I once heard that if you match the color of your shirt to the color of your eyeshadow you would look like someone poured a gallon of paint on your face. Didnt believe it until I saw someone with a lilac shirt and had the same shade of lilac as her eyeshadow and it did look as if someone poured a gallon of lilac on her face. So i guess the same color is ok as long as its not exactly the same shade

ok, one thing i keep seeing esp on south east asian women (majority of who have pretty dark under eye circles) who just cane the kohl and black eyeliner but wear NO concealer or any other MU. and that will be their everyday look...
I find it so frustrating... cos guaranteed by the end of the day, that kohl will have bled down and made their bags look so much darker. ugh, a bit of concealer is all i ask for... those beautiful almond eyes deserve it!

I often see WOC with too light and reddish brow powder on (yes, I did the same mistake years before and it looked scary)... or otherwise too bold brows. Some turkish or latina women seem to never pluck their brows, some have like a mono-brow
like Salma Hayek as Frida Kahlo
And that scary nearly-white lipstick... that reminds me on a reverse snow-white ;-)

hmmm i dont think anyone mentioned this but i cant stand to see women who have permanantely tattooed black eyeliner to their top/bottom lids (that eventually fades to blue... :S) and/or tatooed their eyesbrows ..esp if their hair isnt black or dark brown...and esp. when they dont wear any other makeup. so all you see is two black cicles and two blacks lines about those circles..its like all you can look at!
and im not into the overly winged liquid liner either.
i also hate to see women dress up in the prettiest outfits for a special occasion and not do their hair/makeup...ruins the look.

OMG I AGREE WITH THE PERSON WHO MADE THE CHESTNUT AND OH BABY COMMENT!
O.M.G.
I REFUSE to wear 'O' lipstick, Oh Baby Lipglass, and Chesnut lip liner. REFUSE. And ANY dark purple lipstick.
I work at a CCO and 90% WOC, no lie, not over exaggerating, ask me if we carry those 3 colors. And they ALWAYS buy the darkest, ugliest purple lipstick. Ugh. Every time someone asks for Chestnut I silently chuckle to myself. Never in my life will I wear or purchase those colors. Well actually, I own 'O' but that's because I bought it back in 2004 for prom and haven't really worn it since then.

a lot of women here will tweeze/shave most of their eyebrows off and then draw a thin line in! it's SOO unattractive! especially when the brow curves like a half-circle and starts & ends too low! yuck.
i've also seen the dark lipliner with frosty light lipstick. gross.

I'd have to say the eyebrows and the frosty white Wet & Wild eyeshadow both get on my nerves, but the absolute worst is the too light foundation. I've even seen MUAs with too light foundation. It's like some WOC are afraid of admitting how dark they are.

I've seen WOC who are MAC MA that I think are wearing foundation that is too light. In fact there are 2 in particular who are regulars at the pro store near me. On different occasions, both have recommended MAC foundations to me. I didn't buy either time. How can you accept the advice of a MA who's wearing the wrong foundation.....
