Maybe at this point in your life you’ve learned how to beat your face better than B. Scott but in the steady progression toward perfection you’ve probably stumbled a couple of times along the way with these make up blunders. Check it out and learn from your mistakes.

Chicken Grease Lip Gloss

Lip Gloss is a quick, safe alternative when you don’t feel like rocking with lipstick. But just because it’s not as thick or not as strong in color doesn’t give you license to get carried away. If you look like you’ve finished eating a bucket of the Colonel’s extra crispy, then you’ve done too much.

Great White Fail

I don’t even know why such a shade exists…that’s not true. I’m sure white eye shadow, in the proper hands can look lovely. But with your clumsy hands and flair for over doing it, white shadow starts to look like a something like an enchanted nightmare. Unless you can blend with perfection, then it’s best you stay away.

Your Elmers is Showing. 

If you’re looking to go the dramatic route, I’m certainly not mad at you boo boo. Fake eyelashes can you give you that extra flair you’re looking for. But if you don’t take the time to do your falsies right then it’s all for nothing. Eyelash glue is a dead giveaway that you’re trying extra hard–and failing.

Mustache Lip Liner

I too have been guilty of the this faux pas. When my mom first started me wear lip liner, discretion was not the goal. I was all about highlighting the lusciousness of my lips and what better way to do that than with my liner? For a good two years I was walking around looking like a Latina gangsta chick.

Clown Blush

I still have to be careful with this one. If the lighting is not right, it won’t look like I have any blush on my face. So I keep adding more and more until I can see it. Luckily someone I love is usually around to ask me if I’m joining the circus before I step out the house looking like a fool. Be careful.

Cakey Foundation

Foundation can be your best friend or your worst enemy. As with most makeup tools, less is more. Cakey foundation makes you look plastic. Yuck.

Raccoon Eyes

Again, know yourself. If you don’t have those type of skills, leave the raccoon look to someone who’s been trained and according to the above picture, even they mess it up sometimes.
