Sans Fards!
Fards is a really hot word. I know it means cosmetics or make-up in French, but it sounds like a cross between a fart and a turd. A fart that accidentally produces a turd. A fard! Yes, I'm a dumb dumb American with the brain of an 11-year-old. Anyway, this post has nothing to do with fart turds!
French Elle has decided to do the unthinkable! They put Monica Belluci, Eva Herzigova and Sophie Marceau on their cover without make-up or any Photoshop trickery! So they say. They had to have used something! A tan colored Crayon? Maybe The Empress of Lucite stood near them and they soaked in her intense beauty rays. That had to be it.
Of course, they choose three ladies who are hot without all that shit. You know who I want to see without pounds of make-up and Photoshop? I want to see some JLo! Maybe some Xtina too! That's who I want to see! However, it might be impossible to photograph Xtina without make-up since I think the layers of bronzer on her skin are baked on permanently.

Really, that's very funny Uncle Ashtray.
Sickitten, thanks for the beauty tips.
Monica Bellucci? One of the most beautiful women I've ever seen, head to toe.I have the same lips, but if I looked exactly like her I'd be hopelessly vain.
I am a make up artist and they have foundation and powder as eyeliner, and then strangely enough concealer on the lips then they are photoshopped. To me it a a strange choice to use pale foundation to make an older woman appear younger. The make up artist is inexperienced. My guess is they were trying to give the same effect as a photographer using lights to blow out the wrinkles. May be it was the Editor that is a novice. My guess is however made this decision only got the job because who they are related to or who they are sleeping with.
Monica is wearing permanent fards in her lips and eyes. That's not sans fards at all!
These women have makeup on. Period. Their skin has also been smoothed. I know for a fact that Monica Bellucci has wrinkles and sun spots. It doesn't mean that they are not beautiful women in real life. It just means that these people are lying to us and we are believing it like idiots. They make their money out of our insecurities and gullibility. They make money because they assume we are insecure idiots. Since these women don't look like alien photoshopped robots we have to believe there is no retouching or makeup at all. Come on guys! This is just another manipulation from the big beauty/cosmetics business. Probably more dangerous to the female psyche than the pics that are obviously photoshopped.
Now let's just wait for women all over the net to start posting "how much of a goddess this or that actress is because she looks so hot with no makeup on and there is no way in hell I'm going to look like that 'sans fards' when I'm 40, or 30 or 20.... it's obvious I'm even uglier than I thought and it's obvious they are even more perfect than I thought" Yeah! This is a step forward!
They look gorgeous!
xoxoxoxox
Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before.
They all look beautiful, naturally. Even with minimal make up or touch ups. Most Hollywood actresses look like shit without a ton of make up and even worse now with their botox and ugly plump up lips.
What's with all the obsession with ass lips? I get so distracted watching the ugly lips on screen that I get distracted from the actual show! It's ugly! Stop doing that to your poor lips!
They are attractive women, but I am not blown away by them in these pics...It also looks like they all have something on their faces to even them out a little more or some minimal photoshop was utilized. I am so suspicious of magazines when they say make up & photoshop was NOT used. To me that just means it wasnt over done. They are probably wearing the same amount of make up average women like us use to go to work or the store or something.

No, 'fards' does not really mean 'rouge'. It used to, a couple centuries ago.
Thanks, RC. I had never heard it until yesterday and had to look it up in an old classic dictionary. I am adding it to my vocab for its sound alone.
Monica et Sophie, European beauty at it's finest.
These women are just naturally beaut,,, I dig what they're going for with this shoot too, expressing the natural beauty.. this is what they look like on a lazy sunday, their husbands are lucky
Yeah right...these are totally photoshopped. Look at the even skin tone and glow...No one looks like that in real life..no blemish...no freckles, no pimples or break outs of any kind. Are you kidding? The only thing that makes all this look "natural" is the fact that they arent wearing mascara (which makes a huge difference) and their hair is undone.

Sophie Marceau is gorgeous, with or without makeup. Period.

Monica Bellucci couldn't look ugly even if she tried. She's one of those (rare) women who gets better with age. Some of these wrinkly Hollywood skinny-minnies like Angie Jolie & Pamela Anderson need to take a lesson from her: a little bit of body fat is a GOOD thing - it helps ward off those wrinkles. And when it comes to cosmetic procedures, less is always more.
That's very French of them. As a culture they're generally less made-up than say, girls in LA.
My only issue with this is that it was sourced from the self-righteous cows at Jezebel. WHACKKKKK!

Farts are always french, no? At least they come out with a french accent. They are always so guttural. Please don't tell me that these cover shots are sans farts!
sans fards? because they are usually avec farts? I agree!
I found a hot place, you guys should try it ___SugarmommaMeet.Com_____a great place for rich Woman to meet young and handsome man.............
Well, some actresses are really beautiful and also have charm, talent, genuinity - things that Hollyweird generally doesn't care much about. Besides, actors are quite different in photos and in movies - you have to judge from the latter. That's where a certain "something" really shines. Or not!
I have honestly never understood anyone's fascination with 'actresses' and 'Hollywood' cuz to my eyes they are all a bunch of normal looking people. Even under 100lbs of make up you can still see true fug, even after 100's of plastic surgeries you still see the true fug. I just have never seen someone 'famous' and been like 'thats the most beautiful woman in the world'. Please. How the basis of beauty became what Hollyweird says is beyond me. It's all smoke and mirrors and bullshit. The most beautiful people in the world are NOT actors, they are just the people that are shoved down our throats. I don't find any of these ladies to be anything special without the make up, they have nice skin but other then that NOTHING SPECIAL. I think everyone has just become so brainwashed as to what 'beauty' really is. Beauty is not plastic and make up with an empty noggin on your shoulders. Beauty is how you carry yourself, its an air of mystery, being seductive and sexy without being skanky. It's about being yourself and being ok with yourself. NONE of these 'beauties' we are force fed seem to fit this bill in my opinion and being untalented does not add to 'beauty' but apparently in 'Hollyweird' it does. Kudos to them for doing this mag 'photoshop and make up free' it's the thought that counts I guess now if only an American counterpart would do the same...
Not in this pic, of course, she's aged a bit .. but Sophie Marceau, when she was in Braveheart,was stunning. She looked EXACTLY like Janine Turner from when she was in Northern Exposure (also back when she was still a natural beauty).
Monica Bellucci is beautiful without makeup, but needs cosmetics to be truly stunning.
oh yeah... and WTF?? Vanity Fair says Angelina Jolie is the most beautiful woman in the world ?????? BUUULLLSHIIIITTT. Monica holds that title, hands down. AJ is not EVEN CLOSE.
Warning: anal retentive comment coming.
No, 'fards' does not really mean 'rouge'. It used to, a couple centuries ago, but now it's just an old-fashioned word for 'make-up'. They used it because the expression 'sans fards' also means 'without artifice' in general, so it's kind of a play on words...
(oh yeah, and it goes well with 'stars' too :)
Mag, I agree. I think that without the makeup, Monica's eyes just don't stand on their own. She isn't stunning but to some she is. Now why is that? Don't answer that. We know.
"frankly most women look better w/o makeup"
I disagree. Some make-up is good for normal-looking women. You need to have some really great features to look good without.
I've never understood the obsession with Bellucci - yes, she's attractive but not stunning. Or maybe it's easier to find her fascinating if you've never heard her voice or seen her "act"... ;-DD
PS - she's Italian, not French
wow ,Monica.......
Why are people in uniform considered sexy?join in-www.uniformmate.com-to seek the anwsers!

Pah!
Even those 'celebs without make-up pics' that you find online show that they wear the war paint indeed.
It easy to smuggle mascara and foundation onto a pic and tell everyone that they look naturally like that.
Rubbish.
wow Monica's still stunning.
I wish they'd try that on Eva Green.
"Fards" is more like "rouge." I think they chose it cuz it sounds good with "stars." The rest of it says "without makeup, unretouched: eight women dare true beauty."
I think there has to be some make-up or photoshopping here but I have seen women in my city who don't wear make-up or very much and they DO look good. So it's possible. Make-up can age a person, too, as we all know from looking at Pam Anderson. I say good for them (the magazine) but no, I don't believe it's completely sans fards (lol at MK's description)
Monica's eyes just don't have 'it;. makeup or not. Blah. She's a decent looking woman who manages a good makeup job. Eh
Yeah, if you're not really attractive then you have no business commenting here. You wouldn't understand.
So Largerfeld of moi!

She is truly perfection but I don't believe for a second this is sans maquillage. That looks like lipstick, eyeliner, mascara, concealer and base to me. Maybe no powder, though. Maybe no retouching. Or overt retouching.
Sophie Marceau got old. :( I will always remember her as the girl from La Boum... we had to watch that 100 times in grade school French class.
Monica is perfection. I have been in love with her since I stumbled upon this pic while searching for photo shoot ideas.

I may sell my soul to look like this woman. I can believe she has nothing on here but moisturizer just b/c of her natural colouring. I'd love to have dark brows and lashes. Curse my blondeness!

Um... they are wearing hells of a lot of makeup and have been Photoshopped, but that said, these covers are SO much nicer than the ridiculously ugly ones now where the person on the cover is an unrecognizable cyborg/plastic person/Sims character. This level of Photoshop is reasonable to me.
And Monica Bellucci is just insanely perfectly outrageously beautiful.
