Eva's beauty secrets
At 50, Eva Mendes (Hollywood actress and fashion icon) is not just turning heads but also breaking stereotypes. In a revealing chat with The Sunday Times, Mendes gets real about her cosmetic procedure experiences, proving she's as fearless as she is fabulous. "I'm not afraid to try things that are safe," Mendes asserts, highlighting her pragmatic approach to beauty and aging.
Not every shot of Botox was a bullseye for Mendes. She admits, "There have been times where I've regretted something...and then you just wait it out." It's refreshing to see a star speak so openly about the not-so-perfect side of cosmetic enhancements. But don't be fooled; Mendes knows a thing or two about bouncing back with grace and confidence.
Through the years, Mendes has been candid about her procedures. In 2020, Mendes shared a look at her appointment with Dr. Mariana Vergara Hofstetter by uploading a selfie to Instagram with needles poking out of her neck.
"Oye! @marianalvergara has finally opened her own @beautyvillavergara," she captioned the post. "This spa-home away from home is incredible! No office with bad fluorescent lighting. No sterile office vibe. This is my go to for all things beauty. A home where you can relax while being tortured by the best of the best."
Speaking of confidence, guess who's Mendes' secret weapon? None other than heartthrob Ryan Gosling, her partner of over a decade. Mendes credits Gosling's adoring glances for making her feel "really f—ing sexy." It's a candid reminder that sometimes, the most powerful beauty boost comes from the love and admiration of those closest to us.
"I feel really f—ing sexy at times," Mendes told the outlet. "The way my man looks at me is just … at times I’m like, ‘Oh, my God.’"
She continued, “That might not sit well with people, but so much of how I feel is a reflection of what he’s giving me. There’s so many things that can make me feel sexy and I’d say that I feel more sexy than not. I guess because I’ve never considered myself beautiful, but I’ve always felt very sexy.”
Mendes' take on aging is nothing short of inspiring. After clapping back at a troll who called her "old," Mendes shared, "Thank God I'm getting old. That means I'm still here." It's a powerful statement that resonates with anyone fearing the inevitable march of time. Mendes embraces her age with open arms and a heart full of gratitude.
Beyond her personal beauty journey, Mendes is passionate about supporting fellow Latina entrepreneurs, like Dr. Mariana Vergara Hofstetter. Her shoutout to Hofstetter's new beauty venture underscores Mendes' commitment to community and representation in the beauty industry.
Earlier that year, Mendes made headlines with her perfect reply to a user who suggested she was looking “old” in the comments section of her Instagram post.
"Yes your [sic] right. Thank God I’m getting old. That means I’m still here,” she wrote. “I’m gonna be 46 soon and grateful everyday that I’m aging. Was your comment suppose to be make me feel bad? It didn’t. It makes me feel grateful. So thank you for the reminder that I’m still here."
