Love Island UK fan favourite Ellie Chadwick has revealed why the “horrible” makeup she wore in the villa never seemed to match her skin tone.
All season long, viewers have been questioning Ellie’s foundation choices on social media, with some pointing out that it looked “grey” because of the wrong undertone, and another posting on Reddit that she was “giving 2008 with the cakey makeup.”
Now, none other than former Islander Tyrique Hyde asked Ellie about her foundation faux-pas on his podcast, Kick, and she explained why her makeup looked off on the show.
“It’s like you’re trying to match yourself, [and you’re] getting tan all the time, and you’re going through different skin colours when you’re tanning. My chest goes a lot redder than the rest of me. My face is really naturally pale compared to the rest of my body, so that’s [why my shade didn’t match],” she said.
Ty pointed out that as the season went on, Ellie’s makeup seemed to match better, and she explained that was because her tan had finally reached the same level as her foundation, adding that she was also “changing the products” she was using.
Ellie’s Love Island partner Finley Maddock appeared alongside her on the podcast, and added that “makeup in the sun doesn’t go very well.”
Ellie and Finley have said ‘I love you’ since leaving Love Island UK
Finley copped plenty of backlash from fans after deciding to explore a connection with bombshell Elicia on Love Island, despite spending weeks in a solid couple with Ellie.
The decision ultimately landed him in the bottom three male Islanders in a public vote, and he was sent home. Although Ellie wasn’t in the bottom, she decided to leave the villa with Finley of her own accord.
During their interview on Kick, Ellie and Finley revealed they’d already told each other “I love you” since leaving the show.
After Finley casually remarked that he was “in love”, Ty asked him if that was the first time he said that, and he said yes. Ellie also confirmed that he’d said it to her, telling Ty that he was “the first person they’d told.”
“We’ve not told anyone apart from you, Tyrique. ” You’ve got the exclusive!” she said.
