chedderchester Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 I know they were trying to get used to filming in color but still airing in B&W when season 2 originally aired but Lucy and Viv looked like clowns in the first batch of S2 episodes. I know they were comedy clowns, but who has that much blue eyeshadow and red lipstick on when they first get up in the morning?. lol. This is especially noticeable in Duck Hunting, and Kiddie Parties, Inc. And I think in Cleopatra but I have to watch that one again. It's funny because on some Golden Girls episodes, in the ep where they have the flu, they are all heavily made up. I guess Blanche's "how can I feel bad and still look so good" line is true because you have all that makeup on. And in the last episode, when Dorothy wakes up at the beginning, she has a lot of makeup on. Even on The Nanny, when it was Christmas morning in one episode, she had too much makeup on. Not so much the eyeshadow but a lot of lipstick and blush. But that's Fran, she's always got a lot of makeup on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Older ladies in show biz always had as much make up on as they could, in a search for a more youthful appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucy and Viv's make up is very much like that in season 2 and 3. Vibrant blues and purples were very popular then. I really love it, it is impossible for anyone to pull that off today .

Harrison Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 They didn't look like clowns to me. I thought the blue shadow and the red lipstick looked really good on them. It definitely gave them a more youthful appearance especially with Vivian Vance. It's like night and day when you compare Vivian's Viv to her Ethel.

JoeySanJoaquin Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 I think it was both things: the purple and blue eye shadows were the look then (early 60s) AND they were just starting to film in color and while I'm sure they'd "experimented" with test shots and whatnot, they perhaps had to "tinker" a bit with their respective looks till they got them just right: To look good on film but not overly made up either. Those gals were pioneers, ya know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
