1.) HEAVY FOUNDATION and HEAVY POWDER APPLICATION
"no guy wants to kiss a girl on the cheek and then find he wearings foundation himself." Don't cake on the foundation and powder to disguise your "imperfections" everyone has them so embrace them and be YOU.
2.) BUMPS or POOFS
"be wary of anything that makes your head look unnaturally larger." Its one thing to pull your hair back out of your face but we don't need any more Snooki's in the world.
3.) NEON LIPSTICK
"orange lips are definitely a departure from what we're used to and not necessarily something a lot of guys I know really respond to just quite yet..." most guys are "hip" on the trends so bright, bold colors on your lips might freak them out a tad.
4.) TOO-THIN BROWS
"overly plucked brows"Bold brows are in..... stay natural ladies
5.) BOLD EYESHADOWS
"smoky eyes when don't right are great, very sexy, very attractive but when done wrong they look a total mess"Learn the proper way to apply eyeshadow before branching out and trying "new" colors and techniques at home.
6.) ROSY CHEEKS
"rouge is for old ladies" Bronze is the new "blush" it gives a more natural appearance to the face rather than a bold image that the rosy blush color would.
7.) TWO TONED LIPS
"when I see thin lines drawn around a pair of lips, I think : is this part of some gang initiation?"
Lining your lips is not necessary and more, but if you must stay natural and closest to your lip color.
8.) GLITTER
"women need to be judicious with it" Every girl loves shimmer and glittery things.. so when the whole concept of "eye" glitter came out... it was a craze. The issue is glitter goes everywhere it never stays in one stop so be sparing when applying to your face. REMEMBER LESS IS MORE.
Article by Piper Weis from the Shine Staff... when I read this article I just knew I had to share this with you all, I am guilty of doing some of these things and it is funny to have a males perspective on our appearance to truly see what they do and do not like. ENJOY! :)

EASY spot treatment for your skin.
I know as well as any of you that our daily lives can become very stressful with work, school, and just life in general. There always seems like there is so much to do but not enough time in the day to accomplish it.
So naturally with stress comes breakouts... doesn't matter what age you are, if you are stress your skin is the first place to show for it. If you have an unhealthy diet, lack of sleep, too much caffeine or just emotionally overwhelmed.... ALL OF THESE THINGS can lead to breakouts.....
I want to give you guys a easy way out these things.. Obviously as a women we wear makeup but I challenge you to on a weekend where you might not have as much going on, RELAX. Take a hot shower or bath whatever you prefer and apply this mask...
This mask is great for clearing up acne and itchy patches on your skin that caused by stressed and weather changes.
HOMEMADE ASPIRIN MASK
Ingredients:
*1-3 (white) aspirin pills
*coffee cup or glass cup
*shallow dish or bowl
*warm honey ( runny honey ), moisturizer made for the face or natural oil such as almond oil, olive oil or coconut oil.
PREP:
Depending on the amount of coverage needed.. ( the amount of breakouts on your face ) use about 1-3 aspirin. Crush the aspirin into small pieces by rolling the coffee cup or glass cup over them. Place aspirin in a shallow dish or bowl. Stir in a few drops of water to help the aspirin dissolve creating a paste like substance. Add warm honey, moisturizer or a bit of oil. STIR WELL. Apply the mask as a spot treatment to treat each individual pimple or itchy area. Allow the mask to dry and wash off after about 10 minutes.
ENJOY!!! xo
