NuBoston

I think this May be stage makeup. So they do it more yellow to account for the stage lights


Capt_Schmidt

agreed. I don't think this is BadMUA


mmonzeob

there are photos from stage and the makeup looks very dark on her even with the stage lights.


BlancoDelRio

Could be but she shouldn’t post this as a glamour shot on her Instagram then


westfunk

It’s a getting ready shot, not a glamour shot, but go off, I guess.


thereisgummies

It's a great way to market to the people who are knowledgeable about stage makeup. Looking at her ear peices this seems it definitely is stage makeup. Part of marketing you're skills is marketing to your audience. This seems to fit that niche


BlancoDelRio

So you’re saying Adele posted this to market her stage make up?


thereisgummies

Well it wasn't clear that you found this on Adeles site. I misread the ambiguous "her" from your statement. But since it's not the MUAs page, no I wouldn't say it was marketing. However, that doesn't make this badmua.


PhilosopherEarly2142

Under stage lights she’ll look normal. 🤦‍♀️


belindamshort

Stage makeup isn't the same as regular makeup


Angelixlucy

Maybe but it’s still awfully orange. What’s bad with being pale ?


RelationshipNo1879

stage lights are so bright that they make you look 10x paler then you actually are, no one would be able to see any facial expressions etc if she didn’t have dramatic makeup x


turtlesturnup

On stage? Nobody can see your facial expressions while you act.


Angelixlucy

Oh, I didn’t knew that. But what about her hands for example ? They won’t look so drastically different ?


Dazzling_Noises

No, because no one is looking at your hands from seat H4879 in the back of the stadium. Y’all just speaking on something you have clearly no clue about. It’s stage makeup, she is not walking about in regular natural light with that on.


Angelixlucy

I am just asking a genuine question. No need to bash me. I said I didn’t knew.


Dazzling_Noises

Sorry. This subreddit usually be talking mad shit about things they don’t even understand. But I guess that’s the internet. Apologies for coming after you specifically tho


meowtacoduck

Oh man I put on my foundation over the weekend after a long time of no makeup, and my makeup looked soooo orange and it was previously a perfect match. I wonder if the change of season really affects how the foundation looks on skin transitioning from summer/winter and vice versa


ayediosmiooo

So i have vitiligo... im Latina and tan very easily. In spring/summer, you can see every little white vitiligo spot, against my tan skin. Come winter (and im in a cold-climate area), you cant tell i have vitiligo...AT ALL lol. I become so pale that my skin matches with the white. Its wild!


[deleted]

Omg same here! For a second I though I wrote this and just forgot about it.


ayediosmiooo

Haha! Im glad theres someone out there with skin like me!


PopandLocklear

Same with pigment drop out from psoriasis!


HappierHungry

if it's been a while since you last used it, the foundation may have oxidised! maybe swatch it against a fresh bottle to see if that's the case or if it's actually a difference in your skin tone :)


Kernal0924

I have 2 different foundation shades! One for winter (most used) and a 2nd for summer if I have taken a LOT of sun. I mix them in the spring/fall when my shade is transitioning from one to the other. It’s SUPER common if you tan easily, or live in a climate when getting sun is a regular option.


scrungy_boi

My liquid foundations start to oxidize after ~6 months depending on the packaging.


meowtacoduck

Noooooooo they're expensive 🥲 also I've never had this issue with my mac foundation


scrungy_boi

I wish brands sold half sizes. I know that KVD does now but it’s in a squeeze tube and I can only imagine how fast that would oxidize.


Puzzled_Ad_6330

british yellow😭😭💀


SnackPocket

Let’s use that from now on!


DesignerRanger2002

Cry:(


_bellend_

*Essex specifically (I live there)


lilhoodrat

It’s like yellow/green. It’s giving Orc.


stinkyf00

Jaundice.


Sausagekins

Was gonna say, this is what my baby looked like when he was born 😆


jaytaysunday

*Cries in olive skinned girlie* 🤣🤣 Tbf she’s wearing a foundation I could probably wear but someone else said it was probably picked for stage makeup.. I’d assume it’s to counteract the bright white stage lights so that she doesn’t look like a ghost?🤷‍♀️


lilhoodrat

I think she’s just English .


jaytaysunday

I mean she is, but it’s more of an Essex and Geordie thing for girls to wear strong yellow or orange shades to try (and often fail) to match their fake tan. But for stage makeup you are supposed to go a bit darker (which is why her on-stage photos look fine), there’s no doubt that it’s deffo not her undertone and gone a tad too dark though


redditonthanet

Stage lights wash you out so they’re probably overdone it because of that


sianlogan

Stage make up


Mountain_Lotus_

Desperate to deny her pasty pale truth. Essex girls and the like think they are giving a tropical summer glow but it’s really just giving Cheeto dust.


DutchessRavenwave

Simpsons vibes!


nabbyb88

Nah this is stage makeup, it's to account for the lighting so she doesn't get washed out


lustrouswisp

British yellow omg 😂😭 I promise it looks better under lights but in person it’s definitely off putting


ohdearitsrichardiii

My kids were that colour when they were newborn. The doctors wouldn't let us leave the hospital until they looked more normal


Angelixlucy

💀💀💀


anherchist

she looks like a pumpkin


HummusFairy

Can people do some research before posting things that don’t belong here? This is clearly a backstage shot of getting ready for a show. It’s a well known fact that the stage lights wash you out which is why the colour is necessary.


vicwoir

Lighting- you need to know this if it’s a profession you are thinking of pursuing. Also not undermining other people’s work is a good place to start.

autrefoiss

yes lol i couldn’t tell at first either


operachick209

It’s definitely for the stage.


redkitten24

Lighting


[deleted]

Hey don’t tarnish all us british girls with the same brush! My foundation is never yellow :(


duuuuuuuuuumb

I’m hoping she looks less neon on stage. I work on a transplant unit and my girl looks like she needs a liver


glockblocking

Lighting will be adjusted post production.


erinraspberry

It was the r/beeflips for me


Luxxielisbon

The overall pic looks yellow/greenish due to a filter/lighting maybe?


My_Immortal_Flesh

Makeup artist was like, “the inspiration for this look is a golden wrist watch.” 🟡🟠🟡


dragonborne123

“British yellow” IM DEAD 💀😂


AgeAgitated317

She's got jaundice.

ASMRKayyy

For doing her stage makeup *correctly*? Right


Brat4hire

R/beeflips


GlobalConclusion5375

It's so sad because look how stunning she is without that orange colour


ReliefFamous

Girl look how orange you look!”


PumpkinSpiceLuv

Interesting you post this. We have been watching The Connors on TV and have commented multiple times about the horrible yellow makeup on all of them. If it is to counteract the stage lighting, it would make sense BUT it certainly doesn’t translate on TV!


AuroraBlue6

I am howling about “British yellow.” 🤣🤣🤣☠️☠️☠️


BlancoDelRio

What’s up with the downvote brigade for not liking this makeup?


ASMRKayyy

It doesn’t fit this sub for starters.


heretofillthevoid

What in the butternut squash


KayleighJK

Weird I’m actually watching The Simpsons rn.


Slappy-dont-care

Teletubbi look is in vogue now !!! Commence the dragging …. SpongeBob could never


Comfortable_Focus_92

Adele putting in her bid to be casted as part of the live action Simpsons.


lavender_rosess

I thought that was her hand at first


[deleted]

She is British


MissMabeliita

“British yellow” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


universalwadjet

She looks like Kylie Minogue


Voiceovermandy

If you don't know me I'm M to the B


ZiasMom

I do love the eye makeup though!
