Nicole Kidman caught baking cookies

December 22, 2009 Paris B 14 Comments

Ok… I made up the title 😛

  • Save

But don’t you think it looks like Nicole Kidman was caught unawares in a cookie baking moment with flour dusted on her face and on the tip of her nose?

This isn’t quite Ms. Kidman at her most domestic but a look she sported on the red carpet at the premiere of her new movie “Nine”. I guess none of us will ever know what she or her makeup artist was thinking when they went for this look.

Or perhaps the unblended “flour-on-the-face” look is the look to sport in 2010.

Who knows? But this latest look teaches us mortals a lesson – even celebrities with access to top makeup artists can sport unflattering looks.

And the key lesson of all – Look in a mirror before going out and Blend! Blend! Blend!

What cha think of this one?

      Hi Affy

      As some others have pointed out, I think its silica powder. Nearly invisible until flashbulbs pop

    Did the makeup artist forget to dust off the loose powder after applying eye makeup?! What an unflattering shot!! >.<

    omg! ya know, I think it’s silica powder. You can’t actually tell with naked eyes that you’ve over applied it but in pictures, they can look pretty obvious!

    Yes. I read somewhere that powders contain ingredients (is it talc?) that would reflect flash from cameras and some quite badly. Therefore, it is recommended that liquid foundation is used for photography.

    Perhaps this is “dusty” look is from a makeup artist who does not have any idea how his work will turn out in photos.

      Hi Shay

      Sunscreen ingredients e.g. Titanium Dioxide or Zinc Oxide can reflect light too so liquid foundation containing such products can make one look ashy or pale in the flash light.

An “I’ll be out all day and need my makeup to An “I’ll be out all day and need my makeup to stay on” look 😅 Super simple and using stuff I already own. How many do you recognise? 😅 

For the base I think the key is the Nars setting powder which is basically a silica powder. Many brands have similar white powder for setting. I did this same look yesterday and it barely budged/faded by evening. Only lipstick needed a little topping up 😊 

And this is about all the makeup I can handle these days 😂 no eye makeup cos I can’t be arsed 🤪
Been ages since I’ve gone to a big pasar malam ( Been ages since I’ve gone to a big pasar malam (night market). Popped by the one in SS2. Frenetic. Crowded. Lots of food and drink. Excellent good fun! 😆 Your eyes always want more than your stomach can handle. Ate a lot and bought even more food back home. Diet? What diet? 😂
Will have to admit that this serum from @drsambunt Will have to admit that this serum from @drsambunting had me curious about Azelaic acid. It’s a pretty good serum for brightening if Vit C isn’t quite your thing. It’s a 4-in-1 combo of pretty potent ingredients.

Posting for posterity because I like this photo 😆 Also hello! 😜

It’s interesting that when I meet people they always ask me “Are you still blogging?” which tells me they don’t read my blog anymore (cos if they did they’d know I am lol! Weekly generally, but still writing) Yet I don’t blame them because a lot of social credit is placed on one’s Instagram presence. This I fear, is an area I am lacking. I pop in every now and then, share stories that are totally unrelated to what people follow me for, then wonder why they unfollow lol! Other times, spider webs gather in the corners of my unused account. I don’t blame them. Not everyone wants to know what my dogs are up to 😜

Anyway I make no apologies. It’s ok if you follow. It’s ok if you don’t. It’s ok if you’re interested in stuff I do. It’s ok if you’re not. Life goes on for both you and I and ultimately, we just both want it to be happy. So do what makes you happy 😊 I’ll still share my beauty finds and I still blog once a week. I may share what I’m up to from time to time, or I may not. I can tell you that I’m keeping busy and that I have a lot on my plate, none of it glamorous unlike that of most content creators/influencers. It’s too boring for most for me to share here so I’ll just share the good bits - as Instagram intended 😂

But if you want to find me, you’ll know how 😊

The review for the product is somewhere on the blog mywomenstuff.com
Yes I know many of you are terrified of lizards 🦎🫣

But I liked this sunscreen - for the body. Even though it left a white cast. Even though it is hard to remove. It kept my arms protected through a weekend of brutal sun exposure and I survived without burning! ✌🏻
