Cindy Crawford’s current Botox-face: better or worse?

wenn3552242

Several months ago, I talked about some recent (at the time) photos of Cindy Crawford, where her face looked especially jacked. Now, Cindy has admitted to using Botox and collagen injections in the past – she claims she did it to restore elasticity to her face. So, it’s not like the state of Cindy’s Botox-face is up for debate at this point. She has a Botox-face, this is a fact. So now the question becomes: does Cindy need to be doing this much to her face? Would she look better if she wasn’t so heavily “injected”? Back in May, I was horrified by the state of her, but then she showed up at the Cannes Film Festival (to support her friend and stalker George Clooney), and her face looked slightly better.

So these are new photos of Cindy in Russia today. In the closeups, you can definitely see where Cindy’s cheeks have been “filled”. But does she look better? I do think her face looks less jacked than earlier this year. I will say this, though – I think Cindy has done so much, one of her eyes has gone wonky, which happens to many celebrity women. I don’t know the medical reason for it.

By the way, the frequent complaint I hear when I call someone a Botox-face or a cat-face is that they have wrinkles, thus they’re somehow not using injections or Botox. Cindy has wrinkles. Madonna has wrinkles. Teri Hatcher has wrinkles. It’s not about “wrinkles” and whether or not Botox or collagen makes the wrinkles disappear completely. Botox freezes, collagen “fills” and both leave behind the unintended tell-tale signs of the work done.

    I think she looks divine. End of.

  2. Mitch Buchanan Rocks says:

    There’s something odd about her hairline, seems very low, but other than that Cindy looks like Halle Berry, if she had short hair like Halle or Halle got a mole they’d look almost identical.

  3. sasa says:

    The first photo is very unflattering: wonk eye, cheeks too tight and teeth unnaturally white. She looks good in the rest.

    Botox makes you look pretty when posing in certain angles but ugly when you try to emote joy or anger or any strong emotion with your face.

  4. Heatheradair says:

    So, my mother gets quarterly botox injections for ACTUAL, MEDICAL purposes (there’s a looped blood vessel in her neck that puts pressure on a nerve and causes facial spasms — so they inject the muscles in her face to paralyze them a bit and keep her face from twitching).

    And as she’s discovering, injections made at different sites on her face can take different amounts of time to reach full potency — then, likewise — different amounts of time to lose their effectiveness.

    So I *SUSPECT* that’s what we’re seeing with the wonky eye — if she’s getting injected around the eyes, even injections from the same unit of botox can wear unevenly and have inconsistent effects on different parts of the face.

    Short story: Cindy needs to lay off the injections or she’ll be battling wonk eye in a losing battle for a L-O-N-G time.

  5. Bite me says:

    Cindy needs to stop will all the injectable crap.. How old is she 42..43… That wonky eye is very unbecoming… Love the baby hair

  6. maggiegrace says:

    Despite the wonky eye, she’s soooooo beautiful.

  7. Iheartlasagne says:

    I think she looks good but has definitely had something done. She’s just been relatively smart about it. I always think that when I see her late night infomercials for that beauty line she’s currently hawking.

  8. Turtle Dove says:

    Her face changes with each new set of pictures put out. Weird.

    So what is the story with her, Clooney and his fixation? Anyone know?

  9. machiavelli says:

    She uses botox and fillers, and then she is peddling skin care products on tv?

  10. Mayday says:

    She looks fantastic, who gives a fuck if she uses Botox, she’s a MODEL. Her JOB is it to be fit and good looking.

  11. Auds says:

    I don’t know which cosmetic dynamo she sees but she looks good.

  12. serena says:

    i find her depressing.

  13. Julie says:

    I saw her on another site…photos from Russia and my first thought was “what have you dont to your face!” I didn’t know that she admitted Botox and fillers. I think she’s done too much. Noticed the wonky eye and it just looks overdone.

  14. sauvage says:

    God, I hate those shoes.

  15. lucy2 says:

    Still looks good, but different. It’s a shame she opted to do all that, because it doesn’t look natural.

  16. A Fan says:

    Such a beautiful, interesting face to be messed with, what a shame. She does look more like herself in these photos, though, instead of Janice Dickinson.

  17. Hautie says:

    I would not be surprise if Cindy has tiny little scars behind her ears from a mini lift.

    When your face is what your career is based on, a girl has to keep it looking fresh.

    So I rather see her do a mini lift versus putting fillers and botox in her face.

  18. KLO says:

    Looks fine.

  19. Aviatrix says:

    Tweaked or not, she is so classically beautiful.

  20. Rosa says:

    Botox does weird things to a person’s face. Case in point is Tyler Hunter (from the Bold and the Beautiful) who is hardly recognizable anymore. I hate seeing beautiful faces like Tyler’s and Cindy’s become jacked-up and fake looking. There’s nothing wrong with aging.

  21. JaneWonderfalls says:

    She look’s great and stunning! Botox or not this is how it should be done. Subtle! She has always been beautiful to me and I’m not going to sit here and try and find fault when there is none.

  22. poof says:

    I think she looks gorgeous. She hasnt gotten to that crazy plastic face yet so she should stop. Everything in Moderation.

  23. spinner says:

    She looks fine but why is she wearing a wig??

  24. birdgherl says:

    BOTOX causes the “wonky eye” known as ptosis. It will straighten out when it wears off a little…otherwise, she’s simply gorgeous!

  25. rudypatudie says:

    She needs to stop now.

    Or she’s going to go to the dark side , where she will look too enhanced.

  26. atlantapug says:

    Ick. Her eyes are different sizes.

    She looka lika man.

  27. MellaYellow says:

    She looks beautiful!

  28. Patricia says:

    Her left cheek looks a lot bigger than her right to me.

    Not sure what that’s about but between the lopsided cheeks and the semi-wink eye she needs to stop before she starts looking all kinds of jacked like Nicole Kidman.

  29. carrie says:

    except her weird left eyes,she looks fantastic

  30. Reece says:

    I want her shoes. Face looks alright.

  31. Kim says:

    A little waxy but hey women half her age would kill to look like this. As long as she just maintains from here & doesnt go overboard – she looks great.

    Nothing wrong with minor tweaks after age 40. Its the Kim Kartrahsians and Fergies who are to young for botox and fillers who look like freaks when they do it.

  32. Eleonor says:

    The botox will never give her 20’years old face back. She looks fake.

  33. I think she looks great, but I also think she had her eyes done. Upper and lower lids.

  34. lin234 says:

    She still looks so gorgeous. Her genes are just as beautiful as seen in her kids.

  35. CC says:

    She is pretty, but all these tweaks make her look like a trannie. And the eye, geez…

  36. Julia says:

    She is a beautiful 45 year old woman and if that’s all her hair, then wow !!!

  37. Violet says:

    Personally, I don’t think Botox makes people look younger. Botox just makes them look slightly off, which is at best distracting and at worst really unflattering.

    In any case, I think Cindy would look better if she didn’t use Botox. Besides, it’s not rocket science — the best way to minimize wrinkles is to use sunscreen and not smoke.

  38. snappy81 says:

    About the wonky eye — I developed a wonky eye myself after I turned 40, and I’m not a botox user. I have no idea how it happened? I’m not saying that’s what’s going on with Cindy, but who knows…? It may really be nothing other than some weird natural thing happening. Or not. Whichever. 😉

  39. Alix says:

    She can’t stand the fact that she’s no longer relevant.

  40. april says:

    I think she looks a million times better with the fillers in. The fillers add volume to the face because the older you get you lose the volume and that makes you look older. She was starting to look gaunt in the face and this brought back her natural beauty.

    I’m glad she admitted to botox and fillers since she sells skin care.

  41. jamie says:

    She looks good. Makes me want to get some botox/fillers when it’s time.

  42. cowbulls says:

    In my opinion, Cindy is the sexiest woman of all time. She needs to accept that she is getting older and not turn into a cartoon character of herself like so many stars have done like Pam Anderson and Victoria Principal.

  43. Camille says:

    I think she is aging beautifully (with some help) and she looks as beautiful as ever.
    I don’t care if she has had some injectables etc, its not like she is some amazing actress who now can’t move her face to emote properly *coughnicolekidmancough*. She still looks like her beautiful self to me. So I give her a pass.

  44. Lee says:

    Thank goodness I did not spend money on the stuff she pushes in her infomerical………..

  45. JennJenn says:

    She looks great, not jacked. The fillers have probably settled in to become more natural-looking. Hope she lets well enough alone and doesn’t run to her dermatologist at the first sign of a new wrinkle.

  46. Lauren says:

    It def. looks like she is wearing a wig..and she is so frozen & robotic. I guess that is considered beautiful.

  47. Callumna says:

    Odd to choose to only be known for your looks. Every time people see you that’s the entire focus. Too shallow.

    But better than something nasty like reality show or sex industry.

    Cough *Paris Kartrashian*

  48. Jane says:

    Wish I look like that at her age. My ultimate wish is to look like the 20 something Cindy now.

  49. Firecracker says:

    And here I thought she was just aging really, really good. Ha.

    Edit: Those shoes are so ugly.

  50. Memphis says:

    You can definitely tell she’s had some tweaks, but she’s not at the “what the hell happened to her?!” point yet. She still looks nice but she needs to scale it back a bit.

    As for her skincare line, I use and love the eye gel! Botox can’t/wont do it all so good skin is important!

  51. ZenB!tch says:

    Her hair looks so fake and poufy in that first photo.

    Her knees look odd in the photo where you can see her legs

  52. smh says:

    it’s not that bad. her cheeks looks mostly natural. she looks way, way better than milla j in the previous photos and yet everybody loved up to milla’s constant cyborg frown and immovable forehead. smh

  53. murt says:

    Wow she looks great, except for the wonky eye – has she always had that? Her hair is as beautiful as always — she looks almost as good as she did in her 30’s!

  54. EverlyO says:

    I think she had an actual facelift about 7-8 yrs ago and the Botox on top that is making the eye strange.

  55. crumbcake says:

    I’m so distracted by her hair line that I didn’t notice her face so much. I had chemo a few years ago and lost my hair. I spent $2000 on a lace front wig which was was almost identical to my natural hair in color, texture and style. If you didn’t look too closely, you would never be able to tell. It fit just like this wig does along the forehead–something about the part line make it look fakey. I don’t think it looks bad, but I don’t think it’s her hair. Hopefully if it is a wig, it’s just for vanity and not because she’s suffering from any health issues.
    As far as botox/face lifts goes, I think society is so harsh on women who are no longer young, especially those who were in the public eye because of their youth and beauty. I understand why Cindy might be compelled to get some work done, and she still looks beautiful, but I also think it is sometimes more attractive to just leave your face alone. If you’re going to get a face lift and botox, at least wait until you’re in your late 50’s because otherwise it can make you look really “different”.

  56. Francesca says:

    She looks amazing and a little less emo than usual, which is the only giveaway. Well done, Ms. Crawford!

  57. observer says:

    Shame about her wonky eye.

  58. Nancy S says:

    Nice try, but

    SHE LOOKS GREAT! She looks 20.

  59. cprincess says:

    I think she looks beautiful…
    there are so many who look ridiculous and she’s not one of them..

  60. LuckyLilGem says:

    She’s still beautiful as always.

  61. Vesper says:

    @ Turtle Dove – I recently came across a blind item which was supposed to be about Cindy and George Clooney. Supposedly, her and the hubby have a somewhat open relationship. Her go to guy is Clooney. BTW, does anyone think George’s ex, Elizabetta, or what ever her name is, looks somewhat like Cindy, from certain angles?

  62. Vesper says:

    I was looking for a before photo to compare and I found this horrific pic. How could she possibly look so old? Isn’t she only 42?

  63. eternalcanadian says:

    I knew that Meaningful Beauty skincare stuff she hawks was no good. It’s just regular stuff anyone can get way cheaper at their local drugstore because here is Cindy using cosmetic procedures up the wazoo her face is all wonky. Meaningful Beauty my arse! 😐

  64. mamakowalska says:

    She looks GREAT, but I’ve been wishing she’d have that MOLE REMOVED hehehe

  65. Elle says:

    Sorry, she looks ugly. There is no charme, or charimas in that woman.

    Sharon Stone looks much better. Cindy is what she always has been: boring and she definitely looks like this.

    She should get a personality.

  66. smh says:

    @vesper omg this has shattered my illusions completely. i guess being too skinny is not good for you after a certain age. gotta keep it in a healthy medium

  67. Turtle Dove says:

    Vesper – thanks for the dish. I didn’t know that. 🙂

  68. susanna says:

    wtf? shes goooorgeous! ABSOLUTAMENTE!

  69. I have read some just right stuff here. Definitely worth bookmarking for revisiting. I wonder how a lot effort you place to create this sort of great informative website.
