When someone says “this is your color” this is the type of example that stands out to me

Op here. Interesting. I think this one washes her out and makes her blend into it.

She's lovely! But she is not bare faced and it's weird PPs don't see that. In the first photo see eyebrow color, lip color, blush, and some kind of tint on her face. Which is fine, I'd wear makeup to this event too!

I see the makeup but maybe it’s not playing up the eyes? She’s wearing makeup that it keeps it natural, not plays anything up. But Pam is the one talking about not wearing makeup so it makes sense people don’t see it.

Maybe you are reacting to how busy the dress is. But, see how her features are distinct and bright? And her face is in the same color saturation as the dress?

In the purple dress, she looks faded, especially as compared to the dress which almost seems like it's from a different picture than her head. A lighter and grayer purple would have suited her better.

Keep in mind she's under professional lighting at these events with a ton of photographers with flash bulbs. That's one of the reasons most stars wear much heavier makeup to these events, as well as more refined hair styling -- most people, but especially a natural blonde with pale skin, will look washed out under those conditions without using very lighting and camera friendly makeup. I don't think of Cate Blanchett or Tilda Swinton as super heavily made up, but both wear professional makeup on the red carpet and at major events to even out skin tone, provide some contrast between skin and hair, and just to look polished under the lights.

One thing I kind of love about what Pam is doing is that, for instance, she's wearing eye makeup and mascara, but her eyes look like a normal person's eyes. That's what my eyes look like with mascara and some shadow, which is the most I ever do. Yes, I CAN make my eyes look larger and way more dramatic if I do more elaborate eye makeup with liner and use all the tricks with shadow. But also my eyes are pretty without that and I shouldn't have to spend 30 minutes on elaborate eye makeup to look "pretty." Pam looks pretty here even if her makeup isn't glamorous and perfect. It's the anti-Kardashian and I think a much needed counterbalance to the pressure even regular women now seem to feel to wear false eyelashes and contouring so they can look like people on Instagram.

Wait that's a no makeup look? She has amazing natural contouring, if so. Are we sure it's not a minimal makeup look?

Of the carpet? They are both cool saturated colors so they both look good on her. Definitely a summer of some kind.

That's a red-purple, which is a warm color. So spring or autumn.
But I agree with other posters that she looks washed out in this bold purple. So you may be right that she's more of a summer or a winter.

I’m honestly baffled by all the positive reception she receives.

This color suits her perfectly!

I don't think it's her color. It washes her out. It's too bright for her pale skin.

I get that she's gone natural for good now, and more power to her. But for events like this, just a little would make her look so much more pulled together.

If she even thickened her brows and had a tint on her lips, she'd still look natural but a llot better.

DP. I enlarged the photo and she is definitely not wearing *any* eye makeup. She does have blush and probably some foundation on, as well as lipstick, but zero eye makeup. If she had some basic mascara on, it would make a huge difference and prevent her eyes from disappearing.

She definitely has blush on.

Agree. I love that deep shade of purple but it overpowers her light features. It makes her skin, face and hair all blend together and look less distinct.

In the purple dress pic, she is wearing make up and her brows are a bit thicker than in the bang picture. I love that she is doing a more natural look but I agree she looks better with some color and the thicker brow. I think she's beautiful and I hope she lets herself age naturally.

I respect her for a non makeup choice.

I think it’s a statement and it’s courageous.

However, I wear neutral makeup just to make my features stand out more. It’s very subtle but … after her years of statement non-makeup, we just want to see her features again.

In this photo, you almost cannot see her eyes. It’s an artistic choice, and I applaud her. In future, maybe we just want to see her more.
