Celebrity and Wrinkles - Susan Sarandon, Christie Brinkley


WOW! Did you know Susan Sarandon is past sixty years old? How about Christie Brinkley, the face of Cover Girl who was born in 1954? If you are like many, then you are surprised at when you hear a celebrities age. How do they do it? How do they stay so young!


Well, for one, they don’t stay young, they just know what to do in order to avoid those wrinkles. Then you have some cases where celebrities have injections, such as botox to get rid of the wrinkles and stop them from showing up. There is no doubt that celebrities have many secrets. It seems that celebrity and wrinkles are two words that do not belong together. Name a celebrity that has lots of wrinkles. It’s hard to think of one right off the top of the mind.


Keeping the skin looking gorgeous and looking young is hard to do and can become expensive. However, for the typical celebrity staying young is a job retirement. When a celebrity gets wrinkles, they may be forced for an early retirement. It doesn’t sound right, but it is true. Perhaps that is why the celebrities go out of their way to have those wrinkles reduced.


When a celebrity doesn’t use botox, then their other option is going under the laser. There is collage production that slows the wrinkles down.


The cost of this is $1000 per session, but this doesn’t bother the celebrities. Then you have celebrities who get chemical peals in order to reduce the wrinkles. Whatever way you go, celebrity and wrinkles equals early retirement.

Islandista we love: Pat McGrath

I first read about her in the fall 2007 issue of US Vogue. Even though finding articles among allll the ads that packed out that humongous edition  was a chore (840 pages! It hurt my wrists just to hold it up) I had to delve into it to find out who was the person that Vogue declared to be "the most powerful woman in beauty."

Imagine my surprise when I saw this round-faced, unassuming brown lady - Pat McGrath, hailed by Vogue as being "in a class by herself... literally a star".

The beauty industry has often ignored or not been empathetic to the needs of brown women over the years so it was surprising to me that one of us would have risen to the top.  Not only that, she is an islandista - her mother Jean McGrath is described by Vogue as a "single mother from Jamaica who is a Jehovah's Witness obsessed with fashion and makeup."

Pat says she took her example from her mother, who was often compelled by lack of choice to mix her own make-up.

"Obviously, there weren't that many colours for us at the time, so Mother made her own, mixing powders together."

Vogue noticeably doesn't say who 'us' is but islandistas, we know, don't we? We've been there, done that, especially when we've lived in places that were outside of the northern urban mainstream and didn't have many products for brown folk in the stores. Pat grew up in Northampton in the UK - need we say more?

She started out in the flamboyant British club scene of the 1980s, where individuality and outrageous looks ruled the day and actually got her first break when she met the fashion editor of Blitz magazine while out at the WAG Club in soho one night.

Not being a trained make-up artist worked to her advantage as she has admitted, saying:

"I broke every rule because I didn’t know what the rules were. And that’s how you learn and come up with new things."

And how... McGrath became known for her out-there collaborations with John Galliano at Christian Dior and for her wide range of influences from club culture to Japanese Kabuki theatre. Check out one of her fantastical creations below.

She has become a close partner of top-level photographer Stephen Meisel and is the global creative-design director for Procter & Gamble's cosmetics which includes brands such as Cover Girl and Max Factor.

This has put her in an even stronger position to determine the direction of fashion. For instance, at least two seasons before the trend for bright colours (especially eye shadows) that has now swept the globe, Pat was on it and convinced Max Factor to include a small section of pop-out-at-you green, blue and yellow eye shadow to their collection.

 No wonder Vogue declared McGrath to be "at the tip-top of fashion's power pyramid, the one makeup artist who belongs to the tiny elite of designers, photographers, stylists and image-makers who actually determine how fashion will look."
