More specifically, I’d like us to discuss this issue:
In My Girl — the feel-good Macaulay-Culkin-evaded-the-burglars-but-now-he-dies-of-bee-stings movie of 1991 — Jamie Lee Curtis’s character spoke the following words: “The first rule of makeup is that you can never wear enough blue eye shadow.”
Is this still true???
Should you ever wear blue eye shadow anymore??
Evan seems to think so.
And perhaps an even more pressing issue: What the hell happened to Anna Chlumsky? Granted, I was 9 years old when I saw that movie, but I remember feeling that this young woman was poised for an extraordinary career. In fairness, I felt the same way about Curly Sue (who today is a phenomenally talented and under-exposed singer).
this girl isnt even relevant. Does she do movies?
and YES you can have too much blue eye shadow lol. I work at Ulta and I NEVER tell people to get blue eyeshadow lol. for some reason people get carried away with it.
She was in Across The Universe. Since then? I have no idea.
I almost love the dress, but then she had to go and strap a second dress to her hip and that kind of ruined it.
I wear stage makeup a lot, so I’m kind of used to too much eyeshadow. And I kind of love it.
Love Ulta! Isn’t the rule don’t wear blue eyeshadow if you have blue eyes? Personally I don’t like her retro- like 40’s?- look.
Chlumsky did a movie called ‘Gold Diggers: The Secret of Bear Mountain; with Christina Ricci right after that where she was the ‘poor bad’ kid in the small town and the girls went looking for this treasure in the mountains. From what I remember it was pretty good.
She took time off to be a kid! And went to U of Chicago
Anywhoo, and she recently did a stint on 30 Rock as Floyd’s original girlfriend and she looked amazing! I was all ‘My Girl’ and then proceeded to shed tears for a deceased boy Culkin
Holy Moley on Curly Sue’s voice! And Evan still has her Dita face on.
i think her makeup looks phenomenal. her dress on the other hand. fugly.
I love her makeup. Her outfit and hair doesn’t do it for me though.
you love her makeup? Really? I think she looks like a damn clown. She is such a pretty girl. All that crap on her face just wrecks her good looks. Ugh I hate it so much I can’t even look at her face. god and that dress looks like a big dumpy sack.
I usually don’t like that much make-up on people but I think she looks goregous. First time in a long time she has looked decent.
Is she trying to be the new “ginger Dita”?
Better than the black-haired Rachel… and I don’t know why, but I like her make-up, although I hate blue eyeshadow, because it makes you looking like a hooker…
She could’ve pulled the eyeshadow off I she hadn’t put all that red lipstick on.
Most important makeup rule is only to focus on either lips or eyes – don’t go all in on both. The result is circus clown-like.
good call
I hate that cake powder on the lower half of her face. Instead of looking like her usual impeccable self, it makes her face seem craggy and mannishly rugged.
But if I could fix just one thing about this look, it would be ERW’s ridiculously fucked eyebrows. Evan! Stop tweezing the inside of the brow! Parallel to the inner corner of the eye, ladyshorts!
thats funny that you brought up her eyebrows, cuz they are bugging me. but my reason is that they are just too dark. redheads usually have much lighter eyebrows, usually lighter than their hair
i think i would like her hair if she just washed that crap off her face.
ugh and also red lipstick usually looks like shit on redheads. it totally clashes.
oh yeah i am a redhead. this is why i am picking it to death.
I’m not personally too hard on lipstick, because everything is clashy-clashy with red hair (except nice neutral boring earth-browns). Like, for the longest time I thought I couldn’t have red hair and wear pink, and now I’m just like eff that.
You are so right about the eyebrows. They need to be thinner, or lighter, or all of the above. The brow color wouldn’t bug me if they were skinny brows, or the width wouldn’t bug me if they were very light. I still want to paint them to be a little bit longer, but yes, yes, right now they are big sausage brows. If you don’t know how to tweeze, shape, line with powder, and seal with wax, DO NOT TOUCH THEM. Gah.
I just don’t wear lipstick. all colors look ridiculous. I just stick to chapstick and stuff. my natural lip color works the best.
Evan Rachel Wood alway looks nasty.
Anna was a food critic til recently, when I read that she intended to get back into acting. Seems her imdb page is looking a bit more active. Yay! I loved the movie when she trades her mum in. The mommy market? She was good value in my youngin days.
I love her blue eyeshadow here. Dark blues are ok. Baby blue eyeshadow, on the other hand, definitely died with the nineties. And it should never come back on anyone too old to be using a princess makeup kit.
i was going to say the same about the baby blue eyeshadow. That is what you should stay away from! Evan is carrying this make-up off well.
You can do whatever you want with makeup… baby blue can be very pretty on eyes still today if it’s used well. Makeup never dies!
The makeup is gorgeous! But then, I’m all for the dramatic look.
The dress? Not so much. What the hell? Had it been short, she would have been able to pull it off as a sort of 30s flapper thing. But it just looks like she borrowed her mums old summer dress from circa 1995…
nooooo everything about her looks weird and off and I don’t know why because she’s actually quite pretty and jeez this was a looooooooooooong sentence but hey.
She was in 13. Which was pretty good.
Love the hair and the color.
Her make up is disgusting.
And her outfit is atrocious.
Ever since she started dating Marilyn Manson, she’s gone off the deep end.
I’m just afraid that when our civilization dies and some future beings dig up photographic evidence of our existence, they will come to the conclusion that we were a race of trannies who had transposable feet (see horrific make-up and awful, ubiquitous cross-legged pose for proof).
I like the hair color and I like the make up. I love dramatic eyes. What I can’t stand is how much foundation is caked on her face, and yes, the red lipstick and the dark, badly plucked eyebrows could stand to go too.
I absolutely love the make-up. I don’t believe in make-up rules if it looks good. If you know how to apply it right, wear whatever colour you want. I think the femme fatale make-up looks awesome with the necklaces.
I think her hair looks a little too Marcia Cross but overall, I think it all looks good.
Shes most likely dyed her hair for the broadway role…
Remember.. spiderman, mary jane, blagh
The eye makeup looks very artsy and carefully applied, but isn’t especially flattering, in my opinion. Overall, I think she just looks desperate to be taken seriously. As far as the eyebrows go – I’m a redhead too, and my eyebrows are naturally darker than my hair, but they’re at least red. Though I don’t think this is a person overly concerned with looking especially natural.
gurl we need to ban her nasty as eye brows, wtf! they like little pube mustaches taking over her pasty face! nasty!!!
At least she looks more like her own person, less like wannabe-dita. 2008 is the year for reinvention, so lets how people stop copycatting eachother and start being theirselves
the eyeshadow is pretty tasteful; the only problem is her face powder. too much.
She’s beautiful. Lets not forget that the camera adds 10 pounds (of make-up).
Yeah I love the movie thirteen with her in it, and across the universe
So far, every movie that I’ve seen that Catherine Hardwicke has directed I’ve hated — including Twilight. I’m glad she isn’t directing New Moon.
But I believe it was Aunt Becky from Full House who said, “the key to makeup is to make it look like you’re not wearing any.” But I do actually like Evan’s makeup exponentially more than her dress.
I cannot believe some of you people like her makeup. in the first picture, its literally all you can see from a far. she looks like a tranny. blue eyes, red lips, peach cheeks, just floating on a sea of pale porcelain skin.
I just can’t get over it. it looks soooooooooooooooo bad.

She looks sooooo old Hollywood and I love it. She looks absolutely stunning I think.
Haven’t cared about her since Thirteen… but just wanted to say – I LOVED MY GIRL!! *Sigh* I miss that movie.
she looks a little more human on those pics. but i still don’t get why she insists on looking 20 yrs older than she actually is. Big shame, pretty as she is.
ERW – looks like shit. too bad, because she’s pretty and has pretty eyes.
My Girl and Curly Sue – I love both of those movies, especially Curly Sue!
I like to rub blue eyeshadow all over my body and pretend I’m Cookie Monster
Why is she fucking up her face with makeup ?
She’s beautiful, but in an old school Hollywood way.
bad
what a drag.
Idk…I really can’t stand the girl, but she strangely carries off the makeup imo. Actually since she started dating MM this is the most color I’ve seen on her lol.
No brownie points for sucking in her cheeks though..
She’s not beautiful. She’s compeltely average… No a little prettier than average, but by no means beautiful.
