Fans flocked to the blockbuster Wicked over the weekend after its Nov. 22 release, but some were left wildly disappointed by Ariana Grande’s glamor.
They all have the same complaint about Ariana’s makeup malfunction in the musical film, mercilessly mocking what appears to be a strip of dark lashes.
The Shameless Podcast, which is “for smart people who love dumb things,” pointed out the problem in their review of the movie Wicked, which they released on Saturday.
Musician Eilish Gilligan said she had “two qualms” with the film: the color and the “eyelashes” that Ariana, who plays Glinda Upland, appears to wear throughout the film.
‘Why are you wearing a strip of eyelashes that haven’t been cut to the shape of your eyes?’ Eiilsh asked.
“She has blonde eyebrows, she’s very blonde,” she continued, as her makeup was otherwise ethereal.
The other hosts mused that the bold lashes might be part of Ariana’s non-negotiables, as they’d never seen the pop star with a more subtle lash.
The podcast hosts said they were cut from the movie because they felt false eyelashes shouldn’t exist in The Wizard of Oz.

Some viewers compared the film to the third season of Bridgerton, which was criticized by fans who thought all of the show’s characters looked too modern with eyelash extensions and nails.
However, not everyone agreed, with some people explaining that the entire film must be a fantasy.
“So it’s an imaginary world that has a city of porcelain citizens and mouse royalty, but you can’t wear uncut black eyelashes?” If those things exist, why can’t Glinda’s eyelashes be like that naturally? one commenter asked.
