"She was bragging that it had been five days since she's washed her face," said one makeup artist who recently prepared her ready for a television appearance.

When I apologized and said it would be worth it because she'd look great, she responded with, 'I always look great anyway.'"

When it was time to move over to the hair department, Snooki had no poof demands. Rather, she wanted to look like another reality star. According to the hairdresser, "Snooki just looked at me and said, 'Kim Kardash me.' She's no Kim Kardashian."

The broadcaster's top manager, Ezzatollah Zarghami, told his managers that female presenters wearing makeup are to be taken off air, saying the wearing of makeup was against the law -- even though millions of women in this country use it.

The JSF's stringent new plan has been written into its charter following an executive board meeting Tuesday and swimmers will have to sign a letter of oath. Rule-breakers face being booted out of the team and sent home in disgrace, a suspension of up to five years or even a lifetime ban. "It is more an enhancement of the rules," the JSF told Reuters.

They'll be 17 core products in the range for eyes, lips and nails with prices starting from 5 [pounds]. Just like the clothing collections, the make up range will be updated regularly four times a year with 'the limited edition capsule collection' taking inspiration from the key trends from the Topshop fashion lines.
