Tamar doesn’t appear to be bleaching at all to me, but the shades of foundation she’s using in conjunction with all the heavy contouring…goodness gracious it’s so over the top as much as I like her I think it makes her look a bit like a Muppet; everything washed out with exaggerated eyes and lips. She’s an attractive young lady, though and doesn’t need all of that… you can see on her show when she has down time (vacations/rehearsals) she’s wearing little to no make-up and looks normal and cute– and not bleached out- although she’s clearly had her nose tweaked a little bit. However, it doesn’t look bad at all on her. I think small cosmetic tweaks aren’t out of the ordinary for the modern woman, although I would never do it myself.

I do also recall during the first season of BFV, Tamar was going through a hardcore “bronzing”/spray tan phase wile in Los Angeles: I guess she’s on the opposite end of the spectrum now with her make-up artists blowing her out as they do?

That being said, I am at least happy that she hasn’t begun altering her body with implants. In my day being curvy meant you had a figure like Lola Falana, Pam Grier, or Bernadette Stannis from Good Times, and NATURALLY so. Whatever happened to the days of The Commodores’ iconic “Brickhouse”, the woman who measured 36-24-36?

I think what young women are doing to themselves today to achieve the current (and non-realistic) visions of physical perfection via these implantations is nothing short of madness. I often wonder if (God forbid) these women end up with many health complications as a result of butchering their bodies like this? At the very least, I imagine there will be some, who, at a later point in life, will regret what they’ve done to themselves even if it’s just a matter of aesthetics. Imagine being 70 year old trying to maintain such an exaggerated figure? These surgery trends we’re witnessing are overkill, and I’ll be glad when we see the end of it all. This craziness is doing nothing but pushing young women further and further towards body dysmorphic disorder before our very eyes.

Tamar definitely had surgery. It looks like she had her nose done. I’m not sure about the skin bleaching thing but I will say that you can’t look at one picture from her youth and decide.

PS I lover Tamar, when’s the album coming out?
