VP Debate: Sarah Palin and Joe Biden, the Beauty & Grooming Makeover, Pierce Mattie Weighs In

Regardless of which nominee you are voting for in November (Al Gore, jk!) one thing that came out of the debate was a makeover. Hey – this is Pierce Mattie after all. We don’t talk politics; we talk fashion, beauty and lifestyle choices. Are you ready to examine? And no we won’t go there on Gwen Ifill’s signature Key West green colored sports jacket, it was a smart choice considering who she was interviewing.

Let’s start with Sarah Palin:

The Beauty PR Pros: Loved the foundation it was blended without showing any discoloration. The eyes were smooth, defining but not harsh or whorish; yes there is a fine line between the two. It was very American – very Estee Lauder.

Beauty PR Con’s: The lipstick reminded me of working behind the counter for Origins in the 1990’s and selling a ton of Malt Matte Stick, too malt and too matte. Why did it seem to be monochromatic with the blush? The hair, was that the at home kit where you comb in the highlights? Not good! Blend the frost Mrs. Palin!

The Lifestyle PR Census: She seemed a bit fragile; maybe she needs some osteoporosis vitamins, Visine in the eyes and most of all – be a taller standing VP candidate. Pilates Sara?

The Fashion PR Pros: The suit was svelte, fitting and the fabric had a black sheen to it that made her seem taller than Biden. Was it a satin soft? We loved it!

The Fashion Cons: The glasses (very Palin), but seriously get rid of them! We know you’re hot under the Lens Crafters, and this isn’t a porno, so take them off.

Onto Joe Biden:

The Grooming PR Pros: Clean shaven, skin was moist looking and not stressed, he was obviously sprayed down with an Evian spritz before going on-air. His glow was even on his face, he did not appear to have any man-makeup on, which is a good thing!

The Grooming PR Cons: His hair line--bad plugs or just an irritated scalp from over-combing? Maybe some Nioxin to the rescue and add some shades to those grays Biden!

The Lifestyle PR Census: Didn’t he seem bloated? Nothing some water pills and a little cardio can’t fix. He did stand tall, though if you are going use your fingers and point that much, male manicures are in order.

The Fashion Pros: The tie! It was totally synced into the backdrop, he looked like he belonged on stage, the black wool suit was fitted and elegant yet masculine.

The Fashion Cons: Nothing seemed to pop! Maybe next time he should sport an Ike Behar? Something to make it have a bit more pizazz, especially if he is going to stay so sane during the debate, which was a welcome change.

Politics aside, what do you think? Do you agree with my pros and cons?

OMG - I especially agree about those glasses, they are totally channeling old school librarian - even wrote about them a few weeks ago. . . Keep up the fantastic work.
