Jk Rowling's transformation

[retainertrainer]

Just looking at pictures of her at a recent premiere and she just looks glorious. It's obviously down to money but what's she had done do you think? I want some of it! Shame I haven't got her bank balance but is there anything us mere mortals can do to look a bit fresher,youthful,vibrant?

You can see the difference a damn good cut,colour and blow dry makes!

Sorry op but that's balls.

A shite pic from years ago vs a premiere?

Of course it's a great blow dry. Anyone who could afford the money or the time would do the same.

I don't actually think she's had anything done. Just good make up and hair. She always does look lovely.

I reckon regualr facials, a great team for prepping before awards/tv shows, and enough money to eat well and very healthily.

She has never looked bad!

Ooh, she is beautiful

I would say it's just a the blow dry and really good quality make up. She is naturally pretty isn't she.

Trooper-obviously it's a shite picture from years ago vs a premiere,I don't know what's 'balls' about it,just asking how you get that lovely,glossy,put together look and yes I was reading a daily mail article but you must had read it too so I don't see the need for an 'alert',it's not hurting anyone.

Thanks for the other replies. I really need to take better care of my skin,I've never had a facial.

She's beautiful isn't she.

Wow - she does look fab now.

A bit of Botox there - when done well it makes people look so much fresher.

I was at the premiere and she looked amazing.

I don't think she changed all that much TBH. She looks great.
Of course she looks glossier than she used to before, but good for her.

Better food I would say. Being able to afford good healthy Ingredients. Your skin will look different eating eggs, salmon and watermelon for breakfast compared to a slice of toast

Right so I need facials,a better diet (I'm working on this!) and a decent cut and blow dry.

Great quality make up and looking after her skin I'd say. Plus her hair looks lively. Mine isn't great but I've found a difference with a decent cleansing routine and getting some better make up. And actually blow drying my hair rather than leaving it to dry naturally and not bothering to do anything with it.

Im confused, which picture are you so impressed with? Not the one where she looks plastic surely??!

She looks lovely in the one where she's holding a book, naturally pretty.

Missy-sorry to confuse you,she does look lovely in the first picture but we're talking about the second one.

I think I should invest in better quality make up. I wear high street stuff but maybe a high end foundation would help my skin out.

of course she's had work done, they all have, obviously botox and fillers, very likely a touch of surgery

I agree. She looks naturally pretty in the first one and completely fake and plastic in the second one. I agree the wrinkles are not there but she looks more mature in the second one.

umm if the first pic is from the GoF launch date then that picture is nearly 20 years old. Of course she looked "more mature" at the premiere...

Oh come on, her eyes are tighter. So a little lift somewhere, I'd say.

What missy said.
It's not a better diet and expensive highlights.
It's a bit sad when women believe that they could dramatically change their looks if only they ate more healthily/ used better creams etc ( as that's all most of the celebrities will admit to doing) and then they feel shit about themselves when they can't manage/afford that ( or when they can but then it turns out all the salmon in the world won't give you super smooth/ tight skin/ plump cheekbones etc)

Another before fame and after (Rihanna)

With the money and time to invest in ourselves we can all do it ladies

She's clearly cast a Youthfullius Glowius spell.

No amount of healthy eating with make you look like picture 2.

She looks amazing because she has a great hairdresser, a make up artist and a bit of judicious work done.
