She has aged quite beautifully. :)

I cannot believe she is 36 years old!

 

Year 1978, we are like vampires :brows:

She still looks young. She can pass as a 20 year old.

Josie Maran

Chief Empowerment Officer, Josie Maran Cosmetics. Los Angeles

Leave it to a model to preach the one cure-all beauty ingredient you can't so much as stroll down a drugstore aisle without running into. Yes, we fully credit Josie Maran for bringing the all-Argan-oil-everything phenomenon to well-stocked shelves everywhere—and we swear that just one look at her complexion and general glowy-ness will have you hoarding it, too.

At her Los Angeles home, Maran welcomed us munching on a spread of fresh strawberries and watermelon, her two kids in tow. Before getting down to the good (strictly sartorial) stuff, the model-turned-beauty mogul dished over fruity finger food on everything from her (however brief) cameo in a certain Backstreet Boys music video to her short-lived band, Darling, which she co-fronted with none other than Nicole Richie. The more you know, right? And while Maran certainly has the whole West Coast all-green-juice-all-the-time thing—ubiquitous Vitamix and all—down pat, we pretty much rejoiced when she happily 'fessed up to a few of her not-so-green vices. "My food tastes are all over the map. I love kale, seaweed, pizza, and fried chicken. I wish I could eat super healthy all the time, but pizza is definitely my favorite food." Um, twinsies?

 

As we made our way through her wardrobe (heavy on brightly-hued Missoni, basics from The Row, a healthy helping of vintage and plenty of Chloé footwear to boot), Maran turned to chatting about her transition from repping beauty brands to her own line of eco-minded goods. "When I was sitting in all those makeup artists’ chairs, I started asking for products that were high-performance and good for you. Everyone told me it couldn’t be done, so I decided to create my own. I've always believed nothing is impossible. I hope I never believe differently!"

Quotes:

"I’ll never forget the moment I found out I got a contract with Maybelline. I'd prayed for it every night since I was 12. When I turned 19, I signed with them and just couldn’t believe that I had a 10 year contract. It proved to me that if you have a dream and you believe in yourself, you can make anything happen."

 

"I’ve met so many wonderful people throughout my modelling career. Last year, for example, I got to work with Ian Somerhalder for our Josie Maran Cosmetics' 'Model Citizen' collection, which benefited his foundation. I’m so impressed with everything he does for our planet."

 

"My [Josie Maran Cosmetics] family loves to tease me about [the Backstreet's Back video]! I was so young. I was totally excited about being chosen for the video, and I had a blast being part of the creepy, campy vibe. My favorite '90s artist was Tracy Chapman. I still love her music."

 

I’m funny this way: when people tell me I can’t do something, it just inspires me to work harder. Everyone said I was too short to be a model, but I proved them wrong. When I was sitting in all those makeup artists’ chairs, I started asking for products that were high-performance and good for you. Everyone told me it couldn’t be done, so I decided to create my own cosmetics line. I've always believed nothing is impossible. I hope I never believe differently!"

 

"Wow, that’s a walk down memory lane! It’s true, I was briefly in a band called Darling with my pal Nicole [Richie]. It was super fun, but not likely to ever be repeated!"

 

"My food tastes (and all my tastes) are all over the map. I love kale, seaweed, pizza, and fried chicken. Living room dance parties with my girls are my fave workout, and I've always been a big yoga fan. Also, since our Pennsylvania farm is on a few hundred acres, I have some wonderful walks when we’re there."

 

"[My favorite book is] The Great Work of Your Life by Stephen Cope. If I could trade closets with anyone, [it would be] with Pippi Longstocking. I would love to be as free spirited as she is and mix and match, overlap and play with my style."

 

“I don’t run around in heels very often. If I could get away with it, I’d wear my Newbark shoes all the time. They're great for slipping on and off at the airport. I never leave my house without my 100% Pure Argan Oil. It's all I need from head to toe!”

 

"[My first ever designer purchase?] I wore the most gorgeous vintage lace Chanel blouse and palazzo pants to my cousin’s wedding. The outfit just sang to me."

 

“My personal style is comfy, chic and eco, or ‘chicological’ as I like to call it. If I can’t play with my girls wearing it, I’m probably not going to wear it at all.”

 

“I love how free and bohemian people are in L.A. It suits my style perfectly. I spend my days at the Josie Maran Cosmetics office in shredded jeans and whatever T-shirt that’s on top of the pile at home.”

 

"I love pizza. I wish I could eat super healthy all the time, but pizza is definitely my favorite food."

 

“I have two small daughters, a husband, a big extended family and a booming business that requires me to travel regularly to the opposite coast. On a normal day I'm lucky to have a shower, which I follow with a healthy dose of my and quality time with my eyelash curler. If I’m feeling like I need a little color I dab my cheeks with one of my Coconut Watercolor Cheek Gelees for a healthy, natural glow.”
