Any of your friends have "makeup donts"?
i am not too sure where to put this so i thought i'd put it here.
EDIT: WHOA! did not mean to put it in deep thoughts! i meant to put it in chatter! (at least this way it's more private, i guess? haha) mods, feel free to move it to chatter or wherever you find appropriate!
do any of your friends do their makeup in a way that is a huge DONT in your mind?
i have a few. for one, one of my friends has really dark circles under her eyes. so she takes a concealer and layers it on top. she puts it on thickly and lets it "soak in" and then blends (...sort of). all fine and dandy right?
...except the concealer is about 3 shades LIGHTER than her skin. the only time she notices this is in photos and thinks its the flash of the camera that is illuminating it. so instead of walking around with dark circles under her eyes, she walks around with LIGHTER ones! i have suggested many times that we go pick up a peachy coloured concealer to cover the purple, but i guess she is quite content with her white circles.
there is another girl in my class who is adorable. light blonde hair, fair skin, freckles. adorable. except that she will put black mascara on her top lashes, really thick, and not her bottom ones. it's very cartoonish and i just want to go at her with some brown mascara!
don't take this the wrong way, it's just for fun/venting to those who might understand (more than my boyfriend
) !

Re: Any of your friends have "makeup donts"?
One of my closest friends in HS was very pale skin, w/very light blonde hair & gorgeous (that’s why she could get away w/this), she would not put her mascara all the way to where her lashline starts, so if you were close to her face it appeared that her lashes were suspended in midair…like they were just floating in front of her. It took a while to get used to it, because it looked a bit creepy.
I have a friend that until recently was wearing white liner on her top lashline.

One of my friends only applies foundation on her cheeks. In pictures, her entire T-Zone looks darker and less chalky compared to her cheeks. It's amazing how a flash can alter someone's skin color.
Also, I think we all know someone who does the whole dark lipliner, pale lipstick thing. People, it's not the 90's anymore, get over it. It does not make the lips look more pouty, or even kissable, or arousing. It's so not a good look.
Edited to add:
In the above I mean it looks horrible when the lipliner is in the shape of a line, and nothing is blended together. Otherwise, Chestnut fading into Myth can look fabulous, if blended well.

I have a friend who uses self-tanner on her face only... not even on her neck. I have another friend that only wear foundation and powder and eye stuff. She's pale as hell and could really benefit from some blush and lipstick. Oh well. I keep trying to push it on her.

One of my best friends does this and I don't have the heart to correct her, but it is one of my biggest pet peeves when it comes to makeup application. Her eyeliner (on the top) never is flush with her lash line. There is this little flesh colored line/gap between her purple eyeliner and mascara'd lashes. However, if it is my sister, I am mean and just tell her flat out to check her eyeliner. :

As a little girl, I would rummage through my mom's cosmetic case applying a light baby blue eye shadow from lash line to brow. I topped the look off with bright red lipstick; my cousin matched me in application with a bright purple shadow and fuchsia lipstick. During high school, I fell victim to the trend of wearing dark brown lip liner with a lighter nude lipstick. Glitter was the "in thing" and I proudly displayed my collection every weekend on my lips, cheeks and eyes. Stick foundation was applied directly from the tube onto the face with little to no blending and.... I never plucked my brows; I looked like a cave woman!

My friend “E” does not match her eye concealer with her natural skin tone; the color difference makes her look like she has raccoon eyes. And “G” shaves her brows off completely, drawing them back in with a thin fluidline (Brassy).

Hey! I still have Rum Raisin...

My biggest crimes have mostly been using thick, Halloween paint as foundation, using baby powder to set my foundation-scented baby powder too-and using lipglosses from nasty broads. Thank goodness I lucked out on the herpes train.
As far as friends and family, the most notable ones would have to be:
- My sister has a very backwards way of putting on eyeshadow. She uses the darkest shade on the lid, the lightest in the crease and the medium on the browbone and it just ends up looking muddy.
- One of the friends does the stripe cheek, and sometimes ends up looking like she's been burned with a curling iron.

I never used to use primer or wear mascara on a regular basis until about a month ago. I never used to throw out old mascaras either. Been there with he wrong shade of Foundation too lol and never concealing the bits that I really should have. I think that's about it. Oh and not washing off my make up off properly or just not bothering at all and then applying over the top the next day. Oh and wearing a glittery lipgloss just on it's own without anything else.
Oh and I only starting plucking my brows last week. (I'm 18). Before that I went through phases of shaving them off completely and drawing them back on. But I don't think of this as a crime because I really like the look and on some people I think it looks fantastic. But I guess that one os down to personal preference. I was just too lazy to shave and draw everyday I guess. It is a lot of work to keep up. And yes I have worn black lippie a couple of times when I was 15.

Can't forget Rum Raisin!
OMG!! Blast from the Past!! I haven't heard those words in forever and I used those shades constantly in 7-8th grade!!! hahahahaaaa!!!!

Anybody else ever use a sharpie for eyeliner when they lost theirs or ran out? My best friend used to do it all the time and got me to do it too. Sounds so stupid now, but when we were smokin' pot in Junior High.. man, it was a brilliant plan.
I've never done anything really bad with makeup, but my friend's girlfriend just makes me want to hold her down and scrub her face every time I see her. She wears her eyeliner incredibly thick and does black swirls at the ends of her eyes and jail house teardrops. Sometimes she'll have big triangles coming down from her eyes. Oh dear. It's really, really awful. Why does anybody think that's a good idea?

I used to tweeze my eyebrows so that they were sooooo thin. I took a passport photo with the terrible eyebrows about five years ago. A year ago, I went out of the country, so I pulled my passport out of storage. I was like, 'what was I thinking?' and I asked my friends why nobody ever bothered to tell me how bad I looked, and they just said, 'We thought you knew'. They've since grown in
When I was fourteen I wore concealer on my lips with clear lipgloss. Ew.

Hahaha, Toast of New York was my very first lipstick in 9th grade. Coupled of course with thick black eyeliner.

I used black eye liner to fill in my eyebrows after i had shaved off a little chink becuase I was bored - it looked like a complete idiot
I used to put my powdered blush on with my fingers- i had not figured out how to blend yet , so it looked like someone smacked my face
