Same as you Christine. Lining your upperlash sounds like a classic and a must to most but I do not find it particularly pretty. It makes the look too heavy sometimes. Moreover I have big eyes, if I use eyeliner I end up looking like a Lemur : O.O ! xD

I use shimmery bronzers all over my face when I should use matte ones.

I still use a slightly darker lip liner when wearing lip gloss. I rarely wear eye make up because it irritates my eyes

I don't use moisturizer and primer. I use just primer. Both would be wayyy too rich for my skin and cause the oilies. And then for non-MU days, I use just moisturizer. It kind of throws things off cos on reg (MU) days, I don't really have a way to use moisturizer in my reg routine. *shrugs*

Although it seems to be a cardinal rule of Indian beauty rituals, I am not the biggest fan of lining my lower lash line or waterline. I feel like my eyes are big enough to handle it, but it almost always looks really heavy to me. I only do it with softer colors when I'm making a darker eye to go out. The only time I do a full lining with black is when I'm aiming for something super sooty/gritty. Also, I had no idea shimmer on lips, eyes, and face was a no-no until I read the comments here! Granted, I use pretty subtle shimmers, but I love the look of a bronzer

I fill in my brows with black eyeshadow! I know you're supposed to use a slightly lighter brown to fill in your brows, even if you have black hair...but if I use anything but black it just looks weird. And it looks really obvious that I'm using product.

When I apply my eyeliner (both upper and lower), I have to tauten the skin around my eye. They say not to do that as, over time, my skin around my eye will get "stretched out". I'll take my chances on this, because there's no other way to get the liner on properly ... LOL.

I never ever use a lip brush to apply bright/red lipsticks (or any for that matter!). I have very full lips so using it straight from the tube really has never been an issue!

primer+foundation+powder my face is not a wall, the FULL full makeup look looks way too fake and personally I think its tacky.

I wear a full face of makeup during the day, smokey eyes and all. I wear bright nail polish in the winter and dark sometimes in the summer. And I almost never reapply my lipstick during the day.

I frequently match my makeup w/ my outfit. Not necessarily the exact same colors, but in the family. LOL Matchy Matchy! Faux pas, but I don't care. I like to "coordinate". LOL

I bleach and color my own hair... it comes out the same, if not better, than when my hair colorist does it. So, I don't feel that bad!

I rarely line my upper lash, I never use mascara at the lower lashes and I wear glitters during daytime!

1. I hardly ever use mascara on my lower lashes. 2. I constantly line just my lower waterline and lower lashline and not the upper lashline. I feel that it pulls the attention away from my lids, so I only line the upper lashline when I'm doing simple shadows. 3. I don't always line my lips. I own a couple lipliners, but when I DO line, I usually just line the top lip because my bottom lip line is funky and liner accentuates that. 4. Sometimes I wear bold colors on the eyes and lips. 5. I tend to use shimmery products on my lips, eyes, and face. 6. I don't top my lipstick with lipgloss. I use either one or the other. 7. I don't curl my lashes, but I've been thinking about it. I don't use false lashes either. 8. I don't honor expiration dates as long as nothing smells funny or applies weird. 9. I don't clean my brushes after every use, but I *try* to limit the amount of uses each brush gets between cleanings since I have a lot of them. 10. I don't brush my hair much at ALL. 11. Sometimes I'll leave my hair undyed for months at a time so my roots grow out. 12. I keep my hair washings sparing because it dries out my hair. 13. I don't paint my nails - ever. Whew. I think that's it!

Guilty of all of the above. Except maybe the shaving my peach fuzz one...

Curling my lashes. I have small eyes/sockets and regular lash curlers are too big to grip my lashes.

Heh, it looks like we're all really rebels at heart... Maybe we should all collaborate on a "Temptalia Community Blog Beauty Rules" book and then issue each one with a disclaimer to encourage others to break them if they want to! Christine, you totally should think about doing a book - even take the photos - you're so incredibly talented, it'd be awesome. :)

I like to wear brown smokey-ish eyes during the day... my eyes just look so defined that I can't stop. I also sometimes curl my lashes after mascara.

I HATE blush! My undertones are very yellow, but I have moderate rosacea on my face, so my goal is always to try to get the red out of my face to match the rest of me.

I rarely wear lipstick, or lipgloss outside of my house. I just dont feel natural wearing it in public. Ill have a fully done face (foundation, blush, eyes all done up) and Ill leave my lips bare.

Mascara! I know it's a must but it takes me too long, it never works out the way I want despite the various brands from luxe to less, my lashes smudge my glasses and obscure my vision, bits of mascara end up in my eye and irritate me for hours and I cannot touch my eye with it on and I'm just too darn lazy to to take that amount of time and effort at 5am every morning before work.

Even though I have straight Asian lashes that point downwards, I don't curl them because I feel like it somehow takes up lid space and makes my eyes look smaller, haha.

i never wear sunscreen, i curl my lashes after already applying mascara, where cool/warm/neutral WHATEVER i want colors, throw 2,3,4 day old hair up in a bun, use "expired" products, all kinds of "bad" goodies!

I shave the peach fuzz on my face with an eyebrow razor. It's fine and blond and it doesn't grow back thicker or darker or any other old wives' tale, but all other hair removal methods burn and sting and leave me with a rash. I also wear blushes that are probably intended for darker skin tones. I love nothing more than a super flushed cheek. I also keep makeup for longer than they say to. I figure it's like eggs, there's a date on the carton, but if the eggs aren't rotten what is the point? I am more careful with products that touch my mouth/eyes and then go back into the container like lipglosses with doe foot applicators and mascaras.

1 - I never ever fill in my brows - they're pretty dark as is and I feel they may take over my face if I were to fill them in! 2 - I never, ever wear eyeliner on my lower lashes, especially not on the waterline. I feel like it makes my eyes look so small! I always, always line my lower lashes (not waterline) with the shadow I'm wearing if I'm wearing any. If not, I like a clean, bright look and just apply mascara to the top & bottom and some highlighter in the inner corner. 3 - I don't tone my skin, even though it's oily. I feel like it makes my skin too tight! 4 - I have tons of lipgloss & lipstick, but rarely ever wear anything but balm/salve/Chapstick 5 - I don't straighten my curly hair - I know most curly girls do, but I refuse - too time consuming and bad for my already dry hair! Great question :) Loving reading all of these answers!

I'm really surprised that this isn't on here yet...or maybe I'm the only one? But I sometimes apply eyeshadow using my finger! I know it's the biggest no no ever, but it's way better than my stupid 239 brush!! Maybe it's just me?

i put foundation on my lips

I tend to overdo blush :P

I put mascara on my lower lashes! I love the length it gives them...I've always loved the Twiggy look. And I pluck above my eyebrows, too...otherwise they get out of control!

Some beauty rules I don't do: 1. I don't use face primers even though my skin is oily. 2. I don't put mascara on my lower lashes. 3. I don't line my waterline. 4. I don't highlight the inner corner of my eyes. 5. I don't line my lips.

I was told never to wear eyeliner without mascara, but I do that everyone once and a while.

- I don't keep track of "expiration" dates on my makeup. If the color/consistency/smell hasn't changed, I'm going to keep using it. - I never line my waterline, it makes my eyes smaller and it only lasts an hour on me. - I don't curl my lashes before mascara. I just find that my mascara goes on better when my lashes aren't curled. - I don't wash my brushes every day, I only spot clean until the end of the week when I have time to deep clean. - I apply my setting powder before blush/bronzer. I know that applying blush/bronzer directly on top of my foundation is supposed to help them adhere better, but I find that it is so hard to blend on top of foundation that I do it after I apply my powder. - I never wear the bubblegum/baby pink lipcolors. No Viva Glam GaGa. No Pink Friday. No St. Germain. No Snob. No thank you.

I apply concealer AFTER foundation and I'm realizing that more and more people do it beforehand. I guess I feel like applying foundation after will just wipe off the concealer, forcing me to reapply.

Christine, that's more of a "do" that you "don't." And so is mine because I don't pay that much attention to my brows. I pluck my own and get pretty lazy about it. I really don't think brows are as big a deal as people say they are.

1) I use my mascara until it dries. I have been using two for almost a year! 2) I never line my waterline. 3) I don't curl my lashes. I don't even have a curler! 4) I don't fill my eyebrows, but I keep them clean and set. 5) I seldom use lipliner. 6) I don't contour my face.

1) I layer wrong-color foundations to match so I don't waste them 2) I put water on dried-up mascara brushes of colored mascaras to keep using them 2a) I use colored mascara. LOL! 3) I wear whatever color eyeshadow I feel like, no matter the situation 4) I used expired lip products 5) I shave my face to eliminate small hairs catching foundation (this really works but sounds odd) The above sounds like a hot mess, but most of the time my makeup is very subtle

I apply tons of mascara, but it never turns into spider lashes.

I have never used lip liner and I don't think I ever will. I also don't fill in my brows but they're not that thin so I don't think it's much of a problem.

I won't die my hair, and I rarely line my waterline. I don't use a face primer either.

I'm with Christine (in fact it's why I like so many of her looks)I can't line my upper lash line either. Same reason, it irritates my eyes. I can line my lower lash though and usually do!! :-)

I don't line my waterline ever. Looks a bit overdone and "club ready" for my fair complexion. I do line my upper lashline. Sometimes the lower lashline, but that's also too much for daytime with my large eyes. Just person preference. :) I think you look great with your waterline lined, Christine. You have such a nice tan complexion!

I wear mascara on my top lashes always, but my bottom lashes never. I am missing a chunk of my bottom lashes on the left side. It's just always been like that. You can't tell, though, unless I put mascara on them (my lashes are very light, so you can't see anything without mascara)

Ahh, this is a fascinating topic and I have a LOT of them.. Hmm, where to start.. 1.) I use my mascara until it dries up or becomes too clumpy (Sometimes 8 months to a year). 2.) I never line my lower lashline with anything, my eyes are large & I feel like it accentuates bags & puffiness. 3.) I sometimes use 3-6 coats of mascara and somehow still don't end up with spider lashes. Hah :) 4.) I curl my lashes after I have mascara on. 5.) I never line my waterline. Too sensitive. 6.) I have green eyes and sometimes I wear shades of green on my lids. 7.) Sometimes I'll pair a dramatic eye with a dark lip.. Makeup "Rules" were meant to be broken. Creativity knows no bounds....
