I’ll quote a wise man’s post from another recent thread: Second guy sounds like a real doofus though. All someone has to do is post “Paige here” to counter your argument. The makeup team might really be that bad. Well, I've watched a few of the publicity interviews for the Paige movie, and in most of them she's got just about the same amount of makeup on. So it might not all be on the WWE makeup staff. I imagine they ask the talent what they want, and then apply it rather unsubtly. For example, the dark lipstick that Charlotte started wearing as she turned heel - that's going to be her choice, not the choice of some makeup artists. Regarding the Iiconics, they're a lot of fun, but they get treated as nothing more than a comedy spot, to rile up the crowd and then get beaten. Similar to how the WWE wastes Elias, really. I hope that they have a great showing in the Elimination Chamber match, and aren't just there for a 'lol, they got eliminated in seconds' gag.

I just wish they were still The Iconic Duo.
“The IIconics” sounds so f***ing stupid man. Plus the original name came from the whole “Name a more Iconic Duo... I’ll wait” meme. Which really fit their gimmick.

I wouldnt be surprise the dark lipstick is WWE's choice.I remember they can get very petty and controlling over character looks,including haircuts.

Paige has her own line of makeup, and the lipstick that Charlotte has been wearing is called "Charlotte", so that's probably all there is to that. Plus, dark makeup=edgey, and she's a heel now

I was just watching a cover of this by the Cybertronic Spree. It was glorious as was this song and that show. I was watching that earlier as well, awesome band. They're fantastic live. I saw them a year or two ago.

One thing bothering me about the IIconics’ booking is that they’re the only true tag team in the traditional sense in the division, and they should have that as an advantage to be one of the favorites to win the titles. But for now, they’re being treated as jobbers who will probably be one of the first out at EC.
Likely they will get the titles at some point, but hopefully not as a complete afterthought.

I don't really get the complaints with WWE's make up. I have never really had much of a strong opinion on how they wear it. It does effectively make them look more animated. It's never really hindered my experience watching them. For the most part the make up matches the persona behind it. My only problem with the makeup is that so much of the fanbase has no idea how cosmetics work and think everyone's had plastic surgery. Many fans don't seem to understand the concept of push up bras and insist everyone's always getting breast implants... (not that women on the roster haven't just that people literally claim people got the surgery even though they were on TV literally the day before)

Yeah, the women pretty blatantly have input on their makeup... the unsubtle bit is also because it's like stage preforming you lay it on thick so even people in the cheap seats can see.

I always find the stage makeup argument questionable because there's no noticeable makeup on the guys. I get that they don't want their manly men wearing makeup necessarily but it would seem odd if they used the logic on the women and not the men.
It's entirely possible that the Smackdown women are asking for those terrible makeup jobs but I'm not convinced that people in the cheap seats enter the conversation.

These two are my favorite duo since Edge & Christian. Bullies who don't realize that they themselves are huge dorks. It's amazing.

Were they good in NXT? I haven't seen much on the main roster in their promos that is good. Most of it is just obnoxious and ridiculous. I get that that's the point but it ends up not being entertaining, it just comes off as mean girls version 23423523. It's nice that they're genuinely friends and have that to draw on. Really they should play that up more and not just with each interfering in the other's matches.
