Monica Bellucci never sought to comply with the canons of beauty adopted in Hollywood, and in every possible way emphasized her personality and Italian roots. Nevertheless, she is regularly called one of the sexiest women in the world, incredibly seductive and even crazy, fatal and delightfully beautiful. Moreover, she is considered “the second Sophia Loren of Italian cinema”, and this is well deserved. The star is already 55 years old, but she looks at least 10 years younger and is proud of her age. What are the secrets of her beauty and self-care?

  Bellucci is a real star of cinema and fashion catwalks. Her figure never corresponded to model standards, however, this did not stop her from shining at fashion shows in Milan and Paris. Her almond-shaped brown eyes, a magnificent pile of long dark hair, a proud posture and seductive curves of the figure literally drove everyone who was in the zone of influence of her charisma crazy. The actress regularly emphasizes that she has never resorted to the services of plastic surgeons in her life and does not know any special secrets of preserving her youth. “To be beautiful at 20 is natural. But when you are beautiful at 35 or at 45, that’s already a position in life, ”she said in an interview, but Bellucci is a little cunning here, because she doesn’t rely solely on genetics on this issue - there are certain beauty habits in her care which she adheres to for many years.

  Competent make-up. Bellucci is so beautiful that she could always allow herself to appear in public without makeup, however, she admits that make-up for her is a kind of protection: she seems to put on armor to create a certain distance between herself and other people, and at the same time make herself more beautiful - both for others and for themselves. However, in her opinion, it is very important that the makeup is correct and emphasizes the individuality of the woman. “I prefer natural shades. I like the remedies that allow my skin to breathe. For everyday makeup, I choose a very light eye shadow, light gray or brown, in a word, those that emphasize my eye color. I always use mascara, usually black. It helps make the image more complete, ”Monica said in an interview with the British Daily Mail. 

  Not a day without lipstick. Lipstick, according to the actress, is the main cosmetic weapon of a woman. Monica admits that she has an indecent amount of them. Most often, she prefers nude shades, but there is also a classic red lipstick in her cosmetic bag - she draws attention to her lips, makes the image more sexy, bright and feminine.

  No plastics without urgent need. Bellucci believes that at any age it is especially important to maintain their individuality, therefore, she does not intend to redraw her face beyond recognition. For a long time, she was an ardent opponent of plastic surgery and argued that aging should be beautiful. However, over time, her position became not so categorical: in an interview, the actress admitted that although she had not resorted to the services of surgeons, in the future she did not exclude such a possibility. “Probably one day I’ll do a facelift. Sometimes I see what excellent results can be achieved with surgery. And I tell myself: “Why not?” ”She said in a recent interview.

  Olive Oil and Mineral Water in Hair Care. The actress's hair throughout her life was extremely thick and looked simply gorgeous. Monica changed haircuts, boldly changing long curls to short stylish haircuts, but one thing remained the same: her hair was always shiny and healthy. And this despite the constant installation and exposure to high temperatures. Bellucci believes that she managed to achieve such an effect with the help of very simple rules. The first one is to wash your hair no more than twice a week, so as not to dry your hair. The second is to dilute the shampoo with mineral water to lower the concentration of artificial additives in it. Thirdly, use good olive oil as a hair mask. Fourth - try to do without a hair dryer, if you can dry your hair in a natural way

  To drink a lot of water. In one of the interviews, Monica mentioned that in order to preserve the youthfulness of her skin, she needs to be thoroughly cleaned and moisturized regularly (yes, this is necessary not only for her lips). To do this, the star uses high-quality cosmetics with a good composition, and also drinks a lot of water - this gives the skin a radiant, healthy appearance and prevents the appearance of premature wrinkles.

  It’s always delicious. Bellucci does not adhere to any diets and opposes them. Like a true Italian, the actress has a weakness for tasty and satisfying food. According to her, if you have to choose between a plate of pasta or pizza and a slim figure, she will undoubtedly choose the first. “I am Italian and just love food. I am omnivorous, but I like Italian cuisine most of all. My daughters are like me in this. They love pasta and parmesan, ”she repeated in her interviews. And if the star needs to lose weight for the role, she switches to meat, fish and vegetables, while eating in small portions. True, after the birth of a second child, at the age of 45, Bellucci began to carefully monitor her diet and still reduced the amount of carbohydrates.

  Under any conditions, love yourself. The actress knows for sure that in order to look 100%, you do not have to be an ideal beauty with a chiseled figure, it is much more important to love yourself, to be a woman, to understand all the facets of your sexuality. Once, Bellucci said: “I feel very comfortable, and not because people say that I am pretty, but because I live the life I have chosen. I love life. This is my biggest beauty secret. ”
