Beauty Pet Peeves

Okay, so this post might sound a little mean, but I think it's kind of hilarious. I mean, we all have these, when we see other people commit certain beauty crimes, we cringe. Some get me more than others, but here's my list.

1. Mismatched foundation/skin color that leads to the "foundation mask." Or unblended foundation. Shudders abound. I hate this. It makes me want to grab someone and blend for them. Sometimes, if it's a close friend or someone I know, I'll actually do that.
2. Lashes that are curled STRAIGHT UP and don't actually curl, they just stick up straight... hideous. You curled too much and used too much product. It's like they curled, did a coat of mascara, curled, another coat of mascara and curled again. It's gross.
3. Lip liner that DOES NOT MATCH YOUR LIPSTICK. That's all I have to say about that.
4. Over-plucked/drawn in eyebrows.
5. Blush overload. Seriously? Do you want to look like a kewpie doll?
6. Super thick "winged out" black eyeliner.... especially when it smudges. Especially when they have an attitude like they're such amazing make up artists...please, honey.
7. MAC snobs. There are other, incredibly good make up lines out there, and owning a shitload of MAC products does not make you a "make up maven". Expand your horizons, sweetie.
8. Wearing 6 inches of make up all over your face. We are NOT on stage.
9. Orange bronzer. And glittery bronzer. And not knowing how or where to apply bronzer, yes it will make your face look dirty.
10. Paint by numbers eyeshadow. It is exactly what it sounds like. Your eyelids are NOT a paint by numbers canvas. Stick to 3 colors MAXIMUM for day, please.

Seriously, ladies, make up is meant to enhance what is there, not to completely change the way you look. It is not necessary to wear it every single day. It doesn't matter what anyone else says to you. It's your choice and you're beautiful with or without it. It is not always about the physical, remember that.
