One of my closest friends since highschool is one of the most beautiful women you'll ever meet. She's beautiful...and makeup doesn't suit her. It actually takes away from her beauty. When she's wearing makeup, her features change and she just isn't as stunning as when she goes natural.

The billions a yr that are spent on makeup/beauty products doesnt prove me wrong though... BTW U damn right I'm superficial BUT bottom line ppl look better with makeup IMO. |

some people have an amazing natural beauty that they really DO NOT need to wear foundation because they already have clear and glowy skin. Some people are blessed with insanely full and long lashes so they do not need mascara. its not fair to tell these people that their beauty is mediocre because they are not wearing makeup.

I have a strange and specific make-up turnoff . . . when women line their bottom lash line, but way too far below the lash line to look normal.
I have a friend at work who does this. Beautiful face, beautiful fair complexion, natural blonde hair. Wears very little makeup and looks good that way. BUT - everyday she applies a heavy line of black eyeliner beneath her lower lash line, and by beneath, I mean that there's a visible line of pink skin showing between her natural lashline and the line she draws on. And, sadly, the line is never straight. And even more sadly, the line starts to smudge and migrate as the day wears on.
I don't know if the friendly thing to do would be to tell her, or if it would be better to never mention it.

I've written about five different responses to this statement, but I think I'll just condense them into one sentence.
What a sad statement, and I genuinely feel sorry that you're locked into that negative mode of thinking about beauty.

Here's something that I notice A LOT...when someone pulls their makeup bag out of their handbag to reapply lipstick or powder or whatever, and out comes the grossest, grimiest, dirtiest crap ever!! Like they've kicked the contents up and down the street a few times and then placed everything back in. I realize that compacts, blushes, lipsticks, etc. don't stay pristine when carried around in a makeup case, but geez!!!
Also, I have a friend that is not very into makeup, which is just fine...but the one thing she DOES wear religiously is this dark muddy brown matte lipstick which does nothing for her fair complexion other than make her look dull...and I don't have the guts to tell her.
One last thing...and this is a major eww to me ...when a friend asks me to borrow a lip gloss. I don't know how to say no, but I just can't stand the idea of using it again after, so I end up chucking it. I just don't like sharing lip products.

Re: What kind of Make-up that makes you go EWWW or turns you off and why?
i don't like when people with light colored lashes wear black mascara, but they don't take the time to wiggle the brush down to the base of their lashes. It gets on my nerves -- stick straight with black just on the tips!!
And also when people line their eyes with black liner only on the bottom. I don't hate it, but I always stare unintentionally cuz I don't get it...
ETA: oh! i thought of another! When someone goes all out with the m.u. but doesn't do liner or mascara. Sometimes no liner works, but you know those certain times that they need it to finish/polish off the look? That's what I'm referring to

I can't stand the look of jauntily applied liquid liner.
I get it when you're wearing shadows or whatever, and you can't really see the liner...and I know everybody has different levels of skill in different makeup departments lol. BUT when the only thing the person is wearing on their lid is liquid liner and it's applied all uneven and raggedy..I just think..what the hell. No way in the world does someone do that and think "yep, great!", and if they do, good for them, but I think it just looks raggedy.
If you want a quick swoop of darkness on your lid with minimal effort, do it with a pencil at least..that gives the artistic licence to be a little bit jaggedy!!

haha this thread is not doing wonders for my morale.
I don't like women whose eyebrows don't match their eyebrow makeup.. but I used to do that because I dyed my hair and wanted my brows to match my hair but my eyebrows themselves were a different colour!

Oh God, I'm my biggest peeve. Me in my early teens, that is. My best friend was so good at makeup and I never took her advice.
My 'look' involved smearing foundie two shades darker than my skin (which was really nice!) all over my face, messy black liner dragged on, 100 coats of probably Great Lash, a tablespoon of gloss, and crazy, crazy, madwoman brows. The brows sort of went for a centimetre or two, went all wiggly and disappeared...?
I had a male classmate say to me once 'What happened to your eyebrows? They just sort of... stop?'
Follies of youth. *shudder*

In 7th grade, I decided that in addition to frosting my hair, it would be a good idea to wear pink and blue eyeshadow. One half of my eyelid was pink, the other was blue. And I mean vertical half, not horizontal half.
Pair that with my black eyeliner and my electric blue mascara, and I was one hot bitch!

There is a girl in my Accounting class who is such a cutie, but likes to wear harsh black eyeliner up way past her fold (she is Asian) so it sort of makes her look like a raccoon/panda. The guy who sits next to me consistently points her out to me, telling me that she scares him lol. Hey, I love myself a dark smokey eye but...blend...please...you're really just detracting from your lovely face!

Re: What kind of Make-up that makes you go EWWW or turns you off and why?
i'm another one who hates people breaking out their make up bag in the bath room for touch ups and it's the dirtiest and grottiest thing you've ever seen!!! one of my friends doesn't wear much make up but years ago we went to selfridges and she bought a few nice make up items. one of which was mac snowgirl lipgloss (it was basically glitter in a tube so i imagine it was this one!) now 5 years later she still has this lipgloss. however the colour in the tube has got a brown tint to it rather than a whitish tint. i asked her if i could smell it and it smelt like crayons!!! i told her that it had gone off (5 years isnt bad for a lipgloss but i think it was out of date wayyy before this judging by the colour!) gross thing is she just shrugged and said that she didn't care and continues to use it! gross!!!
another one of my friends was telling me that her mum gave her some make up that she didnt use or want anymore. i thought that was really sweet and asked what make up it was. she said it was some avon eyeshadows, lipsticks and mascaras. my friend also said that the best part was is that it's all really old and still not gone off! i asked just how old and she said about 10 years!!!
10 year old mascara? that's still good? and been used by somebody else? i think not!!!
old make up makes my skin crawl!
