When I look at a person, the first thing I look at is their eyes. The thing that bugs me the most are girls with unbearable eye makeup. I know it's mean, but I've personally categorized them. My purpose for this is not to ridicule or to make fun of them. No, I'm not that mean. I just want US (that includes me) to avoid these colossal mistakes. Here goes:
1. "Eyeliner Happy" - These are the girls who I think must finish a whole pencil of liner in just one application. I don't know why girls do this. I know that a liner would help define our eyes and it makes our eyes look bigger. But when you look like a raccoon because of layers and layers of the black pencil, I don't think it serves the purpose quite right. Agree?
2. "One color fits all" - Professionals would use several eye shadow shades on their models. And most of us aren't professionals and so blending a ton of eye shadow shades wouldn't be advisable if it would look too messy on us. I personally use one two to three shades if I'm in the mood to blend and do the whole hullabaloo. When I get lazy, I put nothing at all. The girls that belong to this category are those that just pack in their lids one shade, usually the bold colors like blue, green, or violet. Why it bugs me? Because it's just not right. It doesn't look pleasant. Usually, it just looks tacky. Right?
3. "I see the borderline" - These girls are those who have two shadow shades on their lids. But when they quickly blink, you could see the division between the two colors! Where's the art of blending, then? All forgotten. Especially with two very different shades (one light and one dark) or two very different color palettes (e.g., blue and pink). If you do not have enough time/skill to pull a two+ shadow shade, just skip it and spare yourself from bad feedback.
4. "Matchy match" - Have you seen a girl wearing a blue top with blue eye shadow on? I guess this is a personal pet peeve of mine. I've attended a beauty workshop way back when I was still 15 years old and one the no-no's the girl reiterated was to have our eyeshadow match the color of our top. I hope everyone takes note of that ;)
I've committed these crimes once, I must admit. I've learned that there are no certain rules in eyeshadow makeups, but I sure do know what looks good on someone.
P.S. I have this personal favorite video that has helped me improve my eye shadow application technique. Watch it

I'm pretty sure everyone has their own pet peeves about eyeshadow makeups. What are your no-no's when it comes to eye shadows? What are your tips?
