Seriously. If that's an example of Stevie looking "bad," then the woman has no worries.

I mean, we're talking about a 56-year old woman wearing very little makeup (with, seemingly, no major plastic surgery)... how is she supposed to look? Like a fresh-scrubbed 18 year old? Talk about unrealistic expectations!

When she's not wearing makeup (such as those "Silent Night" pics), her eyes are very small and her face has little color. Wow... big surprise there!
But we act as if Stevie suddenly becomes Medusa when she's not wearing makeup, and as if it's somehow proof that she no longer looks good when she does.

Isn't the whole point of wearing makeup, to enhance one's beauty and divert attention from one's flaws?
And, when on stage, to combat the harshness of the stage lights, as well as the other factors I've already cited.

I think one can still be a beautiful woman, while also not looking "perfect"... but maybe that's just me.
