Was Meghan Markle Really Snubbed in the E.L.F. Cosmetics Commercial During the Super Bowl?
As enthusiasts anxiously await the Super Bowl, one topic has been stirring up debate and speculation: the inclusion (or lack thereof) of Meghan Markle in a commercial for E.L.F. Cosmetics featuring some of her Suits co-stars. The initial reports suggested she was 'snubbed,' but the true story is often more complex and less black and white.
The Unforeseen Challenges
The problem arose due to unforeseen circumstances. When Meghan Markle arrived for the commercial shoot, 82 of the makeup artists did not realize the magnitude of work required to make her look presentable. Her skin, described as resembling the 'moon all potholes,' posed a significant challenge. When four makeup artists examined her skin and left immediately after touching it, it became clear that the makeup would require extensive work. Meaghan herself requested to join her co-stars because she lacked sufficient foundation for her face. Given the depth of her skin issues, the complexity of the makeup process, and the time constraints, it was deemed necessary for her to be part of the commercial.
The Ego Factor
While some have suggested that her involvement was due to a lack of substantial lines or dialogue, it is important to note that the commercial features "stars" from the show Suits. Meghan Markle played a supporting role in Suits and was not one of the main stars. The commercial itself did not require a significant amount of acting that would justify her absence.
Public Reactions and Academic Cynicism
Public reaction to her absence in the commercial has been mixed. Some view it as a snub, while others are more understanding of the logistical challenges involved. The perception of her ego as a factor comes from some comments, but it is crucial to remember that everyone, including celebrities, faces challenges and pressure in their professional lives.
One user stated, ‘I believe so. I am an E.L.F. user. If I saw that treacherous face, I would never spend another dollar on that brand. Every little scheme makes people hate and shun her.’ This sentiment reflects some of the more negative views toward Meghan Markle, possibly influenced by past controversies and public perception.
Addressing the Misconceptions
It's important to clarify that not everything is about Meghan Markle. The E.L.F. Cosmetics commercial was a celebrated event featuring other notable actors from Suits, and any absence should be understood within the context of the project requirements and logistical challenges.
As for the Super Bowl, it's still a few days away (as of February 7, 2024), and fans are eagerly anticipating the ads. The commercial featuring the Suits cast is just one of many that will air, showcasing the star power that brands pay significant sums to feature.
What’s Next?
The upcoming Super Bowl will bring many more surprises and discussions. Apart from the ads, in the political realm, the 2024 U.S. elections are approaching, and many will be closely watching developments. Additionally, personal questions such as birthday gifts, the future of certain public figures, and financial planning for investments like gold or dried beans will continue to be discussed and speculated about.
Conclusion
The absence of Meghan Markle in the E.L.F. Cosmetics commercial was a result of practical issues rather than intentional snubbing. Understanding the logistical challenges and the specific requirements of the commercial helps provide a clearer picture. As we look forward to the Super Bowl and other significant events, it's important to approach such topics with a balanced and informed perspective.
