I'm aware that her eyes aren't brown, but they're definitely not blue. They're a greyish green color:
Contact lenses and/or post-production editing:
And it's obvious in this one. Look at the circle around her iris in her left eye:

As for contact lenses, tons of Indian actresses wear them and Aishwarya does too. Her eyes aren't the psycho green that her ads and films make them appear.
And queen of what? Aishwarya wasn't even successful until she appeared in some unsuccessful British movies and had Indians fooled into thinking she was some big Hollywood name when she isn't. And of course Indians jumped on the bandwagon because of pride in someone who they think crossed over.

Looks a little different on wiki, sure she struggled in the beginning but it seems she needn't GB for her success in India.

Following a successful modeling career, Rai made her acting debut in 1997 with Mani Ratnam's Tamil film Iruvar, a semi-biographical political drama, featuring Mohanlal, Prakash Raj, Tabu and Revathi. The film was a critical success and among other awards, won the Best Film award at the Belgrade International Film Festival[23] Rai featured as Pushpavalli and Kalpana – dual roles; the latter was a fictionalised portrayal of politician and former actress Jayalalithaa.[24] Due to Rai's weak Tamil-speaking skills, her dialogues in the film were dubbed by a dubbing artist.[25] That same year, she was cast as Ashi, a naive teenager in her first Bollywood film – Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya, a romantic comedy opposite Bobby Deol. The film was a commercial failure, and reviewers were critical of the film and Rai's acting ability.[17][26]
Rai next appeared in the 1998 big-budget Tamil romantic drama Jeans, directed by S. Shankar and co-starring Prashanth and Nassar. Rai played Madhumita, a young woman who travels to the United States to seek medical attention for her ailing grandmother. A commercial success, the film earned Rai praise for her dancing skills.[27] Unlike in Iruvar, Rai practiced and dubbed for her own lines in the film.[28] Jeans was later submitted as India's official entry to the Academy Awards for 1998.[29] Her first role in 1999 was in the melodrama Aa Ab Laut Chalen. Directed by Rishi Kapoor, the film was a critical failure and had a below average performance at the box office.[30] Rai's portrayal of Pooja Walia, a traditional Indian woman living in the United States, met with negative reviews; Rediff.com published, "Aishwarya Rai sports a plastic smile and never gets a scene where she can portray any depth. All she does is cry and smile and look pretty".[31]
Her next release, the romantic drama Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, marked a significant turning point in her career.[32] The film, an adaptation of Maitreyi Devi's Bengali novel Na Hanyate, was directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and co-starred Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan. She played the leading role of Nandini, a Gujarati woman who is forced into wedlock (with Devgan's character) despite being in love with another man (played by Khan). TheMovieReport.com praised Rai's performance over her co-actors and noted, "Rai, in a luminous, award-winning performance (largely considered her big dramatic breakthrough--and justifiably so), fills in the conflicted emotional shades that Khan fails to bring with his one-dimensional presence".[33] Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam emerged as a major commercial success and won Rai a Filmfare Award for Best Actress.[34] Rai next took the leading role of Mansi, an aspiring singer, in Subhash Ghai's musical Taal; alongside Akshaye Khanna, Anil Kapoor, Amrish Puri and Alok Nath.[35] A moderate domestic success, Taal was notable for being the first Indian film to feature in the top twenty listing at the American box-office.[36][37] Rai received a second Best Actress nomination that year at the Filmfare Awards ceremony.
In 2000, Rai starred in Kandukondain Kandukondain, a Tamil language adaptation of Jane Austen's novel Sense and Sensibility. Directed by Rajiv Menon, the film also starred Tabu, Mammooty and Ajith Kumar in prominent roles. Rai was cast as Meenakshi (based on the character of Marianne Dashwood), the younger sister of Tabu's character.[38] The film was a critical and commercial success and earned Rai positive comments from critics; a review carried by The Indian Express summarised, "Attacking her role with just the perfect dollop of innocence, Aishwarya does full justice to her part, and matches up perfectly to Tabu.".[39][40][41]
Rai next starred alongside Shahrukh Khan and Chandrachur Singh in the action drama Josh. She portrayed Shirley Dias, the sister of Khan's character who falls in love with his arch enemy's brother (played by Singh).[42] The casting of Rai as Khan's sister was considered an unusual pairing at the time; director Mansoor Khan, however, described it as "perfect".[43] Despite earning mixed reviews from film critics, Josh emerged as a moderate commercial success.[44][45] Satish Kaushik's social drama Hamara Dil Aapke Paas Hai was Rai's next release; she played Preeti Virat, a rape victim, in the film. Co-starring Anil Kapoor and Sonali Bendre, the film was well received by critics. Film critic Sukanya Verma praised Rai's decision to star in the film and added that she "conveys the turmoil and pain of a rape victim well. But it is her transition from an emotional wreck trying to gather the broken pieces of her life back together that is amazing.".[46] Rai eventually earned a third Best Actress nomination at Filmfare.[47]
Following a leading role in the box-office flop Dhai Akshar Prem Ke, Rai took on a supporting role in Aditya Chopra's ensemble romance Mohabbatein. Rai's role was that of Megha Shankar, the daughter of Amitabh Bachchan's character who commits suicide after a failed romance with one of her father's students (played by Shahrukh Khan). Despite earning mixed reviews from film critics, Mohabbatein emerged as the second highest grossing film of the year and earned Rai a Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress nomination.[45][47][48] The following year, she starred alongside Govinda and Jackie Shroff in the romantic comedy Albela. Upon release, both the film and her performance received mostly negative reviews; Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama criticised the film and mentioned Rai as "plastic in some scenes".[49]
Devdas and international recognition (2002–07)
Rai at Cannes Film Festival 2007After featuring in David Dhawan's slapstick comedy film Hum Kisise Kum Nahin, Rai appeared alongside Shahrukh Khan and Madhuri Dixit in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's love-saga Devdas, an adaptation of Sharat Chandra Chattopadhyay's novel of the same name.[50] She played the role of Paro (Parvati), the love interest of the protagonist (played by Khan). The film was screened at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival and was featured by Time in their listing of the "10 best films of the millennium".[51][52] The film emerged as a major international success with revenues of over 53 crore (US$9.7 million).[53][54] Alan Morrison, writing for Empire, praised the performances of the three leads and wrote, "Aishwarya Rai proves she has the acting talent to back up her flawless looks".[55] Devdas was chosen as India's official entry for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film and received a nomination at the BAFTA Awards in the Best Foreign Language Film category.[56] In India, the film won 10 Filmfare Awards, including a second Best Actress award for Rai.[57]
In 2003, Rai featured in two romantic dramas of Bollywood, her brother's production début Dil Ka Rishta, alongside Arjun Rampal, and Rohan Sippy's Kuch Na Kaho, alongside Abhishek Bachchan.[58] Neither of these films fared well critically or commercially.[58][59] She was later noted for her starring role in Rituparno Ghosh's independent Bengali film Chokher Bali, an adaptation of Rabindranath Tagore's novel of the same name.[60] She portrayed the character of Binodini, an emotionally manipulative widow, struggling with her sexual desires in early-20th century Bengal.[61] The film was a major critical success and Rai earned positive notice for her performance; Derek Elley of Variety noted, "Rai dominates the film with her delicately sensual presence and physical grace".[62] Commercially, the film emerged as a sleeper hit.[63][64]
After the success of Chokher Bali, Rai returned to mainstream Hindi film with Rajkumar Santoshi's Khakee (2004), a suspense thriller featuring Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgan and Tusshar Kapoor. The film tells the story of five constables embroiled in a mystery surrounding a terrorist attack; Rai's role was that of Mahalakshmi, a gun moll. While filming for Khakee, Rai was accidentally hit by a running car, which resulted in the fracture of her left foot.[65] Upon release, the film received moderate critical and commercial success.[66] In her next release, the romantic comedy Kyun! Ho Gaya Na..., Rai played Diya Malhotra, a university student who develops a one-sided attraction toward her friend Arjun Khanna (played by Vivek Oberoi). The film received positive to mixed comments from critics, but failed commercially.[67][68]

Wikipedia is a user edited site and is not going to give every side of the subject unless the people editing the article want to. Aside from three Bollywood/Hindi films and one Tamil one (none of which were carried by her), all her movies were flops or average performers until 2006. In fact, at the time she made her "Hollywood" debut in 2004, she and all her Hindi movies were under the radar. I didn't even know her name back then, but I did know of Preity Zinta and Rani Mukerji because they were in every single major Hindi movie. Thanks to Aishwarya's low budget British films posing as Hollywood ones, her L'Oreal ads, her red carpet appearances at Cannes and American talk show interviews being introduced as "the most beautiful woman in the world" (she was never called that by anyone before), she turned herself into a big name among the South Asian diaspora around the globe. How can local hits like Preity Zinta compete with someone being interviewed for 5 minutes on Oprah?

2.
There is something annoying about her face. Well, maybe not face, but her facial expressions are annoying. She seems very unnatural and is definitely one of the worst actresses I have ever seen.

Julia Roberts calling her "the most beautiful woman in the world" is an Internet rumor. There is no article or video confirming this. The only thing she won was Hello! Magazine's "Most Attractive Woman" poll in 2003 and her PR ran with it.
I don't like Beyonce nor am I impressed by her being light skinned*, but I don't think she's average-looking at all. She has a more angular face and much better shaped nose. She's better-looking than most celebs.

Why do you people keep saying "light skin girl"? It's light-skin ned. Light skin isn't an adjective.

She looks better in this picture, but her face is still stocky and her nose is still weird. She only looks good with her face turned like this because it creates the illusion of angularity in her face and a more refined nose:
And yes, I think she was better-looking when she was younger too. The round face worked for her back then:
