Do actors and actresses look as good in real life as they do on screen?
I am pretty qualified to answer this question, having met many Bollywood celebs face to face. Firstly, NO not all of them are ugly. I remember meeting Akshay Kumar and that I couldn't just believe how better he looks off-screen. To add in this list are Kangana, Katrina, Sonakshi, Kareena, Aditya Pancholi, Irfan Khan, and many more.Secondly, the kind of diet celebs take, the routine they follow makes their skin glow. Not just they maintain their body, but hair, skin and nails too.There are people I haven't really liked in person or say who look far better on screen - Aditi Rao Hydari, Hrithik(with never ending skinny legs), Priyanka, Parineeti and a few more. Not that they are ugly, they look better on screen. Some people are just photogenic.Makeup plays an important role though but all alone, it can't make someone look flawless. You need to have sharp features and a certain kind of bone structure. For there are plastic surgeries in market, makeup isn't even required anymore.

A bit, yes...
Why do I find Indian girls applying less makeup compared to other girls in the USA? Is it a cultural thing? Is it only my observation?
I think it has a lot to do with the society. I belong to the middle class society in India where in social gatherings people would ask me how much I scored in my high school, did I get placed in an on campus job. Sense of achievement lies in what your kids do and lesser in how your kids look. At least till you are the so called marriageable age. Only then people would recommend you this cream and that face pack. For example my sister completed her MBBS,and prepared one year for her MD. She gained a lot of weight during that year. She finally got selected for MD and lot of my family friends came home to congratulate her. But none of them even mentioned how fat she has grown. All they could talk was how great an achievement it was.But here in US as far as I have seen and talked to my US friends, how you look and carry yourself is very important. Media tends to glamorize and advertise everything. That one lipstick can get you promotion at your workplace. This also leads to constant insecurity in people that their partners will cheat on them for someone better looking. So we can see a lot of makeup products being sold and bought here. In fact, I have never seen a lot of these products in India!!
Does anyone else think that the actress chosen to play Fleur Delacour is nowhere near pretty enough?
I know it's cliche, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I thought she was a lovely girl, but there are probably a lot of young actresses who are more beautiful. You have to keep in mind that Clemence Poesy was also cast for her acting ability--perhaps the prettier girls that auditioned for the role couldn't act worth squat. Furthermore, if you re-read the books, Fleur was part Veela. Veelas were fairy-like creatures that could enchant any male into falling into a crazy, intoxicating infatuation with them. They were absolutely irresistible because of their magic. Remember the girls at school couldn't understand why the boys were going bonkers? Unfortunately, a lot of these small details didn't make it into the movie, so that's why it might be puzzling to you why Fleur is not so literally stunning.
