Priya's Make-Up and the Make-Up Team

I have a real bone to pick with the make-up team and it is the whole reason I quit watching the first season. The character Priya is meant to be a plain Jane and does not care for make-up, but seriously, what is it with the make-up team that they have not bothered to change the character's make-up from the day-to-day to an evening style make-up. Even on the engagement not only did she show up in what looked like "ghar ka kapada" but she also did not look any different when they applied the make-up on her.

While they did have her wear a more dressy outfit at the Sangeet, it would have been important for the characters to note it and bring it up hence the reason they got her an outfit to wear. But seriously, she ges an outfit and she fails to get her make-up and hair done? Will she be wearing her nightdress and look like she rolled out of bed on her wedding day and everyone is going to think, WOW she looks gorgeous when she looks like she does everyday?

Life is full of many Plain Jane's but on the day of a marriage they wear make-up. Make-up is not just about putting lipstick but a whole facial transformation. Now I am not suggesting that we make her look like a Drag Queen but goodness, get out the make-up. It looks entirely unbelievable when Ram was looking at her and pretending to see a transformation.

Plus don't forget the hair.

It is such a pet peeve of mine.

I did note that the make -up team did work on the mother and the other characters but completely overlooked Priya and the younger sister.

She looks so pretty & simple i love it to be that way only

Priya as a character is diffrrent she is simple & totally not into make up stuff she hates it,even getting her make up completed is done by her sisters only. You can't force a person who hates make up thus she always puts on the simple way & i just love that touch

Engagement & Sangeet though minimum make up but she looks extremely beautiful & classy

She’s doesn’t need make-up. She looks pretty and btw there are girls who don’t like wearing makeup at all, come what may. She looks pretty as hell and if you can’t make peace with it please start watching shows like SNS where ppl wear 10 kgs of pancakes. If that’s your justification of wearing makeup, you failed BADLY! Get some valuable arguments to really discuss about else stop ranting and spamming this forum.

I understand you like her character without make-up and that's understandable. Nevertheless on certain events, even those individuals who do not like to wear make-up wear on special occasions. If you had read the post you would have noted that I am not proposing what you are suggesting. Also, we all have the right to post our views on a show and there will be views and observations that are valid with which you will not like. *edited by section DT*

If you note, the day-to-day make-up and make-up at the other events is identical. No change has been made. You can go simple but you have to make a distinction in the make-up as day and evening. That's what is happening - no-one is saying make her look over done but make a distinction in the two.

I think that's intentional. Priya is shown to be very simple who doesn't give a damn about fashion, make-up, looks etc. Had she not got Sangeet clothes from Vrinda, she would have worn something very simple there too.

Moreover she received only designer clothes from Vrinda, ready wo apne aap hi hui thi so no chance of extravagant makeup, jewellery or hairstyle

Simple dressing & no-makeup look is a choice, just as dressing stylishly or wearing makeup is also a personal choice. Why do we associate the former with a pure heart or good person? Even a villain can prefer simple dress or barefaced look. It is not a virtue or vice, it is simply a preference.

It is only in ITV that they use a simple look to symbolise goodness of character. Typically the vamp is given elaborate dress & makeup which subconsciouly associates a preference to dressup with bad character.

Shelly, sorry I have to interfere because we don’t want rudeness here - u are free to disagree & present your own pov but u must respect others’ views when they differ from yours. If someone expresses a pov different from yours that becomes ranting or spamming?

Others on the forum, do u support this rude overreaction & namecalling???

Well some or even most Plain Jane's would wear make up on their wedding but Priya need not be one of them. She doesn't even consider this a proper wedding so can you blame her for not being too enthusiastic about it and dressing up for it? I believe everyone should wear whatever makes them feel the best on their wedding day and not what others want them to or what most people do. I mean who are others to judge what is too simple and what is too loud?

And as to differentiation between day and evening make up.. I am positive that Priya herself does not know the difference so for her make up to look the same is fine.

Coming to make up is about a whole facial transformation.. I disagree. Make up is how much people want to do. Some like simple makeup to enhace their features, some like full glam, some like a lot of makeup but with a nude look and so on. There is no correct amount of make up. Even a lipstick and some eyeshadow/eyeliner counts.

But after saying all of this I do want to highlight that the show is too focussed on exaggerating certain traits in characters instead of making them a bit more believable. Examples are Ram's constant eating, overt niceness, Sandy's gossip, Priya being rude and a lot more. In this case however, I feel like it makes sense for someone like Priya, who doesn't believe in marriage and definitely doesn't consider this one a real one, to not wear any make-up even though I would love to see her all dressed up once in the show.

I think she looked fine make up wise as she is a character don't like lipstick or anything. But I felt may be they could have done something with hair...maybe stylish side sweep design or some braids with open hair. Idk I have zero knowledge of fashion😆

No-Madeup, is the reason why Priya looks absolutely gorgeous on the screen. Her looks are going really well with the track.

Team Balh2 is purposefully given that look and I am enjoying that.

They can work on her look but make up part I am fine with it.
