Angelina Jolie had an HD makeup fail at ‘Normal Heart’ premiere: rookie mistake?

FFN_Jolie_Pitt_AAR_051214_51409443

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt attended last night’s NYC premiere of The Normal Heart. They came out to support Brad’s friends for the most part – Brad is close to Julia Roberts (one of the stars of the film) and Brad produced Eat Pray Love, which starred Julia and was directed by Ryan Murphy, who directed The Normal Heart. Brad’s also a producer on The Normal Heart (which I didn’t know before today). Plus, I guess Angelina and Brad just wanted to see the film (so do I).

But like all things Brangelina, they pulled focus. They would have pulled focus even if they both showed up wearing potato sacks (Angelina just perked up). But they pulled focus last night because Angelina had a major makeup malfunction. I think the problem is high-definition makeup, which has been a problem for many stars on red carpets before. The HD makeup can look very powdery under certain lighting conditions, and you can see the varied ways Angelina’s makeup was noticeable last night in different light. I feel sorry for her – this is such a rookie mistake. She needs new makeup people, because it’s not like this is the first makeup fail for Angie in even the past week. During the Maleficent photocall last week, she had HD makeup on her legs and it was noticeable there too.

I’m also including a couple of photos of Shiloh and Pax out with a bodyguard yesterday in NYC. Shiloh is so beautiful!

    Ugh how do you not notice that? As a side note: brad looks so much hotter now that he’s cut that hair. Now he needs to drop the old-man sunglasses. EDIT: I can’t tell if that’s sunglasses transition lenses, or just a weird shadow over the glasses. Oh well, I think he’s super hot now regardless lol

    • Tiffany says:

      I don’t think you can see it in normal lighting with your eyes. I think it only shows up with a flash in photos.

    • BendyWindy says:

      You don’t notice because it looks fine in person, it only shows up in photos. Total fail on her makeup artist’s part. But I kind of like it. Stars…they’re just like us.

      • Marie says:

        Yes..In person it would look perfectly blended. There is an ingredient in some make up lines that look like white powder when exposed to a camera flash. MAC had a foundation with this ingredient and after attending a wedding my face did this same thing in photos. I never used that foundation again!

      • Ben says:

        No. They’re not just like us. They’re not authentic in more ways than one.

    • Original Lee says:

      She still looks beautiful – that’s all I’ve got.

    • paranormalgirl says:

      You totally do not see it under normal or fluorescent light. It’s the flashbulbs and klieg lights that cause it to be seen.

      • Peppa says:

        Yup yup. Total fail on her make up artist’s part. In normal lighting, she wouldn’t look as if she was just in a flour fight. She’s still beautiful, regardless!

    • BW says:

      Isn’t the whole point of makeup so it looks good under the lighting you are going to be in?

      I agree, how do you not notice this?

      You get ready and you snap a few flash selfies of yourself to make sure it looks right. Then you delete the selfies and wash you face.

      • Crank says:

        Oh I totally agree that it should look good in the lighting you’ll be in. I’m quite sure it probably didn’t look like that to the naked eye until the crazy high-power flashes from cameras shined on it. I love her, and brad of course. Mmmm definitely Brad

      • Marie says:

        There is an ingredient in some high end make up lines that when exposed to a certain type of flash (usually expensive cameras) it will appear like white powder. A camera phone wouldn’t produce this picture. I had this happen to me. It was not a commonly used MAC foundation and it was at a wedding. My friend and me both came out with hideous pictures.

      • Decloo says:

        That can’t be very high-end makeup if it makes you look like the Pillsbury Dough Boy.

    • Adrien says:

      Maybe her makeup artist is Team Aniston. @BW, HD makeup smear does not appear on selfies. High powered flashes can make them appear.

    • Carrie says:

      You can’t see it under normal lighting, it only shows up under flash, if its not blended right.

    • Delorb says:

      Forget the powder, why does she insist on showing her boney arms and legs? Jeez.

    • Melanie says:

      As others have noted, it’s the silica in HD powders. Most HD powders like MAC and MakeupForever have one ingredient: finely milled silica. NEVER use it for flash photography.

      This isn’t the first time this has happened to a celeb. I remember both Nicole Kidman and Eva Longoria looking like crap on a red carpet because their makeup artist failed them. Whoever did this to her needs to be fired, stat! It was all over her legs at one of the Maleficent events last week too. No excuse. This is makeup 101 and any artist worth their salt should know better.

  2. Kiddo says:

    Tragic application of make-up, but still nowhere near as horrendous as Brad’s jacket, T-shirt and his overall look. When did he exterminate the last remaining vestiges of hot and why did he hate it?

    • blue marie says:

      The minute Clooney handed over his Dippity-Doo.

    • TheOriginalKitten says:

      The brief window of him looking crazy-hot again has now closed with a swiftness.

      Poor Angelina….

      Also, what IS “HD makeup”?

      • Christin says:

        HD makeup comes in foundation and powder. It is supposed to make skin look flawless in high definition photography. The powder appears to be the issue here. I have some HD powder that is as milky white as what appears on her skin. I guess they used too much / didn’t blend properly???

      • Tiffany says:

        When shot by an HD camera, normal makeup can fall into fine lines and exaggerate them. HD make up us very finely milled so it doesn’t fall into cracks. I know Make Up Forever has an HD powder that is highly rated, but I don’t think it’s the only one.

        Because the particles are so fine, in real life with the naked eye she wouldn’t appear this way. It is the flash that us causing it to show up, along with the camera.

      • Kiddo says:

        @TheOriginalKitten, I think it’s all that light deflecting stuff that under certain lighting conditions diffuses imperfections, but under routine lighting looks clownishly heavy handed.

      • Sal says:

        Yep. What Tiffany said reminds me of my first experiment with a good quality digital camera. Anyone ever download onto computer digital photos and enlarge them and you can see all the facial hairs and pores, like they’ve been magnified? Probably not the same thing but it reminds me of that.

      • TheOriginalKitten says:

        Thanks for the explanations! Do people use HD makeup regularly or is it only for celebs doing red carpet stuff?

      • mimif says:

        I have/use HD makeup and I’m just a garden variety hillbilly.

      • Mdac says:

        To the HD makeup experts:

        So why isnt this showing up on other celebs? Or atleast in such an extreme way. I know nothing about these things but I think they are using the wrong shade.

      • blue marie says:

        Mdac.. I’m not an expert because I’ve never used it (guess that makes me compost hillbilly as compared to mimi) but if you check out Lainey, she said at one time it was a specific HD powered used? (she gives examples)

      • Tswise says:

        @mdac it has happened lots of times to other celebs. http:// http://www.google.com/search?q=hd%20makeup%20fail&tbm=isch

      • littlestar says:

        I would like to know where you can buy this HD makeup and which brands are the best. Anyone have some recommendations?

      • TheOriginalKitten says:

        I got some at lunch at Sephora…Makeup Forever.

        It better be good or I’m blaming you b*tches!!

      • Tiffany :) says:

        TOK, have you been watching John Oliver’s new show on HBO (he’s from the Daily Show). He did this bit the other day about Sen. Mitch McConnell and his Democratic challenger Alison Lundergan Grimes. Not trying to ruin the surpise, but it includes BALLS. Must be seen to be believed!

        http://www.mediaite.com/tv/you-need-to-watch-john-olivers-hilariously-raunchy-take-on-political-ads/

      • Delorb says:

        @Tiffany

        You warned me. But damn! I can’t unsee it. I just can’t unsee it.

      • Marie says:

        It’s a very rare ingredient that causes this. I believe it’s only used in a couple high end lines now. This happened to me 15 years ago with a particular MAC foundation (and two of my other girlfriends who used the same product). Always with a particular camera flash. We looked like ghosts. MAC no longer uses that ingredient and I heard from a make artist it’s only found in a few high end lines now. I wouldn’t know though…too poor for the high end stuff!

      • Tiffany :) says:

        Sorry, Delorb! When I watched it last night I was simultaneously sheilding my eyes and laughing hysterically. So wrong, but so funny! And of course it made me think of celebitchy…

    • claire says:

      Darling please. Brad is not hot?
      Give me your garbage can Darling ! LOL

      • Kiddo says:

        Will do!

      • Sal says:

        Agreed. Imo, and I’m not just saying this, he looks hotter than ever imo.

      • TheOriginalKitten says:

        Ha ha…well I do like his hair short.
        I like him-I think he’s sexy, but not here. Not at all.

      • minime says:

        eheh I think that Brad was wayyyyyy hotter once upon a time.
        He is still fine looking but those glasses, that hair licked on his head, and the strange way of his jaw is just too much.
        Every now and then he can bring the sexiness back, but no, not here.

      • m says:

        Makeup forever has the best HD make up.. thr brush that we use to aply the HD powder is normally wth black fur so we can se the amount we’re using.. thar powder is awesome cause besides makes you skeen flawless it doesnt change the colour of your foundation. Its translucid! But when a large amount is used even if you cant see it reflects light cause its rich in minerals thats why when you take flash photos the powder appears

      • kri says:

        It looks like Lindsay Lohan sneezed on her! Fire whoever did that less than basic shit.

      • TheOriginalKitten says:

        lol, Kri.

    • lucy says:

      Agreed, he looks waaay worse than she does. That jacket it straight up disgusting….

    • Cecilia says:

      I am cringing at Brad’s derpy smile. Why can’t he smile normal any more? That said…Aj’s makeup situation is kind of tragic. She’s a pro — a veteran on the carpet, right? I don’t know how this could have happened.

      • kri says:

        It looks like Lindsay Lohan sneezed on her! Fire whoever did that less than basic shit.

    • doofus says:

      I think it’s OK except for the jacket…of course, then it would just be Johnny Cash-style black on black, but that would be WAY better than that…THING he’s wearing as a jacket.

      is it a tux jacket? a smoking jacket? something he took from my freshman year wardrobe when I was trying to dress like Prince?

      too bad about the powder as she looks chic and lovely outside of that mistake.

    • Carrie says:

      At least Smelly Brad wears much better makeup than Angelina. You go gurl.

  3. akivasha says:

    makes me sad to see her look like this, she would have been flawless again if not for that makeup :(.

  4. Eve says:

    Man, I love her…seriously: I. LOVE. HER. But I’m giggling like crazy now because of that makeup fail.

    P.S.: Her boobs look really good in the second picture (in all of them, actually).

    • mimif says:

      So she likes to roll around in flour once in a while, big deal. Everyone has their thing. 😉
      Ditto on the bewbs.

      • Kiddo says:

        Some like “I can’t believe it’s not butter”.

      • It does look like that, doesn’t it? And seriously–why do makeup artists keep having this issue? They’re paid to blend some f-cking powder on a pale, white woman’s face–not THAT hard. I wonder if celebs even notice. I guess not since a ton of them seem to be going on the rc looking like they played Scarface for the day.

      • Kiddo says:

        Maybe some of it was done in the car, in the dark?

  5. Allie says:

    So embarrassing. We’ve seen this before, so not sure why make up artists are still having this problem.

    • gg says:

      It’s the shimmery stuff they put in it. Fish scales or whatever they use. Backfires every time.

  6. Soulange says:

    I swear its like Brad applied it all wrong. maybe she let the girls have a go.
    My girl..she can afford it..

  7. truthSF says:

    Did the makeup ppl not learn from the previous fail? I know they saw the pictures with the powder on her knees and legs.

  8. capepopsie says:

    Couldn´t Brad have told her? Surely he must have seen it? Then she could tell him that he forgot to put his shirt on. Just saying. 😉

    • Ha! Good one. Actually, I think that the fail is only visible in photographs, so he wouldn’t have known. It’s one of those things that is activated by flashes and artificial lighting.

  9. Dani2 says:

    I laughed but yeah, this is a rookie mistake, that make up artist needs to her his/her sh-t together.

  10. Aurie says:

    By the way, that third picture shows her nose looking the same as before. I saw this great photo yesterday, where somebody compiled like 60 photos of her, which really sets the record straight on her plastic surgery/nose job rumors:

    http://postimg.org/image/jg0iga8u9/

    • Karen says:

      Wow lol a few of those pics of her are very unflattering, but yeah the nose looks the same.

    • TheOriginalKitten says:

      I never thought she had a nose job myself. I think it’s just a matter of angles, lighting, and makeup, along with a maturing face.

      *shrugs*

      • Yeah–at first I thought she did, because I thought that her nose was a bit wider and ‘fuller’ when she was young—compared to her nose being thinner now. But after looking at those pictures–I think it’s a case of her face getting thinner and losing the fat, and then it off balancing her nose a bit.

        But I always thought that if she ever had anything done, it was a nose job. But I always never really saw her as someone who would be intimidated by someone to even get a nose job (seriously, I could’ve had Princess Vespa’s orig. nose, and if someone told me I should get a nose job, I’d have kicked them in the balls–male or female), or to even want one.

      • TheOriginalKitten says:

        I also just don’t think she’s the type to get plastic surgery–I mean reconstructive, yes, but she doesn’t strike me as the type of person to be overly-critical of her appearance. I could be wrong..just my opinion.

      • That’s what I’ve always thought Kitten. Like even if she didn’t like her nose, I never really thought she was the type to go out and ‘fix’ it…..I noticed that she never really talks about her looks or her body–I think the last time was when she was pregnant..she liked her weight gain. But that’s a relief against all of the actresses..cougJessicaBielcough….who seem to think that their beauty is a problem when it comes to getting roles. I certainly don’t think Angelina is the best actress of all time–but she has done very well for herself. Especially when she was young. She could’ve just been eye candy forever, but she took a different path. I like that.

      • TheOriginalKitten says:

        “I never really thought she was the type to go out and ‘fix’ it…..I noticed that she never really talks about her looks or her body”

        Oh I know! I wonder if she tell them not to ask her about her appearance before she gets interviewed, because the only time I can recall her talking about her looks was when she once said that there are days she thinks she looks like a “muppet”. I’ll see if I can dredge up the quote. But yeah, I have a feeling that she doesn’t like her looks to be a focus.

        Here it is: “I am odd-looking. I sometimes think I look like a funny muppet.”

        http://www.nowmagazine.co.uk/celebrity-news/244822/angelina-jolie-i-look-like-a-muppet

        Wish I looked like a funny muppet….

      • TheOriginalKitten says:

        I won’t kill you because you’re French (and so am I) but I strongly disagree 😉

      • crab says:

        Your lips thin out with age so I doubt she had a lip reduction but I think she definately had her nose done!

  11. Rice says:

    This is all kinds of horrible. The artist missed a crucial foundation class in makeup school.

  12. claire says:

    LOL

    yeah especially because this is only seen in photographs. Anyway, she looks stuning.

  13. Dani says:

    She’s so…frail looking.

  14. Ellen says:

    In fairness, it’s happening because the powder goes reflective under camera lights/flash. They can’t see it when they apply it, and apparently they’re not pulling out a camera flash to test, first, either.

    You’d think they could just point a camera phone flash in her direction to check this stuff, right?

    • Christin says:

      That’s my question as well —- why can’t the makeup artist do a photo or two with a flash? Maybe it only shows up with multiple flashes going off and they can’t tell?

      • Ennie says:

        I think it is the VERY powerful flashes of some brands, not every simple flash. they should test them anyway before, I bet they can figure it out. It had never happened to her before, so they can see what is the problem.

    • Oh, that makes sense. Because I’m wondering why no celeb ever seems to try and rub the powder away…..okay……

    • Peppa says:

      Her make up artist should have done that. I’m betting they do a flash test from now on for the rest of her Maleficent promotion!

  15. TG says:

    Only Angelina could still look beautiful with flour all over her face. I have never been Ito Brad and this photo of his chin is reminding me why.

    • Intro Outro says:

      Lol I must admit his chin looks almost unnatural in these pics and my eyes just keep returning to it. This pear shape.. Has it always been like that?? Maybe I haven’t noticed it, maybe it’s the unfortunate lighting angle here.

      Angelina look gorgeous, powder fail or no powder fail.

  16. Eve says:

    My favourite celebrity makeup fail remains being Salma Hayek’s fake eyelash malfunction (it was in Cannes, can’t remember the year).

  17. lisa2 says:

    I hate Brad jacket.. but hardly would call it disgusting.

    the make up thing is nuts. This is a recent thing. In some pics you can’t see it at all. Outside of that she looks great. The dress fits her perfectly. I don’t know why people still talk about sack dresses. She has been wearing very form fitting cloths for over a year. I like the shoes too.

    anyway looking forward to the MIR GALA this weekend. hopefully there will be some pics of them in NOLA walking around and at the event..

  18. MsMercury says:

    HD makeup is the kind of makeup that looks great but you don’t notice the mistakes until the camera picks them up. (I think or have heard)

    She needs a new makeup artist but she really needs a new stylist as well. I know she has her own style that isn’t going to change lol but I’ve seen her in this black so many times before.

  19. Miffy says:

    Red carpet makeup fails make me criiiiinge!!!

    You’d die knowing that you went around a whole night thinking you were lovely and then seeing the photos on facebook the next day with lipstick on your teeth! This is that situation on crack and steroids.

    Plus does her makeup artist just slap on her foundation? It looks like honest to goodness finger smears on there. I hope they’re fired.

    • BNA FAN says:

      The powder cannot be seen by the naked eyes, that’s why no one noticed it. The HD powder is for certain camera.

      Anyway there is some news for Brad and Angelina’s real fans. Over at JJ there is a video on page 9, #222 of Angie saying: “I have a great HUSBAND IN BRAD” @1:12 they might have gotten married already.

    • Miffy says:

      I am aware that it can’t be seen by the naked eye, thank you. I would seriously hope no one could see that before allowing her near a wall of cameras.

  20. lower-case deb says:

    wow! did she change make up artists?
    never seen this fail before this year.
    or perhaps same make up artist but (1) trying a new unfamiliar product, or (2) secretly hates her, or….

  21. Green Is Good says:

    Awww! Look how protective Pax is of Shiloh! Adorable.

    • doofus says:

      hahaha…and I was thinking “he looks like he’s about to bust a wrestling move on her, in typical brother fashion.”

      those kids are cuties…all of them.

    • epiphany says:

      I know nothing about HD makeup, but the way those kids look out for each other is adorable and touching. Whatever the deal is between Brad and Angie, those kids will remain a tight-knit bunch.

    • ctkat1 says:

      It reminds me of all the pictures where Angelina has a grip on Shiloh- I think she can be a bit of a runner.

  22. Allie says:

    Ugh. Brads outfit, his hair, his glasses…they’re giving me douchebumps. This look is terrible.

    • Lizzy1013 says:

      Douchebumps? Bahahaha!!! My new favorite word!! I’m totally stealing that…. When a guy is a combo of douche and creepy. Love it!

  23. ShakenNotStirred says:

    Brad just doesn’t give a damn any more.

  24. Mayamae says:

    I think it’s interesting that her makeup artist seemed to apply makeup the heaviest on her jaw as if to contour. I love her square jaw. – let it be.

    Shiloh is almost as tall as Pax!

  25. Lucy says:

    The makeup issue is indeed unfortunate, but is it wrong that I don’t think it’s the end of the world or anything…? Haha I mean, it happens to every actress (and many actors, as well). They both looked good, though.

  26. GeeMoney says:

    Whoa. Are we sure that Shiloh didn’t throw a bag of flour at her before she left the house?!?!? A rare beauty miss for Angie, indeed.

  27. jc126 says:

    Shiloh seems to have her mother’s mouth, and her father’s eyes.

  28. K.B. says:

    Good Lord. I can’t figure out how to do a smokey eye correctly, and even I can apply powder. Makeup artists who pull this stunt should be publicly shamed and banned from ever applying makeup on other people for the rest of their lives.

    • kay says:

      Oh my God!!,I’m laughing so hard because of this comment and I don’t know why,maybe it’s the ” publicly shamed”part.

      Anyways, poor Angie(never thought I would say that),I feel bad for her because this would have been one of her best red carpet looks in a while but that makeup(makeup artist? )decided to destroy everything. Pls could someone take Brad away from her side?he’s only making matters worse.

  29. Joh says:

    Brad looks like his face has been lifted.

  30. John says:

    She’s getting back to scary-skinny, and her jaw looks like Bethenny Frankel’s and Tracy Anderson’s :/

  31. tmbg says:

    I hate that powder. It’s messy and you’d better not get your photo taken if you’re wearing it.

    It reminds me of a concealer I wore that looked fine in person, but when someone took my photograph, I had white streaks on my face. I think it had to do with the fact that it had sunscreen in it.

    She still looks great though.

  32. Mitch Buchanan Rocks! says:

    Doesn’t Brangelina have a French staff on staff at all times – she was probably eating some fancy pastry most of us could only dream of, with hand ground organic icing sugar imported from the Loire valley, then had to rush away from the delectable treat.

  33. Jayna says:

    It was on her chest and her forehead and the side of her face. How embarrassing. I’ve never seen it this bad on anyone before.

  34. HoustonGrl says:

    I think it’s kind of cute, it makes her human. If I had my makeup exposed under that lighting, I don’t even know. It would be bad.

    On that note, what is HD makeup?

    • K.B. says:

      It’s makeup that’s supposed to make the skin look flawless when photographed/filmed in HD. I don’t know how it actually differs from normal makeup (does the higher resolution make non-HD makeup look cakey?), though.

  35. Mrs Odie says:

    I laughed out loud at this. It’s hilarious! It’s on her hand too. She looks like she just left Club 54 and forgot to wipe the coke off.

    • Sal says:

      Its not that hilarious unless you’re 7 years old. I’ve seen worse. As they say, small things amuse small minds.
      Edit: Whatever you reckon Cecilia. I wasn’t commenting on her joke, rather on what she finds hilarious. I timed when you’d comment. 1 minute earlier than I thought. Nothing if not predictable.

      • Cecilia says:

        No need to insult Mrs Odie…she was just making a joke.

      • doofus says:

        some folks really need to lighten up…laughing is good for the soul.

        there are a lot of posters here, including HUGE superfans of hers, who are also giggling and think it’s funny.

        I don’t claim to know Jolie like some of the posters here do, but I’d like to think that she’d see these pictures and even SHE would laugh.

      • Just Passing Through says:

        BALLS.

      • lucy2 says:

        I don’t care who loves and hates which celebrities, but I don’t think this is the type of site where people should insult other posters like that. It’s supposed to be light-hearted and fun escapism.

      • TheOriginalKitten says:

        Oh Balls!

    • She’s putting her bid in for a remake of a female centric ‘Scarface’…..she just forgot to put it up her nose 😉

      • Cecilia says:

        My hair!!

        He shot my hair!

      • Mrs Odie says:

        Thanks, Cecilia. I realize some people have no sense of humor where Angie is concerned.

        Brad looks different. Did he have something done to his face? I met him when he worked on my dad’s show 22 years ago, and he had terrible pock-marked skin they covered up with heavy make-up (he was very sweet). I know he’s had lots of chemical peels over the years to fix his skin, but something looks off. It’s good work, and it’s subtle, but it’s noticeable to me.

      • @doofus
        Forgot about that one–I need to watch spaceballs again…freaking hilarious. I thought I did all right with the Scarface reference.

        @Mrs. Odie
        Did your dad produce???? Or write? That’s cool.

    I’ve seem that in pictures of Nicole Kidman and other stars, and wondered why they OR their makeup person didn’t notice it. And do they really use white powder? Why not flesh colored?

  37. Maggie says:

    Brad looks like a sleezy pimp. I don’t find him attractive at all.

  38. Ami says:

    How come the love of her life didn’t notice all the powder on her face. Doesn’t he look at her??? Or maybe he only looks at himself in the mirror these days lol

    • Carrie says:

      Because you can’t see HD powder under normal lighting, if its not blended right it flashes black white in photographs but isn’t visible otherwise.

  39. Mean Hannah says:

    It’s a combination if heavy handed application and sudden sweating, and it could happen with non HD and/or white powder.

    It would be helped by a light application but not much. It’d still be visible and high intensity flash light bulbs would magnify it.

    I see this with normal women, even without flash lights. Usually, they are menopausal, elderly, or in my case, when I get hot flashes sometimes during migraines. Sweat gets absorbed by the powder and when the hot flash is over and my body cools down, I’m left with dry, powdery face – it’s like the powder got baked on – and I can’t blend it away.

  40. Kim1 says:

    Maybe one day people will stop the adopted vs biological labels.
    As for HD makeup it is pretty much invisible to the naked eye and HD cameras.
    Brad and Angie look fine and I can’t wait to the film.As for her being skinny better skinny than to be scary fat.JMO

  41. MP says:

    She should try Mally’s Poreless Face Defender. That stuff is great.

    Tiny powdered balls

    Na-ah. This is a mess and miss. Is he wearing that jacket inside out?

    I predict they recover……

  44. Tatjana says:

    I think this is frinckin hilarious.

  45. Isan says:

    Ok, I’m no make up artist, but after seeing the pictures it’s strange that the white blemish only appears on certain parts of her face and body. I see the white stuff on her hands, her chest and shoulder. Why is the powder not applied all over her face? At least then her whole face would have been white. This can’t be just the flash, but the fact that the make up artist only retouched certain parts.
    I think is the same that happened to me years ago when I was still applying make up under my eyes to conceal circles, it would always become white in pictures and it made it look even more obvious.
    My point is, this has to be known for years so I think either this product is not applied well or should only be used when you can still retouch the pictures, not for a red carpet event.
    Again no expert, just a humble attempt to find an answer to this mystery.

    • To me it looks like she was trying to contour/highlight areas of her face to sculpt it but perhaps didn’t blend it well enough.

      • WTFava says:

        Oh get real. Jolie knows and cares as much about makeup as Shiloh. Angie is the definition of low maintenance. I believe she can use an eyebrow pencil and lipstick and that’s about it. She had never before appeared with makeup forever hd powder all over herself, so why on earth would you think she herself is contouring and highlighting with it? Makes more sense she let someone make her up and didn’t know what the eff they were dusting her with.

    • K.B. says:

      When you apply powder, the heaviest application is wherever you apply it first. The makeup artist probably started at Angelina’s jaw line (also why it fell onto her chest and shoulders) and worked her way around the perimeter of the face (to contour, as Tentacle Kitten mentioned).

  46. lucy2 says:

    After a bunch of celebrities had this problem a while ago (I’m mostly remembering Nicole Kidman) I’m amazed that makeup artists are still sending their clients out onto the red carpet without doing a flash test first or something.
    Her eye makeup always looks good though.

  47. mfmaefh says:

    I feel sorry for her

  48. heigl says:

    you all simply don’t understand her ARTPOP

  49. Rachel says:

    Eh- the problem is she is addicted to all the skin tightening treatments– chemical peels and laser treatments. That is why she is ridiculously shiny most of the time. I guess they tried to tone down the shine with disastrous results. I wish she would chill and try not to fight aging that hard. She is still beautiful but is getting too tight and tweaked…

  50. OriginalCrystal says:

    Awww Angelina is such a good wife. She put flour all over her face to take attention away from Brad’s terrible jacket. She’s such a queen. Love her.

  51. zut alors! says:

    Poor thing….how dreadful.

    Maybe Jen can help a sister out and send Angelina some Aveeno Positively Radiant moisturizer so she won’t need to mess with the HD powder. Her hair and makeup team has dropped the ball on her last 2 appearances.

    Knowing Angelina, she’ll be stepping out with Vivienne and Knox to deflect from this latest snafu any moment now. I love the woman but I’m not blind to her antics.

    • Kim1 says:

      Maybe Jen can have that baby she claims she has wanted for fifteen years.
      Maybe Jen can direct the film she said she wanted to direct years ago.
      Maybe Jen can travel to India or other places she claimed she wanted to travel to years ago.
      Maybe Jen can do more than just talk.
      Just Do It

        BALLS

      • Ennie says:

        Maybe you could have called balls to Zut alors, but they are thrown to the one responding her…
        I do not see the need to name JA in here, but whaevs…

      • Kim1 says:

        I should have just mentioned all the candid shots of JA with blotchy skin leaving her regular skin treatment center.She loves her Laser Porn.#homely

      • zut alors! says:

        O for the love of makeup disasters. It was a tongue in cheek comment….nothing more serious than that. Bloody hell!

      • Stephanie says:

        Poor Kim1/Andrea1 can’t take a joke…Lighten up for christ sake.

      • Stephanie says:

        This thread is not about Aniston!!Cannot you not go one damn post with out mentioning her?You are obsessed!lol

    • June says:

      It was poor make up, not a DUI. She does not need to do any pr rehab. It is not the end of the world.

      • zut alors! says:

        There are pics of her out today shopping at a toy store with all the kids sans Maddox….right on cue. Like I said, I maybe an Angeloonie but I call as I see it.

      • lisa2 says:

        OH I see.. because make gone wrong is so tragic that they have to rush to make it all better.

        My goodness. do you know how much stuff has been posted about them over the years and they have not responded in any way shape or form.

        The kids were see the day before the make up thing. So I guess she was doing forward planning.

        I’m more interesting in the video interview and her referring to Brad as HUSBAND..

        now that I want to know more about.

    • gennline says:

      @ zut alors!
      Yeah because if you have a make up mishap(that you or the people around you don’t know about), you should let it rule your life and the life of your children.
      So keep those children indoors, don’t take them out for treats.
      How long should AJ stay hidden for?
      How long do you stay hidden at home when you have a make up mishap?

      • zut alors! says:

        Dang! Why are y’all so touchy? I get the sense that while Angelina likes to give off this air of not caring about her image, she does care very much indeed. Last night’s makeup mishap turned her in to an internet wide cautionary tale and fashion don’t. I’m sure with the Maleficent promotion underway, she does not want any criticism flowing her way.

        I can think of a few instances where Angie trotted out the kids to deflect from negative attention.

        2007 – Angie got criticized for muzzling the press during the press junket for A Mighty Heart – out came Shiloh and Maddox for a trip to Lee’s Art Shop. Sightings of Shiloh were rare at this time.
        2008- The Sun releases video of Angie in a drug den – out come Shiloh and Maddox again. This time to a clothing store in Cannes in full view of photographers.
        2012 – the leg debacle – Knox, Vivienne and Grandma Pitt tag along on a shopping trip.

        Since you asked, my makeup is perfect….EVERY single time. And I don’t even have a makeup artist to do it for me.

  52. Linda says:

    hahahahahahaha!!! OMG this is the greatest!!!!

    • hmmm says:

      Actually that was my reaction as well. I don’t know why, but it’s like seeing someone slip on a banana peel- hits some perverse funny bone. So….bwahahahahaha!

  53. MrsBPitt says:

    Shiloh is the perfect blend of Angelina and Brad…she is gorgeous!

  54. Mel says:

    Does that child ever smile?
    She looks annoyingly blasee – and not just on this photo.

    I don’t really “follow” the Pitt-Jolie family, but I don’t remember a single photo where their children, especially their biological children, were really smiling.

    BTW, I am not implying anything by this observation.
    It is simply that: an observation.

  55. Camille (The Original) says:

    Well apart from the major makeup fail she looks beautiful as always. Love the simple dress and shoes.

  56. LadyS says:

    Somebody just lost a client!

  57. Rascalito says:

    It looks like she was hanging out at Zac Efron’s house! Oooooh zing! Too soon? 😛

  59. Liz says:

    Apart from the make-up error she looks so frail. Her jaw looks weird. Brad’s funny looking attire should be the other big story. He needs direct the dermatologist to use a lighter touch with the fat injections.

    • WTFava says:

      Her jaw looks weird? Maybe because she had hd powder all over it? Just a guess. Other than that her beautiful bone structure is beautiful, as usual. Then again my idea of “weird” is maniston’s low forehead, 4 time rhinoplastied nose, beady eyes, juvadermed cheeks and huge old man floppy lobed ears that sit on her neck. What can I say?

  60. Mew says:

    Sun screen is one thing that creates flash effect. Certain kind of foundations do it too. The safest way is to test it before the event – face full of makeup and take your own photo to see how it looks like. No surprises.

  61. Nene says:

    Love her little black strapless dress.

    I think the lolipop body type doesn’t look good with age cos they tend to lose fat as the person gets older. Their limbs being the slimest part of their body bears the brunt of this inevitable change. If they gain weight it’s mostly in their mid-section and upper arms,even at their slimest these parts of their body never get thin.
    A.Jolie is a perfect example.

  62. NYC_girl says:

    This is late, but I walked past the kids just as they were getting into the car in one of those photos on Monday! They were leaving Lee’s, a huge art supply/toy store. I didn’t recognize them until I saw the paps taking pics. I am still jealous of her fab hair!!

  63. GByeGirl says:

    This is a mistake by such a rookie MUA. A lot of us peasants and newbie make up artists think of products like Make Up Forever or MAC as professional makeup. Real makeup artists who have been in the biz for a while use makeup meant for the camera. Graftobian, Ben Nye, and others have HD products that aren’t as reactive to flash photos. They also know that you are supposed to blend, blend and then when you’ve blended enough…you blend some more. Plus, they use a little hairdresser’s cape to prevent makeup fallout.

    These aren’t the techniques taught by typical aesthetician schools, cosmetology schools, or by Youtube gurus (except for Wayne Goss–he’s a genius).
