Hey, do you remember the last time I showed you one of Emma Watson‘s Lancome ads? I really liked it, but a couple of you guys didn’t (and, by the way, there was a comment that I didn’t see from someone who was kind of bitchy because she thought that I thought that I could buy this makeup and look just like Emma Watson, because I’m dumb enough to think that makeup is magic that can make me look just like a thin, beautiful celebrity. LOL! Also, she knew I was a theatre major in college – you guys know me! – and she was bitchily confused about how I don’t know a lot about street makeup. LOL again! I can do shadows and contours and aging makeup and fantasy makeup, I can make a mold of my own face to make a mask and do stage makeup on that, but that doesn’t mean I know if Lancome lipstick is good or not. Is this too catty a tangent? Whatevs). But now there’s a new one! So let’s talk about that.
This ad is for Lancome’s Blanc Expert, which is a dark spot corrector. Emma here looks pretty good, but I don’t really think she had any dark spots in the first place, so that’s something to take into consideration. The packaging of the product is also pretty sleek, which is something I like to take into consideration.
I’m going to be real though: it took me a minute to notice what the ad was for and then to actually look at her skin, because all I could see was her hair. That hair. I’m not going to judge, because I remember that awful place of growing out super short hair, but this is just … I just can’t with this hair. Couldn’t they have done some strategic pinning so that she didn’t have a mullet? Is there some sort of chic mullet trend that I’ve never heard about? What’s going on here? And what’s more, does she actually kind of pull it off?
While we’re here, I have one more question for you: can you tell me of a lipstick, any lipstick at all, that will actually stay on my face without constant reapplications? I feel like stepping up my game, but everything I’ve tried so far has let me down. Any suggestions?
LOVE. IT.
But I agree with you about the hair. Don’t tell anyone, though, because even I would kill me for saying so.
Her hair here reminds me of Tilda Swinton. Not Tilda Swinton’s hair, specifically. Of Tilda Swinton herself.
Since reading some wild conspiracy theory 4 years ago about Emma Watson being a Reptilian Shape-shifter – I just get so distracted when I see photographs of her. Of course I don’t really believe that but my imagination goes wild searching for “evidence” when I see her. LOL. Pretty? I don’t know. . . . :D
I highly doubt Emma Watson need this product unless she has crazy acne scars or something – they are using her because she has very light (and flawless) skin, which appeals to the Asian market, where this kind of product is most popular.
As for the lipstick – Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar
Aren’t dark spot creams geared specifically towards middle-aged women? Young women like Emma Watson don’t have any :S as for lipstick application, what you need to do is dab a bit of lip balm on your bare lips, then apply lip liner on your lip contour AND lips. Fill them in. Then apply lipstick, pat a bit of paper on the lips and apply another layer. Lipstick will stay on a lot more. Brand-wise, I like Lina Bocardi, which is a Spanish-Italian brand so you may not be able to get it in the US. However, I also have an YSL lipstick and a RIMMEL London one and with the lip liner trick the pigment stays on rather nicely!
MUFE Aqua Rouge! Stays on for the whole day!
just commenting on the lipstick part!! i agree with mireee…line the whole lip-but as for a specific lipstick try any of the matte lipsticks from M.A.C. I have a few and they last all day if you use liner, lipstick, blot, then another coat of lipstick! (they tend to be a little drying though-so use a good balm before and after) Also-try a lip primer along with it (before the liner). Hope this helps :)
I use regular MAC lipstick, no liner, shiny but NOT sticky (my holy grail) gloss on top. Perfect.
Her hair does not look bad to me, but it appears they have done some photoshop work on her face, which is unnecessary.
I swear all that photoshopping has made her look like a 40 year old (albeit an attractive one)
I dot think her hair looks too bad but her hair line is all weird :/
I second the Lip Tar, if you’re going for bold and bright. YSL makes a glossy stain that is super expensive, but really does stay on, and isn’t blotchy the way other stains are. I have the 2 coral colours, and the lighter of the 2 is a good “normal” colour.
It took me a minute to really recognize her as Emma Watson. Which I find weird. Don’t know anything about lipstick.
