Those were my favorite in middle school! (Complete with a mood ring, of course)
The lips always stayed fuschia & the ring was always blue or black, but I was damn cool.

Hey Hey! Be nice to the Glitter,.. its not about the glitter but HOW you wear it,.. LOL. Oh and someone might wanna arrest me in advance,.. waiting for MAC to come out with a really red eyeshadow has me in a tizzy,. I love my Ruby Slipper I just dont like the texture or quite how it sits,.. so as I lovingly gaze at my Ruby Woo and Crimson Lipmix-,.. I think Hmm some people do use lipsticks kinda like a shadestick,.... do I dare to venture there? See if it works of if I must add it to my "list" of crimes,.. Hmmm,.. Oh and BTW recently I again revisited the black eyeliner with a silver accent just above it,.. and thank god I can actually make it look good now-a days,......

Theres a lot to be said for gaining skills,..

LOL to what Lara wrote. I tried to separate my lashes with a safety pin and ended up scratching my cornea. I had to wear an eye patch for like, three days. That was 12 years ago and it still hurts after a shower and sometimes in the middle of the night the pain wakes me up and my eye waters for like 2 hours.....moral of the story...girls, do NOT try this!!!!

Well, it isn't a real crime like misuse of product, but I think it's sad when people are afraid to experiment with color combinations. It's a real crime to stick to routine or whatever comes in a quad or palette. Mix it up a little! Makes life more interesting.

The worst one I can remember would probably be wearing some cheap frosty blue bonbons lipstick in 6th grade. I also would wear some frosty white eyeshadow with no other makeup on, not even mascara.

I have a teacher whose makeup looks horrible. She wears a lot of shimmery white eyeshadow. She wears black liquid eyeliner and mascara, and the space between her eyelashes and her liquid eyeliner is visible when she is standing on the other side of the room. Her lips are always maroon and completely matte.

I didn't start wearing makeup until laaaaate, probably age 17.

In highschool, I used to wear shimmery gray eyeshadow and NOTHING else (besides concealer). Sometimes I would mix it up a bit with clear mascara and I have blonde eyelashes! Whenever I would go out with my friends, we would pile on the glitter/shimmer...shoulders, hair, non-existant cleavage...

In college, I was a huge fan of the black eyeliner. Now I won't go near the stuff, I'm just too pale so it always ends up look really stark on me.

I also didn't start plucking my eyebrows until I was 18 or 19 *shudders* At least when I did start, I didn't have any problems with overplucking.

I haven't worn foundation in three or fours years because A) I am lazy, B) I have even skin and I never break out, and C) I have some light freckles that I am rather fond of. I do tend to get a red nose pretty easily (from the cold, or any sort of emotion) so I am considering getting something for winter or special occassions. I'm getting married in September so I will definitely be getting a foundation for that.

OMG! I loooooved my plastic shines... I had the black, the black/red and the white/grey... *sob*
I mean, I'm way too old to pull that off now, but mahnnnnn... those were fabulous things. They didn't bleed, they had huge color payoff... wore them to clubs. All the photos of me from the early '90's... black or blood lips.
I miss my plastic shines...

I love this thread, too.
Just had another flashback...
15, fully gothed... I had a sterling silver looong fake pinkie nail I used eyelash glue to stick on every day.
Now I know what it was for.
So all my grade 9 teachers thought I had a coke habit. NIIIICE!!!

I have to admit, I still rock this look quite often...and get a lot of compliments on it actually. (White frost on the lid & highlight, some random but subtle crease color, blacktrack & VG1...it's my "lazy day" look)

However, I'm not a fan of the space between my lashes & liner, of course.

This is a really funny thread, thanks for making me laugh. I also used to melt my eye pencil and use it in my waterline, it was such a great olive/gold pencil, but not meant for inside the eye...

My worst offense was wearing white mascara for a few months. This was back in the eighties (think Cyndi Lauper), what's worse is that I could only find one tube here, I was going to London and came back with half a dozen tubes. I was on the subway and some little kid asked his mother what was wrong with my eyes, I think I finally through out the rest of the mascara.

Oh and I loved the Dior plastic shines as well, the black was fab!

When I was about 10 or 11, I bought purple Hello Kitty blush.

The only other thing that stands out in my mind is when I was a freshman in high school, I went to the Clinique counter for my first makeover and bought the products...the makeup artist gave me pretty thick foundation and a jar of loose powder, and I was too naive to understand that just because she picked it out for me didn't mean it wasn't too heavy.

I also suffered for years under the belief that if I wanted to wear foundation, it would have to be too dark since no one had anything that matched my NC15 skin. Until I found MAC, of course. (Although Urban Decay had some nice stuff that made me sigh with relief as well)

 

[Indian Barbie]

Lol I used to put on the brightest red blush on my cheeks and my mums bright red lipstick and electic blue on my eyes and I looked like someone from a red light district! (Bear in mind I was only 10)

ooh and I don't like it when people shave off their eyebrows completely and draw a line.

 

[pearl]

I used to melt my eyeliners with lighters too. Sometimes I'd even stick them in my mouth & try to melt them with my breath.

Ewww.. That eyeliner would also be black and I would use it on my water line and on my upperlashes and not bother with any other makeup.

And I do that too!

My most recent crime.. I grabbed a VS Lotion off my counter and applied it on the bus.. My hands felt gritty so I look at the bottle and its exfoliant! Whoops!

I think I'll stop there!

 

[User49]

When I first started to wear make up I just dolloped on blue eyeshadow like nothing else! I looked like a blue panda. And the fact that I was so young didn't help either.

Next offense after that one... too much creme eyeshadow and gloss over the top of it. An hour after doing my make up i had black liner caked over my eye crease and a mess of eyeshadow colours all over my lids. Not pretty. Not easy to fix either. Lesson learned! (Less is more!)

 

[ShirleyK]

When I was:
17-18 Blusher on my cheeks was too pink, like monkey ass... and I wear Blue frost eyeshadows real thick and it was the first time I wear Make-up.

19-21 Wear the wrong foundation, either it's tooooo PINK or ORANGE, till now I still can't find my right colour.

When I am:
23- which is now, I over plucked my eyebrow and it's not even. Left side brow is too high and right side brow is too low
