The Beauty Secrets of Tina Turner
The Queen of Rock & Roll
Oh, the indomitable Tina Turner! She may have left us on that fateful Wednesday, May 24th, 2023, but her legacy as the Queen of Rock & Roll lives on. And since this is a beauty blog, what better way to honor her memory than by diving into the secrets behind her ever-youthful and radiant appearance? Grab your favorite lipstick and let's go!
1. The Hair That Launched a Thousand Ships
Tina's iconic wild mane was a force to be reckoned with, and she knew it. Her secret? Wigs! But when it came to caring for her natural hair, she would wash it, let it air dry, and then “fork it up”. By this she meant teasing her hair - an 80s hairstyling staple! Although this particular hairstyling technique is mostly frowned upon nowadays, this cemented her as a fashion icon.
2. Legs for Days (and Nights)
Those legs, those LEGS! How could we not mention Tina's incredible gams? It turns out that the secret to her toned legs was a mix of dancing and walking in heels. Who needs a gym membership when you can simply groove your way to fabulous legs?
3. Skin That Defies Time
Tina's ageless complexion was the envy of many, and she had a few tricks up her sleeve to keep it that way. First, here’s a direct quote,
“My greatest beauty secret is being happy with myself. I don’t use special creams or treatments – I’ll use a little bit of everything. It’s a mistake to think you are what you put on yourself. I believe that a lot of how you look is to do with how you feel about yourself and your life.”*
Second, she was a firm believer in the power of hydration, both inside and out. Drinking plenty of water was a part of her daily routine. It seems simple, but sometimes the simplest things are the most effective.
4. The Eyes Have It
With eyes that could pierce your soul, Tina knew how to make them stand out. Her go-to makeup look involved a classic soft cat-eye with a touch of shimmer. To achieve this, she would use a liquid eyeliner to create a gentle wing and add a bit of sparkle with a shimmery eyeshadow. So, if you're looking to channel your inner rock goddess, don't be afraid to embrace the wing and the beautiful.
5. A Smile That Lights Up the World
Tina's radiant smile could brighten any room, and it’s obvious that she took good care of it. She was never afraid to show her perfect teeth when she smiled. And let's not forget about her fabulous red lipstick – the perfect accessory to make her pearly whites shine even brighter.
6. The Secret Ingredient: Confidence
Perhaps the most important ingredient in Tina's beauty arsenal was her unshakable confidence. She knew who she was and owned it, strutting across stages and into our hearts with her unique blend of sass and grace. Embrace your own inner diva and remember that confidence is the ultimate beauty secret.
As we celebrate the life of the incomparable Tina Turner, let's take a moment to appreciate the beauty secrets that kept her glowing throughout her incredible career. May we all be inspired to rock our own beauty routines with the same fierceness and confidence as the Queen of Rock & Roll. Rest in power, Tina.
