I saw that picture. I laughed until I was helpless. She had on a bright lime green eyeshadow. I felt that all of us from the Beauty of Color panel need to give her counseling.

She's tragic. Everytime she has something court-related, she has it on. It looks like Betty Crocker frosting.

Me and my mom talk about this all the time, and I think Reggie needs to put his palette down for a little while.


Girlll, I thought it was just me about Gayle's weave. Ooh that thing is not tight. On one show, I could see her natural hair peaking out. I wish Oprah would do something to her feet.

Well, since you brought it up, I would love to see her at least have a little shine to her fingernails. I'm tempted to send her one of my business cards....

i hate oprah. but i hate her pitch black eyeshadow even more. it bothers me because it isn't even blended very well. ew. if you're going with pitch black eyeshadow, you need to blend the hell out of it.

whenever oprah tries something new/diff she will get 56345654 emails telling her that shes a mess or something cus people hate change n they love her too much and it bothers them not to see the same old oprah hahha.. i think thats why shes kinda stuck with that 1 look

From a MUA perspective, I think she looks GREAT 99% of the time. My only consistant critique is the lower outer corners of her eyes. The shadow seems to pull her eyes down a bit, not what a woman in her 50's wants.

Her prominent position in TV and in the world is because she has very strategically made herself very attractive to her demographic:

Women ages 29-55 that have careers, are mothers - pretty much everyday people.

Probably not her personality anyway, but why play with your look too much when it seems to work for her demographic? I 've seen that some of her red carpet looks are more like what you guys want to see.

She banked $260 million in 2006; she can do whatever she wants and she does what works.

Her philanthrophy is what it's all about!

I noticed the same thing. A lighter set of lashes and venturing into browns/champagnes/taupe colors would probably do wonders.

the bags under her eyes become more prominent with certain eye colours. the black generally does not do that.

her sense of style is actually rather complemented with her dark eye makeup. the lashes can be a bit OTT but since she wears dark makeup on the eyes the lashes are the only thing that open up the eye, and she pulls it off pretty well most times.

it wouldnt hurt to keep the eyes lined but try lighter browns or bronzes on the lids, but im sure ive seen her like that here and there?

but regardless, oprah gets better with age, unlike many... remember her red lips and dark eyes getups in the 80s?

i guess she sticks to that look for tv but i noticed that on her magazine covers she wears lighter colors on her eyes. the one i saw today she had a shimmery dusty rose kind of pink on her eyes.

i think it must be a trend with black women around her age because my mom ONLY wears dark eyeshadows and she has an eyeshape similar to oprah's . . . i used to wonder just what made me think of my mom when i saw oprah and now i realise it' s the dark shadow lol . . . i bought her a lighter coal color from mac and she blends it with her other dark stuff . . . but i'm still working on her!

Oprah also does the liner on the lower lashline, and that paired with the heavy smokey shadow and falsies everyday have a tendency to close her eyes up. I think is draws attention to puffiness and isn't the most flattering think she could do. But who wants to clown Oprah? Not me!

Exactly! I didn't read your post until after I'd posted, lol.

She could look so much better. I think she looks tired, and well frankly a little rough. All those dark, heavy handed colors are not doing her any favors. She is a pretty woman, but with all that stuff on her face she looks like someone's overly made up aunt.
