Sara is wearing a bit too much in those pictures IMHO. But it could be far worse. She's still pretty.

As long as it doesn't get too bad, I can appreciate a bit of variety to suit all tastes.

Most, possibly all, of the movies I've got are just fine. But then I haven't got anything from Max Hardcore.

BTW ..I imagine make-up artists are very valued in porn and are subjects of fatasy/desire/inspiration for many porn performers.

The truth is just an excuse for a lack of imagination.

BTW I wonder how this make-up holds in the rain.

Guys complain about mainstream actresses becoming too thin and yet women keep ruining their health. Mary-Kate Olsen Olsen is the latest example of an actress suffering from anorexia. I think that Julia Stiles looked better before she lost so much weight. There are women who have small bone structure who look good when they are thin. I prefer women not to be overweight but I don't want women to look like they are starving to death. I like women with muscle tone but I don't want them to be overly muscular.

There is also much of that 'natural look' that everyone loves that has been nicely enhanced with make-up.

I think that makeup, tastefully done and expertly applied, (either by professional artists, or the girls themselves), is almost always a positive in the entertainment industry. That includes porn.

Yes, there are the fresh-scrubbed, blemish free, naturally gorgeous 18 year olds out there, that can look delectable with no enhancement, but most women, especially as they get older, seem to benefit from a little accentuatation of their natural beauty. Even if it's just an issue of self-confidence or a sense of "feeling prettier", that by itself is worth it.

Sure, anything can be overdone and look horrible, but when done right, hair and makeup can really add to a girl's appeal.

I remember how impressed I was with the look of the girls in "Azz Fest 3" . I had seen all the girls in that flick many times before, but in this production they all were especially well presented, and I attributed it to the care and attention paid to the hair, makeup and lingerie.

Jewel De'Nyle is a good example of how makeup and hair, done well, can make a naturally beautiful woman absolutely shimmer. Her boxcovers are just gorgeous.

well i like make up. i dont want to see a girl looking the same in 50 different scenes. i want her to look different in every one. so make up is important.

it also as a girl makes the worl of difference to doing a scene.

if ive been pampered for half hour before im all nice and relaxed and feel like a million dollars when i walk on set.

Having a competent make-up artist on the set has more effect on the visual quality of the final product than any other aspect of the image chain - and it's not just about covering pimples. Properely applied make-up makes it easier for the camera to do it's job, especially when you have to use a crappy little PD100, DVX100 or similar.

Unfortunately, it's hard to get experienced make up artist to work on porn shoots. The woman I work with (who is very open-minded) did three days on a Hustler shoot and came away saying "Never again." It wasn't just the offputting attitudes about sex, it was the overall lack of professionalism.

it totally depends on the woman and the stylist's work for me

Also scenes that I have loved doing I saw the playback on and I hated em cause my skin was so fucked up from 2 weeks of camera make up,and I'm embaressed for myself for how it looks! I really do have pretty skin now, I want a disclaimer on the DVD!

I thought Jenna Jameson was much more beautiful when she came out. In Up and Cummers , Cherry Pie , and Baby Doll she didn't wear all that vamp-ish make-up. All that mascara distracts. The implants didn't help either, as she was already large up front. Still a looker, but not as beautiful. The image helped sell her though.
