Find 10 differences: in Desperate Housewives (right) and on the way to a recent wrap party

Makeup artists love working with her: Eva has a bright appearance, and all they need to do is highlight it. By the way, as a child, the actress was very complex because of her dark skin and dark hair; only when she started acting on television, she eventually realized: imaginary shortcomings are actually advantages. At the very beginning of her film career, Longoria could even be seen with blond hair; she almost became blonde in the film Over Her Dead Body(in Russian box office “The Bride from Another World”). But we think her natural color is much better!

By the way, in fact, Eva is a fairly light brown-haired woman, but for several years she darkened her hair and almost turned into a brunette. He advised her to return to her natural hair color Christophe Robin international colorist L'Oreal Paris. He once offered her light coloring of individual strands. The actress experiments even less with makeup: light lipstick or lip gloss, bronze blush emphasizing her cheekbones, eyes brightly lined with black pencil and lush eyelashes (according to rumors, Eva extends them and often uses false ones). Her beauty favorite is mascara with the effect of false eyelashes. Today, Eva Longoria has absolutely no complexes about her appearance. And about two years ago I even risked posting my home photo without makeup. In it she looked like an ordinary Latin American girl, and not the most better skin There are a lot of them walking the streets.

Two years ago, the actress tried herself in a new field: in 2010, her debut perfume appeared Eva by Eva Longoria. This spring a second scent was added EVAmour by Eva Longoria, Moreover, the star decided to sell it exclusively through one of the American “couch shops.”

But of course main secret Eva's ability to monitor her weight and figure. She always looks very slim, but not skinny, and certainly not skinny. And this with a height of 157 centimeters! In 2008, she recovered a little - and extra kilos(maximum one and a half) immediately aroused increased public attention, and even a version of a possible pregnancy arose. Longoria did not allow herself to do this anymore. A former gymnast and aerobics instructor, she is not one of those stars who can cut herself some slack and cancel her workout (Eva trains every other day, or even every day). Her standard program is a minimum of 10 minutes of warming up on a treadmill or exercise bike, 10 minutes of stretching and 30-40 minutes of exercises for all muscle groups. She also loves kickboxing. If the actress feels that she is getting better, the intensity of the training increases, in addition, the fitness trainer constantly changes the program. The second component of success is nutrition. Your views are a star "Desperate Housewives" rewatched it after reading the book Skinny Bitch- a bestselling book on vegetarianism. And although Longoria did not become an absolute vegetarian, she began to eat much more more vegetables, due to which the need for diets disappeared. And 1-2 times a week the star indulges in pizza, which she has been passionate about since childhood.

It seems that the world will never be the same: several Hollywood beauties have stopped following the criteria that for several years were accepted as the gold standard of beauty. Almost everyone gains weight, and we're talking about not about unexpectedly appeared cheeks and a couple of extra kilos: we simply stopped recognizing some media personalities. While the media are increasingly discussing the social phenomenon in the context of the popularization of body positivity and the new wave of feminism, let’s take a closer look at who especially surprised us.

Curvy, flexible, with sculpted arms and a flat stomach, the Barbadian beauty was considered a real Hollywood sex symbol: strong legs and a heavy bottom did not spoil the overall picture. Being athletic girl, Riri was always in good shape, and then something went wrong. The whole of 2017 passed under the sign that the singer was gaining weight, and it seemed that at first she seemed to refuse to believe that she had “swimmed” a little. Only when the world media began to pay attention to the fact that extreme minis look scary on Rihanna, the girl had to resort to all oversized formats: wide denim jackets, high men's boots, baseball caps and sunglasses. In the wake of increased attention, Rihanna snaps every now and then (“Who called me fat?”) and does strange hairstyles: for example, the other day she dyed her hair blue.

This story has become a real thriller about what can happen to a woman over 40 if the issue of the regime is left to chance. American singer Mariah Carey, who at the beginning of her career was a slender girl, and in her status as a star constantly struggled with overweight, at some point I decided to relax - and the irreparable happened. According to some sources, she has recovered from 65 kg to 95 kg, and according to others, her weight has already reached a record 120 kg. The saddest thing in this story is that the singer refuses to accept these metamorphoses, and therefore her concert tours in lately become the basis for memes on the Internet. The corsets and minis are the same, but the body no longer fits in them, and movements on stage are difficult.

The star of “Desperate Housewives” Eva Longoria has always been the most slender heroine of the cult series: her figure was considered absolutely harmonious, and the actress herself has said many times that she is not inclined to be overweight. But either failures in her personal life (2 divorces, a series of short novels), or the lack of worthy roles, or the 40-year mark - something radically changed the picture: Eva began to gain weight. When did it happen new love and third marriage, Longoria tried to keep herself within limits, but later admitted that she relaxed and allowed herself to be imperfect. Fortunately, her husband Jose Antonio Baston loves her for who she is. With all the extra pounds.

The life story of singer Kesha, who several years ago seemed to be one of the main stars of world show business and was considered a beautiful and energetic girl, is quite dramatic. After the artist gained wide fame, she admitted to the media that she was subjected to systematic harassment by the producer. The girl also insists that the famous Doctor Luke supplied her with drugs and subjected her to emotional abuse. The court ignored Kesha's statement and ordered her to work out her contract with the producer. As a result, the singer received nervous breakdown, went into seclusion and gained 30 kg. The girl has neglected herself so much that some celebrity colleagues are sounding the alarm about her condition.

The Canadian singer, who exploded onto the world pop scene in 2000 with the hit I’m like a Bird, was distinguished by her non-standard figure - a very slender top and heavy bottom. With age, the singer began to gain weight, mainly in problem areas, and she could no longer hide them.

Who should girls look up to, if not Hollywood stars? Actresses and TV presenters always shine on the covers of magazines, having an ideal appearance. This is exactly what it seems at first glance. In fact, everyone has problems with excess weight, it’s just that stylists and make-up artists skillfully hide them under clothes and makeup. For example, journalists are shouting at the top of their voices that actress Eva Longoria has gained weight. And this is noticeable to the naked eye.

Eva Longoria is a sultry beauty, known to everyone for her role in the TV series Desperate Housewives. She always attracted attention with her bright appearance and slim figure. There are a huge number of photos on the Internet in which a woman looks sexy and attractive. But in recent months the situation has changed. Users social networks began to notice that last year Eva gained weight, and not a trace remained of her former forms.

In the wake of a stellar career

Eva Longoria's track record is enormous - actress, TV presenter, restaurateur and model. Acting career women began with roles in American soap operas, which did not bring widespread fame. Fame came after starring in the TV series Desperate Housewives, for her role in which Eva was even nominated for a Golden Globe Award.

Of course, the actress’s appearance is recognizable. Pleasant facial features are the result of genetics. The actress's ancestors are from Mexico. However, Eva Longoria for a long time thought it was adopted daughter because she's the only one in the family dark hair and dark skin, and her sisters are the owners blonde hair and blue eyes.

However, it was her natural abilities that helped her make a brilliant career as an actress and fashion model.

Longoria's figure

Before we talk about the fact that Eva has joined the ranks of “plumpheads,” let’s remember how the actress achieved her slim figure.

Previously, the star was a petite girl who watched her diet. Eva Longoria weighed 44 kg. with a height of 157 cm. Refusal of unhealthy and fatty foods, as well as a vegetable diet, helped her achieve this result.

This type of weight loss has its advantages:

eliminates excess fat due to low fat consumption;
cleanses the body of waste and toxins;
normalizes digestion and intestinal function.

The meaning of a vegetable diet is that a person should consume vegetables daily, both raw and cooked. The diet includes fermented milk products.

It is better to give preference to vegetables that are grown in our climatic conditions, because the body is accustomed to them.

There are several variations of diets, from strict to gentle.

Nutrition example

A diet based on vegetables should not be followed for more than a week, because the body will receive few vitamins and you will begin to feel a loss of strength.

Fish diet

Another beauty secret of the model was a fish diet. After all, it helps:

improve the condition of skin and hair;
saturate the body useful substances and vitamins;
remove excess cholesterol;
get rid of the hated excess fat.

In addition to fish, it is allowed to add vegetables, fruits, and low-fat dairy products to the diet.

Menu option

Try not to overeat, control portion sizes and follow a proper diet.

Nutritionists' opinions on Eve's diets

Nutritionists confirm that vegetable and fish diets are indeed effective. Also, such nutrition is suitable for girls due to its gentle effect, and therefore you do not have to starve and experience stress from lack of food. The main thing is to observe the measure.

Sports the Hollywood way

Eva Longoria had an athletic and well-developed body. Did you know that before stellar career the girl received an education in kinesiology. This discipline studies the practical side of our muscle movement. That is, Eve approached the development of her body from a scientific point of view.

The actress was also actively involved in sports and fitness, because without strength training there is no way to get a beautiful body.

Why Eva Longoria recovered so quickly

While the model is posting beautiful photos on Instagram, nimble journalists have long caught the actress saying that she has clearly gained weight. And fans began to notice that their idol was gradually joining the ranks of plump stars. Every now and then photos pop up where you can clearly see how the woman has gained weight. This is evidenced by folds on the stomach and sides, as well as rounded hips.

Now the body of a star does not resemble former forms. The parameters of the figure are undergoing dramatic changes, and the hated “ orange peel" The model is getting fatter before our eyes and has already changed her miniature size to plus size.

But just recently, the star revealed her main “secret” to fans. As it turned out, Eva is expecting her first child. She spoke about this on her Instagram account. The star's rounded belly was also captured by photographers in early January at the Golden Globe Awards, where the star came in a tight black dress.

Women, having watched enough foreign TV series, dream of achieving the same shape. But Hollywood ideals are just the work of a team of beauty experts who, with a wave of a magic wand, will turn anyone into a sex symbol. But all this comes to an end at some point. Likewise, Eva Longoria, whose willpower and beautiful figure attracted envious glances, abandoned such a difficult lifestyle for her body and gained weight. Doesn't happen to anyone. Therefore, we recommend not to take radical steps, but to use moderation in everything. Be healthy!

The 42-year-old actress, who is expecting her first child, is not at all shy about her new forms and is enjoying life.

The fact that the Desperate Housewives star would become a mother for the first time in the spring of 2018 became known when Eva was already four months pregnant. Longoria decided to hide her interesting situation as long as this is possible. And the actress can be understood - she is already 42 years old, and this is her first pregnancy. Problems in personal life - failed relationship and marriages - for a long time did not allow the star to realize her motherhood, and now that she had found her other half, Eva decided to take a risk, despite her age. Let us remind you that after three years of relationship, the actress married Mexican businessman Jose Baston. The couple got married on May 21, 2016.
