Holly Madison Reveals Why Hugh Hefner Hated Purple Lipstick on Playmates

As the Down the Rabbit Hole author explained, “It was more sophisticated, fashion model, red lipstick,” she explained. “It was a lot of fabric and big skirts and everything, and he hated that. He wanted skimpy and fresh-faced and very young looking.”

Hence, the dislike of bold makeup.

“To him, that was an older mature woman,” Holly concluded, “and it wasn’t, like, the barely legal thing anymore.”

The Girls Next Door alum has spoken out in the past about her “cult-like” experience in the mansion and her relationship with the Playboy founder, who died in 2017 at the age of 91.

“I would get so many people coming up to me saying, ‘Don’t you miss the mansion?’ or ‘I’m sorry Hef didn’t marry you’ and I’d see everything that was written about me and people think they know me just because the know one side of me from the TV show,” she previously told E!. “I just didn’t think overall it was a very good message for women because the best part of my life has been the seven years since I’ve left the mansion.”
