The Most Sought-After Nose Proportions. Maybelline Eyes may be the mirror of the Soul, but the nose impacts self-esteem and balances the face



me with my baby girl
My mother prayed that her four kids would be born with cute little noses. She never liked her nose after she'd been in a car accident and a bump remained. All her kids were blessed with little turned up noses that didn't require any alteration. But, if my nose hadn't been so perfect I would have visited a plastic surgeon and perhaps  chosen a famous nose, like the ones shown here.


Though the nose might not get quite the same amount of attention that other body parts do, a well-formed nose can help to maintain the proportions of the face while avoiding any distraction caused by other features. Those of us who were born with a not-so-perfect nose – it might be large, droopy, crooked, or misshapen in general – understand well enough how that can impact self-esteem as well as throw the overall facial balance well and truly off.


This list includes ladies’ noses that are frequently requested in rhinoplasty offices and plastic surgery centers in general.



Halle Berry


Halle Berry’s is one of the most popular of nose “styles.” Experts in the field say that this is because of her noses’ strong profile, while the tip aids in the preservation of her ethnicity and yet is softly elegant. Furthermore, Ms. Berry’s nose is less angular and contemporary, and it appears particularly natural.



Natalie Portman

 

It’s no surprise that Natalie Portman’s nose is at the top of the list of the most-requested noses that women want. Your nose is among the first things that people see as soon as they look at your face, while it’s very important in terms of an overall facial balance. An expertly conducted rhinoplasty will work to subtly enhance the facial features as well as to restore facial accord.



Kate Middleton


Member of the British Royal family Kate Middleton has a near-perfect nose with its rounded tip and straightened structure. The reasons that people seek rhinoplasty vary depending on gender and age. For men, frequently they want hump reduction, where for women, they seek tip refinement. The most common nasal concerns equate to noses that are too big or too long, twisted or crooked, thick tipped or out of balance.

 

Kate Beckinsale

 


Ms. Beckinsale’s nose is perfectly angled and entirely free of irregularities or bumps. Bumps occur whenever the cartilage is uneven which then causes the bridge to appear high in some area and also prevents the smoothness of transition from one particular area to the next. Often, with bumps, the nose may look like it starts at the bump, and that can be at a point halfway down. The cartilage that is responsible for the creation of bumps is easy to remove surgically, while if not overly severe, the bone can still be left intact.



Angelina Jolie



What better way could there be to top those gorgeously sumptuous lips than by having the most perfectly rotated nose which blends thoroughly seamlessly with the remainder of Ms. Jolie’s face? Prior to going in for surgery, your specialist will probably provide you with a digital image that shows you how the alterations will appear after surgery. Ultimately, the goal will likely be to generate a sense of facial symmetry as opposed to making a particular feature overtly prominent in such a way that it is competing with other facial features.



Scarlett Johansson

 

You may have a low bridge nose that somewhat resembles a miniature ski slope, and in which case, you’ll be lacking the full structure that Scarlett Johansson has. Nevertheless, in this case, a nose job of a nonsurgical nature, whereby fillers are injected inside the nose, can work to fill out the depressed areas and thus craft a more balanced look. Though these results will call for repeat injections, they will provide a preview of the type of results you would achieve when undergoing more permanent nose surgery.



Charlize Theron



Ms. Theron has a beautiful nose which offers the right proportions of volume at the very tip. Making reparations to a bulbous nose tip that can appear as if there’s a ball attached to the end, is seen as among the most challenging of cosmetic nasal surgeries since the skin may not take to the renewed shape. This in turn makes it difficult to anticipate what the final result will be. Whilst undertaking this complex surgery, the surgeon will either add more cartilage to provide more definition and support or narrow the cartilage.



Jessica Alba



To play down those slight imperfections like that of a relatively wide nose, makeup can of course do wonders. Highlighting over the bridge and contouring to the sides can help to generate a smaller-looking nose such as Jessica Alba’s. Should your nose be a little wide, make an application of darker shades to both sides and over the length of your nose. Next, you can draw more attention to the bridge with the application of a centralized lighter shade.

But after judging Miss OC last night, I realize just how much young girls in the Pageant World seek perfection. So I did a little research. Here are the most sought after noses in the beauty world. what do you think. Would you ever consider having a nose job to reach perfection or are you happy with what God has given you. That and a little Maybelline Mascara.




"In the Ring with Cancer" my new blog documents my cousin Chuck Williams, BB1's fight with liver Cancer.

I've done many Blog posts about my infamous cousin Chuck Williams, known as BB1, because of his "Number one Fan" proclamation from Mike Love, of the "Beach Boys." He also ran the Santa Barbara Bowl, in the 70's and 80's, where he produced many Beach Boys concerts as well as many other well know rock bands.

BB1, is also known for being a "real car guy," owning many beautiful award winning automobiles and by his connection with Speed Vegas, a premiere car racing track just opening in Las Vegas. Racing is a hobby, but the love of his beautiful Pebble Beach Concours winning cars, is his passion.

I spent many hours writing my book, The Maybelline Story, at his beautiful home in Santa Barbara and we have always supported each other reaching our dreams.  So when Chuck, BB1, was diagnosed with liver Cancer last month, I decided to document his blow by blow experience on a Blog called
"In the Ring with Cancer."  Now everyone can check in and Cheer for him as he battles to hold the world title, "The Greatest," next to Muhammad Ali, his all time idol.

Only Superman can survive what lies ahead for BB1 and his fight with Cancer.

BB1 whips out his Superman - Man of Steal cape, after a telephone call about his upcoming Cancer Treatment. "It will change me" he said, "I feel confused, but I'm going to fight."  So, in the ring he goes with his deadly opponent.

The disturbing news was: They may get into the liver and find it's worse than expected. They may decide to take the tumor out, but he may still need a Liver Transplant. Chuck doesn't want to go in that direction. But, knows he has to do what ever it takes to beat Cancer.

One of the main questions asked by the Doctor, before being accepted for a possible Liver Transplant was, "How do you think you contacted Hep C?

When BB1 was a 15 year old kid, in 1964 he and a couple of buddies were in his friends garage making a pipe bomb to pull a prank, and it accidentally exploded in his face. Anyone else would have had their head blown off, but with quick reflexes, he turned his head and the metal hit and lodged in his chin. Blood was flying everywhere. The car windows were blown out. But, BB1 was still standing!

Wrapped in a sheet around his head he drove himself back home where his mother took one look at the blood and rushed him to the hospital. That's where the Hep C came. It was about the blood and though there was no transfusion, something happened that might not have happened today.  It sat dormant until 1999, when BB1 took a major fall and broke his ankle. After tests were made, the Hep C appeared. For the last 16 years he's had scans to test the liver with no bad results.  In September, the cirrhosis had turned to Cancer. Now only Superman can survive what lies ahead.

Stay tuned for more details BB1, fights for his life. Can he beat death? Can he come out holding the World Title? Will he hold the belt over his head?  Like the Beach Boys song goes,  "God only knows."
 Listen to Chuck, BB1, and Sharrie, discussing The Maybelline Story, on the radio, in Santa Barbara.

Maybelline a staggering success story



On the level of great American entrepreneurs, my Great uncle, Tom Lyle Williams story is a spectacular rise to the top of the business world and the cosmetic industry, with his hunches, hard work and deep-rooted faith that made it possible.



Ranging from the days when he literally couldn't spare a dime, to his building a world famous brand and cosmetic empire. Tom Lyle Williams story is a saga of American big business through depression, war and prosperity.




Most of all, though, it is a story of great personal adventure by a man who believed in himself, in his dreams, and in American as an unending frontier of opportunity.




You've Got to Dream

@chaptersandchats reviews The Maybelline Story and the Spirited Family Dynasty Behind it.

"The Royal family of the cosmetic industry" by Jodi Hanson

Growing up in the 70s, the time of discos and over the top makeup, teenage girls, myself included, wanted their lashes as dark and full as possible. We all had the pink and green tube of Great Lash mascara in our makeup bags. I’m middle-aged now and still have Maybelline mascara in my makeup bag. The only difference is I am a little more judicious in my application. So naturally when Sharrie Williams, grand-niece of Tom Lyle Williams; founder of Maybelline, asked if I was interested in reviewing “The Maybelline Story: And the Spirited Family Dynasty Behind it” I readily accepted the offer.

Sharrie Williams takes her readers into the world of the royal family of the cosmetic industry. Picture the Carrington’s from the hit 1980s television series “Dynasty”, change it from oil moguls to cosmetic moguls and you’ll understand what it was like being a Williams. The book is an intimate retelling of triumphs and losses, love and betrayal as Tom Lyle Williams, a teenage boy from small town USA, follows his dream to take the world and make it his oyster on his
quest to being a millionaire.

Maybelline was started when Tom Lyle discovered his sister Mabel’s beauty secret and wanted to share the product with American women. Little did he know that this would begin the journey into a lifelong love story with his little company that turned into a dynasty and the most widely known cosmetic company in the world.

Through the depression and two world wars Maybelline persevered always managing to keep women feeling beautiful through even the toughest times. Mingling with starlets from Hollywood and iconic movie producers the Tom Lyle Williams lived the life only to be dreamed of by millions of people.


Sharrie Williams was born to tell the story of her family. She does it with grace and humility showing not only the successes but the failures of her heritage. I was captivated from the first paragraph greedily pouring over the pages. I highly recommend “The Maybelline Story: And the Spirited Family Dynasty Behind it” is a must read for enthusiasts of memoirs and biographies.

Maybelline was extreemly influential in the 1920's women's movement.  It allowed women to create their own identities. Endorsements from major Film Stars, encouraged women to purchase Maybelline.  These beautiful Actresses had a tremendous impact on your great grandmother and grandmother in the 1920's.



Maybelline was a product that liberated women from Victorian domination and allowed them to claim their own identities. In celebration of National Women's History month here are some beautiful Silent Film Stars who endorsed Maybelline in 1920.

The flapper symbolized an age anxious to enjoy itself, anxious to forget the past, anxious to ignore the future." (from Jacques Chastenet, "Europe in the Twenties" in Purnell's History of the Twentieth Century)

 

Young women in the 1920s, didn't want the drudgery of social conventions and  the routine of daily life.

Maybelline, once known as "The Wonder Company"... "The Little Company that Could"



Tom Lyle Williams at 19 years of age in 1915.
By 1929 Tom Lyle Williams was spending $200,000 a year in advertising, with Maybelline ads appearing in forty popular magazines as well as Sunday newspaper supplements and specialized journals such as Theatre and Photoplay. Between 1915 and 1929, he’d spent over a million dollars to advertise Maybelline. His little eye beautifier now had wide distribution in the United States and Canada.  Everywhere you went, close-up photos of eyes darkened with Maybelline projected a provocative--but no longer sinful--eroticism.



Tom Lyle Williams in 1929,
from an article in a trade magazine.
In fact Tom Lyle had just launched his 1929 “Springtime is Maybelline Time!” campaign, featuring an idealized lovely young miss looking up adoringly at her man through starry eyes. The offers to vendors pitched display cartons, each holding a half-dozen eye makeup containers, and urged druggists to try product placement by the soda fountain, “forcing extra sales.” Tom Lyle felt that the ad would assure continued prosperity for the company, meaning he could afford to leave Maybelline in the hands of his brother Noel while he and Emery headed out to California for a few days.

On October 29, 1929, a news flash announced that the Dow industrial average had fallen almost twenty-three percent, and the stock market had lost a total of sixteen billion dollars in value in a month. Sixteen billion dollars.


Tom Lyle knew the stock market crash would be devastating for the country in general, and would certainly ruin many companies. Although Maybelline, as a family-owned business, was not directly affected by the Wall Street disaster, there was no question that the aftermath would be devastating. Who would choose to buy eye cosmetics over food for the family?



The prosperity and opulence of the Roaring Twenties were gone, disappearing along with the vamps who had loaded up with Maybelline’s seventy-five-cent product. In order to keep his company alive in the years to come, Tom Lyle knew he would have to find ways to keep his product in the public eye, yet at a price women could afford. The flashy, flapper look was quickly devolving to a more demure look fit for austere times.


Despite the national situation, he felt good about the future. In fact, when Noel showed him a story in The Wall Street Journal about a brand-new skyscraper being constructed over the old Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York--the Empire State Building, the tallest structure in the world--Tom Lyle took it as a sign that the bad economy would be only a temporary dip in the road.


He was rarely so wrong. When Emery suggested an ad tie-in to the Empire State Building--Things Are Looking Up, featuring young women with gorgeous eyes gazing up at a new skyscraper--Tom Lyle backed it enthusiastically...until it became clear that for most of the country, things were looking very much down. They abandoned the new ad campaign as the market continued to decline, wages plummeted, and credit dried up. When industrial production also collapsed, many businesses went with it.


But not Maybelline. Although innovative and widespread advertising was responsible for a lot of the company's success over the years, it was not the whole story. So was constant innovation in the lab, and that spring, thanks to the introduction of an improved waterproof eye makeup, total sales rose to $750,000--at a time when most businesses were struggling simply to keep their wallowing businesses afloat.

Maybelline's Rosie the Riveter during World War ll



Long before the Women's Movement, Rosie the Riveters of WW11,  built all the planes, ships, tanks and all necessary equipment that our country needed to win the war.  They were the ones who knocked down the doors for women's rights. 


It was a mans world up until 1941 when Pearl Harbor was bombed. It was Rosie the riveters who built the B-17s and the B-29. They found that the women were every bit as good at these jobs as men were, some of us were better.  worked hard to promote Rosie.


Krier has had Congressman, Mike Fitzpatrick propose to make May 23rd National Rosie the Riveter Day. She is working on trying to get a statue of Rosie in the WW11 Memorial in Washington D.C. There were between 16 and 20 million women who went to work during the war. It is time for these amazing women to get due recognition.



Krie goes to different groups to tell the Rosie Stories. Some are really outstanding.  Krier often said that "if it hadn't of been for Rosies role in WW11, we may be speaking German or Japanese today."


Someone wrote, "ROSIE THE RIVETER WAS THE MOST SUCCESSFUL RECRUITMENT TOOL IN AMERICAN HISTORY."
