Last weekend, the legendary actress and singer Jane Birkin, who also left a deep mark in the world of fashion and beauty, died. The appearance of the British-born French film star was always far from generally accepted standards, but she still carried the proud title of sex symbol of the 70s and was considered a true style icon.
Jane followed very simple principles in her self-care, and even as an adult, she did not participate in a crazy race for eternal youth. The star did not go under the surgeon’s knife, did not bother with make-up and considered a beautiful smile to be the easiest anti-aging remedy. Birkin once told journalists about the importance of the latter in one of her interviews.
“Best beauty advice? My mom gave it to me. She always said: take care of your teeth, because fake ones are humiliating. I followed it and here is my favorite anti-aging remedy that can take 10 years – a big smile.– Jane shared the simplest beauty secret available to everyone.
In everyday life, Birkin did not wear make-up, but she always went out with a light make-up: she disguised the bruises under her eyes with concealer, lined her lips with a pencil and added a little blush to her cheeks. At the same time, Jane considered active eye makeup unnecessary: according to the actress, it only adds age to mature women and looks like a witch.
