The best thing is to look natural, but it takes makeup to look natural – Calvin Klein
The amount effort Australian women put in an attempt to look natural clearly indicates that Mr. Klein hit the nail right on the head. Dead center for that matter. And Pamela Anderson seems to agree with him when she says “Natural beauty takes at least two hours in front of a mirror.”
“The most beautiful makeup of a woman is passion. But cosmetics are easier to buy.”
― Yves Saint-Laurent
