Katy Perry: Too Much Makeup

I want to like Katy Perry. She is obviously very talented. I am truly touched by her vulnerability in sharing the story of her tough, evangelical childhood. I thought she made a cute match with Russell Brand, and, again, with Orlando Bloom.

But she is wearing too much makeup. It's like Cover Girl, shiny and caked-on, the kind that causes a permanent smear on the neckline of pullover blouses.

Why don't the stylists put a stop to this? She's starting to look like Barbara Mandrell. I also cannot understand why she did the short hair. Not even Marie from Roxette (RIP) could really pull off that look, and that was early 90s.

There is an "offness" to this Katy look that I can't quite pinpoint, maybe going heavy on the foundation to cover up some deeper sadness. But I truly wish she would cool it with this makeup. It's laid on too thick, clearly applied with a cosmetic sponge, looks like a Texas lady realtor, and a subconscious, inexplicable attempt at beauty self-sabotage by a global pop star.

It’s not just Katy Perry - the whole applied-the-foundation-with-a-trowel and Groucho Marx drawn on eyebrows look is everywhere OP.

Katy Perry In General: Too Much.

She supposedly has rotten skin. Acne and scars from old acne. So she cakes it on.

The heavy foundation look for today's celebs seems counterintuitive, given that so much of the supposed fan-base and image-building is on social media, where celeb-types can take, pick and choose their own selfies and use all kinds of filters to airbrush their flaws.

It's weird.

by Anonymousreply 6November 30, 2020 8:41 PM

She always seemed like someone I would be deeply disappointed to meet in real life. She's weird and doesn't have natural charisma - just awkwardness and a loud mouth.

by Anonymousreply 7November 30, 2020 8:43 PM

It's odd to me that she had a baby with Orlando Bloom but they never got married. She has a religious background and did get married to Russell Brand.

Yes, too much makeup.

I do think she can probably sing, she just has the shouting tone too much.

Looks horrible. Wearing that much makeup ages you significantly, as does the dried out platinum die job. She also looks like she’s doing the Trump route with self tanners or the tanning bed—Orange o Rama! Does she think people are going to think she’s a blonde Polynesian?

by Anonymousreply 9November 30, 2020 9:49 PM

I read that her nickname among makeup artists is “colours” as in it needs to be troweled on and in many shades just to make her look decent. Clearly she is overdoing it lately for some reason.

by Anonymousreply 10November 30, 2020 9:53 PM

Her best song was Teenage Dream. Then Blaine from the Warblers snatched that one creative victory from her. She should have been a one-hit wonder like Jane Child, but here she is hanging on like herpes.

She's average without makeup. But when came out in the pop scene, she had big boobs and big blue eyes which contrasted her then-black hair which made her stick out. People were tired of the blondes: Britney, Xtina, Gwen, Gaga, Shakira, Fergie, Beyonce, Ke$ha etc. So Katy stuck out.

That's not a woman. That's a Stepford Hag. Someone needs to sick serial mom on her.

Even though people will say pretty people are more like to become celebrities because they are pretty. I'm quite surprised by how average a lot of female celebs are without makeup. Female celebs wear a lot of makeup too like Katy, Ariana, Beyonce, Cardi, J Lo etc. They are still good-looking without the makeup but not stunning or gorgeous looking like they appear in movies or on red carpets.

I see naturally pretty girls all the time on the street since many I encounter are into fitness, health and dieting and they don't wear that much makeup.

Cardi B is revolting with or without makeup, R16 But less so without.

She has no taste. It's why, despite looking near-identical to Zooey Deschanel, Zooey is considered to be very pretty while no one really thinks Katy is.

I think that even if she had cystic acne scars, she would be prettier and more authentic without all the paint. She could become a Proactiv spokesperson and nail another huge $$$ contract for that. Without makeup.

I believe firmly that short hair is a no-go for female pop singers. Olivia Newton-John's star dropped precipitously in the 80s with the anachronistic short cut of the "Physical" era. Str8 guys like long hair. Women consumers like long hair. Chopping it off like that comes off like she is uncomfortable with being attractive, even though so much of her persona is tied up in exactly that.

R22 just a bad day for Christina with that makeup.

Ariana was cute back in the Victorious days. But she's looked like shit ever since. The botched eyebrow lift doesn't help.

She didn't have a choice as far as the haircut, it was breaking off. Russell Brand is a dick to post a pic of her when he woke her up in the middle of the night. Whenever someone tries to act like Russell is some hipster intellectual, I'm reminded he married her and he was lucky to have her with his microdick.

True, r2, I guess it's retro? They always look like mall girls from the 1980s. That's EXACTLY what Katy Perry looks like in the photo in the OP, big slouchy sweater and faux wooden earrings and all.

Katy Perry is one of those gals obliged to "paint her face on" because sans fard, there is no there there.

by Anonymousreply 33December 1, 2020 12:23 PM

I always wonder if she will be able to watch her music videos or her concert videos. Imagine you are 36 and watches yourself dressing in a lollipop bar, shooting cream out of your breast , transforming into ET etc. And listens to yourself sing incredibly embarrassing lyrics such as "we go all the way tonight, no regret, just love", "I am a champion, you are going to hear me roar oh oh oh". I will have to squeeze my eyes to watch that shit if I were her, and cover my ears.

Orlando looks great without makeup. Katy looks forgettable without it.

by Anonymousreply 35December 1, 2020 1:54 PM

I don’t think she looks like Zooey Deschannel or however you spell it, just because they both have long dark hair and are both “quirky.”

Talent or not aside, ZD is really pretty and has nice features, including big blue eyes. KP is plain more than anything.

by Anonymousreply 36December 1, 2020 5:14 PM

I didn't think so either, r36, until I googled it and when side-by-side, they really do look very similar - not identical, but still.

At least he looks kind of hot without smearing his face with paint, something we can't say of her. He stands out in a crowd, while Katy would blend in easily in an Indiana Walmart au naturel.

And now she's closer to 40 than to 30. It's only going to get worse.

Millions of dollars would make it all go down smoother.

Russell is very cute. He seems needy and childlike though. I respect him for dealing with his issues and seeking help before it was too late. His image makeover from drunk party guy to self-health guru podcaster is respectable. He at least is willing to listen to both sides and doesn't push any type of agenda. He seems nice and isn't an ass like Joe Rogan.

Katy should be lucky she's a woman. If she was a man, she'd be cancelled. She kissed some naive churchy dude on AGT as a judge (so power imbalance there) and was groping this male model from the Teenage Dream video.

For some reason she really want a convent from a group of nun who refused to sell her. And went so far to take it to court. A nun died after a post trial proceedings. Come on, Katy, people don't like you, take the cue and go away.

She may be an awful no talent frau in real life. Imagine 20 years later, she gets an lifetime achievement award from AMA and she has to perform teenage dream and California girl.
