Ladies and their make-up

[rudi]

That link's interesting, isn't it?

The black girl's skin being considerably lightened, the fact that the "before" shot of the last woman is better than the "after" and so on.

As Daves said - it's all a matter of good v bad in the end, isn't it? Why do we get our hair cut straight? Why pick clothes that kind of go together? Why shave?

Yeah, the last one is weird. They've taken a naturally beautiful girl with cute freckles and made her look like an extra from Final Fantasy. Also weird that they actually added weight to Eva Longoria. Make up your minds, fashion people!

[Kays]

That last one surprised me too.  She's incredibly better (and more real) looking in the original.

Yes very odd really. I can see what they're doing on one or two of them, but mostly its bizarre - turning very attractive people into overexposed, featureless, bland cartoons.

Whichever cunt with a hideously twisted idea of beauty thinks it's a clever idea to make Kelly Clarkson's arse smaller needs to be punched in the fucking face.

AND they never bother tidying up scabby fingernails.   I mean, while you're at it...

The funny thing is, I tend to be self-conscious about wearing make-up because I've never really figured out how to apply it properly. I think it's some sort of variation on the 'I'm scared of failing and therefore I shan't try at all' attitude.

I actually don't know how to apply some types of makeup. I mean, i'm fine with eyeliner, mascara, and lipstick/balm but stuff like foundation, blusher and eyeshadow, i'm generally a bit rubbish with so I don't tend to bother with those. I often don't wear makeup at all though. Just no point sometimes. And when I do, it's not a lot.

I do often get annoyed at how much effort women have to make in terms of appearance compared to men, say for a night out. Takes forever to get ready. Blokes throws on shirt, combs hair or whatever and done.

You've obviously never been mates with a male goth.

"For fuck's sake Josh, no one gives a shit if your eyeliner's wonky, just hurry up it's nearly ten!" Every bloody saturday. I was glad when he became a hippy, I can tell you.

Regarding the fake tan thing, I can't imagine what level of slathering you would have to do to achieve the above level of baked look. It's just revolting, why would you want to look like that!?

It's quite obvious that, on the last example, they "turned the tables". You think they ADDED the freckles and imperfections whilst the perfectly photoshopped "Kleanseman-girl" is the real deal?

No way, Jose. Enjoy the pretty colours.

Errr, no. That's what we were saying...?

What the fuck is a comb?!

One of those bits on the top of a chicken:

ive never understood the whole make up obsession myself . If im going out for a night out yes ill make the effort but i would never go as far as not leaving the house without it - thats just insane! I find women who carry make up out with them excruciating - just accept what nature gave you for fucks sake.  HOw much slap does one chick need? why the necessity to keep topping it up through the day? i don't understand!

I have never wore fake tan, and i have never been on a sun bed . FUck that for a game of darts.

I quite happily go to work make up less - im not there to impress people with how i look , i'm there to do a job. Make up won't make me do that job any better and i prefer people accepted me as i am anyway.

I would even go as far to say ladies who won't leave the house without make up are suferficial. Get over yourself. Not everyone is looking at you thinking "christ , she would look much better with a bit of foundation and eyeliner on"  It's not all about you.

also, whats the story with the ian beale tags? ive obvoiusly missed something!!!

No you haven't. They're pish.

[Little Hoover]

Yeah it's a shame when a thread with potential for some really good tags is ruined by them all being taken up by a fad tag theme.

It's Dolly time. Pretty, hairless-cunted dolly. Perfect scented flawless faced dolly. Cum swallowing dolly. Marketed skinny sex object perfection, the epitomy of Western exploitation. Pretty unthreatening lady. Spread those legs.
