What is with Lauren German's face?

I know it's an alien concept for you but it's called synthesizing information to reach a conclusion. Aka, critical thinking. Let me explain. You can't take two words out of a statement and apply a meaning that wasn't there. Well, you can, but then you'd be either misconstruing the meaning or outright lying for your own purposes. That's either mindless stupidity or willful deceit.

wowthose are her real lips and real eyebrows. She used to pluck her brows more, but these are the same features she had as a child. I posted a pic of her (from Instagram) as a child with the exact same eyebrows and lips. If you thnk she's had botox, I think you're grasping. She clearly takes care of herself and people with botox can still move their eyebrows. It's a fallacy that they can't. Botox relaxes the muscles, doesn't make them immovable. Unless you've gone way overboard, and then it's obvious, like when Nicole Kidman admitted she was addicted to botox and you could tell by the angry bird look. Lauren doesn't have that look, and is also capable of scowling, she just doesn't do it a lot.

Yeah, I'm not understanding why some people think she's unattractive. I don't get that at all. But I've heard people say that about Mrs. Obama as well, which I don't understand either. To each their own I guess.
Lauren's brows are awesome. -

I agree, different people have different preferences, but to try to impose one's subjective preferences on to others makes no sense. I really don't get all the hate Lauren gets either. I find it tiring. All I can figure is it's jealousy. There are very few people fortunate enough to have her features.
Despite individual preferences, you learn these rules of the "ideal" in art class, based on The Golden Meanespecially in illustration class for things like comic book art, and Lauren has these "ideals" covered. It's crazy to try to find fault when there really is none. It's just superficial criticism, and simply unkind, to pick on someone for having a skin condition. I don't get it. Maybe people think celebrities aren't people too. Either that or else they're perfectly fine walking up and telling someone with acne that they're ugly? I don't know, like I said, I don't get it at all, other than maybe it's a sign of the times?

I think you should chill. I expressed my opinion. I don't know if she uses botox or not, but the fact that her eyebrows completely lack movement, hence giving her a quite wooden expression, disturbs me. What are you going to do about that?

I still think its because her hair is always pulled back into a pony, and that's not her best look.
Maybe I didn't make myself clear. I have an issue with the total lack of movement. I don't care about the shape of her eyebrows, nor the color, nor the plucking or anything else shape related. Again: I find disturbing the total lack of movement in the forefront area. She never looks surprised, angry or sad.
Also it should be noted that I never expressed any kind of judgement on her beauty or lack thereof. Nor I insulted or attacked her or anybody else, but you all felt so threatened by a total stranger's opinion to run en masse to defend the damsel in distress It's funny!

I think the reasons for her restricted facial expressions is because she's playing the stoic cop. Maybe a little too much. She seems to lighten up when she's not on duty. -

Those are NOT her real eyebrows. They are quite definitely drawn on.
Look at the cheesecake pinup picture which looks like it was taken 20 years ago. Her eyebrows are antenna thin. Look at the picture you posted of her with the necklace. Drawn on and filled in to look thicker.
Her lower lip also looks odd. Like lip plump injections. Again, the pinup picture her lower lip is not as big. And why is there a line across her lower lip? It's like they filled in lipstick past her lipline.

So like I already said, for a while, she plucked her eyebrows a lot thinner, when that was the fashion. Now, she leaves them natural, which is the fashion, but of course, she probably has them threaded and fills in with eyebrow pencil like actresses do, and many American women do as well who want to look their best. I do. I guess that makes me eligible for body shaming too?
Oh, I have also gotten botox for migraines, and I know for a fact, it does not freeze the forehead or make it impossible to move my eyebrows. In fact, I don't like how it relaxes the inner corners of my eyebrows down (one of the reasons I've corrected that with threading and brow liner), but that's the price I have to pay to have fewer migraines.

That was 30 years ago! LOL. My hair and eyebrows were thicker then too!
She's pushing 40 and overplucked her eyebrows back in the day which is why she has to fill them in now.

They're filled in because they're sparse. They do that in Hollywood. It's called makeup. IOW, not real.
