Discuss The Walking Dead

I apologize in advance if this has already been brought up, but I only just watched ep 14, didn't want to see possible spoilers. Uh...HOLY SHIT! Did they just stop putting makeup on Maggie altogether? I know the bad haircut was "her idea" but yikes. I feel like I say this with a tiny bit of knowledge-I went to school at the MakeUp Designory in LA for tv and film makeup. Granted, I was 18, it was 2001, and I didn't pursue it as a career. And it was basically cake makeup then, airbrushing was super new so relevant/irrelevant, I don't really care. Regardless of MY history, Maggie looks like SHIT. Her face literally looks devoid of any and all makeup although free of additional "age" lines. I know she has been through hell this season but this episode was hands down the worst I've seen her. Just wow. Anyway, what do you guys think?

Magpie's Matt Damonian complexion is a categorical turnoff for me. Ew. Do you think she has gnarly tit moles like that hideous Beth chick? Ick!

That's cool about your sister, that's a great school. I went to MUD in Burbank. I didn't learn airbrushing as it was relatively new when I was in school, though I would have loved to. I was trying to kind of say I've been out of the loop so long (almost 20 years ago, which blows me away) that what I know is likely irrelevant. Especially since the field is being constantly updated. I feel like what I know gives me a slightly better idea than the average person, but mostly, it's just enough to know I know nothing. I was very young but more importantly couldn't stand LA or "the industry" so I cut my losses and actually ended up going to college, something I didn't think I had any interest in. But that is all TMI, I'm sure.

IMO Maggie just looked...rough. The lines in her forehead were exaggerated but not to the point they looked enhanced and SUPER shiny skin. Skin that shiny on camera is (to the best of my knowledge) usually means the face is clean or hasn't been adequately powdered. So yeah, to me, she actually looked like she just got skipped during the round up.

I think my brain was just more preoccupied visually than logically because I'm having so much trouble staying focused while I watch, although that's the only episode that really caught my attention. Also, Shredder's post didn't seem rude to me, just concise. But thank you for being nice enough to rephrase, I'm astounded at the civility after so many years of IMDb abuse!

HA ! Yeah I'm doing my best to not be a total a-hole on the web. Back when I started using IMDb, around 2005, I remember you could have an actual discussion or debate about something. I mean, I remember having a civilized conversation regarding firearm control in the US....! No name calling !!! At all !!! Now it seems you can hardly mention something without strangers jumping at your throat and tearing you to shreds... I recently had some death threats on facebook. Anyways, it seems like people are more busy yelling at you than trying to see your point and answer your question... -_-

As for the makeup, I think I know what you are talking about, but my impression was that it was pretty hot and she was working outside a lot so she was shiny from sweating. I think the lines in her face might have been more prominent than usual, but I think she would have "aged" a lot given the recent events.

And your knowledge usually being enough to know that you know nothing... Hahahha ! I totally see where you're coming from there !!
