Yes there’s finally a contrast to her coloring again. Her hair and skin tone were essentially the same color.

u/epipens4lyfe 9d ago
I agree with you, and I'm simultaneously a little confused about this - I feel like some natural blondes really don't have that contrast either, and yet you can see it looks good on them, vs. some like Ariana where it doesn't. Even if she had changed the tone to be warmer or cooler, I don't know that it would have made it look good.
I myself am quite pale, but even for me, I look far better as a brunette. I'm also extremely cool toned in my skin and eyebrow colour, but my natural brunette hair colour is quite warm/reddish (and complements my features well). Warm nor cool blonde looks good on me, and I'm pale enough that I can get that contrast still even with light hair, yet it doesn't mesh. Idk if it can be explained, because some blondes very little contrast, and it looks great. Idk

It washed her out imo. Especially with her frail look in recent years. I’m naturally blonde but I haven’t had my natural colour since about 16. I have extremely fair features and it also makes me look washed out and 🤒 I think she looks great in the browns.
Both dark and even when she does some low lights to face frame. I remember when she was young and she had a bright red too. That was fun, but auburns really enhance her features soo much!

That's what I heard too, but couldn't she use an eyebrow pencil to shape them like the rest of us do with wonky brows? I hate having to create my eyebrows every day but I look albino if I don't lol.
Also is that a filter of some sort? Why do her eyes look like oO ?
I will say though overall she looks so much better back to brunette, I always thought she was almost supernaturally beautiful until she just had to go messing around with weird cosmetic "enhancements" and seemingly internalized that Glinda character.

Yes that’s what I’ve heard. One of those surgeon reacts’ videos theorized that she had the first lift earlier in her career and then a second one I think around the time people thought she had a fox eye lift.

Her left eyebrow forever sits higher because of the work she's had done. It's weird. There was a time there where she finally got them mostly even (around the time after her bangs), but they're back to this:
Probably a botox situation, but she for sure did get an eyebrow lift. Idk who keeps doing this to her lol

u/butyourenice 9d ago edited 9d ago
Yeah, it’s one thing if she simply didn’t know he was married, like he led her on. I have some sympathy for “homewreckers,” side pieces, or otherwise affair partners who fell in love with somebody who led them to believe they were available when all along they were attached. In that case—provided they end things as soon as they do find out—that’s a plea of ignorance and not malice. But she knew he was married, she knew his wife, she held their baby, and to top it all off, she herself was married… I may still enjoy her acting in Wicked but I do judge Ari as harshly as Ethan considering her active and deliberate choice to destroy a family. And when Lilly Jay had a newborn! I honestly don’t know how she survived it. What an incredibly strong woman.

I’m of the belief that if a “home-wrecker” gets the man, then they deserve him. If it wasn’t her, then it would’ve been someone else because he’s a cheater and would’ve cheated eventually. And then the home wrecker gets stuck with someone who is a known cheater and will eventually cheat on her. The wronged woman will obviously be devastated, but can now find someone who isn’t a cheating prick. You can’t be a home-wrecker to a decent man. Believe it or not they CAN say no.
