Skin becomes more pale as we age, because we have less pigment, and Stevie has a pale complexion to begin with. Combine that with the harsh klieg lights, and all you'd see are eyes and lips.
So she wears the foundation.

When you see her in candid pics, wearing the type of makeup I assume she always wears off-stage, it's not thick or pancaked.

I really don't understand what the big deal is, but then, I usually don't.

Oh, puhleeze.

Look at the photos out there of Stevie without pancake make-up and then compare them to when she's wearing it. Heck, just watch LIB, she's wearing so much that she looks like she had her make-up done at Uncle Larry's Funeral Parlor and Mortuary.
