I'm sure it's a fairly common one, but oh my god I cannot TAKE it when people have the wrong foundation color. It drives me absolutely nuts.

And something else I'm not really understand but I'm seeing everywhere lately on facebook, is a HUGE 5 inch thick black line underneath the eyes, but no eyeliner or shadow or anything on top. I don't know, I just don't get it! lol.

Spider eyes! Ugh! It's like they make mascara spoolies for a reason. lol

Next item on my list... White on the inner corner of the eyes. Sure light colors will help "brighten" eyes but a ton of white on the inside corners near your tear duct... you look like you're part raccoon!

And yes, mismatched foundation is a pet peeve but I'm guilty of that when I'm using new foundation lines because I have very weird coloring.

Speaking of mismatched... I was watching What Not To Wear today and the woman on it (a cellist) was very pale but had so much bronzer that her jawline was practically muddy looking. 

LOL - I call them "tarantula eyes". If someone mentions Tammy Faye-Baker in your presence, you're wearing too much mascara!

I have to say, I hate hate hate the super-dark-lipliner-and-nothing-else look. I thought it died with the dawn of the 21st century, but I was wrong--I still see women doing this on the streets and it drive me nuts. I can tell that you have lips without your dark lines around them--if you're really that afraid I can't see them, wear a darker lipstick. Or any lipstick. Please.

I can't stand when people wear dark eyeshadow, but only on the lids - they don't blend it up to the brow bone or add a lighter shade or anything. 

^ Raccoon eyes! LOL

Worse are the ones that add dark eyeshadow or liner to the bottom of the eyes without balancing it on top. Line backer anyone?

I totally agree with the raccoon eyes!

And people (mostly teen girls) wearing WAYYYY too much black eyeliner!!

I always feel so bad when people go walking around with their foundation on and it looks like they're wearing a mask because they didn't blend it out! I just want to fix it for them, drives me nuts!

i hate when people have the wrong foundation color and it looks like their wearing a mask, dark lip liner and light lipstick, spider lashes, overly thick eyeliner, and over done blush.

These girls at my school... they wear like ten pounds of powder, ten pounds of blush, and ten pounds of mascara with their eyebrows filled in intensely with black eyeliner..... and when somones false lash is coming off and is like hangin.. that just makes me uncomfortable

Another makeup mistake I cringe when I see...

Powder face but worse yet, when powder face becomes a cakey mess around the nose!

"chola" eyebrows ...over drawn, too precise, un natural looking brows

I agree with all you ladies but I definitely have a thing about eyebrows that make you look like a cartoon character and the "Casper" face.

Creasing eyeshadow...clumpy mascara...poorly blended foundation....*Shivers*

I hate when the false lashes are not blended with the natural and you can clearly see the separation.

Super BLACK markered eyebrows looking like they fought a sharpie and the sharpie won!

@Avi... you mean like this? This is from the new movie Suckerpunch. I cringed when I saw this.

Now see that's just not right!!!!  :-(eeel

Over tanning. 'Jersery Shore' is not a colour. Orange is not natural. More importantly, you look cheap, not tan. All I think of is 'wrinkles wrinkles wrinkles'. We're over here fighting so hard to not age and these guys are begging the UV Gods to turn them into leather. lol. 

@ Nancy-Lee, your last comment had me falling over laughing :D

LOL @ Nancy-Lee. I'm reminded of George Hamilton

Ahhhhh, George SunTanilton.
;-)

@Christine R. - I try *giggle*
@Yasmin K.  EXACTLY.
