That looks more “porn star” than chola…a proper chola would not wear hundreds of dollars worth of MAC, she’d get the cheap $1 makeup from the discount store….And do cholas wear fake lashes?

Haha, I don’t know if the fact this chick is white makes the video better or worse.

Dan,
A lot of the cholas I know are light skinned and blonde. With their make up on, they look almost exactly like this girl. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with her being white. She’s able to pull it off!

@ aydiosmio. Totes on that! Its all Wet and Wild for 99cents or that brand that was always at the flea market, I think it was called Apple or something like that.

A spray of Aqua Net over your face works in keeping your makeup in place.

@ janie: I pretty much exclusively wear Wet ‘n Wild, because 1) I’m cheap and 2) it sounds like a 14 year old chola’s screen name.

@ale

screen names…the memories of Cuchi-n-Guchi and countless of others.

When did MAC become a premier makeup store, all I see in there are transexuals and cake monsters and girls pretending to be Heath Ledger’s Joker.

Wasn’t Gwen Stefani the Chola-in-Chief at some point? She was applying some black eyeliner to her lips in some music video a few years ago…

And—ugh—I’ve bought that cheap WnW lipgloss, it smelled like gasoline and felt like some toxic glue on my lips…I am convinced Cholas are all suffering from some horrible lead poisoning acquired via nasty, cheap makeup applied to their lips and eyes…Don’t get lead poisoning Alex!!

@Janie, OMG, I’ve sooo seen that “apple” brand of eyeliner, lol…

@ Alex. Heavenforbid you go into a store that carries NYC brand of cheapie cosmetics, cause that’s like an extra 49 cents.

Oye, when did we become Latina magazine? Don’t we need Betty Cortinas for this? Its all about panochas, makeup and politicians I’d like to schtup.

Maybe we need Dolores Prida?
wait!

This is a job for Nina Garcia.

@Janie: Betty Cortina is no longer with Latina, the new eic is Mimi Valdes, formerly of Vibe magazine. The first thing she did for ther first issue was to put Jessica Alba on the cover, oh brother…

And LOL, I don’t think Nina Garcia wants anything to do with Cholas…

Back in the day we stole the liquid liner and red/black lipstick from the market. We also took our mom’s foundation and wore it no matter what color it was.

@aydiosmio,
Do you possibly mean this video?

i’ve only done the chola look once. it was for about 5 mins at work. it’s what happens when you aint got shit to do.
i gotta look for that picture!

@Diego: YES!!!! I just clicked on it and was shocked that it opened with an image of the Virgen de Guadalupe printed on a shirt, split into two, and flanking Gwen’s cleavage, my god…

Lol@ all the Wet N Wild & NYC comments….
That’s exactly what I was thinking when the video kept talking about MAC products. I did the chola look in jr high when I could afford makeup but only at the 99 cent store without mami knowing.

What’s wrong with wet & wild?… I still use it…

@ E, no one says that there is anything wrong with it. I have plenty of Wet and Wild stuff and assorted brands. I guess it comes with the cachet of being a chola, using what little money you have to get “that” look.

If I may extemporize on the cachet of status and makeup, one can easily achieve a modicum of class/status by the brand of makeup one has. Try pulling out a Angel Face compact vs. a Chanel one, and see what reactions and expectations of class come with that.

Remember, aunque la mona se viste de seda, ( o se pinta la cara como la chola del barrio) mona se queda.

Besides getting the tar beat out of me for lookin like a chola, I quit using Wet N Wild because it made my face break out. Although, I will say I still use their eyeliner. When you heat it with a blow dryer, it’ll go on creamy & stay in place. No raccoon eyes.

Dayum, I really dig the second track—anybody know the artist?

Where I grew up cholas wore their make-up like a badge of honor or sumshing…
and aw yes, the days where high-ass homgrlz wrote their screennames to be sweetangel and have it come out sweatangle…

@errrka: my sisters taught me to use their lighter to make it go on smoof.

That settles it, I’m totes going in chola-face to jury duty next week.

@ homo-neurotic :

I KNOW RITE! its uffie-pop the glock i was looking for a torrent of it jaja

Back in the day the only girls allowed to were chola make-up were cholas. Not white girls(gabachas) I’ve always worn chola make up since middle school. ANd the best brands are wet n’ wild and apple and cover girl for the powder cause that was the lightest. Me and my homegirls always said better to look white than orange. The only way I can afford MAC is if I send my baby sister to steal it for me>>>>HAHAHA. Arato pU3s
