What do you notice first about someone else’s makeup? Eyes? Lips? If they did a good or bad job?

The eyes!!
Sunday, May 18, 2008
That’s usually where my attention goes to, too!
Monday, May 19, 2008
I would say their eyes. And to be honest I look specifically for how perfect their eyeliner is (not the water line) :P
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
Haha, liner! Personally, I think I always miss that one.
Tuesday, May 20, 2008
Always eyes first and then to see if they have the dreaded foundation line around their face.
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
I always feel so sad for women who have the foundation line :(
Sunday, May 18, 2008
The lips. I’m drawn to the mouth, for some reason. I guess that’s because that’s where the talking is done. I’d notice whether she’s using lipstick, or just a gloss. Or if there’s anything green stuck between the teeth. I’m weird that way.
Sunday, May 18, 2008
Hey Tine!
That’s interesting, but I can totally see why. I’d notice if it there was a lot of product or they were really bright myself.
Sunday, May 18, 2008
always the colours on the eyes first
(then i will try to guess what they are)
then the technique/ presentation.
Sunday, May 18, 2008
Haha! I love that you try to guess what they are :D
Sunday, May 18, 2008
i know this sounds horrible but i do look to see if it was a good job or not!!!!
if it’s good then i’m drawn to look at eyes just because it is inteesting to see how other people use colour…
on the other hand if its bad i find i cant tell people - for example i had a consultant who always used a foundation 2 shades darker which was blended in with her hands BUT it alway left that mask effect. at the start i did tell her she had a ’slight’ line to blend in but there is not much more you can say is there?!
Sunday, May 18, 2008
I always notice whether it´s a good or bad job, too!
Too much blush, foundation that´s too dark, badly drwan-on eyebrows…that stuff. And it´s scary how many women run around like that.
Sunday, May 18, 2008
It’s so easy to see the foundation issue, and you always wish they’d see it, too!
Sunday, May 18, 2008
It is hard to give someone else criticism, especially if you aren’t good friends! But the mask, nooo! No woman should allow herself to suffer that :(
Sunday, May 18, 2008
How heavy/natural looking it is and whether they did a good job or not.
Sunday, May 18, 2008
True! It’s easy to spot a super heavy face from a mile away!
Sunday, May 18, 2008
Same as the last two commenters.. I always first decide if the makeup was done well! Then I make changes in my mind! LOL I can’t help it.. My biggest pet peeve I’d say is bad brows!!!
Sunday, May 18, 2008
LOL! Bad brows can really hurt the overall appearance, but it’s so tough to grow them out (I’m doing it now!).
Sunday, May 18, 2008
This comment about bad brows reminds me of an embarrassing story regarding my own.
Saturday, May 24, 2008
i agree about the bad brows! i always fix them in my head.
Sunday, May 18, 2008
I usually notice the eyes, I love the eye makeup where the bottom and upper lashlines are lined (the waterline sometimes is or sometimes isn’t lined), you know the really thin perfect lines usually it looks like they used their eyeshadow to line their eyes, I can never get my liners to do that. Sigh….I prolly just need to sharpen my liners more often.
Sunday, May 18, 2008
Hey Beverly! It’s probably sharpening, but even if not, you can always take a q-tip with makeup remover and run it under so you have that really thin line!
Sunday, May 18, 2008
For some strange reason, my biggest pet peeve is non matching foundation…you would be surprised how many women are still walking around with that line on the jawline…drives me crazy! I just want to blend it for them! Other than that,I just look at the overall presentation, especially the eyes.
Sunday, May 18, 2008
It’s one of my biggest ones, too :) It makes me sad because it’s so easy to fix!
Sunday, May 18, 2008
Yeah, I look at how its done as well. Not because I want to make fun or anything, but its kind of automatic, to notice if a person’s makeup is done poorly. Then I look at the eyes. Its my favorite part when I put on my makeup and I like to se ehow others do it!
Sunday, May 18, 2008
I agree! It’s kind of like when you notice someone’s sense of style or what they’re wearing and think “That’s a great outfit!” or whatever.
Sunday, May 18, 2008
always the eyes! : )
Sunday, May 18, 2008
That’s usually where I’m drawn to first, too!
Sunday, May 18, 2008
I notice the entire creation.
Sunday, May 18, 2008
Makes sense :)
Sunday, May 18, 2008
if it blends and the colors go well together..
Sunday, May 18, 2008
Easy things to see!
Sunday, May 18, 2008
I try not to be a hater, but a lot of times, I see women running around with bad, bad makeup on. And sometimes, with friends, I will go up to them and just give them a few sister-to-sister makeup tips and constructive feedback. But only with friends. I could never do that to a stranger!
Sunday, May 18, 2008
LOL! Well, sometimes you have to stage an intervention with those friends who do not realize just how bad their makeup is!
Sunday, May 18, 2008
I look at whether they did a good job or not, which usually is determined by looking at their eyes.. The face is pretty simple to me and is hard to really mess up. (For me, at least..)
Sunday, May 18, 2008
Hey Tina! I notice blush lines on the face, lol! Otherwise I agree, eyes are generally more noticeable!
Sunday, May 18, 2008
Eyes!
Sunday, May 18, 2008
Me too!
Sunday, May 18, 2008
I have to agree with the rest of the ladies… I look at how well they applied the makeup, how heavy/light it is, etc. Then I would focus on whatever is emphasized… if someone is wearing a red lip, my attention will probably shift to that, otherwise it’s usually the eyes.
But I definitely have to agree… I’m surprised at how many people leave their houses with certain makeup applications. I know that it’s a form of creative expression, but when people leave with crazy-colored eyeshadows, and gigantic falsies, and heavily drawn-in brows… let’s just say that’s not my taste. Makeup is supposed to enhance your features (which doesn’t mean I’m all about browns and nudes… I’m all about a smokey, green look ;) ), but as long as it’s applied well and not too over-the-top!
Sunday, May 18, 2008
I probably notice whatever really stands out, but generally eyes or cheeks fo rosme reason…
Sunday, May 18, 2008
Hmm… I honestly have no idea. I think I notice the foundation more if it is done badly. Can I see a line on their jaw? Eww.
I may also notice eye makeup…I think I need to pay attention to my own…noticings…more.
Sunday, May 18, 2008
Ohh, I hate seeing the dreaded foundation jawline!!
Sunday, May 18, 2008
If their foundation/powder matches their skin tone. That immediately throws me off, whether or not they did a good job on their eyes or lips.
Sunday, May 18, 2008
Oh, that’s so true! I feel so bad when I see mismatched tones or the obvious jawline :(
Sunday, May 18, 2008
I see eyebrows first. If they are drawn on or just botched up. Then eyeshadows, and then if your foundation matches.
Sunday, May 18, 2008
OMG, haha, I notice drawn eyebrows pretty quickly, too!!
Sunday, May 18, 2008
I notice if other people just have on “regular” makeup, or if they do beautiful eyes- like all the women here. And I won’t hesitate to compliment if I think its looks good. I think we need more of that energy in the world. And if it looks bad- maskish or something, I just keep my mouth shut.
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
Hey Michelle! I rarely see women with as much makeup as some of us wear :( I wish I saw more, though!
Sunday, May 18, 2008
i always look at their foundation =P
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
lol, it’s so easy to notice if it wasn’t done right!
Sunday, May 18, 2008
EYES
Brows
Foundation Match/Finish
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
Brows!! I’m so with you!
Sunday, May 18, 2008
In order, I notics if their foundation isn’t blending right. Then I notice eyes, then lips.
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
That’s what I notice a lot of times, too, Dee!
Sunday, May 18, 2008
Definitely eyes. First the colours and even more so the application. I’ve grown to really admire well-applied make-up so it’s something I constantly look for on ANYONE I see wearing make-up. I also notice nice skin because I long for it myself. Heh. Oh, and eye brows also stand out to me. Not sure why but I always notice overplucked/bushy brows. I don’t have perfect brows but it really bothers me to see hideous ones. :P I don’t go around looking for bad make-up though because I’m not one to sit in judgment. I more often notice make-up I admire.
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
Me too, Skyler! I love seeing well-applied makeup on others :D
Sunday, May 18, 2008
The eyes.. usually their liner and mascara. I hate clumpy, crunchy looking lashes, and liner where there’s a skin coloured gap between it and the base of the lashes!
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
You know, I don’t notice lashes very much! How funny. I do notice super, super clumpy lashes, though.
Sunday, May 18, 2008
Here’s my aforementioned embarrassing eyebrow story:
My assistant once came to work with a mirror and a black eye brow pencil. She told my brows were way over-plucked. She showed me where they should start and stop. Then she took the pencil, drew proper eye brows on me and said, “See, much better!”
This must have irritated her for months before she finally said something. I was horribly embarrassed but rather grateful. She was totally right. I penciled in my brows every day until they grew back.
Sunday, May 18, 2008
Brows, its essential for any makeup. foundation is also important. i dont like cake-like foundation.
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
Definitely brows… so true.
Sunday, May 18, 2008
Lipstick because its my first makeup staple and i always wonder whether i have that color or when i don’t, whether i should get it. Then the eyeliner as i still do badly with mine so i always enjoy looking at it. Then overall face; skin condition, makeup application, eye shadow.
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
Hey Pia! How are you?
I like the overall face, too. Hard not to see it all come together!
Monday, May 19, 2008
I always look at the eyes. Since I’m a newbie I try to see what they’ve done with their eyes and the colors used. I try and see if I can get some pointers for the next time I’m applying makeup.
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
That’s a great way to learn, Cel :)
Monday, May 19, 2008
The eyes!
For sure.
If I like it, I try to copy it!
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
Haha, that’s great. Do you find a lot of looks to copy?
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
Hardly!
That’s why I love temptalia.com so much!=)
LOL
