Uma Thurman responds to Botox rumors, claims it was just makeup

Author: | Filed under: Celebrities

I’ve never gotten Botox or fillers, but it seems like it takes a few weeks for injectibles to “wear off,” right? Like, at first your face will look puffy and frozen and slowly, the stuff wears off a little bit and everything sort of “deflates” and you can move your eyebrows and cheeks a little bit. I’m wondering because of the ongoing debate about Uma Thurman’s face.

If you asked me on Tuesday if I was 100% sure that Uma had overdone the Botox and fillers, I would have said “of course she did.” Then on Wednesday, we heard from Uma’s makeup artist, who claimed that Uma’s new look was simply the product of no eye makeup. While I thought he was full of it, I also have to admit that the lack of eye makeup really did throw off the look of her face. Then on Thursday, Uma appeared on the Today Show and she wore eye makeup and her hair is a little bit different, and she looks relatively normal. Did the Botox and fillers wear off quickly? Or was it all a makeup-induced optical illusion?

When asked about the comments about her Botox work, Uma laughed (or tried to laugh through the ‘Tox) and said: “Um, I don’t know. I guess nobody liked my makeup!… I mean, I’ve been doing this for years and years and years. People say things nice…and they say things mean. It’s just, like, whatever! You know, you take the good with the bad.”

So, she’s still sticking with the story that it was just makeup. Which, granted, I’m now saying that the makeup fail was a big part of this. But I paid close attention to how her face moved as she was speaking, and there’s certainly enough evidence to suggest that she has had injectibles. Her forehead is like granite! But the cheeks aren’t quite so puffy in this interview.
