Makeup dont's that you do!

[Naimah]

I wear shimmery eyeshadows in the broad daylight and I fall asleep in my makeup... I'm thinking of switching to i.d basre essentials I think it's callled. It's tag line is "so pure you can sleep in it" I never wear liners even though my eyes would look amazing in it

 

[martinionrox]

i pump my mascara, i brush my hair when it's wet, i use bronzer a lot, i always go tanning, i always sleep with make-up on, i don't replace mascara until it's finished, i neglect my face (skin care), sleep in contacts .. you name it, i've done the bad deed.

-Applying more than two coats of mascara and then separating my lashes with a mechanic pen...
-Applying concealer, but no pressed powder.
-Not cover my under eye circles ever, because I think it looks artificial when it's too white under the eye.

^ I skip the pressed powder, as well. I guess if you use a moisturizer, aren't you allowed to skip that step? Who knows. Powder = yuck.

[Miss_A]

ughhh I always comb my wet hair, I love dark eye shadow (even in the morning), And i also sepparate my eyelashes...but with a safety pin what else? I'm not sure, but i'm sure i do loads of stuff i should NOT

 

[basiamille]

Hmm.. I apply way more than 3 coats of mascara, I always forget to moisturize after the shower, I dont seperate my lashes. My foundation never seems to match my skin tone no matter what brand or who picks the color (me or the counterladyman), I forget to remove my makeup and I rub my eyes and I blowdry my hair like crazy.
err and more! O.o

*i wear Armani's red liquid makeup corrector (designed for dark skins) as a blush
the people at armani cosmetics freaked out when i asked them to try it on in a demostration they did for me before buying it.. it works wonders much more for spring summer

*i also buy powders for dark skins and wear them also as blush, its the best 'bronzer' i ever had, beautiful

*i use noxema's sesame body oil on wet hair before brushing

:ninza:

- I never manage to take off all my eye makeup, no matter how hard i try with makeup remover, q-tips, spit, thumb etc.
- I actually like the look of faint eyeliner remnant under my eyes the next day..
- I erm, don't keep track of how often i wash my hair, it's more like whenever i find that it needs to be washed. Actually i've read that this is good, because the more you wash it, the more your scalp will produce oils and so the less you wash it, the less it needs to be washed.
- I, too, am guilty of using makeup for ages past the "expiration" time.
- Wearing sunscreen but no moisturizer.. i do this alot actually i don't like coating my face with too much stuff.

I've cut back on the (many) bad beauty habits I used to have, but I just can't seem to stop using my towel to rub the make-up off under/around my eyes when I wash my face.

I've heard this will cause wrinkling around the eye area later in life, with all the constant tugging on sensitive eye-area skin. But I can't stop, because it just saves one less step - the eye make-up removal part - in my routine, which consists of WAY too many things and takes up far too much time... (wash, tone, moisturize, eye cream, sunscreen.. oy!)

I'll regret this when I start seeing lines, but I hope my eye cream will help defend me..

oooh I like this thread.... Makes me feel less guilty.

I do 80's blush! I'm always told to just blend bluch on the apples of my cheeks but I always suck in my cheeks and do my entire cheekbone


I pump the mascara wand and I NEVER wear lipstick. My entire face can be done but I'll never wear lipstick.

Same here...I absolutely LOATHE lipstick! I only use lipgloss at the most, or some kind of lib balm. Other than that I don't do too many no-no's...

 

[pineapple]

Me too! I stopped when I hurt myself though... and it hurt a lot!!

try using an old toothbrush

 

[Mk's Beauty Shop]

my foundation is always a bit darker then my skin too - even when i got it done by a "professional"
I cant think of anything else that i do right now...

 

[sasseestefanie]

I don't wash my face directly after I work out

 

[indie]

I don't moisturize after shower or actually never before summer cause I use jhonson moisturize baby oil or something eventually

I use "old" mascara like one year old

I brush my hair when it's wet when I'm in hurry

I go out whit my wet hair

 

[travolta]

i use graphite pencils to fill in my eyebrows..those who are asian.i would strongly suggest trying..the lead is so thick it gives the perfect appliction, and you cannot even tell the difference.

 

[oona]

i use a creme blend makeup stick from my college stage makeup class as concealer. it's the best coverup i've ever used & it's by mehron.

 

[*AndoraStar*]

I'm BAD as well.. I use old mascara! BAD BAD Andora

 

[CelineChic]

I'm BAD as well.. I use old mascara! BAD BAD Andora

Ivy's rule of thumb is that "if it doesn't smell rotten then its still safe"

 

[adorevintage]

Apply way more than 2 coats of mascara on my lashes and curl them before and after...sometimes I heat up my eyelash curler... is this bad for your lashes?

I read somewhere excessive use of mascara will make them fall out faster or fall out in general... is this true? Because I wear mascara on a daily basis but I let my face "breathe" 2-3 times a week (meaning no make-up at all, just moisturizer and sunscreen)
