For the past few years Nicole Kidman has been giving fans a little more than maybe they would have liked when it comes to her facial esthetic. While she discounts rumors of excessive injectables, nose shortening and a mini-brow lift she could not deny that last night at the premiere of Nine her makeup was a little off. When the pics came in this morning our beauty PR team looked at them and thought; call Chad at Three Custom Color Specialists for his take on what went amuck.
We caught up with Chad Hayduk, co-founder of Three Custom aka 3C and this is what he shared with us….
What do you think it was on Nicole’s face?
It really could have been a tossup of several variables from a highlighter or a translucent setting powder that was applied too heavily. Often when a flash camera is used it naturally is attracted to a light color, like a face powder and the camera could have picked it up that way exaggerating the look.
What was the makeup artist trying to attempt?
The makeup artist was obviously rushed, he or she needed to blend, remove the excess powder and make it look more natural. They most likely were trying to cover up dark circles and possibly some broken blood vessels around the nose. The artist also may have made a mistake earlier in the process and then tried to cover it up with more powder. If the powder was put on Nicole while she was perspiring it would not have been able to be blended down, thus causing what you see in the photos.
What tips would you offer the makeup artist for the future?
Blend, make sure the skin and makeup are not damp before you try to set it with the powder.
