Uma Thurman’s makeup artist claims Uma’s look was just ‘no mascara’

Author: | Filed under: Celebrities

On Monday night, Uma Thurman stepped out on a red carpet in NYC and by Tuesday morning, the internet was ablaze with stories about how Uma had overdone the Botox and fillers – we discussed it yesterday as well, go here to read. Several people pointed out that Uma’s makeup – or lack thereof – was significantly contributing to Uma’s seemingly “new face.” I think it was a combination of no eye makeup plus Botox and fillers. She genuinely looked “frozen” and her cheeks looked utterly unmoving. Well, Uma’s makeup artist was dispatched to People Magazine to give an explanation for Uma’s new look. Troy Surratt says it’s just makeup, obviously.

“Frankly, I’m quite surprised by the conversation,” Tony Surratt tells PEOPLE. “By now I would have thought that we were all open to and knowledgeable of the role that makeup plays in the world of fashion and particularly celebrity, as a medium for creative self expression. I think that women should feel open and free to experiment with different beauty looks — it’s only makeup, at the end of the day it all washes off.”

Surratt calls the look he created on Uma, “effortless Parisienne chic,” focusing on her lips and complexion. (Note: No mascara was used at all!)

“I wanted to give Uma a statement lip balanced by a more feathered brow,” he shares. “Uma and I discussed creating a look that was more editorial with soft natural lashes. As a makeup artist I’ve grown a bit tired of all of the lash-y looks and fake eyelashes that we’ve been seeing on the red carpet for some time now.” By going for bold lips, statement brows and barely-there eye makeup, “the face is sectioned into three equal parts lending a visual balance and allowing the mouth to be the star of the face,” Surratt adds.

There’s more at People Magazine about what makeup he used, but it just read as an advertisement for certain products, so blah. Looking through these photos again, armed with the “it’s just makeup” excuse… I can see why the no-eyemakeup look is throwing off how we see her face, but I’m also pretty sure that Uma recently underwent a major Botox and filler session. It can be BOTH, you know. It can be “different makeup” AND “injectibles.”
