Someone I know wears Bare Study paint pot on her lids every day (nothing else, just mascara) and it doesn't really suit her - she has mature skin and all the shimmer just emphasises it. I really wish I could sneak into her makeup bag and replace it with something matte. Arrrghhh...
Have you ever wanted to kidnap someone, redo their make-up then return them?!

I know someone like that too. She's 20 but looks 15 because of her clothes and no make up. I wish she wouldnt keep asking why she can't get a boyfriend. It's amazing what clothes and a little colour on your face can do.

My poor sister is 12 and looks like Victor Krum if I don't attack her brows periodically *sigh*
I hate that I have to but uh. Yeah. Cro-magnon is not how my baby sister needs to grow up.

^I have a sneaking suspicion that a lot of people used to say that about me when I was a child. I had monster eyebrows, I cringe when I look at school photos of me back then. Of course I photographed incredibly awkwardly at that age too, so maybe they didn't say I was beautiful.... Lol.

besides redoing bad makeup, has anyone seen someone just so gorgeous that you really want to just play with their face and try every look on them?
there's this girl in my lit class who is so gorgeous, like she could totally be a model, and I daydream about the looks I could do on her.

Not to be mean, but I've noticed the same thing w/a MAC MA here. Her skin is awful, and it takes a lot away from the looks she wears. I know she probably can't help it though

LMAO, u guys make me laugh! I have seen the red liner for the brows, the orange faces one too many times!
The thing with me is I just cannot stay quiet, dont panic, I do belive I have tact and am polite with my 'recommendations' on how they can improve.
One that sticks in my mind - a pretty girl walked onto the counter sporting a rather thick powdery layer of (nc15) foundation on her face and LIPS and nothing else.
It looked incredibly scary, hard to describe but she didnt look well and it looked really stark. She had hair extensions that looked totally unnatural, I just couldnt let her walk out with nothing but more foundation.
My colleague was serving her and when she finished I just hijacked her and asked if I could try some blusher on her... she seemed happy enough so I brightened her up with blusher and took the concealer right off her lips and replaced it with Cherry Blossom (coc) lipglass. Fortunately she loved both and bought them...
She did say that she didnt know how to apply the products thats why she never did. Unfortunately, she was back the other day and I didnt see any signs of blusher or lipgloss
Another one - our beauty department mngr came to our counter whilst we were doing our Saturday look - with a rather blotchy looking foundation and bronzer application. Normally she looks OK. Again I couldnt let her go so I said ''would you like to have the same look as all of us today?"
But she said she was too busy - but it looked pretty bad.
I really struggle on my train journeys where I see some shady MU applications but would never say anything.

I used to see this girl on my train that was always well put together, looking hot in sexy officewear. Then one day she was RADIOACTIVE ORANGE! The worst spray tan EVER. I mean she was BRIGHT! I thought if that was me I'd be at home scrubbing to get that crap off! I wouldn't go outside looking like that hahahaha

I don't see as many make up crimes now in high school except for the occasional emo that went bananas with their eyeliner. But when I was in 8th and 9th grade... oh man.
That was the period where girls first started experimenting with makeup so I can't hold it against them, they were newbies BUT WOW.
There was this look going on the we call "fjortis" that can basically be translated as brat.
Orange foundation or fake tan, dark red or bright pink blush in stripes, white lips, LOTS of super shimmery eyeshadow all over and heavily in the inner corner of the eyes then oodles of black eyeliner and I swear they must use a whole tube of mascara each morning SPIDER LASHES like nothing else.
*shudders* ontop of that add yellow, not blonde, super cheap extensions.
