My wife swears to Rudy that Prince has had a nose job. She was reading the Rolling Stone article and compared that nose to the one shown in his sophomore pic. IT does look quite different, but I say that's from picture editing. What do U think?

See guys, I hope I won´t get slammed for that, but when MJ says he had a nose and chin done, he´s lier, nobody believes him. But to tell you the truth, my brother for example has very hard times believing that Prince had none at all. well whatever.
IF you wanna know my opinion. I believe MJ what he says and that Prince had none surgery at all. But a lot of people call me blind. But who cares, right?

I have struggled with this. His nose does look different. His nose now and his nose on that pic of him in high school is different. I don't know if he 'grew' into his nose or what. I don't know. If he did, it looks natural and not overdone like some people.

my guess is that the Rolling Stone cover or any professional photo, would be wearing makeup, which would naturally make averything look diferent than a high school photo.

I am black and most blacks when younger have broader noses. I can see the difference from comparing my high school pics to more current pics [I am 33], and I can clearly see the difference. I don't think P has had his nose done. Clearly, he was a little fuller back in the day...not as thin and lean as he is today. And his face is VERY narrow and thin. As you lose weight, your nose and features thin out instead of broaden. Pregnant women can attest to this.

The mods at NPGMC posted that Prince has never had a nose job. And that's straight from the boss' desk, I'm sure.

I don't care either way.

IF he has had some work, it's the best I've ever seen and he obviously has some common sense about what to do or not to do. MJ would have been okay if he'd just stopped at the plastic surgery he had pre-Thriller days. After that, he went over the edge and he looks nothing like he did before.

Mike's got serious emotional/mental problems IMO and that doesn't help matters any.

So...whatever is keeping him looking so good after all these years is okay by me. He still looks like himself and that's the most important thing I think

I think he's had work done. He's 46 and he looks Very Young lately. Probably Botox . He's had work done.

You really think that with his personal convictions he would get botox and face surgery when he wont have a blood transfusion because of his beliefs and wont even celebrate his birthday?

Maybe a long time ago but not now. Ive never seen prince tattoo or pierce anything on his body.. and i dont think his face is any different.

Look at early photos of his nose and I think he's had work done cause he looks very young in his face compared to those shots at the Basketball Game in 2002. Maybe I'm wrong but I think so.

no nose work but definitely some hair work, its all good, I have, "if it eva comes a atime, when it just wont grow, Ill do like my brotha, and buy some mo."

You can narrow your nose optically by adding shadow to its sides. I´ve seen it in make-up books. I was shocked to see Kevin Aucoin´s book when I saw what he did with those poeple. You wouldn´t recognise them. One lady even said that after he did her make-up nobody recognised her at work.

I am really amazed at what make-up can do. For example would you believe that it´s not the real Marilyn? Would you recognize who is it?

Lisa Marie Presley, but her makeup does look damn good

How did you know that? Have you seen it before? Cause I personally would never guess it´s her, if it wasn´t written in the book where this photo was published. The make-up is done by Kevin Aucoin. I tried to find more picture with his make-up, but I can´t find them on the net. There was for example Calista Flockhard as Audrey Hepburn and you also wouldn´t believe it´s not the real Audrey. OR Tina Turner as Cleopatra. But I also love this picture. Look.


Two different women - one black and one white.

another try

foudn even bigger version of this picture. Isn´t it amazing?

damn it didn´t work again. Second try.

Why can´t you post pictures from amazon web pages. Damn!
Last try from different pages...sorry guys...

I found that picture of Tina as Cleopatra. It´s also amazing. I personally wouldn´t recognise her.

I think that when prince says..
"My voice is getting higher and i ain't never had my nose done"
It is some kind of attack on michael. Michael said that once in an interview, he said he had his nose done so he could hit higher notes. Could this be so, why else would he say it.

And no, i don't think prince has has his nose done,he has a cute nose, why would he?

I dont think anyone has the right to question anyway, its up to him what he does wiv his face.
I dont think he has had his nose done, it looks the same as ever 2 me!

I just wanted to settle it between me and my wife. Since someone from NPGMC says it's never happened, I'll go with it.

I have 2 of Kevin's books He was fantastic RIP

The best ones I've seen are Isabella Rosellini as Barbara Streisand (not unrecognizable but a great mimic) & Martha Stewart as Veronica Lake - THAT one was convincing, I didn't know it was Martha

Now I see. You personally I wouldn´t recognize almost anyone if their names weren´t there. Like Lisa Marie PResley I had hard times recognizing in any of the pictures. Or Andie Mc Dowel. I still can´t believe it´s her.
And with the unknown people, it´s also unbelievable. And if you look at Sandy for example, notice how her nose looks "different" and she´s just wearing make-up.
Yeah he was amazing, I was shocked to find out he died, cause I didn´t know he was sick. I have only Making faces, but I´d love to have Face Forward as well. It´s amazing! He made me look at make-up as an form or real art.

Yea, I don't have Face Forward but I should get it. I have Making Faces & The Art of Makeup. His death took me by surprise too. I'm surprised more wasn't said about him in the fashion community when he died, he seemed to be SUCH an influence & did incredible work. Like you said it really is an art
