I also see a fuller upper lip, a more defined chin, and more slanted eyes. And to think that she's one of the most "natural" looking women there!

Yeah, the eyes do look more slanted but I don't know how one does that with plastic surgery.  Also, I know brows can be reshaped and filled in but they look really different from her original ones.  The lips look the same to me, I think the lip gloss helped, lol.  Plus, she's smiling.  Depending on how old that picture is, I was wondering if her chin is more defined because she lost some "baby fat."  Or, it could very well have been plastic surgery.  

The chin and eyes are because she's smiling in the second picture. The brows and lips are makeup. She may have gotten a nose job but it seems to be a very slight one, or she lost weight, which she clearly did, or just grew up. She looks very young in the first pic. She's still got baby fat. 

I don't think her eyebrows look that different. Mine look more different with and without makeup than her do.

Has it occurred to anyone that the mom reported her missing in mid November, which is about the time The Bachelor finishes up filming?  This story is silly and makes no sense.  

OMG! Arie kidnapped her and has her locked in his basement!!!!

This is so obviously just a publicity stunt. Gotta give her props for going the extra mile.

Yes, I just think she got a year older, lost five pounds for the show and started using a heavy concealing foundation plus lots of brow pencil and eye liner.  This is why I complain when some girls are glam-shamed (heh) for wearing too much make-up and others are praised for being so "natural."  I think they're all wearing gobs of make-up, the producers  probably even insist on  it.

 Agreed. Even the nose tip looks longer and the cheekbones bigger when someone smiles.

Ditto. 

 

ALmost Everyone’s skin looks awful under tv lights without help:  shiny/splotchy and red.  (OLive toned folks like Vanessa have a distinct advantage here, and probably could get away with BB Cream and powder) So everyone is wearing globs of makeup, including Arie.  Bekah clearly wears gobs of makeup, and false eyelashes.  (There is someone who I dont think is wearing false eyelashes this season... Tia maybe? Here eyelashes are naturally dark, so she has an advantage there, but her eyelashes looks spaced out the way mine do!).  

I agree she just smiled, lost some of her baby features with age and weight loss, and defined her features with makeup. 

I still admire her for showing up without the usual highlights, extensions and waves.  She lookd different, if still quite glam.

It’s not a matter of how much makeup in most cases, it’s how it’s applied.

Everyone who works under studio lighting needs makeup.  There is not a woman out there who needs stage, drag, or Kardashian makeup in day to day life, or on camera.   Beckah uses subtle colors and non matte foundation to enhance her beauty.  Take Marikh-She has those ugly Instagram brows, is very matte, and probably contours/highlights, and probably follows the Kim Kardashian method.  That doesn’t enhance natural beauty, it distorts it. 

Beckah looks like Beckah.  Marikh looked like a Kardashian wannabe.

Ashley I was an example of makeup abuse. Onion Ashley was beautifully made up.

"Instagram brows" is an accurate name for them.  I hate them.  Ashley I bugs the crap out of me with those brows of hers.  I did see some beauty expert on tv a couple weeks ago who said this brow thing was going out of style.  I sure hope so.   

I agree that Marikh looks like a wannabe Kardashian and that's a shame.

I agree there's some wild overuse of make-up going on today, particularly with the Groucho eyebrows, but I think the biggest difference between the two Ashley's is that Ashley Onion is, as we've been calling it "Nordic," and Ashley Ioconetti is Italian.500721308.jpg?w=700&h=394&fit=crop&crop=

I’m not sure I get it.  Both are naturally beautiful, but onion Ashley enhances her beauty, and crybaby Ashley distorts hers.  Nothing to do with ethnicity.  If onion Ashley did drag makeup, she would look bad to me as well.

I'm just talking about naturally black brows on crybaby Ashley.  I'll admit she loves her make-up, I seem to remember her carrying it to BIP in a huge suitcase.

Here's what I think is interesting, Mu Shu.  I just looked up Ashley Onion on Images and was struck by how very much she looks like Kendall.  They could be sisters.

But she fills her eyebrows in.  They wouldn’t be so heavy looking if she didn’t. 

I just remembered Ashley S asking if she was allowed to shoot her own teammates at the zombie paintball gala.  Yes please!

anyway, Beckah is 22.  That’s probably the photo taken when she first got her license, probably at 16.  I kept the same photo from 1997 until 2013, so they’re not often updated.

(There is someone who I dont think is wearing false eyelashes this season... Tia maybe? Here eyelashes are naturally dark, so she has an advantage there, but her eyelashes looks spaced out the way mine do!). 

I definitely think Tia wears false eyelashes. They usually look like spider legs! But in this last ep she wasn't wearing them. She looked absolutely stunning. Her false eyelashes just weren't right for her imo.

This reminded me of when Chelsea's false eyelashes used to always be falling off her eye in every ep and it cracked me up every time.

I saw Arie on "Live with Kelly&Ryan" this morning (they are in the Bahamas, I guess Arie got a free trip).  He always seems so bland, pleasant but bland.  When they asked him if he had found true love, he gave a rather evasive answer(I thought), he just said something like "I am Happy", but he didn't seem overly enthused or exclaiming that he had found "The One".

the spider eyeleashes are terrifying. the only one whose lashes are worse than this is that girl LACE who appears to wear 4 pairs of fake lashes at the same time. CRAZY. it was not until these 2 that I started noticing wacky eyelashes

It's so easy to call something a publicity stunt (and pat yourself on the back for it). Let's break down the planning. On 11/16/2017 Bekah's mother reports her missing in little Humboldt county (pop. 135K). The plan is to make sure she stays on the missing persons list for over 2 months, well into the season. (Last night was episode 6.) Someone looking at the police department's Facebook page will see her photo on the list, recognize her from the show and notify the PD, who take her off the list. The local paper, the North Coast Journal, will report this story. The national media will pick it up and run with it. Voilà!

Bekah and her mom would have to be clairvoyant evil geniuses to concoct that scheme and expect it to work. I doubt they are.

I agree. It looks like she lost about 10 pounds, is wearing nicely done makeup, has a better haircut, is smiling, and — probably most important— has way better lighting.

Saw the commercial with Kaitlyn and Shawn last night for whipped cream.  This is the first time I've seen it so either it's new or I am late.  But she looked completely different. I couldn't place her until I saw him. 

they were in a commercial? <gag> I couldnt stand her. but she is very very pretty.

  • Love 1

I thought Shawn was the one that had changed more, as far as the commercial was concerned.  He just looked less roided.  I commented to Dear Husband at the time that all must be forgiven between those two and the powers that be.  They’ve been absent from nearly all the post-Bachelor experiences since she spoiled her own season.

She did an episode with Hailey whatshername for finding a designer wedding dress last month on TLC.  So something is up with them and the show.

I thought hey, that guy was on The Bachelor...couldn’t place who he was, though. And I had NO CLUE who the woman was—never saw her on my TV in my life. So put my vote down for both looked different but Kaitlyn—if it can be believed that was really her, lol—was COMPLETELY unrecognizable. I think she had a whole new face!!

Arie Luyendyk Jr. discusses S22 of The Bachelor:

He looks so much better in that video!  His face and neck are the same color and he doesn't have green streaks down his cheeks.  Either he really did have the flu while filming or The Bachelor's make-up people should be fired and replaced by the person doing this little inter-web show.

I bet he has more of a ruddy complexion, or maybe was flushed from being sick, and they overdid the green primer to offset it.  I used to work with a woman who did that, and it made her look bizarre...she would have been better off looking more red!

Personally I was never impressed with Arie and always thought him highly overrated.  I thought he was a sloppy kisser on Emily's season, not to mention not very bright. So I'm highly amused by the reactions to this season. I know he was thirsty for this gig but he should have continued to stay out of the franchise where the goodwill he built from Emily's season would always remain. Because the shine always comes off once a person goes from contestant to lead. I think that's what the other overrated tool, a.k.a Peter realized and why so far he's staying away. Of course inevitably the lure of attention will drag him back and sure enough, as soon as he's the lead, the shine of that halo some placed around him will be off.

My local news has been showing Chris Soules at every newscast. His trial starts next week but this latest newscast didn't say which day. The news person did say he could get five years, which I hope he does. I laughed at the video because the local camera person zoomed in on Chris sitting in court and the camera got away from him so viewers got a full maybe 10-20 seconds of a close up of his ear. I actually LOL'd, his ear filled my entire tv screen.

Don't know if this is the right place but could not see a better option.

Why are they saying that the finale will be 2 hours on Monday and 2 hours on Tuesday and yet ABC has regular scheduled programming for Tuesday and Monday has another regular show at 10:00?  Anyone?  Are they really trying to kidnap us for 6 hours a week?  Assholes.

UPDATE - Apparently this week is just fantasy suite and next week is 3 hours on Monday and 1 hour on Tuesday.  For cripes sake!  Not going to bother to watch tonight.

I feel bad for the fans who want to go into the finale unspoiled because it seems like you'd basically have to hide in your house with no TV, radio, newspaper, internet or contact with the outside world to avoid these spoilers. WTF? Did the show just give up? This could be a legit "most shocking ending ever" if it weren't being broadcast pretty much everywhere. I can't remember an ending being outed the way this one seems to be by major media outlets. It's weird.

I could see them not caring as much about predictable seasons being spoiled, but they are hyping this one with 5 hours of TV time, you'd think they'd want to keep the secret a little better.

I don't think the show gave up.  I think that all the talk about the most shocking ending ever meant that the non preferred media (everyone but People) decided to grab headlines.

The ratings for this season has been awful. Viewers simply did not care about Arie and his "journey to find love". My guess is the producers figured letting the cat out of the bag will draw in some eyeballs that to this point haven't given a crap. Just saying it will be the most shocking finale ever wouldn't do the trick because Chris Harrison says that every damn season. Putting this out there will have a few people who are simply there for some good old reality television drama, interested. Hell, it's worked on my friend. She hasn't watched a minute of this season and doesn't care but she's like hell yeah, she'll be present with her popcorn and wine, after I told her

about the big switcheroo ending.
