Until l'Oreal Paris launched the Studio Secrets Professional make-up line a month ago, I had really mixed feelings about Linda E's advertisments for this brand. Of course, there was the advantage of seeing the supermodel in almost every women interest mag around the globe, but on the other hand, the way L'Oreal used Linda for their range of wigs left a lot to be desired, IMHO. They didn't really capitalise on the aura of one of fashion's most recognisable faces.

BUT... I have to say I'm really enthusiastic about Studio Secrets Professional line that Linda helped to develop in collaboration with James Kaliardos, L'Oreal's official make-up artist. It is just a perfect match. Backing up these new products on Linda's make-up expertise gives them special credibility and it looks like Linda is more engaged in return to promote them. After Mixte magazine, Linda has appeared on the cover of Madame Figaro and German Elle, with a special focus on products born from her tricks of the trade.

Shana posted a preview of the Studio Secrets Professional earlier, now 3 out of 5 secrets are in our gallery. Extraordinary fact, after recovering her voice in UK commercials thanks to one of her fans, Andrew McNaughton, Linda Evangelista also recovered some of her skin texture! Well, these are still not Bill King's Vogue Paris covers, but it already looks more human.
