Bonus shot: the ultimate "Less is More" look. If you've taken great care of yourself, you owe it to yourself to show it off. Not many Hollywood twenty-something's would have the confidence to leave the house sans makeup. But Courteney Cox Arquette not only pulls it off, she looks fabulous and fresh.

Low-maintenance does not mean let everything go to the dogs and then slap a little paint on at the last minute. Rachel Hunter is a gorgeous woman, but this frizzy unkempt hairstyle and harsh eye makeup make it hard to see. Don't confuse "Less is More" with "I Don't Care."

Welcome to the Cougar Club, Ms. Carey. Glamour and bling may come to mind when you think of Mariah Carey, but a close look here reveals her to be a master of minimalism. She has just enough of each element in her look. Just enough bronzer. Just enough makeup. Just enough wave in her hair. Just enough highlights.

One of the original cougars, Kim Cattrall set the bar. Cattrall has all the ingredients to achieve Less is More perfection: soft shimmering hair color, subtle waves, minimal makeup in flattering colors, and no visible "work" done. Meow!
