Bollywood make up

Tonight our hosts in our gourmand dinner club "The Bite Club" had Bollywood as a theme, so as the good guest I am I tried to do my best with the things I had at home :)
I am nowhere near the beauty of those Indian women, but I still felt very beautiful. Ever since I was a child I have loved those wonderful India-women with their jewels and make up. I think we have all admired them...
 I was even more brown in real life, the picture didn't make it justice


And yeah, the food was sooo amazing. My belly is more of a balloon now, filled with lots of dishes I can't pronounce :)

    Came on "Anonymous" Think about it, its not racist. If you are realistic most of te indian women have a skin colour browner than Adoras.
    It could never been racist shes doing like an honour

    Its like when she makes her face look like a gost >.< xD but the other way round

    How's that racist? She's doing it as a tribute to the people of India. She's not trying to mock them.

    P.s. Adora you look so amazing in these photo's! Probably more amazing in person! I am very jealous of how pretty you are! I really love your eyes!

    I'm so pathetically boring because I don't have green hair and a unicorn horn. Eye roll.

    Painting your face brown isn't a tribute. If you were brown you'd think it's disgustingly lame. How would you feel if a dark Indian woman painted her face white and wore blue contacts to the opera: it would be pretty stupid right? Same idea.


    I love Adora, but this is just not so cool.

    omg, this is weird. You look amazingly beautyful, but it feels like looking at a different person with the natural tent and hair colour.
    Who are you? And what have you done with adora? ;)

    A lot of women wear bronzer/fake tan, so why the 'lame/racist' comments? It's just a bit of bronzer...

    @Anonymous'es: The dots on my arm - is actually my VEINS popping out! I have very external veins.

    About the "tan". I don't think the india make up would be made justice with my pale look, I wanted to look like the real thing. I had inspitarion from this picture:
    http://www.abc.net.au/reslib/200809/r290645_1242789.jpg

    My heritage is Spanish, so my mother (and my whole family on that side) looks like a mix between spanish and indian women (men) with darker skincolor, brown eyes and black hair. I too get VERY brown if I let the sun come near me.

    hmm.. you did a fantastic job with the outfit and make-up, but I like you more "goth" ;)

    how did you make your hair brown? or is a wig?

    Adora,
    This is the most beautiful I've seen you yet! I LOVE this look!!! I love this tribute to the Indian culture.
    I bet your evening was fun!

    As for anonymous, you're just a jealous hater, who hides behind your anonymity. People like you are called trolls. Go find something more productive to do with your time than to criticize people.

    Yes, today I will dress like a swede, paint my face white, wear all black and grey clothes, wear a blonde wig and act like an ignoramus who can't learn anything new.

    Good plan? Yes, ok.

    I dont think she is that 'brown'?? I think it looks like Adora with a slight bronzing - a couple of shades darker than her normal. Gorgeous, and definatly not offensive! I too want to know if she dyed her hair or a wig :D I love it! PS Still wanting to see wedding Pics!! x x

    I don't think any of you have a right to say it's not offensive that Adora browned her skin to play dress up as an Indian woman unless you actually ARE an Indian woman. How the hell would you know? You can't speak for a different race.

    I know, and it IS offensive, so believe and deal with it.

    I'm an Indian and I think Adora is very beautiful.And if she had not painted brown face she could not exactly replicate the Indian style. I do not think it racism.Think that this racism is stupid!
