Bad celebrity make-up looks...

[jardinaires]

I think some of the posts on this thread are a little harsh - Amy Winehouse's eyeliner might be a little weird to some people, and yeah it can look sloppy, but I know women in my area who think contouring the eyes looks completely ridiculous. Also, there are people who think bright lipcolor is absurd. Makeup isn't necessarily about pleasing everyone around you, it's about styling yourself in a manner which makes you feel you look better, just as someone against Amy's "look" stated, you wear makeup not to be remembered but to please yourself. I think looking at this in a more abstract way is key in situations like with Winehouse.

Bad makeup is in the eye of the beholder, just like beauty lol. Someone in the public eye is usually styled to please just that, the public eye - not necessarily that person.

That would be a valid statement----if Amy wasn't out of her head most of the time. She's got issues. Her eyeliner is not the worst of them, unfortunately.

Im all for expressing yourself with makeup - and in that sense there isnt a right or wrong way of wearing it. But the comments made about Winehouse are about her application - as someone rightly said on another thread, there is a right or wrong way to apply makeup. Unfortunately Winehouse's beauty regime seems to co-inside with her being off her tits...

However she is a genius, and one of the UK's greatest female musicans

hmm i feel obliged to defend amy here - she's in the business because she has a great singing voice, she's way more talented than most 'celebs'.
i think she can look quite pretty sometimes, but it's hard to look nice if you're a strung out addict.

I totally agree with the fact that Amy Winehouse can sing and can be pretty. I like some of her songs, and its a shame that there hasn't been more from her. In one of her videos, I remember her with her hair down and she looked beautiful. Lately, I haven't seen that. At all.

@ Flowerhead-I know. I was responding to the person who stated that we'll remember the people with horrible makeup.

Out here in Quebec there's a woman who had a couple of tv shows, she's the daugther of a somewhat rich man... She is really untallented (IMO) but they keep bringing her back to tv. Anyway, 3 years ago she even stared in a copy of Paris Hilton's A Simple Life.

That woman is always using too much of her white eye liner and let's not start on the lipgloss... they even mocked her several times on tv because of it

Oh yeah and there was this rumor that she had been for a while Ben Affleck's lover... o_0

So here she is : (I can't find better pictures

)

Now usually I think Christina looks gorgeous...however

I was thinking of using my fake tanner to go out this weekend. I've changed my mind

Check out the hands compared to the face

and the worst offender with bad makeup

 

[Lissa]

No work to do this afternoon lol, so more pics...

Yikes!

 

[flowerhead]

i love the white cast around their eyes...freaky foundation! & lovely tide marks D:

 

[xmrsvindieselx]

I'm going to have to disagree about Amy. As much as i know she needs to take care of herself, she is gorgeous. she IS talented. and even though people associate her with her beehive and winged liner, that doesn't make her any less talented.

but girl neeeeeeeeds to clean up the liner ! haha. i dont even mind that its goes so high up..its messy as fuck. haha.

I knew you guys will have a few bad makeup photos of Jlo. I think she has a habit of putting on too much light concealer. She's a pretty woman but she shouldn't try too hard. She should keep it all natural. =]

 

[user79]

Damn, Xtina looks like an Oopma Loompa in that last pic! Not attractive at all...

 

[CantAffordMAC]

Quick question. Are oompa loompas from willy wonka or the wizard of oz? I keep getting mixed up

 

[xsnowwhite]

^willy wonka!

lol

 

[chocolategoddes]

i never realized how horrible some celebrity makeup is. But we can't always blame the celebrities. It's the makeup artists who do the makeup in the first place!

 

[wolfsong]

A lot of celebs do their own makeup too. I think in these instances it was them (at least i hope so...)

 

[kimmy]

both of them in these photos. ugggh.

 

[ILoveMacMakeup]

I usually love Christina, but she has a major tan line that you can see all the way around her hairline in that last pic.
