That pink lippie on older women? There are a couple of books on how to "look younger" out there that either advocate that or DICTATE it. Only pink lipstick for oldsters, no red, no mauve, ONLY PINK as it makes you look young. Then they show a picture of Heather Locklear. Okay, if I am colored like Heather, maybe, but I am more Dita Von Teese or if you are Anne Bancroft, look out!
Besides, maybe I don't want to look young. I want to look like me, but better. And I am 50. I will leave looking young to those who ARE young and I will try to look like me, thanks.
So, I guess old gals trying to look young instead of like their own fab selves.

1. CoverGirl's lip products; especially the long wear lip stuff-- it has a smell that makes me cringe.

2. The heavy bronzer effect (as if you rubbed dirt on your face... learn to build color and blend people!)

3. Thick eyeliner on older women & spider like eyelashes (like Tammy Fay).

4. Orange Lipstick-- I don't like it on anyone, unless it's Halloween or Drag. Not to offend anyone; it's just a personal thing.

5. Harsh lines!!! There's 2 gals that work at my local Victoria's Secrect... they NEVER blend thier e/s's. Just think pink & purple side by side with a HARSH line in ther center of thier eyelids. It's drives me crazy.

I love this thread!

Mine have been said but they are:

- Orange skin teamed with bleached blonde hair
- Drawn on brows
- Too much lip gloss
- One colour eyeshadow from lash line to brow bone

Black "makeup boogers" in the inside corner of the eye!
Lipstick over cracked lips
"i just ate a bucket of fried chicken" lipgloss

GROSS!

I think everyone should be allowed to express themselves however they feel most comfortable. And white eyeliner is something that everyone should own. The next time you are exhausted or hungover, try a bit on the water line and tell me you don't look brighter than you did without it. Its important to learn to laugh at ourselves, DON"T TAKE LIFE SO SERIOUSLY! If you want to be one of thousands of dreary, boring, cookie cutters than do so.

Re: What kind of Make-up that makes you go EWWW or turns you off and why?

This thread is fantastic.
- Falsies that are applied so that there is a gap between the natural lashes and the band. I understand that it takes practice, but how could you possibly think your application looked alright if there's a giant space on your eyes!?
- On the topic of spaces, I HATE it when ladies use liquid liners and don't wear mascara, OR when they don't get it on the lash line so there's a patch of skin there and then they repeat the process on the bottom lash line. EW.
- Orange skin. Just no. It's not natural.
- The chalky concealor lips. I don't understand why people think this looks good? I'll admit I've used foundation or concealor on my lips, but usually only on the edges to prevent bleeding or feathering. Sometimes on my lips, but followed with a lipstick. It's just to wash out my natural lip color.
- Makeup places that hire people who actually have no makeup skill whatsoever. Ever heard of Provici? Well, they're notorious for this. I feel sorry for people who pay to get their makeup done there. They don't train their employees. Ugh. Like I'm sure there are some people there with skill, but yikes. Not from what I've seen.
- NO BLENDING. Harsh lines drive me crazy, unless done well (The Kim Kardishan smokey eye tut on specktra, for example). But when chicks have their shadows on and there's just a nice line separating them, it's not hot. Or there's a big circle past their eye of color. Yuck.

There's probably more but I don't want to go on forever. I feel like such a bitch now haha

Re: What kind of Make-up that makes you go EWWW or turns you off and why?

i hate when people wear liner on the bottom only with nothing on the lid. i have seen it done - more so when i was younger i had friends who did it but it always freaked me out.

I know some people arent fans of the tattooed brows/eyeliner. But when done right, and subtly, it looks very good! I had my upper and lower lashline tattooed about 2 years ago. the top eye is before and bottom is two years after. i think immediately after and for a couple of months after, it was a little darker. but still looked very nice IMO. the tattoo is between the lashes not on the actual waterline. i think it makes my lashes on top look fuller even though im lucky enough to have pretty long lashes as is. (no makeup on any of these pics).

I've had my eyebrows tattooed also but because like a dumbass when i was young 13-15ish, i overplucked them so much, i killed the root and they grew back very sparingly. so they are tattooed but i still have hair there, just minimally so the tattoo doesnt look so harsh. the key is to go to a good permanent makeup person. not down the street to your local hair / nail place where the same lady that does your hair is now doing permanent makeup.

Re: What kind of Make-up that makes you go EWWW or turns you off and why?

haha i have so many pet peeves...
lip liner that lies out side of the lip and is super obvious - ew!
cakey foundation esp. over bad skin where you can see all the junk underneath (ie girls who can't apply foundation well to cover bad skin and instead it just emphasizes it!)
foundation that isn't blended well...especially when there is an obvious line on the chin - and for that matter, neck and face not matching! if you use a bronzer on your face make it work down into your neck too you can't have a dark face and a pale neck that looks so weird!
full eye makeup and no mascara - looks so unfinished!
and fake eyebrows... i just think filled in real brows look best and it looks odd when girls have no brows and it's just drawn on.. and it kind of scares me to think what they look like w/o any

Yup!
I tend to think that it might be because a. make-up was much more about bold lipstick when they were young and established their taste and signature look than it is today,
and b. playing around with bright eyeshadows on wrinkly, 80-year-old lids isn't that easy. Bright lipstick is totally wearable, though. Old ladies like colour too.

The after looks really good. It's so close to the lash line that you can still wear normal eyeliner. Cool.

A thick line of White Eyeliner on the upper lid , and I don't mean the nice looking eyeliner that brightens the eye , I mean the one that looks like you have on White-Out on your eyelid and its not blended at all - just horrible

How about cream blushes, its the perfect place to harbour the growth of bacteria. The idea of re-using that same blush over and over again gives me the impression that you're putting bacteria on your face, even if you said a clean finger or brush every time! Same goes for paint pots even though I love my barestudy to death, I just can't help but wonder whats growing in there!

People who hardly ever (or worse, NEVER) wash their makeup applicators, what's up with that??! The worst is when powder products (e.g. eyeshadows) get that hardened layer on top, from all the oils that are being transferred from the unwashed brush or sponge. Yechhh!! I couldn't even go a week without cleaning my eyeshadow brushes, let alone months...

I have a friend who always used a CG cream compact foundation. She would use the sponge that came with until the product was empty. She once even complained to me that after a while it smelled funny, but she kept using it! That made me cringe. I tried to get her to switch to a brush, but she wouldn't, so I at least got her to buy a big bag of clean sponges.
