Gisele Bundchen tops Forbes.com’s 2007 list of The Top Earning Models in the World, raking in $33 million. Gisele is a workhorse who leads the pack by juggling almost 20 campaigns. She also brings in at least $6 million a year by licensing her name to a Brazilian shoe company, Grendene. But watch for Bundchen’s fortunes to possibly decline next year: In December, her record-breaking $5 million a year deal with Victoria’s Secret expires. Until then she stars in the new Dolce Gabbana perfume campaign as well as the cover of Vanity Fair. Photo source: SassyBella.

Aerin Lauder, Senior Vice President, Creative Director, Estee Lauder, announced in January that the brand has signed Hilary Rhoda as a new face of Estee Lauder. Above is the first advertising campaign for their skincare line on EsteeLauder.com.

“Hilary is one of fashion’s brightest stars,” said Ms. Lauder. “Her sophisticated all-American look has captivated the attention of the fashion and beauty world in a very short time. Hilary is perfect for Estee Lauder.”

“As one of the 21st century’s most travelled, acclaimed, and influential fashion photographers, Mario Testino has unsurpassed access to the most magnetic stars of popular culture. For some time now he has been collecting a personal archive of off-screen moments, often snatched spontaneously before, during, and after more official sittings for Vanity Fair, Vogue, and Testino’s many clients in the world of fashion. The result is a portrait not just of a generation of the most wanted and talked-about, but an invitation to be part of the backstage parties and unstaged moments of Testino’s life. Sometimes offbeat, but always on the pulse, Let me in!, with Testino’s eye for a modern kind of elegance liberated from conventional polish, is a new chapter from the photographer who has already made his mark with the books Any Objections, Front Row Backstage, Alive, Portraits, Kids, Diana Princess of Wales, and numerous exhibitions and publications worldwide”.

I think you can tell from this photo that Paula really appreciates her hair
and makeup artist Daniel (and the retoucher). Check out this video to see
just how much. Also watch Hey Paula on Bravo.

This is something that has been bothering me for some time. Every ad I’ve seen lately has a model wearing false eyelashes to promote their mascara. What happened to truth in advertising? This is just so blatantly obvious to me as a makeup artist, esp. in the commercials…and now the public is evidently getting wise to it. “L’Oréal has been condemned for producing “misleading” mascara adverts featuring Penelope Cruz”. Read this article in the UK Daily Mail.
