This without make up scene, whoever thought of it, be it Purvis, Wade, Barbara, Michael, Daniel or that million dollar writer, was one totally nut stroke of genius.

Just think about it : most girls use heavy make up (thought not my wife, but many of my ex did), and we only see them without make up in intimity, very close relationship. It instantly etablishes a closer rapport / bond (pardon the pun) to the male audience with her, like if we actually had the relationship ourselves. So it pays off when she dies.

I think there is one craig scene in there that does the same with the female audience. (or gay audience). But which one ?

This is a hopeful sign for a woman that hates to wear/apply/smudge makeup!

Ohh wait, you have to look like Eva Green for that rule to apply :)

Not at all. You have you own, and quite lovely look too!

My thoughts are simply that she is blessed with equisite skin and it seems a dire tragedy to cover or conceal it.

I'd gladly sit in a shower, in full tux, with her or any of the Bond Girls here on CBn.

It's worth the dry-cleaning or valet service.

Quite right 003! I second that notion!!!

In the Martin Campbell movies, many of the beautiful women are covered in paint, just watch goldeneye : Famke Janssen is at her ugliest, her make up just destroy her beauty.

I just gotta say that's absolutely adorable 003 and when a girl reads it at 45 minutes past midnight when she's half dead and hair's still wet from the shower, she just wants to go back to the shower... :)

Darkpath - gotta say that I'll third it then even though I'm a gal. Amazing to find two true gentlemen in teh same thread when there barely are any at all these days! Kudos!

The shower, chocolates and dry-cleaning of your gown/dress are on me in Vegas Miss Brand. Not to mention the photo op. I'm sure there'll be many a camera when that time comes.

:P

You never fail to amuse a lady, 003. You're quite the gentleman, I must admit. :) And I would be honored, looks like Vegas would do far more than just compensate for the fact that I'll be a Bondless girl come May prom (sighs). Compensation is an understatement and you're making me quite impatient... Let's see if you can guess my favorite chocolates. *adds photo op, dress dry-cleaning, chocolates, and shower in addition to the tickets, Gala mock-tail, and shopping moments already on the list*

I also thought Vesper was striking without makeup, but there's something else I liked more--and it's so very Fleming-esque.

I'm talking about the one slight "flaw" in her beauty (like Domino's limp, Honey's nose, etc.)--specifically, from certain angles, it looks like her two front teeth aren't exactly aligned. I thought it was sexy as hell, myself. I hope to God she doesn't get them fixed.

I hadn't consciously registered that detail. Thank you for giving me another excellent reason to see CR again!.. not that I really needed a reason beyond, "Because it's there."

For us 'less make-up is better' fans, Eva's front page photo banner at her gallery page website reflects our desires. See it at:

Enjoy :)

Are you guys sure its the makeup? Of course, I always felt she was very beautifull in that scene (and also in the elevator, right before the fight in the stairs).

There are a few other nice pics, especially under 'most viewed'.

Looks like a pretty nice 'Vesper and Bond go swimming' scene was cut from the movie. Based on the book it would have come during/after his recovery.

At the start of the scene where Bond gets his tailored DJ, we see Vesper with "no makeup", before she starts applying the dark eyeshadow, lipstick etc.

Who else things she looks far better without the makeup, far more fanciable.


After seeing it for the 2nd time, I would also add her scene on the beach with Bond also shows off her beauty minus makeup. I'm surprised no one has mentioned that. She looks wonderful there.

Without a doubt, the best she looked was without makeup. I don't understand why they didn't tone down the makeup the rest of the movie. There were some points where she wasn't really attractive at all, IMO.

Yes, it was in amongst the yacht and beach scenes following his recovery. Hopefully it will appear on the DVD!
