Comments on The Indian Make-up Diva: Deplorable Article on Aishwarya Rai and Make-up

I don't think Ash is wearing more make up because she is getting older, but she is experimenting with her looks as she is going through different steps in her career. Everyone in the movies changes, and if that is what she wants then good for her! One thing you hear from celebs is that foundation is a requirement to be on camera and it does not matter who you are. You will look sick on camera without foundation. :)

She is so pretty at 36. What woman can look like that at 36 ????? Cmon haters...........quit being jealous. If I was half as beautiful as her, I would be happy.

1st: Isn't it weird how celebs sometimes look just GEORGEOUS and say they aren't wearing any makeup EXCEPT a little foundation, mascara, eyeliner and lipstick.... lolz and then a pic of them shows up with the real no-makeup, at its really YIKES...

Two points must be made: there have been several candid photos of her recently wearing little of no makeup and she doesn't look old or haggard at the ripe old age of 35 - nor do, say, Meryl Streep or Helen Mirren in their 50s/60s. Secondly - Zeenews isn't the most reliable (read: complete rubbish) source, so you can take anything they say with a truckload of salt or three.

I think she looks just as good or bad as she did earlier. Maybe a little more restrained and refined as she has aged. I find most Indian actresses (or even Hollywood but we're not talking about that) look more elegant and refined as they age as they find the right look and products for themselves.
But coming to the topic, I do think she is looking less like an 18 yr old as would be expected. Also, I've noticed she has begun looking a little heavier especially in the face in some pix. It doesn't look as natural or adorable on her as it does on some other actresses (genes I guess).

the author said "beautiful women" .
He is talking in the context of the woman psyche, especially in the showbiz.
It is completely true, if you observe ash's body language. She knows it herself..
Anyways, the point is.. it is true, and none of you were present when she does her makeup to say, she never applies makeup.
She is older and she skin is sagging and she has put on weight.
These are the facts.
Beyond this, every opinion is just that opinion.
She couldnt make it into hollywood movies, so now she uses her PR and botox to look good.
In the bargain, the pills she used earlier to make her slim, affected her baby-producing capability.. so now, she cant have a baby, so she continues to act.. and hopes her movies wont be a flop, since she is putting on so much fat.
Good luck to the old Hag.

This is hard to believe as she still looks awfully gorgeous and stunning with little or no make up.

2009-05-22T11:58:04.706-07:00

Amen, sister! I couldn't agree more. Poor girl is beautiful and this somehow inspires media hatred. I don't quite fathom this concept.

As others have already noted, this article was not only idiotic (an author's attempt to pass his/her opinion as fact), but also supremely sexist. As if women truly have nothing more pressing to worry about than aging and its attendant physical consequences. To this article, I say "biiiiiiitch, pleaze."

2009-05-16T05:52:00.000-07:00

It's not even an important issue, that's what gets me. They're not covering the recent massive genocide of Indian Muslims, but this'll make headlines? So..so DUMB!!

Besides, Aish is 100% beautiful, more than anyone else I think, she's married, a great dancer, successful, happy...if the writer's aim was to dent her image, he/she needs to know that that is impossible! Wasted our time and his/her own.

Long time reader, first time poster (Feel like I'm calling into a radio show :)

There's definitely a double standard in Hollywood/Bollywood for actresses. An actress's stock dives after 30+, whereas actors are more desired, even if they haven't aged as gracefully. It's unfortunate.

PS - Speaking of Aish, she had LOVELY makeup at Cannes recently in a gray gown with a sleek ponytail. Would you do a makeup breakdown?

PPS - And one of Shilpa Shetty's recent cover of Grazia? I never know how to wear black eyeshadow!

I dont get why they even agreed to publish such an article. Its just some lame person passing judgment on Aishwarya. There are several people on the internet who take to different sources to speak their mind. From a journalist or from any publication I expect truth or some comment from Aishwarya to justify what the author is talking about. Or at least a series of pics, year by year showing an increase in makeup on her face. There are several old pics where she had makeup piled on her and several new pics where she is bare faced. Which picture is this author talking about ? Depending on the event, frame of time, makeup and make up rules change. Yeah one does need makeup at events like Cannes where several hundreds of photographers are there and you need something to protect your skin from the heat, from the oil the heat could produce etc...and other times one does not need much.

Agreed with anon, this is not only ageist but also sexist. Why isnt anybody talking about Hritik Roshan piling on bronzer.

2009-05-15T06:08:00.000-07:00

This excerpt bothers me at many levels.
- First, Aishwarya (if its true) has started wearing more makeup becoz of "aging". There goes Miss World setting an example. If she thinks she NEEDS more makeup to look beautiful..then I cant blame the journalist alone. How about proving that aging can be graceful? No better person than her since she is very beautiful to start with.

- The media industry is so obsessed with aging on women ..that they have made a big deal out of this. This shows how sexist and ageist the media is. This reflects a lot about Indian society. Just like we are obsessed with "white" skin.

2009-05-15T02:36:00.000-07:00

The media's partly made up of losers enthusiastic to take out their insecurities on others. And what better target than the most beautiful woman in the world?

If you go on Aishwarya-Forever.com's gallery, you'll see plenty of RECENT pics of Aish makeup-less (save for kaajal..sometimes) at temples, walking with her hubby, etc.

2009-05-15T01:15:00.000-07:00

I agree with Alex. In most of her recent pics, it seems like she is wearing tons of makeup! Looks a little made up and not fresh

2009-05-15T00:56:00.000-07:00

Hmm. I do feel like I've been seeing her wear more makeup recently than she used to, but I definitely don't think that she, "needs her powder and rouge to look beautiful." I think the worst part of this article (based on the excerpt, anyway) is that it has nothing to do with Rai's feelings about beauty. It seems to be purely about this author passing judgment on her and then presenting the information as if it were fact.

2009-05-15T00:10:00.000-07:00

Not only ageist but also sexist. You won't find such an article calling a male actor old at 35.
