Jean Shrimpton

^too much makeup. She looks the best naturally.

Yeah, she looks so naturally beautiful, but i guess tons of make up and eye lashes were in back then! (They were flash!!)

I think the eyelashes good alright, but the crazy blush/eyeshadow/lip color is too much

Yeah- Me too!! I want it!! Gee, she looks good... Just think- some of those modeling pictures were taken over 40 years ago!! She must have Christy Brinkley genes...

^^Hahah i think Christy Brinkley is in a league of her own.The woman looks amazing.And i do think Jean still looks beautiful,but my god i wouldnt have recognized her.

Besides Veruschka, my absolute favorite model of all time. I know people are going to throw stones my way but I still don't understand what the big deal about kate Moss is, especially after seeing these photographs.
