What kind of makeup turns you off and why?

^Same. I secretly wish I were a drag queen, so I guess I like to put my make-up on like that all the time... Even during the day. Even if I'm just going to the store.

Lol. My dad used to say that to me all the time. He always had crazy ass catch phrases. Actually I think I have posted that statement a few times on Specktra before.

I love drag makeup, and drag queens in general.

Biggest peeve is just poorly applied MU, but we all started somewhere.

girls on youtube who only ever do looks that consist of like five colors on ther eyes, a nasty silver/white highlight that is borderline drag, liquid liner, and fake lashes

Then are like "oh yeah.....i guess i have to put something on my lips"

They do know lipliner and lipstick is not only for dragqueens right?

Im starting to think the only really talented people on youtube are the sisters of Pixiwoo (spelling?) Thye rock my sox

most of my peeves have been covered esp. about lip liner and brows, however, I hate it when make up sales people try to make me buy coral lipstick, despite the fact it looks hideous on me, I'm sure most have read that it looks good on warm toned redheads in a magazine and hold to it regardless of what they can see with their own eyes.
Also people who insist that brown blusher is natural looking even though noone blushes brown ever and any blusher that is applied in stripes from the apple to the hair line, it just looks mad. they can do it to their own faces but no way in hell are they going to be allowed to do it to mine
And the ned/chav look, basically all of the worst things you can do with make up (over tanned, frosty pink lips, no brows badly blotched bleach job often scrapped back to give the appearence of a weird facelift etc) combined into the one look.
eyeshadow applied with fingers, esp later in the day and they havent washed their hands. I can almost see the germs and bacteria crawling all over their faces, it's just nasty.

Wearing pale lipstick but no blusher - it can wash the person out and blusher just nicely balances and finishes off the look

Unfilled eyebrows but perfect MU on rest of face

Unlined lips, for those who really need the definition

Tans that look orange (too much NW)

No concealer (99% of people need it)

Dry powdery MU on dry skin

Heavy eye MU on lid but not on lower lash line, if you started it, finish it!

I hate "rainbow" eyeshadow looks. I see a ton of tutorials where people use crazy colors. I don't mind one bright color, paired with a softer version. I like soft sexy looks, neutrals, etc. I don't dig the drag queen look, unless of course, you are a drag queen.
That's my opinion, and I know I am in the minority. I know lots of people like lots of crazy colors, but it's not right for me.

OMG, DJ_Roxas I could so not be totally more on board with you about THAT makeup turnoff.... They're aggrevating in SO many ways. "Let's take what makeup artists use their talent and time doing, imitate it, put it in little plastic inserts, BOX it, and SELL THAT SHIT!"

I think the worst is the user ratings comments on Sephora... OMGZ, it totally looks just like I did it myself so I told everyone that I did!!

Haha ok. I'm done w/ my little rant.

Oh, and so I'm not just riding someone's coat tails, those who insist on wearing incredibly dated makeup, like dark liner on a nude lip, and one stark, unblended black pencil line on the lower lash line (no waterline), with nothing on the upper of course (ew ew ew ew ew ew). Oh and there's one lady at my work that wears undereye concealer that's at LEAST 3 shades lighter than her skin. Wow. Match your skintone ladies, PLEASE.

Ooo OOO! I just remembered one that TRULY bugs the crap out of me when I see it.... Eye boogers, and they're especially noticeable all covered with eyeliner.

Oh boy, especially in pictures when chicks are trying to act like they're the shit. Scuuuse me, m'am, you've got some eye boogies, you might need to find yourself a q-tip.

That is very rude. There are a LOT of youtubers on Specktra. You are more than entitled to your opinion but that is offensive no matter who you are referring to, especially because youtubers do their videos to help others. Not to mention each of us do looks that our subscribers enjoy the most.

I personally hate the 'plastic' pornstar look. Why would you want to look like someone who sells her body? But toned down, it actually can look ok sometimes.

And ofcourse clumpy mascara, bad (heavily) applied makeup and orange self tanners

Orange or really bright coral shades of lipstick. On some people, it can look fine, but on other people, it looks...frightening. Also, I hate the 'spider leg' clumped mascara look.

This generally applies when they have nothing on their waterline and it just looks off, or it's wayyyy to thick on the lower lash.
Yours is always hot.

Overly frosted eyeshadow, usually in light colors. Sometimes they look decent on paler skin, but on darker skin (like mine) it looks horrible!

Drawn on eyebrows. Some people can pull it off well; most cannot.

Chalky/overly bronzed/overly luminized or glittered skin. Ugh; it looks so unnatural. I think someone with oily skin would actually look better than dry, cakey foundation. At least it is natural.
