The other thread was getting too long and difficult to load! 

So what are your beauty pet peeves? What grinds your gears? Share your stories!!!

@KEPMKO use a clear Mascara over your black mascara once the black has had a minute to dry down;)  an eyebrow gel would work as well.

@KEPMKO  Omg this is my biggest Pet peeve too. I’ve been loving Tower 28 Beauty MakeWaves Lengthening + Volumizing Mascara Jet  I react to almost every mascara I try and this is my go too when I take my son to swim lessons and I never have smudge or black around my eyes with this mascara. I hate when I have mascara and my eyes just randomly irritated and runny.

I used to wear bright red lips regularly. One day, approx 4-5 years ago now, I was wearing red lips, a new NARS one I believe. Felt great. After work grabbed a couple drinks and some food. Went into the bathroom and saw I had a streak of read on my forehead. And my cheek. I don’t know if it had been there for 30 second or 30 min or 3 hours. But my beauty pet peeve is when we don’t tell each other we have lipstick on our face ! Or our teeth ! This shook my decades-cultivated lipstick confidence and I’ve rarely worn lipstick since. (That said, it did lead me to my current favorite formula that I’ve stuck to for years, Bobbi brown balm lipstick or whatever it’s called)

I always quietly tell people if they have something on their face or in their teeth. I remember once telling a man he still had shaving cream behind his ear. He had been to multiple places before seeing me and couldn’t believe not one person had told him. I don’t understand why people think it’s more polite to let someone go off and continue to embarrass themselves rather than tell them

@jemly That's why there are some brands of lipstick I don't wear. I blame it on the formula. There was one or two that literally smeared all over my face like a clown. Just find a lipstick with a good formula to stay put and that is transfer proof. And keep your hands off your mouth and face. Haha Proly bc you subconciously know something is where it shouldn't be. I've learned touching my face a lot is a cue to check my lipstick. Once those lipsticks start to wander they become adventurers.

[harleymmmm]

Jemly,I agree w/ you which is why I tell my friends & even Strangers quietly & politely .

[heartsmyface]

@jemly   if you’re feeling antsy about wearing reds yet you really want to, try a lipstick top coat to make any lipstick transfer proof.  

 

[heartsmyface]

@jemly   I want to believe it’s because no one’s actually paying much attention to our faces and they’re too self absorbed in their own thoughts but yeah, that bothers me as well.  There’s no one who wouldn’t appreciate being informed of a makeup malfunction.  it’s not polite to say nothing when it’s an easy quick fix.  

[Mellmars1185]

@jemly I would want someone to let me know if that happened to me. That would be very surprising. Maybe a long lasting lippie would get you back wearing lipsticks again? If you miss it I say keep wearing them 💞💄

[ather]

@jemly  I agree. I don’t wear red lipstick for that reason unless I’m with my husband who will tell me. Why don’t women support women more?? 

[Sunnysmom]

@ather I think real friends (and strangers too, kindly done!) should always do this! That and lots of other potentially embarrassing stuff that could happen ! 😳🤣

[lmiri]

This is the same when I have "a bat in the cave"...I always tell people secretly they have something in their nose!! It's just not right keeping such a secret

[arlenekim]

Sneezing right after applying mascara 😣 especially with allergy season around the corner

[gonerogue]

@arlenekim I suffer from year-long allergies and HATE when this happens. When I feel a sneeze coming on while my lashes are still wet, I always slip my fingers under the lashes so the mascara gets on my fingers and not my face- works like a charm!

[itsfi]

@arlenekim, this!!! Ughh! Allergy season really does a number on any makeup I wear on my eyes. 😔 I look forward to the weather warming up, but not for the allergies that come with it.

[Krismorganj]

EASY. This has happened to me a few times now due to my adhd and just moving too fast lol. 

I have dry skin but I sweat easily due to hormones. So I have to use hydrating primer and matte foundation or the other way around. The days I move to fast and use a matte primer and a matte foundation I go outside and realize I look and feel like a crusty ghost. Skin dry face dry everything just DRY lol

[Lorrie380]

“…a crusty ghost…”

Great way to put it.  😊

[heartsmyface]

When you’re feeling super cute while out  and take a photo only to notice finishing powder has fused itself into your collar AGAIN.  Not a makeup wipe to be found either. 

 

 So is my life. 

[JoSometimes]

@heartsmyface All. The. Time.

Baby wipes are great in a pinch though! I always have a pack in my car for all kinds of messes and spills.

[cianni]

@heartsmyface beeeeen there! or my latest fail - does makeup, realizes my outfit included a turtleneck because its painfully cold 😩 the makeup was too good, so i did opt to be cold LOL

[heartsmyface]

@cianni  Oh my gosh I learned a trick to put turtlenecks on and not get makeup on it during the dressing process! Put a tea towel around the neck area so you have a protective layer.  Not much to do about the friction throughout the day  against anything brought down the neck though🙃
