Makeup Crimes

[Feminist.]

uhhh, i have a few.
1. no highlighter :|
2. not lining upper waterline
3. ridiculously inappropriate lip liner, not blended.
4. no foundation with done up eyes. i have quite rosy cheeks, and it was not so kickin'
5. no moisturizer under my foundation
6. semi-attractive eyes with BUSHY, practically UNTOUCHED brows! i am sometimes NOW guilty of letting my brows go too long without being touched... simply because i'm a lazy jerk.

to save the embarassment of the the girl....i have cropped her face.

but i must share this make up crime with everyone here as hopefully no one here commits this makeup crime. NEVER EVER plaster your whole body in foundation just to make yourself look fairer.

It looks un natural and fake especially when the foundation and powder is too light and not blended in properly with the skin.

If u wan to look fairer...save yourself the trouble and go bleach your skin.

I've shaved my eyebrows. Eww.
Used a shimmery, golden eye pencil (My mom's, haha) as a brow liner when I was about 9.

 

[fashionette]

Oh, and I mixed foundation, scented body lotion(!!!) & loose shimmer and applied to my face. eww.

NOT my crimes, but:

- Too thick of black eyeliner with an ugly shimmery white or blue layer on the lid. think ghetto trash looking.
- BRIGHT lipsticks with YELLOW TEETH. barf!
- Thick eyebrows, unless shaped
- Glitter/Shimmer on the WHOLE face lol

i was blessed enough to be born with long eyelashes, but none of my freinds were, so i thought i was the freak.. with that being said, and my eyelashes always bothered me when putting on mascara and wearing sunglasses, i decided to cut mine to be like everyone else.. I think my mom cried.. luckily they grew back and it made me realize my freakishly long lashes was a good thing..haha..

 

[Brittni]

WOW jlp! Rock those long lashes and don't ever get rid of them again! I'd be so afraid to do that... eeek!

Here's another one:

Fake moles. I think moles are gross to begin with...so please, refrain from putting them on your face. Cindy Crawford is NOT hot, okay thanks. (personal preference lol)

While reading this thread, I didn't want it to ever end! lol

Luckily, I've been really into makeup about as long as I've been lurking here.
*However, I also was a fan of Wet 'n Wild black eyeliner (and nothing else) in 9th and 10th grade (two years ago).
*I have also overplucked my eyebrows. (But they grew back!)
*I used to seperate my lashes with a #2 pencil on the occasions I would wear mascara.
*The only times where I would wear more than that were for dance performances. I looked terrible! Once I used a dark red lipliner all over my lips that I borrowed from someone I didn't even really know! And between dances I would cake on more and more cream eyeshadow stick. With all the sweat and the cheap eyeliner, I looked quite a mess.
*I trimmed my lashes one day when I was bored.
That's all I can think of for now, thank goodness.

But I do remember that before my friend's mom would let her wear mascara, she would use lipgloss. And sometimes it was sparkly lipgloss.

lol some of the posts in here are hilarious!

My crimes___

1)Wore foundation at the age of 13. It was a Covergirl, creamstick foundation that was sooooooooooo oily and nasty feeling. It clogged my pores and was impossible to get off every night. I looked like I was wearing a mask *shivers* My lame excuse--I was a kid and didn't know better.

2)Wore white eyeshadow all over the eye area. I thought it looked good at the time, but looking back I think I resembled a raccoon.

3)Not wearing mascara. Growing up I never wore mascara because it never seemed to work for me. It wasn't until very recently (19 years old) did I begin to experiment and now I can't leave the house without mascara.

I just committed one yesterday..shhhh

I ran out of foundation and had to use something on my face, so I settled for an MSF I bought last summer which is wayyyyyy too dark for me now. I put it on my neck too though so it looked fine.

Old crimes:

-only black eyeliner and only on the waterline. But I was 14 and everyone who wore makeup had this look too so oh well.

- My mom wouldn't let me use foundation and she bought this Clinique powder to use "instead" I have dry skin, wtf do I need powder for, it just makes it look worse! And also, I hate Clinique, all their products make my skin look like crap. So since I had no choice I attempted to cover up acne scars with powder..thanks mom.

-Green eyeshadow. It will never work on me. Ever. My friend who's a MU gave me this palette which had two gorgeous greens in it(a lime and a dark blue-green) It looked so bad on me but I wore it anyway because I loved the colors..

Black eyeliner across the top lid and the outer bit of the lower lashline, black mascara and intense red lipstick. Not so bad in and of itself, but I'm good and pale and didn't put any blush on with that. Hot.

Not washing my face when I was younger. Yummy.

Oh, and the odd time I used eyeshadow when I was younger, I'd use that little sponge applicator because I didn't have a brush. My god I hate those things.

Believe it or not, I never did the non-matching foundation.

I saw how bad other girls looked and avoided it!

 

[Nymphetish]

When I was 13 or so, I would apply lipstick on my eyelids and vica versa.

 

[macchristyy]

i used to wing my eye liner so much that it would look horrible! it wasnt a soft wing.. it was a thick long wing! ugh how dumb i was thinking i looked so cool with it. this was like 7th grade. ugh NEVER AGIAN!

i used those gross applicator sponge things that come with your cheap makeup haha. and never washed them! EW

i thought dark brown lips looked good on me.. which DOESNT AT ALL

good thing these never followed me to high school which is when i started using MAC and learned how to do make up and make a NICE looking winged eye haha

ohhh mannn so young and stupid..

 

[wifey806]

i didn't understand my oily skin, and also most drugstore brands back then didn't make foundation/powder for deeper skin tones. it was 10 shades of beige and then a ruddy super dark brown if anything. i didn't know blotting existed. instead, i'd cake Jane brand pressed powder in the darkest shade (too dark for me in the first place!) between each class period until the end of the day when i looked like a burn victim with mud on my face.

Did anyone else get that makeup "tip" in the teenie bopper mags about white eyeliner making your eyes brighter??? Completely washed my face out and looked terrible .... The sad thing is that my sister in law 8 years later to this day wears white eyeliner everyday.... It looks great on some people . Just not pale people.

i actually use a white kohl on my waterline - and it does make me look instantly awake and bright, even when tired.

if you overdo the white kohl though - it can look scary

 

[amandaxx]

No mascara. Ever.
Bright red lipstick with no lip liner.
Foundation that is too pink.
Yellow eyeshadow! It looks AMAZING on some people but on me I look like zombie. I used to wear it like every other day in 7th grade.

 

[onezumi]

Oh man.

- I did the overplucking thing and drew them in. In photos I looked like I was a clown.

- Bright green lipstick with black eyeliner as lipliner on top.

- Lining my eyes with a Sharpie when I was like 14.

- Drawing swirls extended from my eyeliner.

- I used a Hot Topic red face pigment thing as eyeliner and it dyed my contact lenses red! To this day I avoid HT. My lenses cost $250! You can imagine how bad that was in college!

It seems a lot of the people on this board are ex-goths, too.

 

[GlamourGrlJen]

Where do I start?!?!

Wore black eyeliner all the way around my eyes I seriously looked like a raccoon and to top off the look I wore the darkest burgundy l/s that I could find. Overplucked my eyebrows in about 2 days because my stepsister was plucking hers and I wanted to try. Remember that liquid glitter in a jar with a brush attached to the lid they sold at Hot Topic? I would wear that as eyeliner and tons of mascara the palest l/g I could find. Oh and I thought it'd be cool to rock red e/s. I looked as if I was deathly sick...not a good look!

 

[ewlialovesme]

I used to go for dead-person brown lips! So sexay!
