Makeup is like magic for your face. It can brighten your eyes, make your skin glow and make your lips attractive. But like any magic trick, sometimes it doesn’t work at all. You see, makeup isn’t just about applying some colors and hoping for the best. It’s an art, a skill that takes practice and patience to master. And while most guys appreciate the effort that goes into creating a beautiful makeup look, there are some things that don’t sit right with everyone, especially guys.
Picture this: You’re getting ready for a night out with your friends, carefully applying your favorite foundation, applying some lipstick, and adding a touch of mascara to your lashes. You feel confident, ready to take on the world. But then, as soon as you walk out the door, you see the looks on some people’s faces.
Confusion, maybe even a hint of disgust. Wondering what could possibly be wrong with your makeup? Let’s take a look at some makeup things that many people don’t like.
1. Keiki Foundation
What guys don’t understand is why some girls insist on applying foundation until it looks like they’re wearing a mask. It seems as if they are hiding their natural beauty under a layer of dirt! Plus, it feels weird when you go in for a hug and come out with a face full of makeup residue.
2. Overstretched lips
Have you ever seen lips that look like they’re from a cartoon? Boys find it strange when the lips are drawn outwards from the natural lines. It’s like trying too hard to be something you’re not. And let’s be honest, no one wants to see lipstick stains everywhere!
3. Excessive contouring
Some girls use contouring too much, making their face look more like a map than a natural canvas. Guys prefer a softer, more subtle look that accentuates natural features without being overbearing. Plus, it’s hard to resist the urge to reach out and erase those harsh lines!
4. Shine everywhere
Although a little glitter can be fun, people don’t like it when it looks like someone dropped a glitter factory on their face. It’s distracting and makes it hard to focus on the person beneath the glare. Plus, no one wants to see glitter in unexpected places a few days after a date!
5. Lipstick on teeth
There’s nothing more distracting than trying to have a conversation while secretly wondering if you have lipstick on your teeth. Friends, expect a lipstick that will stay on your lips during a conversation, and not move away from your pearly white lips.
6. Stiff hairstyle
Although it is completely unrelated to makeup, overly styled hair can spoil the natural look. Men prefer hair that moves and flows easily rather than being stiffened with excessive product and hairspray. After all, they want to run their fingers through your hair, not feel like they’re touching a helmet!
7. Smudged Eyeliner
Although a little smokiness can add charm, smudged eyeliner that looks like you’ve been crying for hours is not attractive at all. Friends, expect eyeliner that stays put, frames your eyes, and doesn’t create a nasty raccoon effect.
8. Bold, unnatural colors
While it can be fun to experiment with makeup, neon-colored eyeshadow or lipstick shades that look like they’re from a fantasy world may not be everyone’s cup of tea. Guys prefer more natural-looking makeup that accentuates your features rather than enhancing them.
