Here's a cute little thing from a french magazine.
"My beauty secrets"With skin delicately tanned by the sun, a figure one can only dream of, sculpted by years of dance, and a dear little lolita face, cute as a button, Alizée is a model for millions of adolescent girls and a feminine ideal for boys. With such an ambassador, you can understand why Corsica is nicknamed the "Island of beauty"!
What do you say when you see yourself in the mirror in the morning?
A: I cry out "Oh my god!" After waking up, sometimes I have puffy eyes when I haven't slept well.
What's your first "beauty" act in the morning?
A: I splash cold water on my face. That wakes me up and it gets rid of the little pillow marks on my face! I redo my hair as well because I often wake up with my hair all ruffled.
What's your secret for keeping your figure?
A: I have no secret for keeping my figure. I don't keep an eye on what I eat. I don't deprive myself of anything and I eat everything in reasonable amounts. That's the best diet!
Do you keep yourself on a diet?
A: No, I don't follow a weight-loss diet. Instead, I reduced my intake of red meat. I've almost eliminated beef from my diet; I don't like it. I eat poultry, essentially chicken, and lots of fish, I just love it. Sometimes I'll also eat a little pork.
What do you like about your physique?
A: My nose! People often ask me if I had plastic surgery. I didn't go under the knife; it's my real nose! I'm lucky to have a nice, straight, slim little nose. It fits me very well!
What would you change about your physique?
A: My feet. I don't know why, but I don't like them.
Do you play sports regularly?
A: Yes, I've done dance since I was little. I've been practicing thai boxing religiously for several months. That makes me work on my breathing. It's really cool for getting me ready for the stage! I suffer from back problems, I have a very arched back, which prevents me from running or jumping. To burn lots of calories, I dedicated myself to this discipline. I take classes with a private teacher. He's not allowed to hit me because I'm afraid of hurting myself, so I'm the one who hits. I'd rather not go on TV with a black eye! When I'm in Ajaccio, I train almost every day. Also, this combat sport allows me to better manage my stress.
What kind of mature woman would you prefer looking like later on?
A: She's still young, but it'd be Monica Belluci. I think she's really beautiful and feminine. I really like her femme fatale side. I think she's fascinating, and she exudes a lot of sensuality.
Are you afraid of growing old?
A: I don't want to become an adult; I'd like to stay a teenager my whole life!
What's in your makeup kit?
A: There's gloss, mascara, rouge, a comb, and a mirror. I barely use any makeup. When I'm on TV, I'm required to wear it. In everyday life, I prefer to look natural.
Do you believe in the power of anti-wrinkle creams?
A: No, not really. I'm still very young, so I don't worry about all that. Having said that, certain women wear their wrinkles very well. That doesn't surprise me. On the contrary, it's quite natural.
What's your one weakness?
A: It hasn't changed; it's always been candy! I love it.
How often do you go to the hairdresser and beautician?
A: I go to the hairdresser once a month because my hair grows quickly. It seems it's a sign of good health. I only have the tips cut. During the summer, I'll have some strands lightened or highlighted red. I go to the beautician every two months to have my eyebrows plucked and for facial care.
For or against plastic surgery?
A: It depends. If it's to pin your ears back, I'm for it! If your goal is to look like a Barbie doll, I'm against it. When I see what's become of Michael Jackson, it upsets me.
Are you allergic to any beauty products?
A: I was a little worried at the very beginning of my career. I had red spots appearing on my face. They itched. I thought I was allergic to the foundation that I was using. Actually, my skin couldn't handle it when they rubbed my face with those big sponges. Since then, we've been using softer ones.
Do you bite your nails?
A: I stopped biting them several months ago. It didn't make my hands look very pretty, but I couldn't help myself. I even nibbled on press-on nails! When I was in the studio, I was very stressed, but now, I handle the pressure better.
Among all your looks, which one do you prefer and which one do you like the least?
A: I have a preference for the Jean-Charles de Castelbajac-labeled white dress that I wore on TV when I sang my single "Gourmandises". I had worn a big belt with the inscription "Miam Miam" [Yum Yum] and big white boots. The outfit that I like the least is the satin ensemble that I put on to sing "L'Alizé". It looked like a pair of pyjamas!
Which beauty products do you have that you can't do without?
A: I would never do without my apple-cinnamon Tahiti shower gel. I love the scent. Also, my deodorant, my transparent gloss, and my Sisley brand cucumber hydrating cream.
