Cougar supreme, Sharon Stone, has had her share of "what was she thinking" photo opps. But when she nails it, as in this shot, nobody can touch her. Just enough makeup, emphasis on one facial feature (eyes) and elegantly simple short hair add up to a sexy, confident look.

Newly minted cougar Halle Berry is the poster girl for "Less is More." Sure, it helps to be positively stunning. But don't underestimate the magic of emphasizing assets (great skin, big eyes) and keeping everything else simple.

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.
