Makeup Crimes

[darkh3av3n]

I started to really wear mu in high school, so for me my crimes are:

1) Wearing dark lipliner and a slick of clear gloss
2) Wearing no foundation but had a complete face on!
3) Wearing purple e/s and this cheap purple e/l pencil everyday for like months
4) Putting on liquid e/l, getting so annoyed that I coudnt get the wing right, removing it and reapplying x15 (I was in the mirror for like 45 mins!)
5) Thinking everything "glittery" on the face was "cool"

Sheesh I have a lot of no-nos!

haha. i actually thought that was cute!

let's see if i remember any...
i started wearing foundation in grade 9. it was too pale.
i switched in grade 10 and it was too dark.
i also wore brown lipstick with the pale powder foundation. ew.
i was also in the baby blue eyeshadow frenzy in grade 8 and 9.

after that, i gave up on foundation. i only used lipgloss.

i still have problems with foundation coming too orange and i'm 19. i came to the conclusion that i cannot wear MAC foundation.

HAHAHA MEEE TOO! Same thing when I was in junior high. Except I never drew in my brows since they are really thick (mannnn I have extremely bushy brows) but I would have thick eyeliner too. One of these days I'm going to recreate that look and scare my boyfriend. I've told him how I used to do my makeup and he gets disgusted when I mention it I still have the same lipliner too!

I used to shave my eyebrows half off..I would do this regularly and thought it looked good. Despite this, I would make up funny excuses to tell people why they looked this way: someone put Nair in my shampoo, my friend shaved my eyebrows when i was sleeping.
Then in my 8th grade school picture, I drew half eyebrows on with black eyeliner lol.

Also, I would rock wet and wild blue eyeshadow with bright red lipstick and wear clumpy mascara.
Thank god I went to an all girls high school!!!

 

[xheylushx]

ugh I used to wear purple (badly applied) eyeliner with purple mascara every day in seventh grade. No one ever taught me exactly how to put on eyeliner so I just kind of guessed, I missed the lashline a little bit...it was quite a look.

Then there was my black eyeliner stage. I still love black eyeliner but then I wore it with out mascara and still it was badly applied.

I used to wear ugly purple metallic cream eyeshadow up to my crease.

Bleh in 10th grade I used to wear hot pink eyeshadow over my entire lid. it look horrible.

 

[Macnarsandlove]

Oh man I used to use a lot of makeup that looked crazy and my hair was a mess until 10th grade when I got a job and went to the salon. Here are all of my crimes:
blue mascara
silver e/s-nc45/50 and it was bright silver
badly shaped brows-think 1/2 the mcdonalds arch shape
wet and wild black liner lined lips
frosty ls
and bangs that were tightly curled with a 1" iron with weekly burn marks on my forehead from where I'd flinch- thanks for letting me go out the house like that,mom.
And all the glitter thing in middle school. Thats all I got. OMG I cant believe I said al that.

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,..

I'm also waiting for a MAC Red eyeshadow.Hopefully soon.

I can't remember if I told about this already, but I used to just wear eyeliner under my eyes. I started out wearing black eyeliner on just my waterline, then I got sick of how difficult it was to remove, and started putting it on my lower lashline instead, with the logic that mascara was "enough" to balance it out... WHAT.

 

[Beauty Mark]

I saw a women with her lower eyelashes drawn in with liquid eyeliner. It basically little littles underneath her lash line.

She looked like a doll and in not a good way.

 

[cyens]

1) Wearing revlon's cream formula eyeshadows, which crease and look awfull.
2) Wearing gunmetal sparkly eyeliner with a silver eyeshadow.
3) Only putting concealer on ( nyc of course ) and eyeshadows and nothing else.

thats about it for old times mistakes.

This thread has me rolling! "half mac donald's brows" LMAO

My own crime was to wear pale blue eyeliner. *shudders*
I'm a Brunette with black eyes... It was hideous, I looked like Casper the ghost. I also bought too pale foundation, which made my nose skin flake. *violent spine shudder*
I only wore it a few times. I knew it was bad, but I had paid much $$ for it and was disgusted to admit I made a mistake.

Lovin' this thread... so cathartic LOL

Twiggy!! :nana:

Ah, high school...
The gel body glitter craze. Oh yes. I had glitter EVERYWHERE. Glitter lipstick, lipgloss, mascara...
Oh, and the Revlon Streetwear line? Yeah, that blue lipstick was my favorite.
And yes, I tried to wear brown lipstick like everyone did in the 90s, and it made me look so dead.

But my worst crime? The tanning bed. As soon as I could drive, I took my ass to the tanning bed and baked myself into oblivion. Now, I'm naturally NW15. And melanoma runs in my family. On both sides. Smart, huh? But I baked until my entire stomach and chest BLISTERED and I seriously smelled like burnt meat. I did this several times. And some boy still told me I was way hotter tan. See why I did it? Now I'm just glad they make good self tanning lotions, and I'll never go near a tanning salon again.

I also used to wear a ton of body glitter in middle school. I though I looked so cool, haha. I also used to use those cream shadows Maybelline used to have in the round pots and it had four colors. They creased soooo bad.

Really orange blush and orange lipgloss, paired with orange tinted moisturizer and smeary, sparkley black Wet 'n' Wild eyeliner in grade 8.

Bad year.

i still do that, but i use a blowdyer instead, and i use a brush to pick up the product instead so i dont burn my eye

i think my worst crime is putting my makeup trust in my friends. dont get me wrong i love em to death but their makeup skills....

i let my friend pick out my foundation once and i ended up getting a shade that was about 5 times darker than my natural shade (this was when we were 12 and my friend thought she knew a lot about makeup). i have fairly light skin and the shade i picked out was too dark even for my friend who had skin the color of milk chocolate.. DEFINATELY THE WRONG COLOR CHOICE!!! the foundation itself was very thick and you could see it from a mile away not to mention i broke out because of it so i had to use more to cover up my problems. i also wore very thick eyeliner that smudged all over my eye and looked terrible. my friend also used to do my makeup from time to time and i always looked terrible! i have asian eyes and so makeup looks different on me than it does on her... she never seemed to quite grasp that concept. i would always either look really washed out (pale silver eye shadow, white lipstick) or like i was just beat up (dark blue eyeshadow down to my cheeks)

lol...

I only line the bottom of my eyes when I'm doing lazy MU. Since it you dont do it heavy, mascara is enough to balance it out. I also have fairly deep set eyes, so I feel like a lot of liner on my upper lid makes me eyes look even deeper.

Are you talking about the Dream Mousse eyeshadow? I know something cool to do with that. You put on a regular base, then put the Dream Mousse eyeshadow over the entire area where you're going to have eyeshadow, then do the rest of your eyeshadow over it... the reason it's cool is because it sparkles through everything on top of it. It sucks by itself, though.
