Personally my own would be when people believe the whole point of wearing makeup is so everyone can tell your wearing it, ya know other wise whats the point?  I'm not a fan of that eyelashes stuck together, visible orange makeup line and red blusher, its a look that teens seem to be into at the moment. It creeps me out. |

| My makeup petpeeves are that I can't seem to get the liquid eyeliner to be not too thin and not too thick, and it smudges. Also when I have to wash off the eyeliner and mascara, it is just a mess. I hate the cleansing part so much I often don't wear makeup. Also when I do wear it, I feel it I look worse. |

It bugs me when I see a clear line of demarcation on a woman's jawline, usually b/c the foundation is too dark for her skin tone.
Also, it doesn't look attractive when people use lip liner to draw outside their lips trying to make them look bigger. It ends up just looking messy. |

Here, here - that one just bugs me. I also cannot stand it when someone has painted on clownbrows (eyebrows that are shaped like a clown and look like a clown). By the way, has anyone seen the eyebrow rub ons?? I called them press on eyebrows... I saw it in a magazine called healthy living. I suppose, however, if you had no eyebrows - it might be ok but I cannot imagine.

Oh yeah, that one bugs me, too. I think it looks silly, and they're not fooling anybody that their real lips are thinner. |

I agree on the 'clown brows'. A woman I work with has practically waxed her brows completely of, and draws a thin black semi-circle above her eyes. And she's blond. It looks horrific.
My pet peeve is when a woman is wearing lipstick that's begun to wear off so all that's left is around the edge of her mouth. C'mon, it only takes 10 seconds to reapply lipstick...
Also, really badly chipped nail polish. It just looks so nasty. |

| i have a few, including the clown/drawn-on eyebrows, foundation that is too dark, white eyeliner all around the eyes and too much white (or very light) eyeshadow, esp. when used from the lashline all the way up to the eyebrow. |

BROKEN COMPACTS. Okay, I realize this thread is about people looking silly with bad makeup techniques, but my slightly off-topic makeup pet peeve is when compacts/containers break WELL before the product is done being useful. Granted, I'm kinda rough on my cosmetics I guess, but I have SO many items with packaging that doesn't hold up to the test of time.
As for actual makeup looking bad on people pet peeves, I too hate clown brows, and I hate hate HATE that dark lip liner with light lip gloss look. So trashy. I hate the drawing outside of the lips thing too.
I also don't like bright orangey coral lipstick on anyone -- it just looks scary to me. SOFT corals are okay. 
And I personally don't like seeing pancakey thick foundation on anyone, but I'm a bit biased on that one -- I've never worn foundation, and I think most women look much better without it, even if your skin tone isn't perfectly even. I just wear concealer on problem spots, and once upon a time I wore tinted moisturizer, but even that felt like unnatural coloration to me.
And I hate bright pink blush circle spots, and I also hate long stripey obvious blush marks. Pretty much any blush that isn't super-subtle, haha.
Also, glittery eye shadow on anyone over about... well, over about 21, at least during the day, haha. Age limits are kind of silly to impose, but I just feel like this is a really immature look, and it should be saved for the nightclubs if at all. Just my opinion, though. Largely because I hate how glittery stuff gets stuck in the corners of my eyes and makes me think I'm seeing things!  |

What I probably find more funny than a pet peeve are all the oompa loompa's walking around - being orange is not a good look.
I think it's great that people are using fake tan instead of baking in the sun - but it can be over done and some colours are just not very natural looking.
Not a fan of the too dark lipliner either. |

My Peeves are things that can happen to the best of us ....
I really can't bare it when someone ( and in the past that someone was me  ) has covered up a spot with concealer and powder and a couple of hours later the whole area is all cakey and flaky and looks much worse that just a plain old spot. I guess the way make up on flaky skin can look like peeling paint work also.
I also don't like that eyeliner gloop that collects in the corner of a strongly made up eye at times and those little flakes of mascara that brake off mid flutter and hang around the upper check and eye area ... not very groomed looking! |

LOL, the definite makeup line at the jawline bugs me too!
Too much blush clown circles yech!
Scarlet red lipstick - I don't mind all red lipsticks, but the kind of red that veers towards orange just doesn't look good on most ladies!
If you're taking the time to apply beautiful eyeshadows, liner and mascara puleeeze! Clean the gunk from the corner of your eye!
Done ranting for now |

Yeah, I too hate the eye gunk, but that ALWAYS happens to me. As do raccoon eyes and mascara flakes and half-applied lipstick. AND the horrible cakey zit syndrome. I'm totally plagued by all of these beauty no-nos.
I'm trying to be more careful and occasionally check my appearance and reapply -- and I've found that switching to the Volumizing formula of Dr. H's mascara, plus switching to lip stains instead of lipsticks, has really helped. Still working on the concealer one, though! |

My makeup pet peeve is more of a "time appropriate" pet peeve.
NO offense to anyone but I think it is the silliest thing when women wear makeup TO THE GYM. I've witnessed women putting on makeup to go out onto the gym floor.
Anyone looks much better bare faced (natural is beautiful!) than foundation, mascara, and eye shadow running down your face after aerobic workouts or lifting.
That said...I'm a complete offender when it comes to eye gunk if I wear an eye pencil rather than taking the time to apply my MAC fluidline! |

Paris - I don't get that either  I sweat sooo much I'd end up looking like an abstract painting
Pandora - I have to admit I am probably one of those offenders of trying to cover up something (that I shouldn't have done  ) w/ concealer. Everyone can still see it.
And the drawn on eyebrows, and they inevitably have terrible shapes,....don't even get me started. What happened to their eyebrows anyway |

Young girls (around 15, 16) who have good skin and still pile on foundation an inch thick - and always in the wrong colour!!! Tide mark.
Too heavy makeup in general. There is a 26 y.o. woman who works at my local chemist and wears the heaviest makeup I have ever seen. Honestly it makes her look as if she is at least 35. I have to bite my lip to stop from telling her how awful she looks, and she's actually quite pretty. She would look fantastic with light makeup. In case you're wondering, she's not working at the makeup counter, so she is not one of the counter sales people who are forced by their job to wear the masklike makeup, and that in itself is another makeup pet peeve. Makeup sales people who have so much of the stuff slathered on their face you have no idea what they really look like.
Women who won't even leave the house without makeup. If you wear makeup every single day it gets to the point where you can't stand the look of your own face, and the one day you don't wear makeup everyone asks if you're ill.
Basically the same thing, but women who won't break a sweat because it might ruin their makeup. You know the ones, they go to the beach with makeup on and then won't go swimming. Their lives are controlled by keeping their makeup perfect and they miss out on so much. When I was in high school I was friends with a girl who was so paranoid about what she looked like without makeup that she wore mascara to bed. She ended up with a very bad eye infection - suprise suprise. |

| As for makeup at the gym, I think is OK especially is you just come from work but at least wash off the foundation! If you really are there to work out then it will come off with sweat anyway. Another pet peeve relates to a particular woman that was in my night school class, she was about mid 40's, bleached yellow blonde hair, princess Diana cut, frosty blue eyeshadow, teal eyeliner, fushia blush with matching lipstick and over outlined lipliner! Her clothes were always pink too. I couldn't stop staring at her, talk about a clown! |

eyemakeup worn to the office that would be more appropriate for nightclub is another one that makes me grit my teeth.
And a hoochie mama look NEVER looks good... |

This thread has made me laugh, I agree with all of the above.
Have you ever gone into a supermarket and seen someone with sparkly eyeshadow on, only on application it has gone all over their face and under the supermarket lighting ......woohooo glitterball!! (this I did myself )
I also hate when eyeshadow fades & you get a huge crease line, thank god for Urban Decay Primer Potion.
This thread reminds me I need to clean my make-up out, stop me creating any of the above. |

Racing-stripe blush (blend please) and/or red cheek apples (blend please).
Bronzer applied over one's entire face instead of just the high points.
Foundation that is too dark, too orangey, or too thick...Eek!
This really isn't a make-up application issue but how about that long wild hair sticking right out of a mole!!  Double Eek |

I was totally getting ready to write the same thing and then I saw your post! This look is completely hideous!
I also hate when people pluck out all of their eyebrows and then paint them on as well. What a pain to have to put your eyebrows on every morning! And you know that cant go without it cuz then they would look really weird. I have a friend who does this and she really regrets it. She says they come off in the night on her pillow and then she scares her husband in the morning! There are so many cons to this I don't know why anyone would do it. |

I only have a few pet peeves....I work in the cosmetic industry and I hate when people come in to get a new foundation and INSIST on getting one that it 3 shades too dark to make it look like they have "colour" or a healthy tan! Match your foundation to your skin colour people and use a blush or bronzer!!!
My other pet peeve is definitly when people use a dramaticly darker lip liner with a nude or lighter lipstick or gloss and when they try to make their lips look larger buy drawing their lips on up to their nose.....sorry if any of you do these things, no offence but they just bug me!! |

In L.A., we sadly have many women still hooked on collagen lips. One woman who often comes into the place where I work -- she looks demented, with her platypus lips. The edges look ravaged from injections, and the whole area is so unaturally swollen, it looks painful.
There is a body dismorphic disorder, where people cannot see themselves truly. This is what sisters and girlfriends are for, though. To slap us around and say "Honey. Listen. Not your best look." |
