[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She's definitely wearing a full face of makeup. And the purple dress is too dark for her and washes her out.

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![/quote]

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.[/quote]

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.[/quote]

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.[/quote]
