Forgive me if I scream "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO". But that is exactly what the girls from the Today Show did today.
In today's high-def tv world and a self conscious society, this "no makeup" trend seems to be catching on with stars like Jessica Simpson posing on the cover of a magazine without makeup.
But just because its starting to become a trend doesn't mean it will catch on too much. Most women feel naked without a little bit of makeup on while some feel liberated with the thought of not having to wear any.
God Bless ya if you can go au-natural, but to be honest, the thought of going on camera with out makeup terrifies me but I commend the girls from the Today Show for doing it. You could see on some of their faces (Kathie Lee & Hoda) that they were clearly uncomfortable but some of the early morning show were so confident (or they could just not care) Meredith in particular had the attitude of "this is my face, take it or leave it".
What sparked all of this is a few weeks ago, Rosie O'Donnell speculated that Kathie Lee had extensive work done on her face. Kathie Lee, who is friends with Rosie, shot back immediately “Look for scars, baby,” Gifford responded on TODAY. “If you see ’em, then I'll fess up.” Rosie then joined the girls today, sans makeup and apologized for her comments to Kathie.
Makeup artist Mary Kahler to KL&H didn't have much to do today but did note one factor I thought was important:
“Makeup also helps hide the fact that these women don’t get much sleep — they are so busy, not only doing the show but doing so many things afterwards,” Kahler added. “They are constantly on the go and they have to look fresh even though they’re going full-speed ahead every minute.”
Check out all the girls on the Today Show and let us know.....Could you go on live tv without makeup?
