why is the last "bad lighting?" I thought it was the best of her! She looked "cleaner" and less gunked up for some reason in the last one, to me. i like her because I can identify with her (we have those kind of longer thinner faces and I always wanted a wider one) and same coloring. As a child it sucked seeing blue eyed blonde haired people in every magazine and I love when I can see people on covers with darker everything. She is and was a great looking woman plus not typical white person. Yes she is a model but it helps to see models who look different and I would wish for future generations that they could see people that they could identify with -- more races, more different looks, more of the world. As a little girl with less typical features in a town full of conservative rednecks I always just wanted to look more "American." I even dyed my hair blonde to fit in (looks awful in retrospect -- just wrong on darker skin and eyes.)
On her skin: When I used to be in the sun too much I had her kind of skin color (or perhaps it is makeup) which to be honest looks a tad greyish in some of these. I don't know if she smokes but it could just be the makeup. When you have olive and more oily skin it kind of sucks because you look so great tan, but then you have to stop tanning since it's bad for you and then you just look....sickly in certain lights. Many makeups for olive skin look wrong. I actually LIKE the overly orange fake tanners because the ones with not enough orange in them just look grey on me. Most people hate the orangey ones if they have whiter skin. In fact I plan on bringing the pic of her with long hair into my future hairdresser when i get some highlights (if i ever find a decent colorist.) So thank you for these! As far as her young look, too much makeup for me to tell what's what, some botox, but yes, genetics and not getting out of shape is all one needs. No major secrets there -- I don't think the keys to anti aging are to be found with celebs but rather with their DOCTORS. I had forgotten about this model and now I do remember that I could look at pictures of her when I was a kid and feel like, hey, it's ok to look non-American Christie Brinkley-ish, you can still be considered 'beautiful."
I get her confused with another Yasmin -- I think I do unless they are the one and the same -- who used to model for Victoria's Secret and whose father was very unhappy about it since he was a religious Moslem or something like that. I wonder what that other Yasmin looks like now. There were two of them, right? If not I am so confused since she looks radically different from the pictures I remember. Now I need to go waste time and figure this out.
