[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course people are going to make a big deal when a woman in her late 50s who was known as a total s-x bomb starts coming to red carpets without makeup. You can dismiss it or criticize it, but it is pretty groundbreaking and it’s clear a lot of people find it important and helpful.

Some magazine, New Yorker I think, just did the “forever 35 face” article about how pretty much every celebrity is going to have access in the next few years to facelifts that are unattainable for the general public, but attainable for them, so pretty much most of the people we are going to see in the next decade on TV and movies are not going to look normal. Will they forever look 35… Of course not and a lot of people will probably still have crappy plastic surgery that we criticize just like now, but there is a sea change that I think is going to be even harder than growing up in the 90s and early 2000s which is saying a lot because that was hard.

This is a woman who really been through it and it was largely justified because she dared to pose in Playboy. She didn’t hurt anyone. From all accounts she seems like a great mother and very close to her boys.

[b]Why going make up free and getting attention for it would be so triggering and upsetting to some of you is beyond me[/b].[/quote]

And why going make up free is somehow "groundbreaking, important, or helpful" to you is beyond me.[/quote]

Because no one does it! Yes it is groundbreaking, because I can't think of another celebrity woman who goes in the red carpet or appears in photo shoots without makeup. Because she is older and allows her older face, with it's natural texture and wrinkles and redness, to be seen by the general public. And because she is not apologizing for it or admitting it looks bad, but glamorizing it and daring to present it as beautiful.

Some years ago, Jaime Lee Curtis appeared in a magazine in minimal clothing without retouching, lighting, or flattering posing, to demonstrate that her body looked like a normal, middle aged woman's body, with sagging, fat deposits, cellulite, etc. People called it brave and it was in a way, to expose herself without artifice. She made a point, and it was a fair one.

What Anderson is doing is similar, but different. She's not letting it all hang out -- she's still been ng styled, she's wearing flattering clothes, her hair is styled, there is artifice there. But she's leaving her face bare and daring to present it as beautiful as is. Many people will disagree but I happen to agree with her -- she has a striking, beautiful face and I think it is made more interesting to look at, and more beautiful, because it is in its natural state. You disagree and hate it, it makes you mad to look at it.

So yes, it is groundbreaking. I think it's fascinating. I hope it convinces other celebs to do the same, or to experiment with what beauty is. In the age of Botox, Ozempic, Spanx, fillers, contouring, the Kardashians,  etc., I am interested in seeing something else. Anything else.[/quote]

We’re ALL certainly welcome to our opinion, but I have no idea where you came up with “it makes me mad to look at it”.  What?  Looking at her makeup free face doesn’t make me mad in the least.  It’s befuddling, sure, since even a small amount of tasteful makeup would make her look healthy and attractive.  You like the makeup free look, that’s great.  I think it looks ridiculous on a place like the red carpet when everything (and everyone) else is dressed up (hair, clothes, etc).

You seem to be taking all of this very personally and I have to wonder why.  Tell us, do you go makeup free to the office?  How about formal events?  [/quote]
