your health and beauty routine for all of the glorious benefits it will bring to your well being, your skin and your health. Enjoy!

Here is one of my favorites:

Comvita honeys are unique to New Zealand and are renowned for their flavour and texture. A natural granulation process is used at Comvita to produce creamed honey that is consistent in texture but easy to spread. Nothing is added to the honey and it is never overheated, that is why Comvita honey is referred to as “raw honey” with all of its natural enzymes and goodness intact.

Here are some of my favorites for Spring that I know you will love:

ZOYA has a new 2010 spring collection! REVERIE is certainly a crowd pleaser! These super fun metallic shades give your nails a boost of color while showing off a hot metallic finish.

PRITI NYC is sure to make you and your nails pop with a serious splash of color. Have fun with Priti’s new Spring collection with colors like (Match image from left to right) Fishbone Cactus, Festival Gitana, Bristol Beauty, Kingfisher Daisy, Devil’s Fig, and Snapdragon.

SPARITUAL nail colors have some gorgeous shades that are a bit deeper and make for a great neutral palette. Two of my absolute favorites are Mystic and Hypnotic.

Have a go at recreating this look with all natural makeup!

1. The 50’s were all about finished skin, so make sure you apply a matte foundation like Organic Glam Luminous Antioxidant Foundation . Apply concealer for extra coverage under eyes, around corners of nose as this is usually where redness occurs. Apply a matte powder to finish the skin, like Dr. Hauschka’s Translucent Face Powder.

2. Apply Nvey Eco Organic Eye Shadow in Bronzed Marigold Shimmer #167 to eyelids and underneath the bottom lashes, making sure to move the shadow into the corners of each eye as this helps to open up the eye. Next apply Living Nature Eye Shadow in Siennas using the darker shade on outer part of the eyelid and blending the color halfway in, leaving the gold NVEY Eye Shadow to show in the corners and middle of the eyelid. After eyeshadow is applied, use Dr. Hauschka Eyeliner in Extravaganza – Black to line the eyes.

3. You want the cheeks to fade out so the focus is on the eyes and mouth. Apply Organic Glam Bronzer in Light Bronze to apples of cheeks.

4. A soft matte pink lip color is what makes this pin-up girl, 1950’s look pop. The perfect shade to complete this look is Laughter by Living Nature. Line the lips with Living Nature Lipliner and fill them in with Living Nature Lipstick, both in Laughter.

5. Bold lashes are a must with this look, so curl lashes several times before applying 2 to 3 coats of mascara. Using Jane Iredale PureLash Lengthening Mascara in Black, make sure to deposit the mascara heavily to the base of lashes. After mascara has dried from your first application, curl again and apply a second coat. Repeat one last time for a third final coat.
