Too much eye makeup

mjmm · ‎03-12-2010

The vendors when I see them on Skype, their makeup is too heavy. Mally mascara is clumping and spikey. The models are prettier with less makeup. I think with this new thing we're dealing with, our tastes have become more natural and real.

@mjmm Althoughyour personal taste may lean toward natural, for television they are going to wear more makeup. Another thing to bear in mind as we see these Skype images from the vendor's homes is that they don't have the benefit of television studio lighting. All things considered I think most of these women are doing a nice job of putting themselves together and not all of them have the advantage of being Mally, Laura Geller, or Maria McCool (Calista).

@mjmm I would never have Mally do my makeup. To me every makeup vendor has a "taste" level and some do not cut the mustard. I think a more natural look is pretty but eye makeup can be fun for young women going out in the evening.

@Katcat1 Over the top eye makeup, IMO, is one of the most aging makeup mistakes.

Somebody ought to pass that bit of wisdom on to some of the older (not old, just older) hosts. The ones who have been there the longest. They apppear to believe the opposite, that they longer in the tooth they get the more eye makeup they need. A couple of the newer younger ones are following in the heavily made up ones footsteps.

As for some who say they need to go heavy because of being on tv.....but it's on tv, especially large screen HD tv's that you can't help but notice the big false lashes, gooey mascara and heavy liner and obvious contouring so wouldn't it make more sense to go lighter nowadays?

@shaggygirl I have the training and know how to take 10 years or more off a face. I'm sure if anyone tried to post this on their FB page, it'd be deleted and no way to contact them. It's live and let live. I can advise here when asked...one face at a time, but hey, my own 90 year old Mom wouldn't take my advice. She went to her grave w/ heavy, full coverage foundation & powder, liner & 3 coats of mascara w/ colored shadow, bright blush and Revlon Hot Coral lipstick.

Except for brides and the prom group, my reputation is built among the over 40-50 group wanting to pare down for a younger look. I don't sell any makeup/skincare, so just make recommendations and they're free to go shopping after the appointment with me and purchase what I used, the list of alternates or go back to what they used before. Very few are not shocked how much younger they look w/o so much makeup, changing shades and applications, etc. Of course, some women take days to decide. They feel they look "naked", but after those few days of adjustment and compliments, they call back and want a skincare consultation, too.

What I found many years ago, is that women get stuck in the makeup look they felt most comfortable with in a certain time in their lives when they were happy...maybe when they were 20, 30 or 40 and never change anything...hairstyles either. Nope. Have to change with the times...especially after 50...less is more.

@shaggygirl I'm seeing all the features on the hosts and models just fine w/o the makeup artists piling on their makeup. The makeup vendors aren't there to overdo the women during demos either. I'm dreading when the MUAs come back and start using the heavy foundation that settles into lines...black thick liner, etc.

@Trix I'm seeing celebrities interviewed on Skype on talk shows with very natural or almost no makeup. Enhancing features is all that's needed, not stage makeup.

Q needs an entire new crew of makeup people, all of the hosts look better doing their own faces, which doesn't say much for those hired to do the job

All I can say is... POOR HELEN.
