There is no doubt that actress Penélope Cruz is a head turner. In a recent candid interview the actress talked about beauty and body image. She admitted that despite always looking ravishing she is not very good at putting on her own makeup. Cruz also said that initially she was not completely happy with her looks, experimenting at times with different hairstyles.

So what does she think is the real secret to being beautiful? According to reports posted online Cruz thinks that loving life will show on your face. This may be disappointing to fans especially since she represents one of the world top beauty brands, Cruz signed a deal with L’Oreal in 2006 and has since appeared in a number of ad campaigns for the company.
