Okay, I've got one...
I don't like it when someone's eye makeup consists of one color scheme from upper lashline to brow, but then they have some completely unrelated color (usually bright) on their lower lashline.
Definitely not a faux pas in general, because I've seen people whose application is great and they do that. And I'm sure a lot of people here like it, it just personally bothers me.

:huh2: Can you tell I haven't had coffee yet this arvo?? When I saw the title of this thread, my first thought was, "WTH?? People out there put makeup on their pets?!? And then they get peeved about it?!?"
I wonder what would be in a thread like that - "Help! How to stop my poodle from over-blushing!" "Tightlining - my goldfish just doesn't get it..."
Anyway, I now get the thread, and would like to contribute that the obviously fake-tanned look is an annoyance of mine, especially when it's winter... likewise too dark foundation!

Hmm. Here are some of my pet peeves, mostly repeats of stuff that's already been said.
- clumpy mascara. spidery chunky lashes are not cute.
- black eyeshadow all over the lid. just that one color of black.
- white eyeliner on the upper lid. wtf? it looks ok at best on the lower lid (even that's stretching it, it usually looks unnatural, esp. if you have darker skin like I do)
- really pale lipcolors on really tan people. hello, corpse fashion!
- too much bronzer. it makes you look orange/dirty, not ~*sexy*~
- eyebrows that aren't the right shape, length, etc. for your face. i esp. dislike the "shave it alllll off, draw it in a super arch w/ liquid eyeliner" look
- mustaches on girls. when your makeup looks gorgeous and then i suddenly notice your stache, it makes me feel sad.
- wrong foundation color
- really bright, unblended blush
- eyebrows that are the wrong color for one's hair
- when people have BRIGHT eyes and DARK lips and LOUD cheeks. it's like a color explosion.
- lipliner that's darker than the lipcolor
- red lipstick that's bled or gotten onto your teeth.
- people who always look "done." it makes it look like you're trying too hard. i like maximum payoff with minimal effort.
- concealer under the eyesthat reflects the flash all funny in photos.
- heavily applied foundation. allow your skin to BREATHE! slapping makeup over it is not going to fix the problem if your skin itself is having issues. deal with that first.
- the "porn star look" on people who are too young, or don't have the right coloring. even the porn stars don't look that good in it.
- tanning, it never looks as good to me as their natural skin color
- people who are naturally redheads or really pale blonde who wear black black eyeliner and mascara. it doesn't look flattering, it looks severe.
- idk if nails count, but chipped polish annoys the hell out of me. as does one broken nail and then the person chooses to leave the rest of the nails long instead of filing them down to match!
- too much lipgloss, makes the lips look like they're melting
- frosty pale lipcolors in general
- any "normal" makeup that makes me look at your makeup instead of how it makes your face look better (obv. the artsy/creative stuff doesn't fall into this category)

Most peeps makeup doesnt really bother me. Its their face, they can do what they want. But just brows. Ungroomed or drawn on. People dont realise how much potential is in the brows. My sister has pencil thin, reddish brown semi-circle brows. I'm forever telling her she would look so much better if she put some brows on. I convinced her to let me do her makeup one night and she looked like a total different person.
Even if she hasnt taken my advice and still sports her semi circle brows.

I probably did a lot of those things the people here are talking about, but I also have a few pet peves:
- When girls or guys have real acne problems(I'm not talking about a few spots here and there, no I'm talking about a face that actually IS spots) and try to cover it up with foundation. Most of the time they put on too much ("I still see the spots! I need to add more!"), and it all ends up looking really cakey.
- All those drawings with black eyeliner on the outer-v of the eye. A girl in my French class and Maths class does that too, almost everyday. Every time I come close to her I almost burst out laughing
- Black eyeliner only on the underlid of the eye (yes, yes I did that too...)
- People that are always getting their school diary/agenda with the mirror in it (they put a mirror in their diaries here), and looking in it every few minutes to 'correct' their lipgloss, eyeshadow or mascara. Really, I think the idea of the mirror is great, so you can watch yourself every once in a while, to check if all the make-up is still in place, but please... don't look into it every minute!

That's exactly what this thread was intended to be for: fun.
It was supposed to be just a bit of light-hearted exchange about the topic: "Don't You Hate It When ...?"
I certainly don't think that anyone should state that "If you wear suchandsuch, or don't wear thisandthat, you're ugly and stupid!"
Makeup IS fun, and sometimes the only way to get it right is by trial and error.
But, let's be honest; sometimes the errors look pretty silly.
And many of us have had to do a little healthy laughing at ourselves.

You and me both! For me, pale lips means I just wear clear lipgloss with really "done" eyes. Otherwise, I look like I am sickly and near death.

I feel your pain!
For most, the "near-death" look is not a good one. I like to have my eyes and lips about equally "done," though even I have my limits.
For example, when I wear a lipcolor like "Ruby Woo" or "Girl About Town," I wear low-key beiges or grays on my eyes.
Amusing Aside: Just yesterday I checked out on the MAC website the Spring 2007 Backstage Picks, and one of the featured looks, "Twisted Pigment," consisted of deep purples on eyes and bright fuchsia("Impassioned" lipstick, one of my favorites) on the lips.
It actually seemed like too much to me.

Okey I really need to get this off my chest, I posted earlier that if people want to follow ugly trends they can but this new one soooo baaaad
Okey I live in Sweden and I'm 16, and I've noticed a new trend here with the younger "popular" girls. (Say 12-16)
Okey. First off... They look hideous.
They all bleach their hair until it's white, white. This without considering if the white would match their skintone, which it never ever does.
They tease the hair to build volume, and this can be done nicely of course <3teasing, but no. They just tease tease tease, fix with two bottles of spray and let it sit like that.
Also the super long hair has become a big trend here. But, since they're 13 they can't afford a hair extension that looks good so most do homemade ones, and again this can be done nice, but it looks like they just glued yarn into their hair. wtf?
Now to the make up. ORANGE foundation. I seriously don't get why anyone would actually want to look orange.
At first I thought they they all had spent to much time at the tanning salon but no, they actually put that on their face.
Okey so blush, unblended of course. And in a really deep dark red, or glittery bronzer. And with their orange skin they just look dirty.
For the eyes? Eyeliner smeared around the eye, of course they didn't take the time to smudge it. So much mascara it doesn't even look like spiderlegs because there aren't enough lashes. More like one big monolash. And then frosty, sparkly white eyeshadow from lashline to brow. Yeah that really opens up your eyes girls.
And as for lips, the pale lips has become a trend here aswell, but I think they misunderstood it. They all use idomin on their lips, a thick cream from the pharmacy made for dry areas.
Okey I guess, they take care of their lips. But you can apply it without it showing but they of course layer it until the lips become white.
And yeah, to look like a true popular young girl in Sweden apply your make up like this, put on a really cute tanktop, nice boots, and some ugly, dirty sweatpants.
Voila, done.
(I'm so so tempted to post pictures of my younger sisters friends haha)
