What Uma does with her face is Uma's business.

Uma Thurman has a face. Everyone’s been talking about that face. Now, it’s ready to talk back.

Uma Thurman is a magnificent creature, obviously. She appeared on the a red carpet with some slightly different make-up the other day, and the world went full Renee Zellweger on her with a tirade of “What happened to Uma’s face?” headlines.

The 44-year-old Kill-Bill star has just responded — with her typical grace and dignity. #Uma’sfaceforpresident

 

Uma told USA Today host Savannah Guthrie that her controversial look was the result of experimenting with her makeup.

Yes, that’s right, MAKE UP. Not the ageing process, cosmetic surgery, interference from extraterrestrial beings, or some form of youth lotion made from Reese Witherspoons’ placenta.

This is what Uma’s face looked like on the day everyone started talking:

 

“I guess nobody liked my makeup,” she said.

“I’ve been doing this for years and years and years. And people say things nice and they say things mean.”

That’s right. With one swift and perfectly rational sentence Uma managed to shutdown the entirety of the Hollywood press.

She also went on to label the accusations for exactly what they were: “nasty”.

“You take the good with the bad,” she conceded.

Whatever Uma’s face looks like at any time, it’s beautiful. And the lovely mouth she has says smart things. Nice one, Thurman.

Flick through to see how Uma Thurman’s face has changed over the past 20 years…

I'm going to disagree with this title because it's not just her business. It's a bit rich when celebrities endorse and promote skin care and beauty products and then are shocked at any negative feedback regarding their skin. Same as if I was happy to accept money for a weightloss regime yet put on weight, don't sign the papers to sell a product and expect no judgement.

Yes it is. Just don't lie about it. It only feeds conversation.

She didn't. She's clearly just not wearing eye make up in the "different looking" photo.

I think she had surgery to remove the bags under her eyes...and she also changed the shape and colour of her eyebrows

She has had a lot of surgery on her eyes. One eye has always been slightly bigger than the other but her recent plastic surgery has exaggerated the difference. She ALSO made the sensible choice not to wear eye makeup and this is entirely appropriate to avoid infection following surgery. But the public response to her face was definitely because of the surgery and not because of the lack of eye shadow and/or mascara. She doesn't gain any respect by lying about the surgery.
