What’s up with Nicole Kidman’s makeup lately?

Nicole Kidman Left: Golden Globe Awards 2010 Right: Nine Premiere Dec 2009

I don’t know about you but I feel terribly sad when I see the elegant Nicole Kidman walking around like a train wreck. I don’t know if she does it to herself or if her makeup artists have something against her (in which case she should fire them) or if she should just look in the mirror before going out on the red carpet.

In December, Nicole Kidman stunned the world when she walked out onto the red carpet for the “Nine” Premiere looking like she fell face first in a bowl of flour. The makeup malfunction was eventually traced by intrepid makeup artists to possibly silica powder for which I tried to dupe 😛

This year, Nicole Kidman sure opened up 2010 with a  bang by sporting a smudged orange oompa loompa look on the red carpet of the Golden Globe awards 2010 🙁

I personally believe that the Chanel In Love blush used on her was just too dark and orange on her fair skin and her overzealous makeup artist might have taken things too far by dusting the blush all the way to her jawline.

I do like what they did with her eyes and though I’m not a fan of the wine coloured lipstick used on her ( Chanel Rouge Allure Laque in Santal) I’ll live. A lighter pink or maybe even red lipstick might have worked better though.

I do think a pinker blush too might be better for her – something like Narcisse maybe? I think that would have given her a more fresh faced look as opposed to the tired bronzed look she’s sporting.

But that’s just me. What do you think is up with Nicole Kidman? Are you as disappointed with her current makeup looks as I am?

    Well, I watched the Golden Globes but she looked stunning… Perhaps her makeup looks good in real life, but not so in photoes…. Anyways, her makeup artists should have known the effect her makeup would produce in print so yeah, i would support you in saying that she should fire those incompetent dumb@$$es. hahha.

      Yeah – the makeup artists should be experienced enough to know how the makeup will look in photos. Many of the other stars looks amazing – Drew Barrymore and Sandra Bullock come to mind.

    I was surprised to see Nicole’s makeup when I saw her picture recently too.
    Anyway, the lip color looks just wrong on her. I own Chanel Rogue Allure Laque in Santal and it’s actually a peach colored lipstick.
    I think the one used on her lips is Chanel Rogue Allure Laque in Imperial.

      Well her makeup artist said it was Santal – maybe she SHOULD be fired if it wasn’t 😉 I only have Mandarin so I’m not an expert on the Chanel laquer lipsticks.

    Same with you, I don’t like her makeup even on the 2010 Golden Globes. I think the makeup artist made her look even older! I agree with you that there are so many great makeup artists out there who can make ordinary girls look wonderful on tv or prints! she should sought after them 🙂

The pup & I celebrating birthdays within weeks of The pup & I celebrating birthdays within weeks of each other 😁 Kiddo turns 4 and celebrated with specially made doggy burgers & fries.

I got him in early Jan 2020 so he’s only been with me less than 4 years but it’s been incredible to see how he’s grown (or not), and how he’s slowly mellowed with age (or not!). He’s still that crazy rambunctious puppy who terrorises other dogs, begging them to play and barking at them when they don’t. He’s a greedy fella who makes me think I’m the greatest chef in the world (in the dog world maybe!) and he still gets crazy eyes when excited. 

But I’ve also found more white hair around his eyes and he sleeps in more and later now. He doesn’t even get up early enough to jump onto the bed as he used to 😔

4 years is practically adulthood in doggy years and I’m thankful that we have the opportunity to spend lots of time together even if I bemoan having to bring him everywhere I go. 

Happy 4 years boy ❤️

We just started retailing our dog treats @quandogtreats at our first offline outpost! We’re available exclusively at Lex’s Patio Pantry @lexpatiopantry, a brand new cosy spot in the heart of Bangsar. 

Housed at the base of Kapas Condominium, (enter from Jalan Penaga), you’ll find the brand new Lex’s Patio Pantry, a curated grocer with pantry staples and a little cafe set up offering breakfast and lunch. It’s a lovely spot that is quiet and green, filled with all sorts of wonderful goodies, and is best of all, pet friendly! Scroll to the end to see what my efforts are like trying to get a photo with the kid 😒

This explains my lack of updates generally. Been very busy preparing for this, and amazingly enough, moving operations again! It’s a long sucky story but it might have just turned out for the best for us so as they say about windows opening and closing, sometimes you just have to go with the flow and look for the open window when doors close.

P/s yes I also need a haircut - badly 😅
