I second the blurry pic! And this really has nothing to do with the camera but I really hate it when people don't close their eyes so we can see the beautiful creation they made! Grrrr......

This may sound really, really mean, but I dont mean it to be.
It annoys me whenever people post a ton of pictures. 5-6 is plenty. One straight on with eyes open, one straight on with eyes closed, one at the side with eyes open, one at the side with eyes closed, and one funny face.

I think (I don't know why - I am PMSing just as an FYI) that it bothers me when people only post their eyes. I dunno, I want to see the whole thing! I don't wear loads of eye shadow everyday so I guess I just want to see how it looks on the overall face.
Sorry ladies - what a stick in the mud I am tonight

Whoops...I've done that! Lips and eyes, it's because I rarely wear foundation and didn't realise that you can choose not to show the rest of your face (got the idea from a mod, heh heh). It's more a shy thing than an anonymity thing. But hey, I've only done one real one, and one for a previous challenge.
It soooo bothers me when people don't post the full list of what they have used on their lovely faces! I want details!!! I need them, ha ha.

I don't mind it when people don't past pictures of their eyes closed - people don't walk around with their eyes closed just to show their bling lid work, right? It's more true to life to see a front and/or side head-shot with their eyes open, that way I can see exactly what does and doesn't work on the face as a whole.
(I'm only saying this because I posted a picture with my eyes open only and feel like a FOTD loser now, heh.)
My only peeve is when people don't adjust their camera to whatever light they're under and/or shoot in bad light, because then they have greenish, blueish skin and I can't accurately see their colour combos. That and it doesn't show their make-up to its full effect, which is a bit of downer.

LOL!!! That's the funniest thing I've heard all day. And I think I've done that!!
About mine:
1. When the colors don't show up properly or at all but look great in real life!
2. When I have taken like 25 pics and can only really find 1 that I like, and half like that one.
3. When I capture random shit in the background that I'd rather not have in the pic.
About others:
1. When they don't post what they use.
2. I'm kind of over the funny faces.
3. No closed eye pics.
4. No full face pics. I like the see the whole look.
5. Small pics and/or zoomed out pics.

Facial expressions don't really peeve me, because our different expressions our what makes us human and I enjoy seeing all kinds them! If we all made the same face in our FOTD's it would be so boring!
Also, maybe because I make alot of those faces and I'm not stopping haha
I view photography as a form of art and I express myself through it in many different ways, so I am picky! So... if a pic that shows my eye make up off really wonderfully involves a weird facial expression, I'm still going to post it because I find the beauty in it! But hey, everyone has opinions!
Anyways, I second not mentioning what you use. That's a peeve of mine. Tell us what products you used to get that beautiful look!
Besides that, I'm grateful for everyone having the courage to post their pic on the internet and share their looks with us! I enjoy the FOTD forum the most here!

These are the only two that really bother me also. I like to see the pics closely and clearly. It is really hard to get a good FOTD, I never realised 'til I started posting them. I think sometimes people either get lazy or they don't know that if they take 50 pics and just choose a couple and make sure to include a close up shot of the eyes...they will have a better result.
I feel bad when the pics are soo far away too, cos I can't see the details. I'd rather just see the head.

I always just show the eyes too. This is for a few reasons. Mainly because in my experience, the eyes are the thing that takes the longest time to do and it is the area most people like to enhance but aren't always sure how (although a lot of ladies here are really good at it) so they are what I most want to show in my pics.
Also I do my pics when I have loads of time to spend on them. I am normally sitting around relaxing late at night with my pajamas and hair in a big bun or plat. I can't be arsed to fix my hair, put foundation on, put blush on, and do lipstick. There's no other makeup to show besides the eyes. If I had time to do the pics before work, I would show the whole face to show how I put everything together but since I'm usually going to bed straightaway I don't do it. I have shown my whole face before on here and MUA so it's not the anonymity factor.
Also when you do a full face pic you have to fuss over the angles. It's not easy to get a flattering shot where you're not making a weird face, doing something funny with your mouth, having flyaway hair, etc. Unless you pose and model a lot, you feel self conscious taking pics and it's harder to take a flattering one that shows the makeup from all angles so I try not to be too hard on people's FOTD's.

I agree! Although, it's not a pet peeve of mine but do giggle a bit.
Now that's not to say the makeup is bad...just the pic is a little funny.

I often only post my eyes and lips because I am unable to get a good full face pic. It seems to be more difficult for me to get one that shows off the makeup.
I know some people do it for privacy. Plenty of people are not comfortable having their pic on the net but want to share their makeup talent.
Much like pictureless FOTD's you just need to use your imagination
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My only pet peeve is clear pictures. Blurry is one thing but when the pic is orange or yellow and you can't see the makeup it seems pointless to me.
My personal pet peeve for me is trying to just get a good pic. Either the flash will wash out my colors or the pic turns out blurry. It drives me nuts. Taking good pics and being able to show the makeup off is a HUGE pet peeve of mine. Many of times I will try taking pics and when they don't come out right I just don't post the FOTD.
I try not to be judgemental about pics because I know how hard it is to get a good one that really show cases your makeup.
I do truely try to see the good in every FOTD. Sounds corny but it's true.

I don't think it's corny Ness, I too love to look because I see the good parts in everyone's pics. It's only the technical aspects I wish were different sometimes, but I do know it is really hard to get a good pic that accurately showcases the makeup and looks good to the subject's (sometimes very hypercritical) eyes.
I don't have an issue with the poses as long as they are fairly close up. As you say Ash, the differences in everyone are what makes it interesting.
