Christy Turlington has vowed to keep her "real" face forever.

The 54-year-old supermodel is inspired by women who embrace the signs of ageing and don't undergo cosmetic surgery or procedures such as Botox and fillers and she's vowed to keep her natural look throughout her life.

She told Marie Claire magazine: "Women who have stayed away from augmentation of themselves—those are the women I really admire. I love seeing a real face. A face of someone who’s lived life.

"I would say my beauty icons are people like Jane Birkin. They have the kind of faces I like to see and we don’t get to see as many of those in the world anymore. Jane aged in her way. She was as beautiful at the end of her life as she was early on.

"I will be one of those faces. I am one of those faces."

In her everyday life, Christy only wears a "tiny" amount of make-up but always makes sure she uses blush.

She said: "I only wear a very tiny amount of make-up.

"Right now, I have on a little bit of the RMS concealer. I love the whole line—it all feels very light and clean.

"I’ll use a little bit of that under my eyes and then I’ll use some kind of a cheek tint, even if I have a little bit of colour in my face. I always like some blush on my face. I love Westman Atelier and I also love Jones Road for a light wash.

"I’ll fill in my eyebrows a bit—I use a very basic Maybelline eyebrow pencil. I have so many because I used to work for them for years. I have a scar on my eyebrow so I always fill that in. I curl my lashes, but I don’t really wear mascara unless I’m going somewhere special. And that’s it!"
