It has been a few years since supermodel Christy Turlington has graced the runways, but her advice on beauty as well as her admonishment of cosmetic surgery is still pertinent to the industry today. A proponent for aging naturally, Turlington shared her own perception of what makes a woman a beauty icon. "Women who have stayed away from augmentation of themselves—those are the women I really admire.
I love seeing a real face. A face of someone who’s lived life," she told Marie Claire. "I would say my beauty icons are people like Jane Birkin.They have the kind of faces I like to see, and we don’t get to see as many of those in the world anymore.
Jane aged in her way. She was as beautiful at the end of her life as she was early on," she said of the late model, who passed away last month at 76. "I will be one of those faces.
I am one of those faces," Turlington, 54, emphasized. One of several prominent supermodels of the 90s, including Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer and Linda Evangelista, Turlington has always preached that she will not be altering her face. "For years these things didn't even exist: collagen, fat cells, the crazy stuff people do I cannot imagine," she previously told Town & Country.
"First of all, I have no time. Second of all, I don't think it looks good. Maybe I would think differently if I thought it looked good, and it didn't hurt, and it didn't send bad messages to young people.
