I absolutely LOVE makeup, but some things are a bit of a hassle! Post your makeup petpeeves below. And also post any tips that you use to stop some petpeeves of people!
Here are mine:
• when foundation makes your skin look flaky
• when eyelashes aren't even
• fall out from eyeshadow
• lipstick that doesn't stay on your lips
That's all of mine!

I don't like when my eyebrows won't fill in properly or when eyeliner is uneven.

Use lip liner to keep your lipstick on your lips :)

@kaitlin, does your foundation always make your look kinda flaky? if so, you could be using the wrong foundation for your skin type. & for the lashes not being even, do you mean falsies or just your natural lashes? :3 as for fall out, fan brushes help a lot! or you can do your ye makeup before your face makeup.
my petpeeves are:
- when I can't for the life of me get my winged liner even
- when my skin just doesn't cooperate
- when I get eyeliner on my contact lenses.
- when I draw my brows in darker than I like, or when I draw them slightly uneven.
- uneven eyeshadow
- when I get mascara on my lids
honestly, if my makeup isn't even on both sides of my face it drives me bonkers :p

I hate how on one eye my eyelashes look full and long and on the other eye my eyelashes look sparse. I hate when foundation oxidizes

To add to what Kyra said, you can also use Scotch tape to pick up the fallout without smudging your makeup =)

@kyra, it's only flaky on my dry spots. and it's a pain to have to make them unflaky by taking off the foundation and applying moisturizer. ya know? haha
And I mean my natural lashes haha. I've always had the problem of slightly uneven lashes! :(
I can't do winged liner either, I feel your pain. And the mascara on the lids is such a pain. :p

Mine are:
? When I catch myself with my mouth open while I'm putting on mascara
? When my mascara gets on my eye lids
? When my make up doesn't come off when I try to get it off

Dry skin patches showing under foundation :/

@Kaitlin, I used to have the same problem! I had oily & dry spots that looked terrible under my foundation. what foundation do you use? & do you moisturize before hand &/or use a primer. that helps with flaky looking foundation.

When foundation oxidizes...
When concealer beads up underneath my eyes...
When waterproof mascara ISN't waterproof...
When I put on my makeup...then I suddenly decide to change outfits and nothing matches...
Chipped nail polish and hang nails...
I hate how lazy I get when it comes to sharpening pencils and washing brushes...
When I LOSE makeup...or it gets stolen...
Taking makeup off...
When my eyebrows look too big or the wrong colour...
...and I especially dislike when a new product breaks me out.

@ Kalynn, you seriously have the same exact pet peeves as me lol. I was going to post all the same things.

@Kyra, I use cover girl clean whipped creme foundation. I don't need much coverage, I just need an even skin tone. Yes, I moisturize every day and exfoliate every few days :)

Falsies that fall off, when your foundation comes out orange ick (I have really pale skin), clown blush, blue eyeshadow up to the eyebrows (this happens in my school sadly) and nails that are so sharp you could stab someone.

Dark, boxy, overly arched brows. Too much or too dark bronzer. Overly obvious contoured face. Big false lashes that makes the wearer's eyes look weighed down and downturned at the outer corners. Chalky nude or Pepto Bismol Pink lipstick on darker skintones.

Pastel blue eyeshadow that goes all the way to the brows, way too much mascara that ends up making lashes look like there's a total of about five lashes since it's all clumpy. Pale lipsticks on pale skin. Overly applied blush, black eyebrows with blonde hair, chalky face, when foundation looks ashy or orange.
