Her make-up is complementary and understated. She isn't trendy or trying to look younger than she is. She also has class, compassion and carries herself with integrity. It's no all about how you look.

No.

Sophia Loren was always considered exotic, not classic.

She is voluptuous and sensual.

A classic beauty is virginal, more waify or tall, even and symmetrical balanced features. Almost ice princess like. Grace Kelly. Audrey Hepburn. Iman. Halle Berry. Classic.

Christy Brinkley is not a classic beauty. She is a girl next door beauty.

I can see your point, but I am from the Mediterranean and to me classic beauty is very different than to you. To me it is definitely not virginal, and definitely not princess like. Iman, Halle Berry yes, Grace Kelly, totally not. To me there is a distinct difference between classical beauty and pretty. I don't know which princesses you have in mind, none come to me as classical beauties. Agree on Brinkely. But, hey, classic or otherwise, it is subjective. To me it is high cheek bones, sharper features. I was once in Venice, as a teen, and past me went on one of those smaller bridges these four women, dressed in pelerines like coats, immaculate everything, and I thought that is timeless and these women are just perfection. They looked like a dream to me. But again, subjective.

Classic beauties are symmetrical and not dramatic features. Like a Greek sculpture.

I never said dramatic, I said sharper features. Who did these studies on classical beauty for women? Would it have to be regional study? Who were judges? How can there be one standard classical beauty that fits the world? That doesn't make any sense to me. All beauty is subjective, regional, etc... Can somebody link these studies? And aren't I basically describing ancient Greek sculptures?

yeah yeah we get the type you like but in fact these things are not so subjective. there are many studies done on geometry of beautiful faces. your examples just don't fit. there is some disagreement about particular cases, sure, when you say that grace kelly and halle berry are "totally not" classical beauties then you simply don't understand the term. i mean, i can call my dog a 'classical beauty' but that's just ridiculous. nobody is saying that women you like are not attractive - they just don't being to this category.

I think you misunderstood, I said Grace Kelly not, Halle Berry yes. Isn't beautiful face much different than classical beauty? It is to me. Beauty and classical beauty are not the same.

i agree with this. among youngish actresses she comes pretty close to the ideal.

No way, when I hear the word "basic", she comes to mind. If she didn't come from money I could easily see her blending in as your average Joe.

From her generation of blonde actresses, I'd say Charlize Theron or Diane Kruger are more classic beauties than GP.

Your just a gywneth hater. Charlize Theron only looks good after a lot of makeup and makeup. She's just not that pretty in the natural which is why you never see her that way. Krugwrs lines or angles on her face are just too harsh. Gwyneth is a classic beauty with or without makeup artists.
