The Finest In Cosmetic Products & Makeup By Lauren Hutton

Lauren Hutton has lived most of her adult life in front of the camera, but prior to that, she was a normal American girl. Born in Charleston, South Carolina on November 17, 1943, she later moved to Tampa, Florida before attending college and subsequently graduating from Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana in 1964. Hutton began modeling that same year, starting out as a Playboy bunny and turning to film with her first movie role in "The Paper Lion" in 1968. Hutton went on to appear in dozens of other films over the next few decades, most notably the acclaimed crime drama "American Gigolo" in 1980. However, Hutton is most remembered for her modeling career, which landed her on the cover of Vogue magazine more than 25 times. Famous for her gap-toothed smile and her willingness to stand up for causes in which she believed, Lauren Hutton pioneered the practice of paid endorsement contracts for models with makeup companies when she became the face of Revlon cosmetics in 1974. In fact, Hutton was the first model to earn a million dollars, and she is said to be the most photographed woman in the world.



Having enjoyed a successful career, Hutton spent a few years out of the spotlight before returning to modeling in the 90s. Once again a trailblazer, Hutton paved the way for ad campaigns that feature middle-aged women who shun plastic surgery and embrace the adage of growing old gracefully. Hutton once stated, "We have to be able to grow up. Our wrinkles are our medals of the passage of life. They are what we have been through and who we want to be. I don't think I will ever cut my face, because once I cut it, I'll never know where I've been." Determined to defy the media's fascination with perpetual youth and unattainable perfection, Lauren Hutton once again began gracing the pages of fashion magazines and catalogs.



In fact, it was Hutton's decision to return to modeling at the age of 46 that spurred her to develop her own cosmetics line. No stranger to cosmetic products after spending years as a Revlon spokeswoman and traveling the world buying up tons of makeup and skincare products along the way, she was self-assured enough to know that she was capable of producing products that would enhance the faces of women of age. Frustrated with the makeup that was available, which was developed and marketed specifically for younger faces, she began mixing her own formulations. Determined to highlight her own natural beauty, and indeed the beauty of other women with less-than-flawless faces, Hutton saw the need for cosmetic products that were sheer, lightweight and blissfully free from the shimmer that does nothing but highlight and amplify fine lines and wrinkles.



With this in mind, Lauren developed an extensive line of products targeted at women aged 36 to 65, although women of any age will be impressed with the formulations, not to mention the ease of use. Knowing that women don't always know how or where to apply makeup, Hutton developed a color-coded system, Face Disk, which allows users to match products with brushes to ensure proper application. Realizing that most women are using makeup that doesn't match their skin tone, Hutton developed her line around the four universally-recognized groups of skin tones: pink, yellow, olive and brown. Users can choose from Hutton's extensive line of cosmetic products by selecting colors and sets that are appropriate for their coloring. This no-fail system takes the guesswork out of choosing makeup, so women can instead focus on proper application. In fact, each Face Disk set contains detailed instructions for application, in addition to a range of complimentary products such as foundation, mascara and lip liner. Customers may also purchase products individually, and refill pans are available for the products contained within the Face Disk.



The full line of makeup contains everything one might need, including eye shadow, blush, eye liner, lipstick, concealer and bronzing powder, to name a few. In addition to makeup, Lauren's line also includes skin care, body and anti-aging products. Lauren Hutton's cosmetic products are appreciated by scores of women who agree that growing old gracefully is the best way to age.
