Christy Turlington is in my opinion one of the most beautiful women of the last century. But out of all the Supers, she also might be the least interesting. Naomi and Linda have crazy charisma and theyve each had their messes, but Christy is kind of milquetoast. But Ill give her credit for pivoting to humanitarian work with her organization Every Mother Counts. Every Mother Counts has programs in multiple countries that expand access to high quality maternity care, including in the US, where there is a shockingly high rate of maternal mortality especially among Black and Indigenous mothers. So Christy and EMC are doing good work. Christy is also the Fundamental Changemaker in Residence for a super fancy, expensive skincare brand called Noble Panacea. Im sorry but that title is so silly. Just call her a brand ambassador.
Anyway, Christy was interviewed for Marie Claire and she talked about her skincare routine (predictably, a lot of $326 face creams from Noble Panacea, but she also likes regular Chapstick and Burts Bees) and how she admires women who dont augment themselves as they age. She called out the late Jane Birkin as one of her inspirations for how she wants to age. Oh, and she only wears mascara for special events. Imagine being that pretty, Im envious.
Shes a big fan of no-makeup makeup: I only wear a very tiny amount of makeup. Right now, I have on a little bit of the RMS concealer. I love the whole line?it all feels very light and clean. I?ll use a little bit of that under my eyes and then I?ll use some kind of a cheek tint, even if I have a little bit of color in my face. I always like some blush on my face. I love Westman Atelier and I also love Jones Road for a light wash. I?ll fill in my eyebrows a bit?I use a very basic Maybelline eyebrow pencil. I have so many because I used to work for them for years. I have a scar on my eyebrow so I always fill that in. I curl my lashes, but I don?t really wear mascara unless I?m going somewhere special. And that?s it!
Her thoughts on aging: 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. 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. I will be one of those faces. I am one of those faces.
Shes a fan of regular Chapstick: I?m always grabbing lip balm. I love Burt?s Bees, but I also love good, old fashioned Chapstick. It lasts the longest. When I run, I want to wear something thats going to last the duration of my long run. Sometimes those fancier products, or the ones that have fragrance in them, just don?t last as long. It?s good, old fashioned Chapstick that does the job. [From Marie Claire]
Her comments about aging are interestingnote what shes sayingand not saying. She mentions augmentation and implies that she hasnt done anything augmenting which would mean fillers. But even if she doesnt get anything injected into her skin, it wouldnt surprise me if Christy gets non-invasive or minimally invasive treatments like lasers, radiofrequency, or chemical peels. She does look her ageshe has some settled wrinklesbut her skin looks really smooth and even-toned and I find it hard to believe even a $300 skin cream can do that. Christy is also operating on the lowest possible difficulty setting when it comes to aging. She already has one of the most beautiful faces in the whole world. Its possible for her to opt out of invasive beauty treatments and still look better than most people because she has outstanding bone structure. Her comments come across as maybe a little judgmental towards those of us who are not so blessed and who respond to aging differently, but I dont think she meant them that way. I think in the circles in which she moves (aka other rich ladies), its probably unusual not to be getting Botox and Juvederm.

![Christy Turlington: 'Women [need] to see the sisterhood in motherhood'](https://eu4.besteyecandy.com/rss_photos/20150407/20150407_laJgaCT1.jpg "Christy Turlington: 'Women [need] to see the sisterhood in motherhood'")
Of all the ?80s models, I can?t really say that Christy Turlington ever made my top-five favorites. Christy is beautiful, no doubt, but she really wasn?t ?fun? or scandalous. In fact, she was so uncontroversial that she ended up using her good-girl image to create a new model archetype, one that?s being used these days by the likes of Karlie Kloss and some others. Just FYI: my favorite model from that era was easily Linda Evangelista. Linda was an enigma, she was fierce, she was a mess. She was amazing.
Anyway, in the years since the model mania of the ?80s and ?90s, I?ve grown to respect Christy more and more. She?s always done her own thing and followed her own path. She?s currently the founder and face of Every Mother Counts, an ?organization dedicated to raising awareness about issues women face in pregnancy and childbirth.? Christy covers the new issue of Red to raise more awareness. Some highlights:
Why she founded Every Mother Counts: ?I experienced complications myself after I delivered my daughter, Grace, and I guess my own experience of childbirth was the epiphany. What I realised was actually how lucky I had been, that so many women don?t even get to choose when they become pregnant. They don?t get to choose how many children they have. They don?t get to choose whether they will be medicated, or have a natural birth. This is just how it is, and it?s not an ideal way to bring life into the world, I don?t think.?
The mortality rates for women giving birth: ?If I have a goal, it?s for as many people as possible to be aware that this is an everywoman issue. For example, it?s shocking, but the US is actually one of eight countries around the world where maternal death rates are on the rise. So this is not just a problem in the developing world.?
She?s going to run her fourth marathon this year: ?I actually feel stronger and healthier than ever. Giving birth was probably the most empowering thing I?ve ever done physically. I was like, now I can do anything. I can run a marathon? I can run three marathons!?
Sisterhood: ?I think the most important thing is for women to see the sisterhood in motherhood. Sisterhood in being women, actually. It?s really the capacity to give birth that unites us, more than the experience itself. It?s about being there for each other.?
[From Red]
I?ve read some interesting accounts and attempts to explain why maternal death rates are on the rise in a country like the USA. I have my own theories, like inadequate sexual education, the glamorization of teenage motherhood and the no-epidural and home-birthing movements. But I don?t have any science to back up my theories, so I?ll just shut up. I believe every woman should be able to control her reproductive destiny and that includes deciding what birth plan is right for her. The problem, as Christy points out, is that so many girls and women don?t have those choices.
So here’s my question: do you want more Turlington stories? She gives interviews often enough but I usually ignore them. Her heart’s in the right place, but most of the time the interviews are boring or like this, sort of sad and depressing (but informative). Do you want more Christy?

She?s one of the world?s most sought after supermodels, and Christy Turlington just scored a new gig with the Avon cosmetics company.
Ms. Turlington will be promoting the fragrance Slip Into, with the goal of helping women feel like they?re putting on a pair of high heels.
Avon VP Vanessa Reggiardo explained, ?The idea of transformation is a very exciting one. It?s really about that moment of slipping out of flats into high heels ? that act that makes women feel more confident, more sexy and more sophisticated.?
Christy added, ?I can really admire [high heels] because I don?t wear them too often. I?m not one of the moms who wears heels when dropping the kids at school.?
