Looking Young Naturally
I think Jamie Curtis is absolutely gorgeous. She has a look that is healthy, natural, and which any woman might want to emulate. Jamie Lee Curtis and I share something in common: we have some Hungarian ancestry.
With her athletic, yet feminine build, the gamin haircut has been the perfect foil for her, and it melds perfectly with her lively persona.
For those who want to borrow the style and look of this beautiful and magnetic star… read on….
Jamie’s Style: Her Look, Her Hair, Her Makeup
“…a classic cut for Ms. Curtis. Jamie Lee’s back and sides have been angle cut to create a messy, sexy look and her top section has been razor cut to add body and movement. This is an easy style to maintain with regular trims.” – Hairstyler.com
If you look at lots of pictures of her, it becomes apparent that her general style is to be very simple and striking in flattering cut clothing with usually one focal point of jewelry, fabulous earrings, or a stunning necklace. she often chooses silver metals with diamonds, but not always. The key is that with simple well fitting clothing and her short haircut the jewelry serves to highlight her face. It is a very effective look for an older woman.
One thing that is readily apparent about Jamie Lee Curtis is how fit and athletically slim she is. If you have rolls or extra pounds on your frame you can’t wear her clothing styles. but you can use her sense of color and design for your overall look.
“Jamie Lee Curtis enhances her gray locks with soft, neutral makeup.”
Beauty Tips for Women With Gray Hair
Natural Style

- Adjust your makeup to gray or silver hair:
- Choose cooler tones for eyes like pewter and lavender.
- Choose warmer tones for cheeks and lips like golden pinks and apricots.
- Choose a light shade of brow color and define the eyebrows.
- Add extra sheen to your hair with finishing sprays that have glisteners, use mineral powder foundation with illumination for your skin.
- No copper or orange shades of makeup- choose peachy instead.
- Steer clear of dark lip colors, and make the lips look plump and juicy with shiny lipgloss.
A pomade gives hold and shine and is great for short gray hair like Curtis’ pixie cut. I haven’t seen what particular line of hair products she uses, but her stylist spilled about one that is both good for your hair and keeps a well groomed natural look like Jamie Lee’s signature style.

Aging Gracefully
Sometimes it really helps to have some guidance when entering a new phase of life, like becoming a mommy, re-entering the workforce, or any big and important, new phase of life. Aging is no different.
I liked the advice given in this book and the way it is presented. Maybe we have felt our best was behind us -looks wise, anyway, but the idea of “making a comeback” puts it in perspective. We just have to fine tune some things and polish up a bit… we are on our way to a new and exciting chapter of life.

Getting fit is a big part of the look
Jamie’s Cool Casual Look
Getting fit is important to any woman’s health, and the look of the simple form-following wardrobe that Jamie Lee Curtis wears hangs on a body that is not skinny, but certainly is not packing extra pounds.
In recent years Curtis cut back on her favorite carbohydrates in breads, etc. to cut her weight for health reasons. Modifying your weight by losing extra pounds will reduce the blood pressure and the cholesterol readings. It also makes you look better in your clothes.
True confession: I’m writing this as motivation for myself- to eat healthier and see these results.
You like a Gap T-shirt, and then six months later you want the same one because the baby pukes all over you. And then they don’t make it anymore. So I’m a replicant. When I know something I like, I just want to replicate it.

Staging Your Comeback: A Complete Beauty Revival for Women Over 45
It’s not over yet! We are just beginning to awaken to making the most of our beauty now. A mature beauty, yes, but it has its own attractiveness. Just as we see in celebrities like Jamie Lee Curtis!
What most helped me is the advice on clothing. That is more of a challenge than hair or makeup for me. This book has it all covered, though. Chapters on each part of your look given in an encouraging, spirit uplifting way.
Fun and Freaky Movie
I had so much fun watching this movie.
Freaky Friday is my favorite Jamie Lee Curtis movie. Her great comedic talent really shines out. Jamie Lee was perfect for this part. It is a light and well-paced comedy that plays off the fact that we all imagine we would play another’s role in life so much better: mothers would behave better if they were in their daughters shoes, and the daughter would presumably do everything differently.
Yes, there is a moral here, too- that everyone should give a bit more love and tolerance to each other.
Her Activia Commercials
One of the ways you might have seen Jamie Lee Curtis is due to her involvement with representing the yogurt ‘Activia’ in TV commercials.
“A lot of celebrities do product endorsement. Curtis just stumbled into the big one. “I never in my life thought when I first was asked by this company, Activia, Dannon, to be their representative, I really don’t think it was just like, ‘Oh, it’s going to be a check, I’m going to do it.’ I really thought, ‘Okay, wait a minute. I’m going to go out and talk about bowel movements and about how people’s digestive tracts work. Some work better than others and why and blah blah blah and that this will help.’
I really thought, ‘Okay, is that going to be weird? I mean, is that going to be weird? You’re an actor, you’re a writer. Is that going to just be a weird thing.’ It has turned out to be the most fun thing.”

What do you think about celebrity commercials?
What Are You Doing? – How Do You Feel About That?
How Jamie Lee describes our parenting now…. She is a funny, and articulate. person.
Try to discourage your loved ones from falling prey to this system of dissatisfaction. Men, honor your women and girls. Tell them that they are beautiful and show them that you mean it. Pattern your behavior so that young men can learn about what are and are not appropriate ways to talk about women. There are plenty of things to be anti about as a family. Let’s try to stop aging as being one of them.

You knew Jamie Lee Curtis is partly Hungarian, right? Her father , Tony Curtis was an Hungarian Jew (his father was born in Ópályi, near Mátészalka, and his mother was a native of Nagymihály).
She and her father helped finance the rebuilding of the “Great Synagogue” in Budapest, Hungary. Check out my page for more famous people with Hungarian ancestry.
Everyone Has Role Models
Who was Jamie Lee Curtis’ role model for aging gracefully?
Jamie’s Ideal of a Beautiful Celebrity
Jamie’s Ideal of a Beautiful Celebrity is another great actress who aged with beauty and grace.
Influencer
Everyone has heroes, and the actress that Jamie Lee Curtis looked up to was Jessica Tandy. She was another fine actress who was well known for her great character roles and for aging well.
She acted well into her older years and wore her gray locks beautifully. I think Jamie Lee has followed her own inspiration and given us a role model of aging with grace and panache. Her whole look inspires woman to be more natural and make efforts to be healthy and vibrant.
We can take cues and add notes to our own integration of those things into our own choices as we age.
