That's not the same colour as the rest of her face ?
And lay off the eyeliner ?

She is soooo pretty but her makeup is terrible

it's the 60s look, I quite like it, although the invisible lips look on me does not work (similar age to her) I need some definition.
I have a less extreme version of her.. liquid eyeliner, def nothing smudgy, worn all round or just underneath, and long fringe. but nude lips, no

Winkleman?

Whenever I see her I always think she could do with a good scrub. Wash her face, clean off the makeup and brush her fringe to one side.

But then I expect her makeup is done for her. Maybe she pissed off the makeup artist?

Why does it matter?

AdalindSchade · 15/10/2017 19:16

She's really beautiful under all the makeup but she wears far too much and the lipstick is pretty bad.

Tilapia · 15/10/2017 19:17

It wouldn’t be my style but I think it suits her quirky personality.

Very sixties, but the other one looks rougher with the red circle round her mouth . Lucy Worsley does it too, it adds a decade to any face and looks a joke.

Callamia · 15/10/2017 19:31

No. She's entirely perfect as she is.
(I super love her, she can do no wrong for me).

She knows it looks slightly ridiculous but she doesn't care and good for her.

Alittlepotofrosie · 15/10/2017 19:33

Nobody needs to wear make up. It's her face she can do what she wants.

IHaveBrilloHair · 15/10/2017 19:34

I love her dress but would have teamed it with chunky ankle boots.
She's gorgeous though, whatever she wears.

ILoveMillhousesDad · 15/10/2017 19:34

I love Claudia.

The way she has her make-up is her 'thing' innit.

She is very self-deprecating about it.

WeShouldOpenABar · 15/10/2017 19:37

She does what she wants, as she should

stopfuckingshoutingatme · 15/10/2017 19:39

I love that old pic of her - such a beck back in the days Grin

Luncharmstrong · 15/10/2017 19:40

Yup , her face , 60s look, doesn't matter etc
But it's a terrible waste of a lovely face .

Good grief. I am no feminist, but are we really judging a woman by her make-up (or lack of it) in 2017?

Alittlepotofrosie · 15/10/2017 19:42

"Waste of a lovely face"

I have no words.

hidinginthenightgarden · 15/10/2017 19:42

What is with threads mocking CW this weekend? Leave the poor woman alone!

BarbaraOcumbungles · 15/10/2017 19:44

Waste of a lovely face? What a fucking vile thing to say.

It's her face, she can do what she likes with it!

GherkinSnatch · 15/10/2017 19:45

She's fine as she is.

NatMatCat · 15/10/2017 19:47

She's quite open about knowing it's an odd look but she likes it. She likes being orange, fringe in eyes and all the rest. I couldn't say why but it's entirely up to her.

ewen1234 · 15/10/2017 19:47

Its just her look...Some women grow old and never really change their style...Eg. Lorraine Chase has never changed her look. Jackie Collins before she died never looked any different, and many more are just the same. I think in 10 years time Claudia will just look the same. The only thing for me is that sometimes she looks as though she is struggling to see out of her fringe and I would love to reach into the TV and push it out of the way!!LOL!! XX

bridgetreilly · 15/10/2017 19:48

It's her look and it suits her. I'm another who thinks she can do no wrong, tbh. I love her.

DagenhamRoundhouse · 15/10/2017 19:49

You need very white teeth to get away with beige lipstick!

SuffolkBumkin · 15/10/2017 19:50

Wow, I barely recognised her! Still very beautiful blond or brunette

To think Claudia needs to wear a lipstick ...
Mummyoflittledragon · 15/10/2017 19:50

the other one Hmm

I think Claudia and Tess are great. The main thing about Claudia is I wish she'd cut a bit off her fringe so we can actually see her eyes. It's a little shorter this year but still.... and yes, her makeup doesn't do her justice. I think the hair would be less of a problem if her eyeliner were a little thinner as it just blends her eyes into her hair.
