The Felice Fawn Makeup Video: An Exercise in Futility (and Vanity)

Leanin' like a Satanic chola

Lauren decided she'd finally had enough of the plebeians in her Stickam chats continually asking her to do a makeup video on her "daily routine"... even though 98% of her Stickam sessions consist of her applying more makeup over her makeup, like so:


So, she deigned to create and upload a nearly 14 minute long video of herself applying her "usual face". In this video, not only does she not explain anything she does, but she doesn't even bother to list any of the products she used. But that's not why this video is getting so much criticism.


She posted the makeup video on her blog, along with the claim that she wasn't wearing any makeup at the beginning of the video "except for tinted moisturizer".


Let's start with a screenshot of 2 seconds into the video, where she allegedly is wearing only the aforementioned tinted moisturizer.


Something not look right? Let's have a closer look.


No makeup, eh Lauren? Sure looks like eyeliner to me! And apparently everyone else with functioning eyes.

Here's another screenshot about 30 seconds in where she "starts" applying powder, and although she has not started doing eye makeup on video yet, her lower lid and inner corners are visibly lined.


Aside from the fact that she clearly started the video already wearing foundation... no one's eyes are naturally lined in black like that. Her viewers instantly noticed (how could anyone not, though?) and started commenting on it. She completely denied (and continues to deny) it:






A few lonely Felice stans tried to defend her, which she naturally ate up and continued to insist she was not wearing any makeup except for "tinted moisturizer" at the beginning of the video while deleting the comments that questioned this claim.



And then there's this shining beacon of intelligence:


I'm not sure who is more irritating: the intellectually-challenged fans who blindly accept everything she does and defend her no matter what, or Lauren herself for behaving like a proud, delusional child while lying about something quite trivial.

The comments questioning Lauren continued to pour in as she tried to keep up by deleting and gushing over her twisted idea that these comments were somehow meant as compliments. Notice how she slips up on her lie (accidentally'd her whole lie?) that she wasn't wearing any eye makeup at the beginning of the video, but admits she was wearing mascara in the comments below.




The video was posted to efagz, where it was further analyzed and, of course, debunked. Not long after she posted the video, comments like this started appearing in droves and were popping up at the top of the comment page due to so many efagz members positively rating them (hilarious, IMO):


This caused Lauren to go on a typically Felice-like deleting/banning spree, and also for the rating of the video to go down drastically (lulz).



She ended up disabling ratings due to the rapid decline of her positive rating. From efagz as well as Youtube:




But she insisted (and apparently still is in the Youtube comments!) that she still wasn't wearing eye makeup at the start.


Someone tried to make an excuse for her, and she decided "Yeah, sounds good, I'll just go with that."


Enjoy some screen caps of Lauren's informative replies to makeup inquiries and clear, helpful angles that show us all what she is actually doing.





It seems she didn't want us to actually SEE her working her mascara magic on her eyelashes. After finishing her eyeshadow (which seemed to take some time just to pick up any pigment onto her brush), finishing her liner and hastily applying a little mascara to her upper lashes, she stares at the camera for a moment, then turns to look for something. Take note of the time in the lower left corner in the 3rd image down.




BAM! Instant spider legs at 9:55, two seconds later!





HA! While we're correcting others, Lauren...


Just thought you should know that "technically" it's moisturizer. Or even moisturiser, since you're in the UK. ;)

Why wouldn't she actually do her lashes on video, though? Why cut out that very important piece? I'm guessing it's because she's so insecure, she just can't stand the thought of looking unattractive for a few seconds while she does the open-mouthed maneuver that ALL women do when applying mascara to the lower lashes. Or maybe she cut out the piece of the video where she put on individual false lashes, and wants everyone to think she has naturally long, clumpy lashes. Hard to say.

The last 30 seconds or so are really embarrassing to watch. Lauren seemed especially pleased with herself after applying several layers of black lipstick, and proceeded to spend the last half-minute of the video doing what she's best at: playing with her hair and staring smugly at herself in her webcam.








All donesies! What an enthralling and educational makeup video, where Lauren started out with a full face of makeup, denied it and banned everyone who called her out, cut out nearly all of the important application parts, and didn't tell anyone what products she used. The thing is, making such a useless makeup video wouldn't be such a big deal if Lauren didn't INSIST on lying about something so trivial, something anyone can see for themselves, and deleting/banning those who dared to question such a pointless lie.


*shrug*

Another screen cap of an older video where she also claimed she wasn't wearing any makeup... and yet I spy foundation and eyeliner, again. Less eyeliner, but if you look at her upper eyelids, it's pretty obvious, and there are remnants of eyeliner on her lower lids, too. This last image is probably the closest we've seen to Lauren ACTUALLY not wearing makeup, and of course, she's covering her face.


If you're that insecure, don't claim to not be wearing makeup WHEN YOU CLEARLY FUCKING ARE. Your grainy webcam can't protect you and more importantly, not everyone is as dumb as you like to think they are, Lauren!

The following was posted on Tumblr, and I found it to be quite apt:

  1. This is cyberbullying and cyberstalking.

    1. First of all, LOL. Secondly, how exactly is it "cyberstalking" if I am just commenting on and posting reactions to a video SHE uploaded? And how is it "cyberbullying" if I and MANY others are just calling her out for lying?

  2. for some one that doesn't wear fake lashes...she certainly buys a lot of them: http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/felicefawn/

  3. Posting blogs with pictures on a regular basis to intentionally ridicule someone and instigate others to dislike and gang up on her. I'm afraid you're a cyberbully darling. And obviously you're monitoring her online every day to collect new material to use, that's cyberstalking!
    If you behaved like this in a non virtual environment you'd be arrested for harassment! If you felt you were doing nothing wrong you would show your identity.
    You should let people get their come uppance on their own, be patient and not react in childish ways, you're worse than her for this.

  4. Send an email to the director of Profile Models, Christophe Chalvet de recy or Simone about Felice Fawn's scamming, fraud, lying, hypocrisy, pro-ana and thinspo lifestyle, alcoholism, pet abuse, drug abuse so she gets her modeling contract revoked. The more evidence we give them the better our chance of winning! DO YOU ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE???

    1. What the hell is wrong with you? She is very wrong but you don't have to ruin her life.

    2. Do I accept the challenge? Uh, what does that even mean?!

      Honestly, as much as I support spreading the truth about Lauren Cook, I think you might be frothing at the mouth a bit. I'm weirded out.

    3. It means you should send them an email derp

    4. I know. It was just... kind of an odd way to put it.

    5. so are you gonna do it? I don't see anything wrong with people sending Profile an email because Felice ruined her life all on her own...we're just providing them with the evidence.

      Delete
    6. I actually already did email them a few days ago, when it came out that Lauren got signed. I was disappointed that (unlike a few efagz members) I did not get a butthurt response. ;(
      This agency is really showing their level of "professionalism" in warning certain members to "be careful" just for conveying information. Be careful of what? Are you going to send your e-lawlyer after us?!

  5. I think moisturiser is the British-English spelling. Could be wrong though.

    Anyway, I don't understand why she won't own up to wearing make up. I don't see the big deal? I think I'm actually starting to feel bad for her. Girl needs some serious help. Nope, false alarm... Phew.

  6. Is it just me, or does she seem to miraculously end up wearing the circle lenses when the black lipstick is on?
    Icba watching the video, it's far too long to bore myself with, however from those pictures, she has none, then bam, she's wearing lenses.

  7. pfft, hillarious, her ebay feedback left for other people..

    Looks like she left negative feedback for some silver studs: "STILL no item. Poor communication. Either terrible delivery or absolute scam." (double underline that word there.. SCAM.. hahahahaha) and in true Lauren style, the seller replies with this: "i refunded in full then i find you got your order but never returned goods sent"

    nice.

    1. Hahaha! It's delicious to see her using the word "scam". YOU would know something about that, wouldn't you, Lauren?

      I'm she did receive them and kept the seller's money, too. Ugh!

    2. Wow. That should be a blog post of its own...that is criminal behavior right there

  8. Ok, so this is kinda off topic, but that post totally reminds me of Cherye Leah, who I'm sure you have heard of. The girl Felice accused of copying her. Unfortunately she actually seems to copy Felice's lies about having no make up on... she even lies about her contacts. Noone has naturally big irises (with an even pattern) like that, and also, her natural eyes look more hazel/brown to me. She definitely has lipstick on as well. If you're interested:

    1. Oh, now that I look at the date, the opposite seems to be the case!

  9. I also believe she is wearing fake lashes on her top lash-line. This is because at 8.56 she is brushing her eyelashes like she is trying to manoeuvre them into the right position. Also her right (from her perspective) eyelash looks SO much longer and darker than her left at 9.00 when she looks down. Then at 9.10 they both are magically as long as each other! Why lie about such stupid and trivial things?
