Uncanny Valley Makeup | comment |
Generally, people use cosmetics to make themselves more attractive. A little extra color or definition can make a world of difference. In the wrong hands, however, or taken too far, that dab of lipstick, powder, and paint can push a person straight into the Uncanny Valley. The human face disappears into the make-up, leaving something profoundly unnatural: a clown, a porcelain doll, or a something just plain grotesque. This is disconcerting enough even if accidentally incurred in an honest effort to achieve perfection — if a character cultivates Uncanny Valley Makeup on purpose, like the semantic colors on a venomous snake, be on the alert for serious, premeditated creepiness. Bonus points if the person is wearing an old fashioned Pimped-Out Dress, a frivolous multicolored outfit, or an all black outfit. Or they may also dress in a skimpy outfit that was intended purely for Fanservice. Additional bonus points if worn by a Creepy Crossdresser. Depending on the circumstances this trope can be considered a good source of Nightmare Fuel or Fan Disservice. See also Makeup Is Evil, Cosmetic Catastrophe, Impossibly Tacky Clothes, Excessive Evil Eyeshadow, Skin-Tone Disguise. |

Toddlers & Tiaras: The excessive makeup that includes heavy eyeshadow, unnatural blush, fake lashes, and fake tan is especially unsettling since the girls of the show don't pass from the age of 10. This, combined with Age-Inappropriate Dress is the reason why many people criticize the show and many others watch it due to morbid curiosity. | |

Manga Soprano: The girl who makes a fool of me "Your makeup is terrible" → Then I removed my makeup.... (sic): Kanade comes to a singles party wearing too much makeup. The story's antagonist Yoshiko mocks her for it to the point of pouring a drink on her. A woman who is a snobbish self-torturer who changes her attitude in front of men.... (sic): Junko attends work wearing heavy makeup, which makes the viewer wonder how come the workers fall for her cutesy facade. In high school → no makeup allowed; as an adult → told that makeup is common sense (sic): Kanade comes to school with heavy, misapplied makeup when going to school, unaware of the new teacher's ban on makeup. Years later after being called out, she stopped wearing it until the same teacher, who became director of the company she works at tells her to use makeup like the other female employees. She comes back the next day with even worse makeup than before, which causes the other employees to laugh at her. |

In Beauty and the Beast (2017), the pre-transformation prince in the prologue has his face completely caked with powder and makeup and looks garish and creepy as a result. When he transforms back into a human at the end of the film sans makeup, he looks much better. | |

In an attempt to seem more grown-up, she gives herself a makeover with an online makeup tutorial. However, when she reveals herself to the other girls, they scream in fright at her-less-than perfect makeup job. | |

In Daft Punk's Electroma, this is the unfortunate result of the main characters' attempt to Become Real Boys. The prosthetics might have even worked, were they not applied over Daft Punk's signature helmets, which made the faces way too large and obviously fake. Also, the bit where they melted under the heat of the sun really didn't help. | |

Bridget Jones' Diary: Bridget goes out partying with a "friend" who is always able to bring down her self-esteem with cutting remarks and ends up convinced that she is horribly prematurely aging. As a result, the next time she goes out she spends ages applying lots and lots of makeup, to the point that when she arrives her friend Tom tells her she looks like Barbara Cartland. In the sequel, she goes out to a fancy dinner with Mark Darcy and, in a hurry as ever, makes up in the cab on the way there. She can't work out why everyone at the party is looking at her strangely, til Mark sends her to the ladies' room and she finds that, in the dark, she confused plum eyeshadow with rouge... |

Ripple-chan from Anpanman is a living lipstick tube that loves to give the girls of Anpanland makeovers. Unfortunately, the dresses she gives them are a bit too flashy for everyday wear, and the makeup is this. However, at times, she can give an appropriate and beautiful amount of makeup with a less showy outfit (like she did with Dokinchan to make her look like a princess). | |

One late episode of The Powerpuff Girls (1998) had the Villain of the Week, "Mask Scara," fly around giving horribly trashy makeovers to everyone in Townsville as well as some of the billboards. Not as uncanny when it's supposed to be funny, but still really, really ugly. In fact, according to her backstory, she used to be CEO of a cosmetics company that promoted a look like this, and it was a fad for a while, but she thought it would last more than it did, and after the fad became passé she was out of business. | |

Are You Afraid of the Dark?: In the episode "The Tale Of The Many Faces" a struggling model named Emma visits a strange woman named Madame Visage who gives her some powder that apparently helps her get a modeling job. The powder didn't really do anything, considering that Emma was pretty to begin with. (It does seem to almost hypnotize those around her, who will drop everything to mention how pretty she is.) However, it's revealed that Madame Visage is a Vain Sorceress and the face powder has properties that keeps girls' faces looking younger and the skin smooth. She wants the faces to be in peak condition so that she can steal them and use them as her own face as a way to keep herself looking younger. Another episode called "The Tale Of The Mystical Mirror" features another Vain Sorceress named Mrs. Valenti who hires only in her words "beauties" to work in her clothing boutique and she is later revealed to regularly kill young girls in a ritual to keep herself eternally young and beautiful while she was actually centuries old. She gives her employees a compact filled with makeup, and she makes sure to keep her "youthful" face covered with so much makeup that her face looks like its made of plastic and she appears rather Stepford Smiler-ish. |

Queen Beatrix of Counselors and Kings is already a Cloudcuckoolander with an often disturbing Lack of Empathy, but the whole effect is not helped by her habit of wearing white wigs, heavy white makeup, and thick eyeshadow, lending her the appearance of an automaton or a reanimated corpse (and behind her back, it's often gossiped that she's forgotten she isn't one of those options). In the third book, she's explicitly noted to look both younger and more beautiful without her makeup though even that is an illusion. | |

Near the end of shooting the original Star Wars movie, Mark Hamill suffered a car wreck. For the remaining pick-up shots, George Lucas used a body double. Less than 2 years later, they were filming The Star Wars Holiday Special. To hide Hamill's facial scars and to match his look from the original film as much as possible, they used a lot of makeup, and it's very noticeable in close up shots. | |

An example occurs in Ouran High School Host Club when the host club dresses as women to cheer up Haruhi. They wear makeup that is hilariously overdone, wigs, and gaudy dresses. Likewise, every production done by the Zuka club features a lot of this. Likely this is because most of the characters already look like that... And it's actually lampshaded by the Host Club when they see Haruhi in it, claiming "IT'S TOO THICK!" |

Mimi Bobeck (played by Kathy Kinney) from The Drew Carey Show frequently wore more makeup than was necessary healthy for the proper brain functioning of those around her. Taken up a notch when special guest star Tammy Faye Bakker would play Mimi's mother, Tammy Bobeck, for two episodes. This was a running gag for a long, long time. One episode had her recovering from skin damage to her face and unable to wear makeup. Instead, she covered her face with a fan until she could get sat down and set up a small projector to shine strongly colored light on her face to replicate the effect of her normal makeup. Another episode had a follow-up to the earlier "Mini Mimi" gag where the woman she hired for the prank reveals that she kept the look afterward because it gave her Mimi's Kavorka Man powers. And of course, the cherry on this joke sundae is that the one time we see Mimi actually do makeup for another person, she does a very tasteful and restrained job. And of course, what department in the store did she first apply for? Cosmetics. |

Goodbye My Princess: The empress's make-up is off-putting by modern standards. Her shaved-off and painted-on eyebrows are especially odd. Truth in Television, though; that style of make-up was common in the Tang dynasty. | |

Ms. Chono in Yu-Gi-Oh! wears so much makeup, it may as well be a mask. After a run in with Yami Yugi, it breaks off like a porcelain mask. In the manga, he causes it so she'll never be able to cover up her perpetually angry face. In the anime, she has to apply on thick amounts just to look normal, and any time she tries to act mean her face will crack. |

In Batman (1989), the Joker wears makeup over his white skin that doesn't have the depth or shading of real skin and gives him a creepy mannequin look, not to mention the fact that his permanent grin-like disfigurement is still easily visible beneath it. | |

The Joker in Suicide Squad (2016) uses this to emphasize his sociopathic Monster Clown look. What's particularly notable about him is his lack of eyebrows... but yet, unlike eyebrow-less animated characters, such as Pitch Black, Joker's face still moves as though he has eyebrows, which majorly creeps some viewers out. | |

Doctor Who: The makeup worn by the Sisterhood of Karn. Worn as part of Gallifreyan formal wear in "The Deadly Assassin" — a whitish lipstick, pearlized white powder on the brows and cheekbones. Notably, more sympathetic characters are not shown wearing it. Used as literally as possible in "The Robots of Death", where everyone, male and female, wears makeup to make their faces resemble the Raygun Gothic robots of the setting — beings that cause Uncanny Valley in-universe. In particular, a delusional man who identifies with robots paints his face to more closely resemble the stylised faces of the robots — literally using makeup to make himself resemble a being that causes an in-universe uncanny valley effect. Helen A imposes this on all the citizens of Terra Alpha as part of her Stepford Smiler dictatorship in "The Happiness Patrol". Done intentionally with the actresses playing the Weeping Angels, to make them look really creepy. It works. "The Time of the Doctor": Tasha Lem wears stylized makeup, most prominently including a raccoon-like stripe across her eyes, that emphasizes how detached she seems. |

The League of Gentlemen has Papa Lazarou. His face really is black and white like a minstrel, and he has to paint over it with makeup to appear normal. Well as normal as a demonic, polygamist blackface minstrel who runs a Circus of Fear, can look anyway. Papa learned the makeup skills to cover his minstrel face from his various wives. | |

Hey Arnold! At least two episodes feature Helga's older sister Olga break down crying so much that her makeup runs down her face and it looks like she's crying black tears. Another episode has Helga give herself a makeover, in order to make herself look more girly for Rhonda's party. When her mother opens the bathroom door and sees the finished product she gasps and faints, causing Helga to say "Maybe I should've gone a bit lighter on the eye shadow." |

In LazyTown, the two main heroes are played by human actors and most of the other characters by rubber puppets — the antagonist, Robbie Rotten, is designed in such a way that watching him leaves the primal parts of your brain wondering which of those two things he is. On an intellectual level he's obviously a human in heavy makeup, but that makeup gives him the rubbery look of the puppet characters even despite the expressiveness of his face. | |

In Bridge of Birds, this is apparently the standard of beauty - among the many, many preparations Li Kao claims a beautiful woman makes every morning are "checks to make sure that her makeup has hardened into an immovable mask" and "looks into the mirror for any visible sign of humanity, and is relieved to find none". | |

Pavi's faces in Repo! The Genetic Opera have a shade of this to them. It helps that they're skinned off of various women and hooked onto his face with clips. Features like eyebrows and lip color are pretty clearly redone in... post-production, as it were. Blind Mag's makeup in her first appearance, too. It's partly because of her "Uh-Oh" Eyes, but the heavy eye-makeup and impossibly long fake lashes don't help matters. Subverted, though, in that Mag is one of only two good-hearted people in the entire movie, and the makeup is probably imposed on her- when she's viewed in flashback before she was lured by GeneCo, her eye makeup looks much more natural. |
