Giles ,'Selfless'
[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
That is crazy and shameful. I have met you, Liese, and you have fabulous, gorgeous full lips. They should never be made up for de-emphasizing; they should be made up (if at all, as they are plenty lovely in their natural state) so that all the other lips in the world will gasp with envy.
A pox on your erstwhile makeup mentors. Human beings are depressing.
the base closest to my skin tone was the one intended for white people making themselves up as Japanese.
So was mine. It was always kind of frustrating waiting for the makeup person to go through all of the "white" bases before realizing that, no, I really am that pale.

"Oh, honey.... That can't be right. Here, I'm a professional, let me find the correct shade for you...."
Have not met Liese. However, can comment on the universal desireability of full lips. Go check out the fanfic thread -- I speak nothing less than truth. Also, the 'makeup to hide' a feature never works. I think that goes double when what one is trying to hide is one's whole face. Bleah on that.
Actually in that vein, I wonder whether we will be able to track the deterioration of the grooming situation as we progress past the first week. Charlie's nail polish is still there (mostly), and Shannon lacks not for lip gloss. Also, nobody has bug bites or sunburn. This is truly fantast island.
Thank god for international makeup smugglers.
Well, and you know, it was never done with intentional malice. Of course, I wanted to look beautiful, and beautiful was the lovely blue-eyed blonde with the European features. So that's what was aimed for.
Anyway, thanks for the support, totally not trying to derail the thread.
And that's one of the nice things about the Buffistas, the recognition of human beauty, racial characteristics aside.

Hee. Maybe Sun knows how to make black nail polish out of herbs.
Um, did I mention that the beach they're shooting on is about 200 yards from one of the project sites for my PFH?
You know, I'm going to be in Oahu at the end of the month for a week. Vacationing! My friend who I'm going to be visiting just got a new job so she can't take off during the week and I'll need to entertain myself. I'm thinking stalking the set might keep me occupied.
When I was making icon bases of the last episode I noticed that Claire has some peeling skin/sunburn on her face. That made me happy.
Oh, yeah. I keep meaning to mention, I'm so glad they're shooting in Hawaii. Especially the ocean shots are just so gorgeous. That's the color I believe water should be. Ahhh....
