Oscars and makeup....

Katluvr58 — Mon, 03 Mar 2014 07:53:02 GMT

I noticed that many of the actress's had really bright cheeks. Is that a current trend? Kim Novak looked really good for 80. Her décolleté and neck were that of a 30 year old. I'm sure she's had some face work done but she still looked good. Goldie Hawn looked odd, like some face work done badly. Bette Midler was aging but very gracefully and looked beautiful. Most of the over 40 beauties are still just as beautiful, like Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts etc... Still, many had the very bright cheeks.

I didn't watch most of it, so can't comment. I did see Goldie, and said (to myself) "What the $*%# did she do to her face? I thought it was sad.

I thought Bette Midler looked fabulous, very natural and does not look like she has had any work done. I was horrified when I saw Kim Novak. OMG!!! she could barely move her lips to speak and her cheek implants where huge! I had watched an old movie of hers last week (Vertigo) and she was so gorgeous. My DH and I were in shock.

What I noticed is that several of the lady celebrities and interviewers did not have any lipstick on -- or they were wearing nude matte lipstick. If this is a new trend, it's unattractive. On the TV screen, these ladies looked lip-less.

Maybe I'm an old fogey, but I think a woman looks more appealing with some color on her lips.

Kim Novak was a disaster! She is so stoned, she could barely function.

I thought Goldie was scary looking. That long hair & makeup was not complimentary to her age. It made her like an older woman trying hard to look young again. On a higher note, Charlize looked beautiful. Her makeup and dress were No. 1 for me.

Most everyone looked great, I thought!

Ms Novak was hardly recognizable to me, sadly. I always think woman (and men) of any age look so much better if they just go with their age and work with what they have instead of getting injections, cut up and rearranged. At least to the point where it gets so obvious.

I didn't notice bright cheeks! I thought the makeup on most everyone was nicely subdued.

Just looked at pics of Goldie and Kim and yikes almighty! Goldie was straining to grin so wide it appeared unnatural and stretched her neck all to heck. Just strange!

Kim, sadly, looked a hot mess. I cannot help but think if she'd just aged naturally she would be still lovely. She looked like she had a Kim Novak mask on. Not attractive at all.

I posted last night that Sunday morning I saw an interview done with Eva Marie St. She was in a lot of Alfred Hitchcock movies and is still beautiful.

She has not had anything done to her face. She is still married for many, many years. What a lovely gracious lady. Just a lady, the way she carries herself and talks.

At the end she, her husband and the interviewer were walking down a sidewalk and she said, "stand up straight and walk and walk. It will help make you feel better and keep you young".

It was a wonderful interview. She gave some stories about Hitchcock and said she'll never do a "tell all book".

I recognized Goldie by her voice only. I had a hard time beleiving that was her.

Annabellethecat, that sounds like a good interview. I like Eva Marie St. Not many claassy ladies like that anymore. I wish I'd seen it.

I thought the ladies and gents looked fabulous-----for the most part. Liza Minelli was a total scary mess!! And I was slightly embarrassed for Kim Novak. Goldie is still trying to capture her youth with her style----she needs a re-do. Lupita was an ethereal angle in her light blue gown. Bettes voice isn't what it used to be but she looked great. I didn't notice any too bright cheeks but do think lips need to be more colorful. The men were dreamy!!!!

I did not notice any bright cheeks. Their MU was natural and subdued - a look i hope is going to be a trend going forward for a long time. I think everyone is tired of the patent leather looking lips and smokey eyes that are so obviously makeup.

annabelle - I also saw the Eva Marie Saint interview. She's a genuinely elegant and beautiful woman. 89 years old! Wow. A true beauty inside and out.

Kim Novak was incoherent. I couldn't understand what she was saying. It looked as though she had her faced pulled horizontally - odd.

Goldie Hawn needs to stop with the plastic surgery. She's a hot mess.

I saw the interview with Eva Marie St., too. What a lovely lady and I so respect her for aging naturally.

Wow...Kim Novak. Her face actually looked painful to speak. I thought Sally Field good. She is aging but still has a youthful quality about her.

More red lips than I expected?

I notice the skin -- it looked moist and youthful (I'm picturing Cate Blanchett as I'm typing this). They probably were buried under 3 inches of makeup, but whatever, it looked like they had healty, glowing skin.

No heavy makeup jumped out at me -- but I tuned in really late and wasn't glued to the screen. I didn't see Goldie or Kim Novak, but you can believe I'm going to Google their pics now! :-) I don't understand how these people who have pots of money and can afford the best, end up looking so altered and unnatural. I honestly wonder if it's kind of like anorexia -- they don't see what they REALLY look like.

On 3/3/2014 happy housewife said: I did not notice any bright cheeks. Their MU was natural and subdued - a look i hope is going to be a trend going forward for a long time. I think everyone is tired of the patent leather looking lips and smokey eyes that are so obviously makeup.

Ahhhh, no one noticed the cheeks, lol. Maybe it was my TV color.

I agree about Goldie. Time to look like a mature woman. Hair needed a trim, face too much stretching. These people have so much money, how come they cannot find plastic surgeons who won't make a mess of their faces?

Sandra Bullock looked beautiful, but a bit too much blush. I guess it's difficult when doing make-up to know how it's going to come across on TV.

I'm happy Lupita won, but not so sure about the dress. I think she might have looked better in another color and more dress detail on the front (gathers, lace whatever) since she is so thin.

Oh Kim Kim Kim--what did you do to your beautiful face? Too much of something, and her chin looked very, very odd. I agree with those who saw Eva Marie Saint--what a beautiful, natural lady--still sexy at 89!
