Aww … now this is really embarrassing … Hottie Bradley Cooper was all smiles on the red carpet of the LA premiere of his new film Valentine’s Day earlier this week here in Hollywood, CA but he was totally unaware that he was only wearing half a face of make-up. He, very likely, was not aware of the faux pas before he hit the carpet but once those unforgiving flashbulbs started going off, well, this is what he looked like:
Attending the premiere of Valentine’s Day with the likes of Jessica Alba, Julia Roberts and Demi Moore last night, Bradley Cooper was probably expecting to be overshadowed by the Hollywood beauties. But as he stepped onto the red carpet of the star-studded Los Angeles screening last night, The Hangover star soon found that he was the centre of attention. The 35-year-old appeared to be suffering from a fake tan malfunction, with only about 2/3rds of his face appearing bronzed. In comparison, the skin under his chin stubble was his normal colour. Clearly hoping not to look too pale under the bright lights of the cameras, it appeared Cooper had been rather heavy-handed when applying his fake tan. But when it came to applying the tan on the lower half of his face, perhaps Cooper didn’t want to put the products on his three days worth of facial hair. While Cooper had clearly made an effort with his dapper grey suit, his smart appearance was overshadowed by his two-tone face.
Aww … bless his heart. Actually, I do not believe that this ill worn make-up is actually fake tanner … it’s very likely just make-up foundation to even out his skin for the high res photos that are taken on the red carpet. As far as embarrassing red carpet malfunctions go, this one isn’t too bad … geeze, even with a two-toned face Mr. Cooper still looks good ;)

Well, in this day and age, it is becoming little by little more acceptable for men to wear makeup. Still, a lot of people do find it weird. I don’t understand why he would, though. And what is up with these makeup artists? How come they never apply the neck area? It drives me absolutely nuts. You see the face darker than the neck, like some kind of halo. “Baby I can see your halo, and it’s, uh, your face…but what about your neck…?”
Did he not look in a mirror before he left the house? He is becoming less and less hawt to me…. which makes me sad :(
Honestly, I didn’t even notice until I stared that the arrows where you pointed it out!
he is still fine, makeup error or not.
I don’t care, he is still the hottest man alive LOL
I don’t know if looking in the mirror would have helped. Some make up changes in photographs. Most likely it there wasn’t that big of a contrast in real life. (If you have a big event where you know pictures will be taken of you, do a run through of your make-up and take pictures! Polaroids work well.)
Weirdly, it doesn’t look so bad on the first photo. His smile make up for the make-up malfunction :)
I dont see anything wrong?
I don’t get it. lol
On the photo on the left it doesn’t look that bad, that’s probably why he didn’t see it in the mirror. It’s embarrassing but he still looks good.
its not makeup, you dummies! he obviously had a full beard and was more than likely somewhere where he was in the sun. a mans skin wont tan under a beard! the part of his face that is darker is tan, the skin where his beard was is not! common sense!!!!!!!!!!!!
@david — LOL!!!!!!
David,
that is what I thought originally but his ear is ghostly white. So it is either makeup or fake tanner. Use your common sense.
@Jess — His ear is “ghostly white” in the second photo because of a flash … you can see the bright light shining off parts of his ear … PROBABLY the same flash that exposed the two-tone nature. In the first photo his ear is only slightly lighter than his forehead.
I’m with David, I think it was a tan line from a beard. My fiance gets odd lines almost exactly like that all the time when he doesn’t shave and we’re out in the sun.
@Fae — I don’t know why people don’t understand, celebs wear make-up on the red carpet, on TV, in movies and he is only wearing half a face of make-up. It’s a mistake, a funny one, but it’s not half a tan.
