A YouTube video of the 53 year old beauty doing her very minimal make up regimen has gotten nearly 2 million views. The tutorial shows just how likable, real, and beautiful she is.
First of all, seeing a veteran supermodel without her makeup appeals to the voyeuristic side in all of us. Did she have work done? What does she REALLY look like. The answer? Whatever she has or hasn’t done, she looks like a gorgeous 53 year old who is genuine, appealing – and looks like a natural beauty.. The video, which she shot for vogue with what looks like her own camera phone, also contains honest reflections on what it was like growing up in the world of high fashion without any experience in makeup, just how much makeup her husband likes, and what she has learned from her daughter’s makeup routine. I love that she didn’t go to great lengths to wash herself out with extra lighting or filters. She’s simply stunning.

Soon, everyone will want this. Check out the remarkably convincing age reduction of actress Michele Valley. 20 years of aging, gone.

A short piece of work digital compositor artist & visual effects editor Rousselos Aravantinos is going viral, not just because it’s so good, but likely also because of the inevitable effect the technology has on the future not only of film, but once it becomes more easily accessible and executable, (which is always the next wave) the future of selfies and photography on social media.Using technology called Nuke from @TheFoundryTeam and Mocha’s @imagineersystem, he literally takes 20 years off of her.

While it’s easier to focus on a more sedentary subject, this is only going to become more prevalent in films in the future, and is already in practice for many actresses, often at great cost. A source close to the Sex and The City actresses told me of the significant extent of the retouching that went into promos for the series when it appeared on TBS. I’m not complaining or pointing any fingers. I am hopeful to be the recipient of some hearty retouching in the future.

Let’s also give a shout out to Michele Valley. I’m not sure how easy it is to see yourself this way, side by side.
