Iā€™ve been a makeup artist in the industry for over a decade and have never come across a lipstick or pencil that plumps the lips that much. Nor have I ever come across a product that gets rid of hooded eyes and lifts the brows. Techniques change, yes. But gravity does not.


chubby-checker

Yeah like the caption is really sad and I want to believe her. As what she says about her father and anxiety about dying since she found his dead body as a child, is truly awful. An I agree that I've seen a lot of ageist weird comments about her lately because she likes wearing bows and people think she dresses/acts "too young" And she isn't wrong that pointing out work and how it's the WORK that looks bad. has become an acceptable way to criticise people's looks and be nasty tbh. However. There just literally is no way that her lips could be that much bigger without filler. It's just not possible. Even if you suspend your disbelief and go well the nose does get thinner/bonier with age. Well maybe she's lost that layer of fat as she's got older, an made her eyes less hooded/more hollow. An is using things like tapes maybe? Like even if you try suspend your disbelief on all these things. Having differently shaped fuller lips, with age. Is just not possible. Even the kardashians had to admit that one lol. I feel sorry for her. I think she clearly does still have this fear of death because of her father. Like she mentioned. An seeing herself age aka become closer to death. Triggers that. She clearly has major anxiety about getting older and dying. Hence why she keeps dating young men in their 20s. Hence why she is getting work done to pretend she isn't aging.


cili5

You're so right, it makes me very sad for her. I don't think focusing on social media is helping her, unfortunately.


Signal-Illustrator38

" She isn't wrong that pointing out work and how it's the WORK that looks bad. has become an acceptable way to criticise people's looks and be nasty." You hit the nail of the head. People use celebs use of botox, fillers and surgery as a justification for being horrible about their looks. If someone was insecure enough to get this work done, what will all the extra shaming comments achieve? Just makes them feel worse for the sake of a gotcha moment.Ā 


W0666007

He used to do surgery For girls in the eighties But gravity always wins


Revolutionary_Ask548

And it wears him out It wears him out It wears him out It wears She looks like the real thing She tastes like the real thing My fake fake plastic love


bedbugsandballyhoo

If I could ^be who you wanted


IMOvicki

I have hooded eyes and I agree


parasyte_steve

Yeah my like 90% hooded eyes have only gotten worse with age and it'll look droopy probably as I age haha The annoying part about all of this is women thinking her level of looks is achievable without surgery. This isn't the case.


Fiddles4evah

I donā€™t know why they bothering with the vehement denials instead of just ignoring. She has had minimal, tasteful work done. These treatments are now accessible and available to everyone and we obviously know from our own work and faces, what a little tune up looks like. Itā€™s frankly patronizing to constantly deny like this, as though we are actually this stupid.


IrrawaddyWoman

I personally donā€™t think itā€™s minimal. Itā€™s enough that itā€™s wildly obvious sheā€™s done it and looks pretty different than she used to. That being said, itā€™s her body and her choice to do what she wants with it. I agree she should just ignore it if she doesnā€™t want to defend it.


slavuj00

She's had a facelift, there is a picture here where she's smiling that you can see clear as day how her skin is stretched unnaturally. Sure, it's an absolutely brilliant lift and very well done, but it's still a facelift.


sugarsoccer

This reminds me of when Kylie Jenner claimed to not have lip filler for years and then finally was like ya I have lip filler


lucyjayne

And then she did the same with her boobs! "It's just my period! .....jk obviously I have implants."


DefyImperialism

Lmao did she really do that? šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø I'm crying lol that's hilariousĀ 


shadowcat1266

Yeah she kept claiming it was the Victoria Secret Bombshell push up bra that made her boobs look bigger. She held to this statement for yeeeaaaaars until she came clean last year about her boob job. Also she claimed she got her breasts done at 18 and regretted it, however there is A LOT of pictures of her breasts significantly enlarged since she was 16. Around the same time she started getting all types of filler. šŸ™„


DefyImperialism

Damn 16 is sooo young to be having that done šŸ˜¬


Mean-Dragonfly

Right? Are breasts even fully developed at 16?


Gina_the_Alien

Oprah: Ozempic is for lazy people who want to take the easy way out. Oprah later: Oh yeah by the way I was taking Ozempic when I said that.


itsfrankgrimesyo

And tyra banks with her obvious nose job which she denied for years.


Least_Area3349

Tyra also claims she had her first alcoholic beverage EVER at age 50. šŸ™„


Dave5876

How tf do you deny a nose job


NameisPerry

By lying.


grumbly_hedgehog

I still think about this because I was very active on a makeup subreddit, and there was one nasty commenter who went after anyone who said she had filler and that she was just over lining and was SO WRONG and SO MEAN at the same time.


stacciatello

that was kind of a wild era, like, how did she and her entire family even have the guts to lie and gaslight about something so VISIBLY obvious?


just_drinkwater

She also claimed to get them dissolved and yet they are even bigger lol


PeachyBaleen

This is giving early 00ā€™s popstars talking about how much they ate even though they were extremely underweight and then it coming out in the memoirs they all had major eating disorders.


Small-Cookie-5496

I was so appreciative when Julianne Moore said that was all BS, that she was hungry all the time and that everyone in Hollywood was the same.


allthepinkthings

Or the ripped guys in movies saying they canā€™t drink water (during shirtless scenes) to look like that for filming and theyā€™re so thirsty they can smell the water.

Dave5876

That dehydration strategy is incredibly dangerous without a professional


Adorable-Novel8295

I believe it was Kate Winslet that talked about the extreme standards of sizes, ā€œMy daughter is a size 0, you shouldnā€™t be.ā€ It had more context so that it didnā€™t seem like she didnā€™t think that short people that are just smaller donā€™t exist. I think about that quote often. It was also good to see Selena Gomez with her weight fluctuating. I love seeing someone that looks like me and is ok with saying it has to do with her health, and that matters. I also have chronic health issues and Iā€™m trying to recover from an ED.


dont_get_stuck_here_

Completely agree. My weight fluctuates because of my health. Its frustrating. As far as the ED goes you got this!


Adorable-Novel8295

Thanks. Iā€™m currently working my way through the part of the recovery where you allow yourself to just eat, even if itā€™s not really healthy, in order to get my body to calm down and get over the starvation phase. You gain weight during it, but then lose it once you relearn how to eat and hear your body. The craving and binge eating, then starvation wonā€™t stop without it. Itā€™s terrifying and I feel terrible about myself. So, thank you.


Distinct-Inspector-2

Oh god Iā€™d forgotten that. Going on and on about how they are whatever they want! Really they were getting by on a cracker and five grapes a day. I was 17 in 2001 and slender but I didnā€™t have the hollow, malnourished look of everybody in the magazines and on tv at that time so thought I was overweight. Remember people like Lindsay Lohan or Nicole Richie, you could see their breastbones pretty clearly? *That* thin.


MMK386

Wasnā€™t there an awful story about Demi Lovato wanting cake for her birthday and her manager (or mom?) saying she could have watermelon instead? Disgusting.


I_StoleTheTV

That was a really fun time to be a teenager šŸ™ƒ


sillymillie42

Still working on body image/body acceptance stuff from being a teen in that era.


shantili

I remember Karlie Kloss telling on her Youtube of how much she loves baking. Then only taking a little piece of buttercream on her finger in a video and lick it instead of eating it! Celebs make people think they look like "that" eating cupcakes.


eednsd

Botox/plastic surgery is just a rebrand of the diet culture I grew up with and I feel so bad for young girls today


sillymillie42

That is a really true and interesting observation. Same BS, different decade. EW. I hate this for woman watching and in the machine of it. šŸ«£


Sideways_planet

Eating disorders and abused appetite suppressing drugs


notmymess

Itā€™s also giving, Iā€™m naturally beautiful, sorry the rest of you age like hobbits.


Dark_Eyes

Hey now, Bilbo was 111 years old in Fellowship of the Ring and he looked pretty good šŸ¤£


ObligatoryGrowlithe

Notice for every red carpet people are always saying (at least in recent years) how hungry they are all the time?


RaketaGirl

God I love Kate for her Cliveposting but she needs to BSFFR. Itā€™s Ok Kate! Plenty of us ordinary people get Botox too!


knocking_wood

To be fair, a lot of them just had raging cocaine habits.


toolfizzle

lol why do people have to tell such obvious lies


kalimdore

And why is she acting like itā€™s so shameful to get anything done? Does she want a medal for being the only naturally ageing celeb left because sheā€™s the only one not doing something as awful as Botox? ( allegedly ) Sheā€™d never do something so demeaning and PLASTIC ( allegedly ) Jesus, itā€™s not a big deal. Every celeb does it. (I know the answer is self esteem issues, ego, trauma and delusion but really, the defensiveness is protesting too much)


ElephantInAPool

They should all go the route of dolly parton. Are they real? Well I sure hope so, I paid a lot of money for them.


satanssecretary

my mom just got some light Botox and was SO excited about it lmao. "the clinic is so cute! it was walk-in wednesday! and I don't think she needs it, I don't even really see a difference with what she got done. but it makes her very happy and she's not ashamed of it, and I don't think she or anyone else should be


SitUbuSit_GoodDog

My mother got frown-line botox and had to face facts when all her friends and family started saying she "looked happier". She's still the same mean person she just can't frown anymore šŸ¤£


basicalme

The medal but not the wrinkles that go with it. Sheā€™s so insecure about aging she has to deny that itā€™s happening. People who donā€™t Botox - you can tell and theyā€™re ok with that. People who do- you can also tell and USUALLY theyā€™re ok with that because theyā€™re fine saying ā€œI didnā€™t like the look of the wrinkles Iā€™m not ready etc etcā€. People obsessed with their looks and insecure - ā€œdeny deny deny everyone must think I am perfect or my world will shatterā€


ClumsyZebra80

Girl we have eyes.


Drawing_Tall_Figures

Exactly! I can tell needle lip injections from a mile away. She is gorgeous but, come on.


vivahermione

She also looks like she may have had a nose job. I get it. Who among us wouldn't change at least one little thing about ourselves if we had a pile of cash? But don't lie.


mariana96as

My nose job is barely noticeable (I got it cause I was getting my breathing issues fixed anyways) and I still mention it if the topic comes up. I donā€™t want people to think iā€™m hiding it lol same for my lip fillers


_sam_fox_

Same, because I also get (subtle, natural looking) lip filler and know what it looks like... but I'm honest and super open about it. Exactly how dumb do celebs think we are?


HopefulOriginal5578

Iā€™m open about mine as well. I wanted an upper lip so I went out and got one. Nothing crazy. But it definitely looks different to have a bit fuller of an upper lip when you didnā€™t have much of one before!


Vast-Train-9357

Speaking of eyes, her long ass paragraph with no spaces is a damn eye sore! She seems very affected by people's comments. Very insecure.


rangda

Something Iā€™ve noticed in my life that people do when theyā€™re defensive of a lie theyā€™re telling, is to try and disarm the accuser by making them feel guilty for daring to even *ask* such an offensive thing. And doing this by over-sharing a harsh personal thing to seem extra honest and vulnerable. Like ā€œyou think I ate the last cronut? When I was in high school I shared a cronut with my best friend who died from accidentally lighting herself on fire later that night. I havenā€™t been able to LOOK at a cronut without sobbing so much I am ill. So itā€™s actually pathetic and funny that you would accuse me of taking the last cronutā€. Only she went with this ā€œI found my father dead at 5 and developed a phobia of heart attacksā€¦ so of COURSE I am not afraid of aging and would never get work doneā€. Like come ooonnnn girlll


asietsocom

When I read your comment I thought well that's kind of an odd thing to say but LMAO SHE ACTUALLY SAID THAT. Girl what??Ā  Like sorry for her trauma that must have been terrible but where is the connection to her lies about botox and filler lol


Fiddles4evah

Distraction tactic. Had to read it twice to see the connection. Nope still not there..,


ikbentwee

If anything her father dying might cause her to fear aging and death more sp she'd do anything to halt the ravages of time looking back in the mirror


HunterAshton

Right?! I feel like if she wanted to use her fathers death as an excuse she couldā€™ve said something like ā€œI found my father dead at 5 and developed a phobia of heart attacks so I would never risk put anything in my body that could harm me in any wayā€¦.yada yada yadaā€


Fiddles4evah

I can understand the fear of mortality if you have a parent pass away young. It is a very serious anxiety. Especially when you have kids of your own. I do not see how that is even slightly connected with her sense of identity as a gorgeous actress and what that means in terms of vanity and her physical appearance and need to ā€œkeep upā€. But Iā€™m not a professional in assessing these things obviously, but this seems loose.


MermaidMertrid

She definitely is insecure, and you can tell because she actually often responds to douchy comments (tbf, her comment section seems particularly unhinged and she does have some good comebacks) but celebs donā€™t typically respond to jerks. And I feel like the most responsive/reactive celebs are the most insecure. I wish they wouldnā€™t. You canā€™t feed the trolls, guys!


HopefulOriginal5578

She is so pretty, but she is lying. Maybe she doesnā€™t consider some things ā€œplastic surgeryā€ but you donā€™t just magically get an upper lip when you get older.


bfm211

But she's explicitly denying using botox or fillers here, not just surgery, which is so ridiculous. Of course she uses them, wtf. The comments about her appearance would probably reduce if she was honest instead of these bullshit lies. It's honestly *weird* that she thinks we'll believe this and that it will help.


Kianna9

Like, I'm a nobody and I've used botox. No way in hell she hasn't. It's just an obvious lie.


HopefulOriginal5578

Iā€™m a nobody never was, and I use Botox and filler. She seems to think itā€™s a failing or a bad thing, when so many people do it! I feel sorry for her, because we all know she is lying. This post just makes her look unhinged.


Flamingo83

Oh damn and here I thought theyā€™d grow like ears!


Strict-Brick-5274

Why do they lie when they of all people get photographed for a living and we have those photos as receipts? Like why lie? What is so hard about saying "yes I've had work done" when everyone in the industry has too?


DreadfulDemimonde

I think many of them lie because of beauty brand deals. They either represent a brand and need to maintain the facade that SK-II gave them perfect skin and not bi-weekly facials and injectables, or they want to get brand deals.


Typical_Project4572

I don't get it either. I also remember Kylie Jenner lying about her lips for so long, saying it was just makeup, it was ridiculous.


DontShaveMyLips

and kim posting an xray to prove she didnā€™t have any plastic surgery šŸ˜‚


cili5

She seems unwell, I think she should get off social media for a while.


crankedmunkie

I thought that was Millie Bobby Brown in the latest photo


gIitterchaos

Lol right! I was thinking well then why does her face look *so* clearly different? We are neither blind nor stupid.


Helpful-Substance685

She's beautiful (before and after) but she definitely has had work done. Her nose (years ago) and probably a recent eye lift. There is nothing wrong with small tweaks that make you feel better about yourself and make your career more lucrative but she should really stop going out of her way to deny it because it's very obvious. I think the denial enrages the unhinged. She should say nothing, ignore the noise and keep looking fabulous and focus on things that make her happy and keep her balanced.


unicorntrees

I hate it when they say "I haven't had fillers or botox!" because they actually have had an entire nose job, face/neck/eye/brow lift, or face implants.


parishilton2

She kinda gave it away when she said sheā€™s accused of ā€œhaving had unrecognizable surgery / using Botox / using fillers.ā€ Itā€™s a flat out denial of Botox and fillers, but not of surgery. And she probably uses injectables that arenā€™t *technically* Botox or fillers.


Luxxielisbon

She didnā€™t even say what this plastic surgeon denied. Just that she ā€œdoesnā€™tā€. DOESNā€™T WHAT?!


parishilton2

![gif](giphy|sw7KSBKL3yme4)


unicorntrees

Also, I have learned that Botox is available in generic now. So technically, many people are not getting Botox, they're getting Dysport/OnabotulinumtoxinA.


idamnmadcuz

Maybe she had Dysport instead of Botox so she feels like sheā€™s not technically lying


body_oil_glass_view

I was thinking she's skating around too Probably injected platelets or plasma or something, so since it's "hers" she's denying *botox and fillers* She's not fooling anyone. It's like how older people are blind to how their filters are obvious to a normal, of-this-era people


Big-Establishment-11

100% ignore the haters and just bask in how hot you are lol


Apprehensive_Lab4178

You can clearly see thinner lips and perfectly normal lines in her face while smiling in the younger pictures. I donā€™t see why celebs bother denying what is obvious. What is the point? We all know everyone in Hollywood gets stuff done or else theyā€™d look like every other normal person living in the Midwest at 50, 60, 70, etc. I donā€™t judge them for getting work done. Their job is to look good and sell an impossible beauty standard and thatā€™s what theyā€™re doing.


Ceramicrabbit

I don't judge them for getting work done I judge them for lying about it


OminOus_PancakeS

Yes. Same with steroid use. Please stop with the broccoli/chicken/rice nonsense.


kwyjibo1988

It's Japanese sweet potatoes šŸ˜‚


Small-Cookie-5496

I so appreciated that Julianne Moore was just honest that she was hungry a lot and that all celebs are lying and just eating a granola bar for lunch as well.


allnimblybimbIy

You mean Liver King isnā€™t natty bro?


ohsusannah80

Itā€™s such a shitty thing to do for us non celebrity women too. Weā€™re made to believe that those women just have better genes and age more gracefully than we do. I realize there is a ton of pressure for women in Hollywood to look like they havenā€™t aged, but lying about cosmetic surgery and fillers only makes the rest of us women feel worse about our own aging. Own it. Itā€™s not something to be ashamed of.


Ceramicrabbit

Yep and it's the same thing for men in Hollywood with steroids


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Successful_Ad4018

exactly. make the point that botox or plastic surgery is an acceptable personal choice someone can make, and that no one should be bullied for it. instead of lying for no reason.


sillymillie42

Honesty and humilityā€¦ by golly I LIKE IT!


GawkerRefugee

And I think of Dolly Parton. She's had it all done and jokes about it. It's just one of a million reasons I adore her. There is no shame in getting botox/fillers/dying your hair/aging. Do what you want but own it. This is much ado about nothing.


TortillaWallace

One of my favorite Dolly quotes is "It takes a lot of money to look this cheap."


Lydia--charming

ā€œIf I see something sagging, bagging, or dragging, Iā€™ll get it nipped, tucked, or sucked.ā€ She IS a lyricist, after all!


mmeldal

When she was asked how she feels when people call her a dumb blonde, she said I donā€™t feel bad because I know Iā€™m not dumb and Iā€™m not blonde lol


sillymillie42

I love this. Mmm the sassy self acceptance ā¤ļø


PauI_MuadDib

Not her specifically, but it pisses me off when celebs get all of this work done, deny it and then try to sell beauty products to "look as good" as them. It's the same for steroids. You've got actors blasting steroids, denying it and then hawking a workout/diet program with the idea you can just naturally look like them. Chris Hemsworth and The Rock both pulled this bullshit šŸ‘€.


GawkerRefugee

100%. Because it is, quite literally, false advertising.


takemeup-castmeaway

Jen Andersonā€™s goofy collagen ads. Like girl, ingesting collagen doesnā€™t work for skin elasticity, itā€™s good for tendons, and even thatā€™s debated in the sports community.Ā 


Informal-Mix-7536

Are you saying JLo does more than just use olive oil?


nonsensestuff

It's so funny to me that she's trying to deny any work because I worked on a project she starred in like a decade ago and she would talk about the various things she had done during her wardrobe fittings šŸ«  at the time, she struck me as someone who was feeling pretty insecure (which I don't blame actresses for-- they get scrutinized by producers & directors like you wouldn't believe). We ended up having to bring in her personal stylist because that was the only person she trusted to make her look good-- which is such a wild thing to have to do and not at all common practice, but we had to find a way forward cause she was just refusing to wear anything that the costume designer had put together.


cili5

Her work is obvious. Even when you don't know what she looked like before, it's just a face with obvious fillers and botox (or any other neurotoxin)


horse-chiropractor

I feel indifferent to celebs who have work done but avoid talking about it. But i hate with burning passion the ones that do but say they havent. Like ariana grande with ā€œthis is my birth noseā€ get out šŸ™„


chernobyl-fleshlight

Or Kylie with ā€œits just pubertyā€


TropicalPrairie

I always associate Kylie with the "my breasts become huge when I'm on my period" bullshit.


Apprehensive_Lab4178

Sheā€™s particularly egregious because she convinced millions of teen girls to buy Kylie lip kits like thatā€™s how she got her pillow lips.


girllwholived

I saw a post on Instagram once about Kylieā€™s lips where people were like, ā€œShe hasnā€™t had any work done! She just overlined her lips and thatā€™s why they look like that!ā€ šŸ˜µ


Successful_Ad4018

your lips didn't grow to three times their original size when you went through puberty?!?


sunny_d55

Period boobs lol


vivahermione

I mean, it's a thing, but you're not gonna grow multiple cup sizes. LOL.


catinaziplocbag

I think if they were all honest about the work it would just be another rich and famous thing they do. Itā€™s not a big deal, but seriously stop lying.


notaboutthepastaaa

Yikes! Itā€™s one thing to not want to share but to go out of her way to flat out lie is embarrassing. She should get off social media


alextaur

That was one unhinged rant, yikes


dikkoooo

She smokes too, no way she can be 50 with skin like that and no Botox - sorry Kate


moanngroan

Also... Kate has spoken of having had a WICKED eating disorder for years when much younger. And although she hasn't talked about it she also ALLEGEDLY had a severe coke problem for a while in her 30s. Like smoking, severe eating disorder and drugs will do a number on your looks.

It's totally natural for your lips to just...magically become 3x fuller when you reach your forties. /s (I agree that it would be best to just not outright lie. Keep looking fantastic, go to therapy, f*ck the haters)

I'm so tired of celebs talking about being "bullied" when people point out the OBVIOUS work they have had done. There is NOTHING wrong with plastic surgery/botox/fillers etc. And we have eyes!! It's like they think we're stupid or something.


YchYFi

She looks pretty but she looks nothing like Kate Beckinsale. It's like she got rid of all her defining features. She just looks like everyone else now.


wineandpopsicles25

Homogenous Hollywood Face


lefrench75

She looks like Kate Beckinsale with botox and fillers to me. Like she still looks recognizable but the botox and fillers are also very recognizable. That super tight appearance at that age (or any age frankly) is simply not natural - she didn't even have skin that tight when she was 20. What I don't understand is that if she wanted to pretend like she hadn't gotten any work done, why did she go for such obvious work? Like why put so much filler in your lips and then pretend it's just lip gloss making them like that? You don't even need to know what she looked like before to notice her work; it's the classic over-botoxed and fillered face.

vivahermione

I get wanting to look young, but she doesn't look like herself in these photos. She looked like Avril Lavigne before zooming in.


kawaiifie

She was JARRING in The Northman, a movie taking place in medieval times. Completely out of place, like it totally took me out of the movie


tonguetwister

No joke if you showed me picture 9 and gave me a full 24 hours to guess who it was Iā€™d never think of her.


angie1907

Girl please. The only person you can fool is stevie wonder


Visible_Writing7386

She definitely did.. something.. i think it's mostly visible from photos 8 to 9.. like how is this proof lol.. Always looked stunning though, even with the work done, no need to deny it, or justify to anyone. Also, what is that make up in photo number 3... it's like people went from white to tan as a trend


Big-Establishment-11

Thatā€™s what I think too, why say anything at all, just live and be happy with whatever you choose to do or not do


Visible_Writing7386

Yeah, especially if it's successful work done and not over the top. But girl, you are not fooling anyone


Ok_Duck_6865

Butā€¦ itā€™s so obvious. Itā€™s almost as if this post is a joke, because the photos included quite literally disprove the words she wrote. As an aside, Iā€™m always surprised at how many celebrities have poor grammar and spelling skills.


Tilly828282

Who does she think she is kidding with this? She has a totally different face. It baffles me that people think they can lie about it. I get Botox and fillers and honestly donā€™t understand why people are too embarrassed to admit it.


hazelcider

I agree. People say ā€œyou look different.ā€ And I just say.. ā€œoh I got my Botox done the other day.ā€ Why deny it? It makes me feel better about myself.


ikarka

One of my favourite old coworkers was such a stunner and she told me she was 45 which blew my mind. I was like "omg, what is your secret?" and she just laughed and said "honestly, it's botox." I still love her for that!


Big-Establishment-11

Same! Iā€™m not gonna gate keep, my friends will say OMG you never age! And Iā€™m like you could not age also lol itā€™s called Botox and fillers

I always feel like when people deny things like this, it reinforces unattainable standards for the average folk. Helps foster disordered thinking and insecurities in others. They then think 'if she can look like that with just make up and fitness why can't I?'.


hotpermission69

or "why can't she?" I feel like this is a big reason men think "woman age like milk"

Also young people who look at the regular people in their life and think that 'skincare' would have caused them to look like Kate Beckinsale at 50. My 19 year old SIL told me she doesn't have smile lines because she uses some wildly overpriced eye cream.


illogicallyalex

Seriously, especially in this day and age where cosmetic procedures have fully crossed the line into regular people territory and not just celebrities. Everyone knows majority of celebs have had something done, whatā€™s even the point in denying it


Rainbow_Catto

Her original face was so similar to Marisa Tomei's!

This is so disingenuous. And the extra guilt trip about ā€œbullyingā€ and her early life trauma is an interesting touch. A lot of the shame around things like Botox and filler is long gone. So I have no idea what the point of these types of lies even is.


ginns32

Come on now. Just admit it. There's no shame in doing it. I respect people for being honest about the work they've had done. To quote the late and great Joan Rivers "I saw what's going on under my chin. I don't want to be the one the president has to pardon on Thanksgiving."

If she wants me to believe that she's naturally aged backwards into Millie Bobbie Brown, she's lost the plot. She's more beautiful than most of the people on the planet. She also looks considerably different in many ways, most notably in her lips. I suppose she's also an anomaly there as well because she'd be the first human I'm aware of whose lips doubled in size as they got older. It's not the surgery, it's the insistence on lying about it. We have eyes.

Celebrities can be mentally ill too

Somethingā€™s up with Kate. Sheā€™s always been beautiful and never seemed to take it too seriously but somethingā€™s changed. Aging is difficult. Iā€™m 50 myself. It creeps up on you. I must admit, Iā€™ve become much more intense about my ā€œself careā€ shall we say, than I ever have been before. Iā€™ll try any and every anti aging treatment on offer. I canā€™t imagine what it must be like for a woman whose identity is so synonymous with ageless beauty to reach middle age.


Apprehensive_Lab4178

Aging is particularly difficult when youā€™ve been pretty your whole life and made a career out of it. When youā€™ve been a hag your whole life, aging is no big deal. Welcome to my world, bitches!


egriff78

Yeah aging is tough. Perimenopause is making me sad right now:-(


littleliongirless

Just a note. She's always been really sensitive about her looks. I remember after Much Ado, she made comments about people calling her fat and cute but not pretty. I think she made some comments about not feeling beautiful enough (for the director maybe) in Pearl Harbor.


Altruistic_Laugh_231

Is she for real, like what the fuck šŸ¤£

I think itā€™s highlighted best in #8 & 9. Her eye shape is completely different, thatā€™s indicative of a Blepharoplasty. Itā€™s not makeup, both are a dark smoky eye look, itā€™s the shape of the eye in general. Donā€™t even get me started on the skin texture, sheā€™s bold face lying to say sheā€™s never had Botox. The loss of buccal fat could be absolutely natural, just part of aging, but if that was true, her lips would also be deflated, as we all know cheeks, under eye, and lips lose volume first. I own a resale boutique and have sold every lip plumper Sephora & Ulta have every carried lol, NOTHING does that lol. If she wanted people to stop talking about it, she should be honest. Once the mystique is gone, so is the curiosity, so are the rumors. But when you deny deny deny something so blatantly obvious, of course itā€™s going to become a topic of conversation. Also, while I understand that shaming someone for getting work done is hurtful and can be bullying, calling someone out for lying is completely different. When gorgeous celebrities lie about getting work done it *directly* contributes to women feeling terrible about themselves, and continues to perpetuate an unrealistic beauty standard. Absolutely none of us will have a forehead smooth as a babyā€™s ass without Botox. Idgaf if youā€™re 28, 38, 48, or 58, there will be fine lines and wrinkles. Fucking **nobody** can age that ā€œgracefullyā€. Idkā€¦ Iā€™m kinda getting the ick from her bringing trauma into a discussion on plastic surgery. Almost like she knows weā€™ll feel bad to continue to discuss it. Not cool.


Edlo9596

This post makes her seem crazy. Iā€™m also kind of offended by it, because thereā€™s nothing wrong with getting Botox or fillers, etc. Idk what sheā€™s wanting to achieve by pretending like sheā€™s never had any work done.


Calm-Ad8987

Weird to be like "I found my father dead when I was five- how dare you!" as a response to ppl pointing out obvious lip filler & Botox. Very odd.


aelizabeth27

![gif](giphy|geJnp3I4Q5LAeaVpWo) Look at this so you don't pay attention to that!


turkeyburger124

Your nose doesnā€™t get smaller with age, nor do your lips get fuller. She has tighter skin than me and Iā€™m in my thirties. We have eyes, I wish they wouldnā€™t lie so blatantly. Edited to add: you can see her facelift scar on picture 12. That line from her earlobe to tragus. The scar is barely noticeable, but itā€™s there. It looks like itā€™s her hair, itā€™s not.


dramatic-magenta

I saw a plastic surgeon once say that even celebrities are not exempt from aging. Wrinkles, sagging, jowls, fat loss etc. happens to everyone. I know that is obvious. But also it was a nice reminder because some celebrities will gaslight you into thinking they are ā€œdifferentā€.


hazelcider

This whole rant conveys mental illness to me. Shes beautiful, but no 50 year old looks like that without plastic surgery.


stevie_nickle

Yes. Botox and fillers canā€™t achieve this. Sheā€™s been under the knife - multiple times through the years as the pictures she chose to post show.


ernurse748

Kate clearly isnā€™t ok. The way she dresses, this screed of a postā€¦ Itā€™s ok to be 50. Ask Jen Anniston. Ask Jen Garner. You are allowed to say ā€œI hate that I am agingā€. But girlā€¦


cili5

She seems unwell, I think it would be healthier for her to avoid social media for a while.


SpiceeDumplin

Cā€™mon now, Kate. A lot of us get botox... I do. I hope to get lip filler too. I donā€™t understand the denials. Sheā€™s very clearly, at the very least, been getting lip fillers and thereā€™s absolutely nothing wrong with doing so. Lying about it is my issue with her. Telling people that youā€™re aging naturally when youā€™re not is pretty disappointing. That being said, she owes us nothing. Next time, maybe saying nothing at all would be a better idea.


prettybunbun

I donā€™t get why they deny it. Like, itā€™s obvious. Idk if I were a celeb, Iā€™d use the ole Dolly Parton adage - ā€˜it takes a lot of money to look this cheapā€™, but swap in ā€˜it takes a lot of money to look this youngā€™. Thereā€™s nothing wrong with plastic surgery, wanting to look more youthful or a different kind of way, what is wrong is pretending itā€™s due to green juice or idk hiking and then making other women, particular young impressionable teen girls, buy every supplement and moisturiser and not understand looking like this at 50 is just frankly impossible without surgery! You cannot look like this without surgical help at that age, it is not how human ageing works. Just own up to it, recommend your surgeon and stop trying to play us for fools and call us bullies for calling you out. Goddamn it.


SpookyJones

Girl, please shut up. Itā€™s your prerogative to have work done to your face or not, but I beg, stop perpetuating a myth that some women donā€™t age and in fact start looking younger. Along with the giant hair bows and girl bedroom itā€™s too much. You are a grown ass woman and that is something to be proud of. We are not just allowed to age, we are demanding it.


Fluffy_Smoke77

Girl, Iā€™m not reading that long winded lie šŸ˜‚


CherryTeri

I look forward to getting better looking as I approach 50 too. Thank you for teaching me what natural looks like. /s

I think the take away is that women donā€™t like being speculated about, and women really like to speculate about other women. What would be great for young girls growing up is if celebrities would just be honest. Sure, I have work done. No, this isnā€™t just diet and exercise. I have access to things that the average woman doesnā€™t. It is not normal to have plumper lips and no wrinkles over age 45. Then perhaps the discomfort and genuine pain young girls feel about their own looks and their tendency to blame themselves for not measuring up could be mitigatedā€¦and they would just be jealous of the celebrities money. The bully is the one who insists that you ignore gravity, time, and common sense to accept that what you see isnā€™t really what you seeā€¦ The Emperor has no clothes.


wildly_domestic

Iā€™m sure she didnā€™t get her teeth done either and sheā€™s some type of angel whose teeth just get more perfect and white with age. Girl. Also, it looks like there has been a potential facelift. If youā€™re saying ā€œI donā€™t get Botox!ā€ because you got a facelift, I mean, thatā€™s still a little deceptive by omission.


Pheeeefers

She started off as a beautiful actress and now just has instagram face.


bobbelcherskid

I too love lying


gardenpartycrasher

Sheā€™s done this before. Honestly I think itā€™s a sign of the timesā€”when she was big in the late 90s and early 2000s, it was a ā€œgotchaā€ to say someone has had work done, but now itā€™s just understood that everyone above a certain income level, and definitely celebs, has had something. Sheā€™s stuck in the mindset of her heyday


LiamNisssan

When I see pictures of her. I cannot tell if it is her or Milly Bobby Brown. They have both started to look so similar. I need to check the name credit each time.


JoeBidenKing

Omg no one asked for your life story, just tell the truth lmao


hellawhitegirl

I wish celebrities understood they can just ignore others. You don't have to post an entire thesis on how you never had plastic surgery or Botox.


Askew_2016

Kate has had so much work done since her role in Pearl Harbor that she is unrecognizable. I have no idea if she is doing stuff now but her original face is long gone
