I haven’t been watching Girls this season, but I watched the first season and Shoshanna was my favorite by far. That may have been down to the writing, her character was the “nice” and “normal” one, but I’ve been surprised by how different the actress is. It seems like I see Zosia Mamet on Go Fug Yourself more often than not. She usually wears some atrocious outfit that goes beyond “funky” and “bohemian” into just “bizarre” territory. At least she’s not cookie-cutter and she expresses herself as an individual. She seems like she’s fun, you know?
That’s why I guess I’m not too surprised to see that she’s dyed her hair blonde and is sporting some pretty extreme, unflattering makeup. It could be the bad makeup that’s throwing her off more than the blonde color, which doesn’t look suited to her.
This is the kind of makeup job you would do in high school and think looked hot. Bright, smeary red lips, overdone heavy liquid eyeliner and too-big eyebrows. I suspect that she wouldn’t look as strange without the makeup and photos bear that out. She was seen exiting the show with bare lips and she looks pretty and fresh-faced here.
There’s something really sweet about this girl, she doesn’t seem pretentious at all, but maybe she’s just a fabulous actress. She’s very convincing in the role.
In comparison here she is with brown hair. Still making the same makeup mistakes with that shade of lip color, but at least she looks more like her. She’s so pretty on Girls too, it’s kind of shocking to see her like this.
