Why Is She SO BAD At Makeup????
Seriously, for someone who has been in the industry for soooooo long, been sitting in a makeup chair for more than half her life, you'd think she would have learned eventually???
But any time she's left to her own devices (for example, all of Wicked and definitely Fockers), it's absolutely atrocious and nothing is blended correctly.
If I, as a non celebrity, who has never ever had anyone do my makeup, can do my makeup better than her, she has absolutely no excuse because she has all the best makeup artists to learn from, all the money to buy the best products, and more time than the average person to learn how to do it. Honestly, it's not even that hard to do makeup well, ESPECIALLY when you've had over a decade of being exposed to it. I've been doing my makeup regularly ever since I was in college and trust me, I am no makeup artist, but it comes out 100x time better than what this is.
I get that a part of it is probably how sickly she looks and no amount of makeup will be able to hide that, but then I realized that Natalia Dyer, who I'd say is comparable to Ariana in term of gauntness and is also a pale white woman, looks wayyyy better than her.
Let's be real here, Natalia Dyer has most likely struggled with an ED ever since season 1 of Stranger Things and is just as bad (if not worse) than Ariana Grande. However, whenever she's on the red carpet, she's still stunning and normal looking (yeah she looks like a Tim Burton character, but I think that's moreso due to her facial bone structure and even at a healthy weight she'd still look like that). She just looks so much more full of life than Ariana and whoever does her makeup knows exactly here and where to add color, blend it out and style her so that while she still is alarmingly thin, her face doesn't look as emaciated or terrifying as Ariana's.
I'd argue that Ariana, being way more famous than Natalia (having been in the industry longer) and richer, has better and more resources at her disposal so why TF does she STILL look SO BAD? It's getting so frustrating.
So yes, Ariana's ED is definitely a factor in makeup not being able to hide her sickliness, but how come Natalia and even other alarmingly skinny celebrities (like Emma Stone) can still look normal?
