FOTDs Peeves

[sharkbytes]

This is more of a tutorial thing than an FOTD thing (but I feel like it counts, since I'm referring to the photo tutorials)...but one of my pet peeves is only focusing on eyes, and then just adding a quick sentence like, "oh I did foundation, lips, cheeks, and brows" without actually showing that. I like to see the whole thing! Especially the tutorials that show some really awesome contouring and highlighting, I love to see what tools techniques and products people use for that.


**please note, I do appreciate the time and trouble people go through to post those, and I enjoy them regardless.

Damn, y'all are harsh! Really, I think the only thing that really bugs me is when I get the "photobucket bandwidth exceeded" and similar images.. lmao!

 

[kittykit]

^ Ditto.

The other thing that bugs me is blurry pictures.

SAME HERE! I post my FOTD's and specifically ask for criticism and no one ever gives it :/ Like, if my foundation is the wrong shade, tell me! Or tell me to wax my crazy eyebrows or peach fuzz mustache! Compliments are nice if there's something outstanding about the look, but tips and criticism helps in the long run.

I can't stand a million zillion pictures of the same look AND in the same angle.

- not listing the products used
- not rotating pictures to be right side up (it takes all of 5 seconds to do)
- people who post tons of FOTDs that all look exactly the same
- myspace face (ridiculous angles, over pouting the lips, blow job face, hair in face)
- very dark or blurry pics that make it impossible to see the makeup

The biggest pet peeve for me is the people who post tons of identical FOTDs because then the more unique FOTDs get pushed down and missed.

Thanks to the users who posted "not having a closed eye picture" in FOTDs as a peeve, I started doing it!

Peer pressure! Thanks, darlings.

im afraid to post and tell someone that their foundation is maybe a shade or four too dark and the wrong tone(too yellow ect...) i feel like my head might be bitten off. cuz i mean that person already may have four pages of people saying the same 'oh you look so great'....'awesome'....'gorgeous look', but no one offering any tips on how the person could maybe improve thier look a bit.

Yeah, you could see that on Livejournal, girls telling others how bad their foundation look and such, but here it's more friendly.

There's plenty of polite ways telling things to people, but you could write the person a private message. I don't think you would have your head bitten off

Usually when somebody ask for constructive critisism, you can tell them
If they don't, then you could send them a private message...
As for myself, I would not be mad at a person who would send me one for this reason, it's helping!

Not much really annoys me apart from out of focus, bad quality uber-flash photography, which could apply to anything, including FOTD's.
Learn to use the camera D: Making your skin blank out from an uberflash is. not. attractive.

I don't like it when they watermark the whole picture, especially when it's on an eye shot.. I'm distracted by the mark. Very annoying. I know people have to protect their picture.. but does it have to be in the middle dividing up your picture in half?

That and the 5 million pictures of the same thing.

1) I hate the funny face

2) I hate when the make up is horrible, they know it's horrible, but still post it.

3) I hate "Model look". You know, when there's no smile at all, just a blank ass stare. <<< I really hate that one.

4) The curl lip and arched eyebrow photos. Like it's cute to look like you have an attitude.

 

[Boasorte]

I hate the 237284373247290 pics, blurry pics, odee over sized pictures, like come on, ur effing my my PC with those big a^^ pics. Oh and the kissy faces! Bloody HELL!

 

[L1LMAMAJ]

i hope i don't annoy anyone with my fotd's!! lol i do the same angles and faces because why fix something if it ain't broke right?? hhehehehe but i do tend to do similar looks. -__- i need more ideas!

my fotd peeves would have to be blurry images, links (too lazy to click), bad lighting.

I must admit that I really dislike FOTD's with too much pictures
And too photoshopped ones
I also don't comment a lot, I only press thank when I really like a FOTD, but that's just me. I think it's as valuable as a comment
