LOGIE Bare?
Did absolutely everyone (yes, I acknowledge my seeming penchant to hyperbolize) have to “nude up” for the 2007 TV Week LOGIE Awards? I mean really. Obviously, the makeup directive was nude lip and cheek for one and all, regardless! I was so let down by the overwhelming absence of even the slightest bloom of living, fleshy colour. So many beautiful, beautiful women, beautiful frocks, and beautifully greasy, Corpse Bride looks, if I may be honest. Did everyone have to sport the makeup look as if they had to dash from the chair with only their foundation applied, not an angel’s puff of loose powder to lightly set, and most certainly without a trace of a natural flush to be found…not a pinch.
Yes, I adore a great makeup trend, this we know. But what I love even more is a woman who wears a makeup look that not only suits her, but showcases the abundance of her inner beauty and self worth, and glamorously jets her magnificence into the stratosphere, irrespective of the trend. Simply put, I’m not feeling the “Look of The Undone” on everyone. Don’t think for a moment, that I do not recognize the immense skill in completing such a bare look, because I do. I just would have preferred looks that were skillfully tailored to each gorgeous woman. Looks that allowed each woman’s inner beauty and life-force to radiate outward from her beautiful self. If the makeup look chosen created the most magic, called for her to go so nude, then so be it, and definitely go for it! But I’m not convinced the uniform and very glowy (read: greasy) nude-fest was the best choice for everyone. And you mean to tell me there was not one leaf of blotting paper to be found in the joint. Anywhere?

I had the briefest of chats with the makeup director of the event and he assured me that the look wasn’t as nude as it translated on TV, but comprised of marvelous metallic tones.
Sounded fab. Pity it didn’t translate as such on the small screen (mine anyways). No doubt gorgeous in the real.
