Worst Makeup Mistakes!

[kissablekae]

there this eyeshadow look that i cant stand if not done right! where its two colors and in the front part of the eye is one color, usually something really bright or light then on the last half is black.. there was a girl who literally patted it on and didnt blend. it wasnt even a half moon shape on her lid, it looked all crinkley(for lack of a better word).

Eyebrows that look like they have been drawn on with a sharpie marker drive me CRAZY when I see them on women!

also going to add..when girls wear foundation on their foreheads. it makes people look old.

foundation that is too dark or too light with the purpose of change one's skin color..

You're talking about me. Why does foundation on my forehead make me look old? I have uneven skin tone so I tend to wear foundation everywhere.

And I've noticed my foundation can look too light on me from certain angles. This is because I'm sort of mixed. My neck and chest is light but the back of my neck is darker. This makes me paranoid that people are judging my varying skin tones.

smelly makeup. i think thats just a pet peeve of mine. dont wear so much foundation or whatever that people can smell you before you even walk up to them. and hugs are the worst!

So not a pet peeve of just you. There was someone at my school that did that. Every time I got near her it smelled like a kiddie princess make up kit.

Other pet peeves of mine when someone looks like they used a crayon to put on their eyeliner. Or the Amy Winehouse look, even she looks bad with it.

I hate when the girls at MAC want to make me darker, i made the mistake of following their advice once and the darker powder made me look like i had a stache!

 

[baRose]

^^ I hate that too! Its like they ignore the yellow/gold undertones in my skin color and put red foundation all over me. I always run to the nearest lounge to wash that crap off.

I cant stand the girls at MAC! They all wear ****** makeup. I have very very pale skin and when I go in there they always try and sell me foundation that is to dark.

 

[Ilovelefashion]

I never let any salesperson at the make-up counter get near my skin. I swear they randomly pull those people off the street to work there, they never know what they're talking about.

 

[DandyWarhol]

^^ no, they hire them because their wardrobe consists of black, black, and black.

 

[__neversummer]

^^^ and incredibly full of yourself.

I hate how every time I ask for help in there whether it be asking about a price or a color, they act put out and like I'm being a pain in the ***.

well i dont know about you. but some girls wear the heaviest foundation they can find and slather it on their foreheads. like when you see where it stops and starts at the hair line and settles into wrinkles. if i cant tell a girl is wearing foundation on her forehead them more power to her! it only bugs me when its super obvious!

also, i think when people tan a lot then fade back in the winter, their foreheads tend to stay darker while the cheeks fade back..and then they put the same foundation on their forehead so the color looks a bit off.

Any makeup I do on myself is a baddd makeup look. I always end up washing it all off.

I agree 100%. I can't stand it when eyebrows are so perfectly shaped and really dark like they have been drawn with marker. This is definitely the worst makeup mistake IMO.

Also I don't like it when girls where layers of mascara that it makes there eyelashes stick together and looks like wings coming from their eyes.

brown lipgloss/lipstick..works for very few ppl of certain skin tones and you have to have very white teeth or else its just not cute

when girls try to do bright eyeshadow but it completely clashes with their skin tone and they pair it with bright colored clothes that dont match at all. its like they are a multicolored human highlighter marker haha

pastel eyeshadows on the entire lid, it makes them look like this

orange 'bronzed' cheeks plus hot pink barbie lipgloss *clash*

you know some girls do the extreme half moon unblended eyeshadow..then there are the girls who have a friggin rectangle of eyeshadow..it doesnt complement the eye shape at all!

i probably already said this but drawing your eyebrow way past your eye so its like on the temples

Makeup faux pas I have been guilty of:

1. Orangey make-up.
Hey I was in high school and all I could afford was drugstore aka CoverGirl. Their lightest shade back then was too dark for me.
2. Line of demarcation. (Where your make up looks like a mask.) Thankfully this was only in high school when I was first learning to do makeup. My grandmother noticed and taught me how to fix it.
3. Bad lipliner. This one wasn't my fault. My gran was one of those "thou must wear lipliner with lipstick" types and I'm kind of ocd with my lipstick and chapstick so I constantly reapply. I don't even bother with it anymore. I know where my lips are.
4. Cleopatra eyes. -This doesn't really count considering I was like 6 and raiding my mother's makeup but I have such ah... fond memories of it. See, I was born in the 80's. I though the proper way to wear eyeshadow was to have bold colors up to your eyebrows and as far out as to your hairline. At least 3 colors, of course. Hey I was 6. I should do that and take a pic for humor's sake.

5. Flakey skin. I'm currently guilty of this. Not right now now, but currently if that makes sense. I exfoliate, I moisturize still the dratted dead skin won't go away. It's not that bad, but once I put my foundation/whatever it's called on it's noticeable. (I need my makeup.)
It's sometimes bad on my forehead, but my nose always looks like I've just finished getting over a sunburn. (Minus the red.)
Strange my gran has the same problem too. Is there a peely nose gene?


All that said. Out of all the make up faux pas in the world there is one that continues to annoy the snot out of me.
When the person's face is 2 or more shades lighter than the rest of their body.
How does that happen? It's like someone popped the head off Barbie and replaced it with a knock-off brand.

I hate girls who cake on their foundation! One time I was standing next to this girl and she had caked on foundation. Then the wind blew and all her foundation went on my FACE! UGH.

 

[ChloeFrancoise]

Same with the caked on foundation +
obvious lip line from lip liner
orange skin from fake tanner
streaky looking skin from the same thing (I'm looking at you, Lilo)
over tweezed eyebrows
wearing colors that don't go well with one's skin tone

Well... I'm guilty of that. My face is soooooo much whiter than my body, and I really couldn't tell you why I swear I look like a corpse in the face Even in the summer when I tan, my body always tans so much faster than my face... must be genetic or something

But it's easily fixable with makeup

obvious lip line from lip liner

I hate it when the lip liner is 1 or 2 shades darker than the lipstick..it looks awful
