Too much makeup

hondagirl — Thu, 28 Feb 2019 19:02:57 GMT

Saw Jane last night when she came in the show and talked with David briefly and had a cup of Cider.... Don't know who did her eye makeup but it was way over the top... Her eyebrows ( much too dark) stood out so much it looked phoney - so surprised that nothing else was said... She was way overdone - she could have looked more natural which would have given her a glowing look... Sorry for the vent but I needed to comment.... I love make up and try and not look harsh or out there....

I agree that her makeup is very harsh and makes her look older. I am not being “ageist!” Her age isn’t the problem. Softer makeup would be so much more flattering.

I think it depends on who in the makeup dept does the actual application. I've heard host say - who did your makeup tonight.

I think her make-up is way too much, too. It seems she has suddenly started wearing more and more. It's not flattering.

I think older women really have to be careful not to overdo their make-up. If they do, it gives them a really hard look. I dislike the look so much that I totally quit using any eye make-up except brow pencil.

She's had over-the-top makeup for a couple of weeks now.

If she wiggled her eyebrows ... they'd look like caterpillars!

This is a little off topic, but there's a commercial running lately and I can't tell you what it's for. The spokeswoman's eyebrows are so distracting, that's the only thing I focus on. I've never really noticed JT's makeup but there are a couple of other hosts whose makeup is so heavy, I lose track of what they're selling and only focus on the makeup. But that's me.

The 80’s called and they want their makeup back.

The younger hosts can get away with wearing more makeup, whether a very bold lip or tons of eyeliner and brow product. The problem really starts as one gets older, to really know what really enhances your looks or just looks over the top, silly and distracting.

None of this is coming from a prejudiced standpoint, because I don't care for most of the hosts!

I think the blame falls on the staff who do these makeup/ hair looks before air. Maybe they need a new makeup artist.

When Kristofer Buckle did Jane's makeup, she never looked better, in fact absolutely fantastic and ten years younger.

Now if Jane did her own makeup, well, she just shouldn't.

I actually think that Jane is'nt the only one overdone with makeup. There are a few other hosts that do look too much over done. i wont name them but im sure you know. I think toning down the eye makeup could be a good start.

What surprised me last night was that there was a 2-hour Shoe Shopping with Jane but Gabrielle was hosting it yet Jane was on the other Q channel.

Of the hosts I'm familiar with, IMO the only ones who look natural are Jill and Carolyn. Awhile ago there was a picture of Amy Morrison (HSN) without any makeup. She looked years younger and much more attractive. I guess because of the TV cameras they need some makeup but I can't imagine what they look like in person with all that stuff on their faces.

Mary Beth Roe also uses a lot of eye makeup.

ITA! The older hosts wear way too much make-up and they look harsh and older than they are. I am up there in years and I find I wear less and less make-up as I got older. That hard eyeliner, false eyelashes and tons of eyeshadow went out in the 80's. I don't know who does their make-up it looks awful. When I see photos of the hosts without all that junk on their faces, they look so much younger and so much softer.

I think they all wear too much makeup. It doesn't do them any favors. I can't even imagine the scrubbing and the effort it must take to remove all that goop and crud from their face and eyes It can't be good for your skin to have it covered like that either.

There have been times that the heavy eyeliner and excessive eyeshadow and obvious face contouring makes me want to go wash my face!

I my professional opinion (😜), when I began doing makeup, there was no YouTube, Instagram, etc. I think many women, of all ages, strive to copy looks whether appropriate for their age or not. If I see one more brow product in magazines that promises the perfect “sharpie” drawn brow, I’ll scream.

Five years ago, women always asked me to teach them a smokey eye...not so much any more. Most, even those under 30, want a more natural look...especially foundation.

It baffles me that makeup artists on a shopping channel that sells makeup would send out hosts and models who are such turn offs to their audiences. Yes, we have HD now, but we aren’t blind. If it’s over done for HD, it’s clown-like in any other light.

Last night, I turned on Q2 to see their big deal with Kim Gravel and I could not believe the amount of makeup she had on. It made her look very garish and harsh. Too much!

Wearing false eyelashes when you are selling mascara,

is a big turn off for me.
