With the year coming to an end, many celebs are taking the time to reflect in magazine interviews and celebrity magazine covers. Trend Hunter PR Specialist and Editor Misel Saban discusses her favorite examples of modest celebrity makeovers. From somber celebrity photoshoots to short-haired celebrity editorials and understated celebrity covers, these subdued-looking public figures are taking a fresh and simple approach.
The Madame Figaro Jennifer Lawrence cover displays the award-winning Hunger Games actress wearing barely there makeup. Covering Vanity Fair, Kristen Stewart, another teen trilogy actress, comes back from a two year hiatus with a stylish grown-out pixie hairdo. In one of many recent celebrity magazine covers, Taylor Swift is seen in Wonderland magazine. Almost unrecognizable with Cara Delevingne-like bold brows and bronzed skin, the hit singer departs from her usual look.
