Now You Can Have the Same Top Secret Formula the Stars Use to Look 10 to 15 Years Younger!

HOLLYWOOD, CA — Make-up artist Bob Sidell used to get calls in the middle of the night from some of Hollywood’s most beautiful women. They all wanted something from Bob that no one else outside of the TV and film industry had ever heard of. Some Hollywood insiders call it a wrinkle eraser. Some say it’s their own personal beauty “secret”. And some just won’t talk, because for them it seems to turn back the clock on aging skin.

First Used on “The Waltons” Working with a pharmaceutical chemist, Bob first developed a new technique to create the “natural” look for THE WALTONS TV series. The cast had to look as though they didn’t use make-up—and before Bob’s discovery, the only way to get rid of wrinkles, lines and blemishes was heavy TV make-up — but it didn’t look natural, especially during revealing close-ups. More and more of Bob’s celebrity clients started using it off the set in their everyday lives. That’s when he started getting late night calls from stars who had run out of their sample supply and swore their wrinkles were coming back.

Used by Major Hollywood Studios Once the word was out, nearly every film and TV studio in Hollywood started asking for Bob Sidell’s secret. And up until now, only the stars could get it, and only from professional studio make­ up artists. What is it? One of TV’s most glamorous stars named it “SilkSkin”, because of the way it made her skin feel—smooth and sup­ ple like fine silk. It rapidly became a rage among Hollywood’s top stars. In fact, many of Bob Sidell p r pares popular actress Laura Grayson for a recent publicity photo session. For over 25 years Bob Sided has been helping Hollywood’s the stars asked Bob not to reveal this most beautiful s ars look even more beautiful. He was the original make-up artist on such TV hits as THE LOVE BOAT, THE WALTONS, SPACE, incredible beauty secret. But Bob had and DYNASTY as well as the make-up artist for movies such as BODY HEAT, E.T., M.A.S.H. and RHINESTONE. a dream. You see, Bob is a professional skin care consultant.
