5. When Rose from Titanic wore bold makeup that a woman of her station wouldn't have worn in that time period.

Paramount Pictures

"Or any moment in a historical movie where makeup may have existed, but it doesn’t really seem realistic for said character to be wearing it — like perfect lipstick, mascara, brows."

—caitling5

6. When Black Widow finished a fight in Captain America: The Winter Soldier with no sweat and perfectly unsmudged makeup.

Marvel

"How is the makeup so perfect while superheroes are fighting? It should be smudged from the sweat!"

7. When Aurora from Sleeping Beauty woke up with a perfect full face of makeup.

8. When Elsa and Anna went to bed in full makeup in Frozen 2.

Disney

"I’m sorry, but magical ice powers do not give you purple eyeshadow, eyeliner, and bold lipstick. And there’s NO way she would have perfect skin if she was sleeping in a full face of makeup every night."

—Emma Craigen

9. When Jody from Center Stage made quick changes involving all new hair, makeup, and costumes in just a few seconds.

Columbia Pictures

"Ignoring the fact that Jody’s costume changes would have been near impossible in a performance, her immediate makeup changes were just ridiculous. Still love the movie, though."

10. When Daniel wore heavy film prosthetics and makeup in Mrs. Doubtfire and no one noticed.

20th Century Fox

"The heaviness and thickness of the makeup that would be required for Daniel to be disguised as Mrs. Doubtfire would be detectable by anyone standing near him. No one would look at this person and think, This sweet old lady wears a lot of makeup. People would be immediately suspicious, know the makeup is fake, and be alarmed that something creepy is going on."

11. When Clarke from The 100 woke up from cryogenic sleep with perfect mascara.

The CW

"The world has been through two apocalypses at this point. WHERE did she get it?"

"I mean, all of the wives look gorgeous, but the amount of bronzer on Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s character was just ridiculous."

16. When every woman in Lost had perfect brows and mascara while stranded on an island.

ABC

"All of the women had great hair and makeup for having survived a plane crash and being deserted on an island."
