MAKEUP OR MADE UP?

Blake Lively has spoken out after fans mistook a set of images from behind the scenes of her new movie The Rhythm Section for before and after shots from a makeup session.

Blake shared snaps of her changing appearance in the flick online but, speaking on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, she revealed fans misunderstood the point of the images — which she found “very offensive”

“(The makeup artist) did this really rough look, because my (character’s) family has experienced a lot of tragedy,” she explained. “And then this after I clean up but when I posted it, people were saying, ‘Wow, Blake bravely shows what she looks like before and after makeup.’

“Some people think that’s what I look like without makeup (pointing at the after picture), which I find very offensive because that takes an hour for her to make me look like that.”

She added: “I’m sort of vacillating between my vanity, which is like wanting to be like, ‘I don’t actually look like that! But also being a feminist and being like, ‘Why do we expect women to wake up looking like this? This isn’t realistic that you wake up this beautiful!’ But I would like people to believe that I wake up looking this beautiful.”
